“Then you need to get a couple of new shirts with a bit of cleavage and some tighter skirts, and then see how he reacts to the change. Whether he looks or not, I’d still invite him out myself. Just go for it.”
She groans. “He might say no.”
“He also might say yes.”
She goes quiet beside me, and I’m positive that she’s considering my words.
“I better get going,” I say realizing time is getting late.
“Thanks for the chat. I’m going to drive into town and get some new clothes. It’s been a long time since I spent some money.”
“Then go for it.” And go get him, I silently add.
We roll off my bed and Amanda hugs me before leaving me alone. Quickly checking out my window again to make sure Sarah is still distracted, I collect my purse from beneath the dirty clothes, and leave my bedroom as quietly as the door
will allow. I make my way downstairs and out of the front door, which has been left open a crack to my advantage. Whenever I sneak out, the front door has a habit of making the loudest noise. But not this time!
Hurrying across the road, I slip down the back of the corner house so that I can’t be seen walking to the crossroads to get into town. That’s the beauty about living so close; you can walk pretty much anywhere you want to go—apart from Donovan’s that is.
Donovan’s home is part way round the lake, and although it can be walked, it would probably take up a good part of the day to do it.
Arriving at the crossroads, I turn right and start to second-guess myself. What if Donovan doesn’t want to have sex with me bareback? I mean he’s a guy right? Anything to heighten their own pleasure—he’ll be game. Ugh!
Lost in my own thoughts, I suddenly notice Donovan driving along beside me.
“Hey, babe. Hop in.”
He stops so I can climb into the cab with him.
Grinning, I quickly kiss him before sitting back in my seat and belting up.
“Where you heading?”
Hmm. The truth or not?
The truth. “I’m going to see Bonny.”
He sends me a questioning look with a raised eyebrow.
“She’s the only one I trust to give me the contraceptive injection without telling anyone.”
He brakes hard, throwing an arm out in front of me.
“Sorry. Are you okay?”
“Yeah. I take it you don’t agree?”
He switches to the gas and gets us moving again. “I just wasn’t expecting that to come out of your mouth.” He glances at me. “Are you sure you want to do that? Isn’t there side effects with having the injection?”
“There’s side effects with every medication on the market. This is no different. It just means we can have sex without any latex between us. I’ve never been with anyone before and I want to feel every bit of you when you’re finally inside me.”
“Fuckin’ hell, Mara.”
He’s sweating, and yeah, I glance down and notice the bulge in his jeans. I’m getting to him.
“I’ve never done it without a condom before.”
His admission fills me with joy. “Don’t you want to make love to me with skin against skin? I mean, think how sensitive your dick will be when its not squished in a condom.”
