Out of breath

Before Jenny had the chance to respond Jason had her mouth covered with his lips. Jenny's eyes shot wide open, but she couldn't run as he was still holding her hand. So she used her free hand to form a fist and pound on his chest in hopes of him letting go. Jason had no such plan and grabbed that hand as well and pulled it over her head as he pinned her to the wall. He used his legs to keep her in place and to free his hand. He placed it on her face and tilted it so he could intensify the kiss. As it got tenser, Jenny's resistance and knees got weaker. She could feel her legs giving out as she let her body weight lean against the wall. All she could think was that everything they had done before could not be considered a kiss if this was considered a kiss as well. Those kisses before were simply a peck compared to this. Her mind had turned into mush. After he felt like he had "punished" her enough, he finally broke the kiss. "There, now we are even. The next time you decide to avoid me for such a silly reason I will collect my debt all together like I did today." He showed a playful and satisfied smirk before freeing Jenny and left the kitchen without saying another word.

Jenny was completely out of breath and she slumped to the floor in a daze. Her heart was beating at 200 beats per minute, her body felt like it was on fire and her face looked like it was. For a couple of minutes after the kiss, she was simply sitting there on the floor. Unable to move. Unable to say anything. Simply dazed. It wasn't until she heard her mother-in-law and father-in-law calling for her to say goodbye, as they were leaving for the benefit, that she jumped to her feet and ran out of the kitchen all flustered. She hoped they couldn't tell what had happened as she desperately straightened her clothes and her hair. Even when she was standing in front of them, she could feel the heat in her lips and felt shy while facing them. She forced herself to put on a smile and said her goodbye and wished them a good time. From the corner of her eye she could see Jason standing next to her. He was beaming with satisfaction. He seemed to be completely void from any form of embarrassment, which aggravated her. How dare this little devil do that to her? He knew that his parents were leaving tonight and that she would have to say goodbye to them in this state. That damn stubborn prince. Leaving after he is satisfied. Not caring about how he left and even gloating about it. I will be sure to get back at him after they leave.

Though it didn't go unnoticed by Stephen and Susan that Jenny's lips were slightly swollen, they decided to ignore it for her sake as she was trying so hard to hide it. It felt like a waste to let this opportunity go as Jason was no fun to tease, but for the sake of their son's romance they had to endure for now. They had already figured the motives of their son to clear the table hadn't been pure when they saw him exit the kitchen with traces of Jenny's lipstick on his lips. But when they tried to make fun of him being caught, he simply gloated in his victory without showing even a hint of embarrassment. This took away any sense of satisfaction they could have from teasing him as he would only see it as a compliment for his accomplishment.

Meanwhile Jason was still smiling from ear to ear as he was watching all of this. His little payback was giving him satisfaction in more than ways than one. Jenny trying to hide her embarrassment was one of them. Hopefully she would no longer consider avoiding him or ignoring him and if she did, then at least he would still have something to look forward to when it was time to collect. He hadn't exactly planned to let it go that far. He was planning on taking it slow with her, but who told her to hide from him in their own home. And after doing so, she even lied to him about it. He wasn't a saint. Far from it in fact. Something told him that he was going to have to pay the price for what he had done, but right now he felt like anything was worth it. So he continued enjoying the act that was being played out in front of him and would deal with what came after when the time came. Now it was finally time for Susan and Stephen to really leave, leaving Jenny and Jason alone once more. As the door closed and Jason turned to the living room, he felt a house slipper hit him in the back. It was time. The fight had started!
