you. Big mistake,”
I said.
    “You think something happening between us would be a
mistake?” he asked softly. Flinging the shower curtain open, I looked at him.
    “I don’t want to rush anything. I don’t want you to get
hurt,” I replied as I poked him in the chest with a soapy finger. He looked
down at my naked, wet body and then back up into my eyes. My body felt hot
all over and again the urge to rub myself up against him presented itself.
    “Control is overrated,” he replied after he gave me one
last assessing look and left the bathroom. This looked like it could turn into
trouble. I turned the water to the coldest possible, but even that could not
calm down my racing heart or my scorching girl parts. I finally cranked the
water back to warm and positioned the shower head in such a manner that I was
able to “take care of things”. I hoped he did not hear my soft moans, or that I
called his name under my breath when I came.
    At five am, I finally ended up falling asleep. The alarm
on my cell phone blared into my ear at 8 am. Walking out of the bedroom, I saw
Jack messing with his cell phone, a cup of coffee on the kitchen table in front
of him. He was wearing jeans and a navy blue Affliction t shirt. He was so
stinking hot. My cheeks felt hot as I thought about last night, but I pasted on
a smile as I approached him.
    “Good morning,” he said with a smile. Mmm he even smelled
yummy.
    “Hey,” I replied.
    “There is coffee on the counter,” he said, pushing a
button on his phone. I looked over his shoulder at the coffee cups with the
Starbucks logo emblazoned on them.
    “Thanks,” I said, grabbing a cup and sipping, eyes
closed, in heaven. Sitting across from him, I noticed that he looked a bit
worried.
    “Something wrong?” I asked, putting down the coffee cup.
He nods.
    “Your brother is AWOL again.You said he came home last
night? “He asked as he placed his phone on the shiny kitchen table.
    “Yeah. We argued. But I was the one who left, not him.
Why what happened?”
     “Well, he was supposed to open the shop this
morning. He had an early appointment. Chloe is there now and was able to
convince Axel’s client to reschedule.  Matt and Chloe both tried to call
him and text him. No response to text messages and all calls go straight to
voicemail. Matt went to the house, his truck is gone and everything is locked
up tight.” He looked at me, his eyes filled with worry.
    “Shit! That’s not like him. But this is what I meant, the
kind of stuff he has been doing since I got here,” I replied. Jack took one of
my hands and rubs his thumb over it. I looked up into his chocolate brown eyes
and melted.
    “It’s been going on a lot longer than that Bleu. Your
Uncle knew and tried to talk to him too. Even tried to get him to go out to
Cali with him or go with your cousin Spike. No dice. Axel just resisted. Or bit
everyone’s head off.”
    “Well I can help out wherever you may need me. It won’t
be much,” I said after a few moments.
    “Thanks, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. If
you were not here, I have no idea what we would do,” he said.
    “Um I have a slight problem,” I said softly after taking
a sip of coffee.
    “What’s up?” he asked.
    “I don’t have anything to wear, and Axel has the keys to
the house. When I left, I left the key ring on the coffee table,” I replied.
    “Which means you have no way of getting into the house?”
    “Exactly,” I said. He studied me for the moment.
    “I have some jeans you can borrow, and an A shirt. You
can wear one of my button downs over it,” he replied, getting up and walking
down the hall to his bedroom.
    “Thanks so much.”
    “When you get to the shop, Chloe can probably lend you
some stuff,” he said. He walked into his bedroom, with me close behind. Not
paying attention, I bumped into him. He looked at me and we laughed.  He
looked like he really wanted to kiss me. He pulled me to him and placed a
gentle kiss
