said.
My small little world flooded with joy. Cause I’d heard the relief in his tone, the need met. And it was me he ’d needed for that. Little ole countrified me.
It still felt like a glitch. Like that time when I was ten , and in love with the next door neighbor at my cousin’s house. They’d all played a joke, saying he liked me , t hen they broke the news to me after an entire day of believing it. They all got a good laugh. That’s what this felt like. The too gorgeous intelligent guy, liking the dumb country girl from the sticks. I mean just perfect for a prank, really. Wouldn’t be the least surprised if cameras suddenly appeared with haha , you’re on candid camera, or whatever that st u pid show was they did those things on.
“I don’t want to force you Jewel. If you don’t want to come, just tell me.”
I stuttered out my confusion. “What? No, of course I want to come if you want me to.”
“I don’t want you to come because I want you to.”
I was startled by the clear need in his voice. For me to want him like…he wanted me? Made no sense, but there it clearly was. I reached a hand up and caressed his face. “You have no idea just how much I want you, do you,” I said, amazed. He slowly closed his eyes and his breath warmed my neck with his long exhale. The idea that this god of a man could have inhibitions or doubts about how amazing he was, gave me more courage than fear. I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. He parted them a little, almost timidly. It was so sweet. I stroked his face and lightly captured his lower lip b e tween mine and barely suckled. Then did the same with his upper.
“I’d say get a room, but we ain’t got one around here.” Sarah’s cackle erupted. “Never mind me, this is better than As The World Turns , sugar.”
Johnny smiled at the same moment I did. “Can you leave now? I mean, I’m going back to the shack to pack, can you meet me there in a few hours?”
I nodded and giggled, unable to contain my joy. His hand slid behind my back and kneaded the lower part. Whoo , must be some nerves attached to the vagina right there. Or it was just him ; h e was attached to my vagina. Everything about him, every look, touch, smell, it all seemed to work like soft fingers flicking over my clit. Heavenly father help me.

“I’m leaving for a trip,” I said into the phone while throwing clothes out of my drawer and onto the bed.
“What? Really? Who, what, why, when, where?”
I gasped a laugh. “Slow down doc.”
She choked on more words that didn’t make it out.
“I met a man.”
“ Ohhhh dear.”
“He’s nothing like Jessie. ”
She gave a sigh. “I’ll not coddle you, you’re not a child”
“No, I’m not.” I sat on the bed, hanging my head. “It’s just that…it’s just that I don’t understand why.”
“Why what honey.” Her tone caressed.
I shook my head, fighting down the emotion. “Why he even likes me, I mean, it really don’t make no sense, he’s amazing and gorgeous—”
“Just stop it. Right there. You’ve been in therapy far too long Jewel to say such things. You know better, now start acting on what you know. Not on old feelings.”
I nodded, keeping my eyes closed. “Okay, yes.”
“So tell me. Just how amazing is this guy?”
I smiled at hearing the friend side of her come out. I gave out a long groan.
“Wow, really!”
“Yes.”
“Did you…sleep with him. ”
I nodded several times before whispering, “Yes. Yes, I did. Many times. In one day. Oh my God, I have never been made to feel…the way that man makes me feel, T o nya. I mean, I had orgasms I didn’t think were even possible!”
“Oh my.” Curiosity and envy echoed in her tone.
My heart raced as I walked the room. “I mean the things he did with his fingers and and tongue.”
“Oh child, enough. I can’t take this, I’m too old to be subjected to this type of passion.”
“Sorry, I’m just…so used to telling you
