Being shameless

Once the door to their room was closed, Jason walked to the bed and with his back faced towards Jenny he changed his mind on keeping his grandmother's question from her. Though them sleeping in the same room in his grandparent's house, gave him exactly what he had wanted, an extension of their truce, it didn't feel right to trick her into doing so. "I told my grandmother that it was fine to have us sleep in the same room, but if you are uncomfortable with it at the moment, she has the room next door prepared for you just in case." Jenny was caught off guard by his words and turned silent as she tried to think it over, but before she had the chance to give it a second thought, she found herself in his arms. With hopeful eyes Jason added, "But I hope you will stay here with me." After saying that he kissed her gently before looking her in the eyes once more. Jenny looked at his clear, unfaltering eyes and calmly she asked, "What was that for? Didn't you get enough of that earlier today?" Not getting the instant rejection he was counting on, Jason explained his reasoning with a flirtatious look on his face. "Well considering I don't know how long our fight will last, I might as well enjoy this truce while I still can."

Jenny still didn't turn away, so Jason continued to look in her eyes, while keeping Jenny in his arms. Waiting for her to accept his embrace or reject it as they were currently in an impasse and the only one who could break it was Jenny. The moment he felt her hands press on his chest, ready to push him away, he grabbed her chin and kissed her. Making her unable to reject him. He pushed her backwards until she fell on the bed. "What are you doing? These days you really are taking a liking to being shameless, aren't you?" Jason chuckled and with no intention of stopping he said, "I have and the one who drove me to it was you. So, since you caused it, you should bear the consequences as well." With that he covered her lips with his own as he held the fragile looking woman in his embrace. As she was pinned under him she appeared even smaller than she already was. Her petite frame being completely covered by his.

Despite how late it already was, Jason seemed full of energy and had no intention of letting her go. Though he wanted the decision to stay to be hers, when the possibility of rejection came close to becoming reality, he felt the need to change her mind one way or another. Despite her silent and verbal protest, Jason never loosened his grip on Jenny. With his arm around her waist, he accompanied her to the bathroom to brush their teeth. With each gnarl and glare, he smiled and kissed the top of her head lovingly. Later on, under her embarrassed glares and harsh words, he helped her out of her evening dress and into the comfortable sleepwear that his grandmother had prepared. Without batting an eye, Jason stripped her to her undergarments and placed the delicate satin dress over her head. Even his own clothes, he managed to remove meticulously without letting go of her for even a moment. Dressed in a plain t-shirt and his long boxers, he lifted Jenny up and carried her to the bed. Once they were under the covers, Jenny no longer attempted to run.

With the temperatures having dropped considerably over the past few weeks and even more so at night, he knew that at this time of year Jenny would be forced to crawl up against him to shield herself from the cold and steal some of his warmth. So, he was happy with the choice of sleepwear from his grandmother as this would ensure that she would want to stick close to him during the night and thanked her in his mind. This was also why he had been so persistent in keeping her close, because he knew that once they would get under the covers, his battle would be won.

The next morning Jason woke up with his feisty tigress lying soundlessly in his arms, still fast asleep. He looked at her peaceful expression and he brushed her hairs gently behind her ears. He continued to stare at her and before he knew it, he had lowered his face and had started to place a kiss on her forehead, her cheek and then moved to place a gentle soft kiss on her lips as he enjoyed what he imagined to be the last few hours of their truce. His kisses slowly woke Jenny up, who had first thought that what she was feeling was just a vivid dream, only to find out what she had been feeling was real. With half opened eyes she looked at the handsome man who was staring at her as he had propped his head up on his arm and was lying sideways next to her. She was still a bit dazed and looked at him with sleep filled eyes. As images of his actions from last night slowly came back to her, her expression started to change.

"What? Staring at your captive from early morning. Didn't you stare at me enough last night, in person, through the mirror and as you caged me in your arms like an animal?" Despite hearing her scowl at him and seeing her angry expression, all he saw was cuteness as if a kitten was growling at him with her claws stretched out. His silence made Jenny feel a bit uncomfortable as she turned her face away and said, "Don't worry, I won't escape. You proved last night, that running away is quite futile. And it is even more so now that we are leaving a few hours from now." This turned Jason's chuckle into a full blown laughter as he let himself fall onto the bed on his back. "I missed this, I missed you. Do we have to let the truce be a temporary thing? Can't it turn into a long term peace?"

Here we are with today's chapter. I hope you all enjoy and I will be back here with another chapter tomorrow!
