“Did you miss me?” Haley asked as she teased his ear. “Even a little?”
Christ, he couldn’t think, never mind answer her.
“Hmm, why don’t we see what else we can do to make you more comfortable, shall we?” Haley asked, smiling against his neck.
He raised his head when he felt her move away from him. Panting, he watched her sit back as she ran her hands over his thighs. Every time she ran her hands closer to where he needed her, he groaned in frustration.
“Fuck!” he gasped when Haley leaned forward and pressed a kiss against the bulge in his pants.
“Tell me that you missed me,” Haley said quietly as she leaned back and ran her hand over the bulge between his legs, lightly gripping it before reaching for his belt.
He stubbornly shook his head. As much as his body screamed for her touch, Jason couldn’t do this. Haley deserved to be with someone she loved, someone who made her happy and as much as it pained him to admit it, it wasn’t him.
“Stop.”
Chapter 28
“Stop!” Jason begged.
Haley finished pulling his belt loose, unbuttoned his pants, and had his zipper down before he could say it again. She sat back, leaving his pants open and revealing the large bulge now hidden only by his gray boxer briefs.
“Okay,” Haley said soothingly as Jason sucked in a deep breath and visibly relaxed.
She knew that she was pushing him, but she had no choice. Jason was being so damn stubborn and wouldn’t listen to her. She mentally tsked him as she stood up. If only he’d stuck around two weeks ago, he’d know exactly how much she wanted him and how sorry she was that she’d hurt him.
There was no doubt in her mind that she’d hurt him, and she hated herself for it. When she’d told herself that there could never be anything more with Jason, she’d been foolish. She’d been so frightened to let herself truly love him and hope for a future that she’d convinced herself was impossible. She’d been so damn selfish and because of that, she’d hurt the man she loved.
Now, he was hurting and trying his best to take care of her by protecting her. As much as it warmed her heart that he’d do anything to make her happy, she was actually pretty pissed. His stubbornness was only delaying the inevitable. She’d break out the fists of fury to knock some sense into him, but she didn’t want to hurt him.
So, that left only one thing...
Biting back a smile, Haley stood up and leaned back against the kitchen table. She’d never done anything like this before, but this was for Jason. It didn’t hurt that he was handcuffed and couldn’t stop her.
“Are you sure that you want me to stop?” she asked coyly.
“Yes,” Jason hissed, still panting.
“Hmmm, then perhaps we should just talk?” Haley suggested as she stepped out of her high heels.
Jason’s eyes narrowed on the action as he absently nodded.
“I think we should forget about being friends, Haley, and go our separate ways,” Jason said, looking up but not quite meeting her eyes. “Once my house sells, I’m moving away for good.”
“That’s really not going to work for me,” Haley said, reaching up and slowly unbuttoning her silk blouse.
“That’s too damn bad, Haley! I’m moving. You need to move on,” Jason snapped, clearly trying not to watch as she revealed the black lacy bra that she bought just for him.
“Have you moved on?” she casually asked, gently shrugging out of her shirt.
“Yes,” he said without any hesitation.
“I see,” Haley said, biting back a smile as his eyes devoured her.
She reached back and released the fastenings on her skirt and watched as Jason followed the skirt as it hit the floor, hesitating at the matching black panties. Haley stepped out of the skirt and kicked it aside before leaning back against the table.
“So,” Haley said, tracing the top of her bra with a fingertip, “you’re over me?”
“Yes.”
