He pauses for a long moment. “You make me want to be good . . . for you.”

I can be good for you too.

CHAPTER 37

JACK

Icame in extra early today to discuss our MC working with Tim’s. Mike wouldn’t cancel the agreement, and the club backed him, but it was a close vote. Mike took a ride out to smooth the situation over with Tim. It’s been slow at the shop, so it’s made for a shitty day.

My phone chirps with a text.

Jessi

How’s your day?

Me

It’s goin’. Ready to get off.

Jessi

Miss me already?

My eyebrows lift. Is she trying to flirt with me?

Me

Always.

Jessi

Really? You miss me?

Me

Do you not remember me tellin’ you that I like it when you are with me? I meant it.

Jessi

Do you like steak? I was thinking of making that tonight. I want to make something for you that you will enjoy.

I want to tell her that all I want to eat tonight is her, but that’s inappropriate.

Me

I’m not picky. Everything you make is good.

Jessi

When will you be home?

Me

30 min. Headin’ out soon.

I can’t wait to see Jessi, so I leave early. It took everything I had not to have her on my bed last night, and it pained me not to. But I’d let her go, watched her go back to her room and shut the door, all while wishing she’d stayed.

She races to me as soon as I enter the kitchen. “Jack! You’re early. It’s not quite done.”
