Free Covered Part Two by Mina Holt, Jaden Wilkes

arriving at the airport at three. I was going to pick him up and was already almost trembling at the thought of being in his arms again.
    We’d made plans to go for dinner with friends, but I had cancelled them, begging off that I was tired or something when in reality I was dying to get him alone and show him how much I’d missed him.
    I spent a little too long in the shower, thinking about him touching me, kissing me, doing all those illicit thrilling little things to me. The water started to go luke warm and I jumped out, hoping there’d be enough for Auntie G and Jenny.
    I towelled off and pulled on my comfiest yoga pants and loose top. I was determined to have a down day until I had to get Gavin.
    I walked into my bedroom humming a little tune and stopped short.
    Jenny was sitting on my bed, hunched over.
    “No time for eggs?” I asked and she jumped. She slid across the bed and dropped something over the side.
    “No, I just got a text from work, I have to get in early, cover somebody’s shift.”
    Jenny worked at American Apparel. She loved being able to pick up the guys who shopped there.
    “Okay, maybe next time,” I said and hugged her before she left.
    I went downstairs to have my usual toast and tea with Auntie G. She was chattering away about the other rings she might have cleaned, but she needed to get it from the safe deposit box at her bank. I hadn’t even known she had a safe deposit box, let alone one full of jewelery.
    Sometimes lately I felt as though I had been living the last half of my life in a fog, and it wasn’t until I met Gavin that things really started to clear up for me.
    I decided to kill some time before picking him up from the airport, so I had a nap. When I laid down, I reached into my pocket for my phone and was alarmed to find it missing.
    I searched all around the blankets and found it tucked just under the side of the bed, it must have fallen off when I climbed in for my nap.
    I curled up under the covers and read the texts from Gavin that I’d missed. I replied to let him know I’d see him soon, and fell asleep thinking of his lips on my body.
    I had fabulous dreams.

Chapter Eight
     
    “Oh my god, is that Gavin James?” a girl whispered from behind me. I was in the Arrivals section at SeaTac airport. I smiled to myself when I saw him walking down the long hall behind the glass, his thick legs carrying him with a sexy swagger.
    Yes, that was Gavin James and he was coming home to me.
    “Love!” he exclaimed when he saw me, “God how I’ve missed you!” He swept me up in his arms and twirled me around, my legs out behind me. I’d never been a fan of leaving the earth, as clumsy as I was, but in his arms I felt safe and wonderful, like I was flying.
    “Holy shit, that must be his girlfriend,” one of the girls said as we walked past. I flashed her a smug little grin, I couldn’t help it, and had to laugh when she gasped and said, “I would die if I was her!”
    We made it to the car before he was all over me, touching me and kissing me until I was breathless. I dropped my keys and he backed me against the driver’s door, pressing against me.
    “Fuck I’ve missed this,” he whispered against my ear, and nibbled my neck until I was shivering and ready to get naked right then and there.
    “It’s them,” I heard somebody say behind us, “from arrivals. Why is Gavin James driving such a shitty car?”
    I assumed it was one of the girls from the terminal. My first thought was damn it, I hated getting caught making out in public. My second thought was, come on, the car wasn’t that bad, was it?
    Okay, yeah, it was a pretty shitty car.
    I pushed at him and said, “We should get going before people assume your career is on the rocks, I think this car is bad for your image.”
    He laughed and leaned back in for a kiss. His tongue swirled around mine and my brain started to exit my body again. He pulled back and said, “David will love your thinking, he’s always
