folds her arms over her chest, he chuckles again because he knows he has won. The feeling of gratification does not last long. It is quickly replaced with yearning. Ian does not take a seat. Instead, he pulls on her ankles bringing her body down so that it lies flat on the bed. He then crawls on top of her. He kisses her as if it is their last kiss. His hands move rapidly all over her arms and legs, his fingers pressing into her flesh. He grasps the back of her neck and pulls her into another passionate kiss.
    “I’m so sorry, baby. I love you so much,” he says, as he continues to kiss her face, her neck, and her mouth.
    Heat floods his body and he aches even more. Desire takes control of him as his kisses become more heated.
    “We can’t,” she whispers with a heavy breath.
    Ian kisses her feverishly. His hands move up her legs, and he reaches for her panties. She takes hold of his wrist and pushes his hand back down her leg. Abruptly he grabs her hand and puts it on his erection.
    “Stop!” she gasps.
    He immediately gets off her and sits on the edge of the bed.
    “I’m sorry,” she says, in a wounded voice.
    “No, don’t be sorry. I’m the one that should be sorry,” he whispers.
    “It’s just that James is right down the hall and if he catches us…” She pauses and touches his shoulder. “No matter how understanding he may seem, I think he’d kill you.”
    “I get it. You’re right. I wasn’t thinking. My body just kinda went into auto pilot because I just want you so bad, but I don’t want to push you, baby. I want the time to be right. You need to be ready.”
    The innocent smile she returns to him confirms his feelings. Without a word he stands and bends down to kiss the top of her head. She smiles at him as he runs his hand across her smooth face, then he turns and leaves the room.

 
 
 
    Early the next morning, Grace brings James his coffee as he climbs into his rig.
    “Be safe,” she says, smiling and handing him his coffee cup. “I’ll miss you!”
    “You too,” James says. “You better go wake up Michelle or you’re all going to be late for school.” He starts his truck and pulls his baseball cap over his head while he looks himself over in his rearview mirror.
    “I will. So we’ll see you this weekend?” she asks, raising her voice to a yell so that he can hear her over the loud hum of the truck’s motor.
    “Yeah. If you need me just call me on my new cell.”
    With that, he slams the door to his truck shut, and Grace watches as he pulls out of the driveway and drives down the street.
    Grace goes back into the house and walks into Michelle’s room. She flicks the light on. “Time to get up, Missy.”
    Michelle immediately greets her with groans. “No, I don’t want to go to school.”
    “Get up.”
    Remembering her plan, Grace changes her voice to sound husky and sick-like. “ Me and Ian have the flu or something. You’ll need to go to school alone.”
    “Oh shit, that sucks,” says Michelle, as she gets out of bed. “Stay away from me! I don’t want to get sick.”
    Grace coughs and puts her hand over her mouth, snickering under it, feeling excited that she has pulled off the first part of her plan.
    She leaves Michelle’s room and quietly walks into Ian’s. As silently as she can, she turns his alarm off and leaves him sleeping. Back in her own bedroom, she waits and watches through her window until Michelle walks down the sidewalk headed for their school. She then goes downstairs to Ian’s room again. “Ian…Ian. Wake up.”
    He opens his eyes and greets her with a warm, happy smile. “Good morning, beautiful.”
    “Good morning, my love.” She smiles back.
    Ian turns over on his side and looks at his alarm clock.
    “Holy shit!” he says, as he jumps out of bed.
    “I hope you’re not going to be mad at me, but I have a little surprise for you,” she says, as she brings her hands together in front of her mouth. Dropping her hands she smiles
