Free The Look In His Eyes (Jasmine & Zack, #1) by Iris Deorre Page B

house was a little quiet, each one deep in their own thoughts. When the car finally pulled out outside the house Jasmine felt a sudden panic. There was something in the air, something they both felt but were not sure how to say it. But it was Zack who finally broke the silence.
    ‘Can I come in?’ he asked.
    Jasmine knew that was coming, what had she expected? He was her boyfriend, at some point he would want to come in, touch her and be with her. There were so many things swirling around in her mind that she felt as if her heart would stop.
    ‘The real me lives in there,’ she said finally.
    ‘I want to know the real you,’ he said gently. ‘I think I’m falling for the real you.’
    She felt her heart swell; she was falling for him too but what about all the crazy that went on behind her door. What would he think of her, and it wasn’t like she was going to change in a split second.
    ‘It will be okay, I promise.’ He stepped out of the passenger seat and walked round to her side.
    He opened the door and held out his hand, she hesitated but then knew that there was nothing to fear. It was in his eyes, they told her to trust him, allow him in. As they took steps towards the house that voice disappeared and was clouded by fear. Fear of rejection, fear of embarrassment and the more she tried to resist the more apparent it became.
    ‘I can’t,’ she said once they stopped at the door. ‘I can’t show you that part of me.’
    He lifted her hand to his chest and looked into her eyes. That said it all and without much thought Jasmine pulled the keys from her bag and put them into the keyhole. She shut her eyes knowing very well that the minute she stepped into the house she would have to turn the key back and forth to make sure it was locked. Did she really want him to see that part of her?
    The door unlocked and she stepped in and Zack stepped in behind her. She pushed the door closed, placed the latch on and put the key into the keyhole. She leaned against the door in darkness and turned the key once but couldn’t resist the urge to turn it back and forth. She scrunched her eyes closed with her other hand against the door and began to turn the key back and forth. She felt him move closer and his hand touched hers and together they were turning the key back and forth. His lips gently touched her neck, his hand not moving from hers. She gasped at the feeling, the soft touch of his lips and slowly and surely the turning back and forth of the key stopped.
    Jasmine reached for the light to the left of the door and again the urge to switch it off and on overwhelmed her. But that didn’t stop him, instead he kept his hand over her hand and as she switched the light off and on, his hand simply followed her lead. Jasmine shut her eyes and let his tender lips explore her outer neck. It sent shivers down her spine that exploded between her legs. She’d never felt this way with anyone and although it was a new feeling it was the best feeling in the world.
    ‘I...’ she stopped flicking the light and turned towards him.
    ‘Ssssh, its okay,’ he whispered and cupped her chin in his hand. ‘It’s okay.’
    Jasmine felt safe and okay even though there was the urge to pull away and run. But Zack took her by the hand and directed her up the stair as if he knew where he was going.
    ‘Show me to your bathroom,’ he said.
    Jasmine pulled on his hand and they turned right into the bathroom. He turned around so that she was directly looking into his eyes. He smiled tenderly and took her face into his hands.
    ‘I haven’t done this before and I don’t think I can.’ She felt weak and yet there was still fear.
    ‘We don’t have to if you don’t want to. I’ll have a shower, get clean with you and you can decide from there what you wish to do. I promise not to hurt you. I won’t do anything you don’t want to do.’
    His words melted the fear and soon she found herself relaxing and trusting the flow of life, trusting
