“Hey, Ames. I’m spending the night.”
“Yeah, sure, okay, Amy said. “Janie, could I talk to you for a minute?”
“Can it wait until tomorrow?” Luke asked. His big hand rubbed her lower back, and Jane smiled at him.
“I’ll only be a minute. I’ll meet you upstairs, okay?”
“Sure,” Luke said. “Night, Amy.”
“Night, Luke.”
Jane sat down across from Amy. When she heard her bedroom door shut, she reached across and squeezed Amy’s hand. “I’m sorry about earlier.”
“No, I’m sorry. I needed fresh air, and Mark followed me outside. I didn’t mean for you to hear or see what you did. I thought you were in the kitchen with Mom.”
Jane squeezed her hand again. “You don’t need to apologize. I took the recycling out for your mom and got locked out. I was about to say something when things got um...”
Amy blushed. “Oh God, I am so embarrassed.”
“Don’t be,” Jane said. “I knew something was up with you and Mark, so it wasn’t that surprising. Why aren’t you, uh, at his house?”
Amy glanced at her before groaning. “Oh fuck. Did you hear everything?”
“Yeah, I’m sorry,” Jane said. “Listen, I’m not judging you, all right? It was kind of hot, actually. I had no idea there was that side to Mark.”
“Jane, you can’t say anything to Luke, okay?” Amy said urgently. “Promise me you won’t say anything to him.”
“I won’t,” Jane said. “I promise I won’t.”
Amy searched her face before nodding. “Okay, thank you and thanks for keeping Luke from seeing us earlier. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess.”
“You didn’t,” Jane said. “There seems to be a lot of attraction between you and Mark, so why aren’t you with him?”
Amy blinked rapidly before rubbing at her forehead. “It’s a long story. Listen, my brother’s waiting for you, and honestly, I don’t want to talk about what happened. I wanted to apologize for it and ask you not to say anything to anyone about what you saw and, um, heard.”
“I won’t, Amy. I promise,” Jane said.
“Thanks, Janie.”
“You’re welcome. And listen, if you want to talk about it, I’m here, okay? Sometimes, it’s better if you talk about it.”
“Yeah, okay. Thanks, Jane.”
CHAPTER 16
Luke was already in bed and waiting for her. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before climbing into the bed beside him. He brushed her hair back, and she smiled at him.
“Are you sure you don’t mind me staying the night?” he asked.
“No, I want you to stay,” she said.
He traced his hand over her bare shoulder and down her arm. Goose bumps broke out on her skin, and he leaned over her and kissed her collarbone. “We had sex a lot today.”
“We did,” she confirmed as he cupped one small breast and stroked her nipple.
“Are you sore?” he asked.
She was a little sore, but she shook her head. “No.”
