Free Wheels of Steel, Book 2 by Pepper Pace Page A

“Before it will go in all of the way without hurting.”
     
     
    “Oh. We’ll just have to keep practicing.” He tried not to smile, but then his expression turned serious. “Just promise me that you’ll tell me if I hurt you, no holding back, okay?”
     
     
    “Okay.” She cleared her throat and changed the subject in case people could overhear what they were talking about. “So this club; what do you do there?”
     
     
    “We just talk and get to know each other. Try to help each other out with issues. Sometimes we go out. Just like any other club.” She placed her arm behind his body and leaned her head against his chest and took in the sights of the fall leaves.
     
     
    “This is nice.” He said while wheeling them along.
     
     
    “Mhm.” She sighed.
     
     
    “I could…cancel.” Robin lifted her head and looked at him.
     
     
    “No, Jason. We have all of the time in the world to be with each other.”
     
     
    “I know.” He agreed. But it was like he couldn’t get enough of her. Before she arrived in the morning he was checking the clock to see how much longer before she was due to arrive. And each evening he wanted to hold her and fall asleep knowing that she was right next to him.
     
     
    It was the real reason that he had agreed to go to the club meeting this evening. He thought that maybe he wasn’t giving her enough space. After all, she was with him almost every waking minute during the week now that she was his night time aid. He just didn’t want to crowd her. He wondered if it was normal to want to see someone all of the time? After all she had a life, too, didn’t she? Maybe she wanted some space, maybe that’s the real reason she went home yesterday. He would need to really try to be conscious of it.
     
     
    Patty sent her a text and Robin met her back at the entrance of the building. Jason wouldn’t let her off his lap until he had received a goodbye kiss. She tried to give him a quick peck goodbye, but he gripped her lower lip with his and it virtually froze her in her spot. Something strange happened to her; the world disappeared and she had tunnel vision that centered around Jason and his lips and his tongue. Her body tensed; almost like a cat that was preparing to spring. Her breath caught and she suddenly returned his kiss passionately, aggressively, taking him by surprise.
     
     
    “Damn…” She heard Patty speak, as if from a distance. Robin pulled back then, feeling light headed. Jason’s eyes were half closed and he looked as if someone had knocked him silly. Robin climbed from his lap, fighting to catch her breath. She stumbled and righted herself, still not able to take her eyes from him. Jason’s lips were still parted. He was punch drunk from that kiss.
     
     
    Patty was staring back and forth from one to the other of them. There was a look of awe on her face. “Okay, you know what, Robin, are you going to be okay to drive after that kiss?” She was only half-way kidding. That had been a kiss that you saw only in the movies!
     
     
    Jason blinked and cracked a smile. He wheeled past them and into the building so that he wouldn’t have to watch Robin and Patty drive off without him. He almost wheeled right into Amberly who was standing just inside of the door.
     
     
    “Oh, hey,” he said. “I didn’t see you.” He didn’t notice that her smile seemed a little too quick, almost forced.
     
     
    “Ready to go?” She asked brightly.
     
     
    “I am.” The two headed to the elevators, as the club was held in one of the lower level rooms. “How is that video coming along; for Love’s End?”
     
     
    Amberly thought about the fact that it was Robin’s voice that had made the song so haunting and soulful…and then she quickly dismissed it. He had cut and screwed her voice so much that she probably really sounded like a hog crying for its slop! Still it was a good song and she wanted to make a good video for it. She just wasn’t sure what
