Discovering Us
and kissed the side of my mouth, then moved his lips over my jaw and down to my neck.
    I yawned. “It was,” I said, not being able to keep my eyes opened anymore.
    I heard him chuckle in the space between my neck and shoulder, and then I was out.
     
     
    I woke up to the sound of laughter coming from the living room. Turning over, I saw that Jag was gone. My heart jumped when I thought that he might’ve left. Then my heart fell when I wondered if I’d dreamed his being there. But as I got out of my bed and turned to throw the covers back up, I blushed when I saw the evidence on my sheets that he’d actually been there, that he’d taken my virginity. I pulled on a sweatshirt, no bra, and panties and shorts then stripped the bed, throwing the sheets on the floor in a pile, getting new ones out of my closet, making the bed back up. Gathering up the sheets off the floor, I left my room and went to the laundry room, throwing them inside the washing machine and starting it.
    Walking into the living room, I saw Rebecca and Ross sitting on the couch talking to Jag who was in the recliner, looking handsome as ever. When he saw me, his hotness level went up twenty bajillion levels because the look on his face was so adoring, it made my stomach go all melty inside.
    I smiled shyly at him as I walked over to where he sat, falling into his lap when he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me down.
    “Hey,” he said with a smile before kissing me softly.
    “Hey,” I said back then cupped his face with both my hands and leaned in to kiss him again, this time much more deeply, with tongue and everything, moaning into his mouth until I heard someone clear their throat. Crap! I’d forgotten Rebecca and Ross were in the room. I pulled back and looked at Jag, my face scrunched up in embarrassment before saying, without turning to look at Rebecca and Ross, “Hey, guys. Sorry. Forgot you were here.”
    Jag chuckled at that, spreading his hand at the back of my head and pulling me to him so he could touch his lips to mine again. “You’re just too damned cute, baby,” he said against my lips.
    I blushed before turning to face my roomie and her boyfriend and waved like an idiot. “Hey.”
    “Hey,” Rebecca said with a snort. “Nice of you to get out of bed, sleepyhead.”
    “What time is it?” I asked her.
    “Five.”
    “What?” Jeez, Rocket Fuel sure was a freaking time sap. “How long have you been here?” I turned and asked Jag with a frown finally getting to the questions that’d been swirling in my head ever since I’d turned over to discover him in bed with me.
    “I got here around eleven this morning,” he said into my hair as he kissed the side of my head.
    “Speaking of, how did you get here?”
    “I drove,” he told me with a shrug.
    “Drove.”
    “Yes, drove.”
    “You drove thirteen hours to come see me?”
    He sighed and looked over at Ross then rubbed a hand over the back of his neck as if embarrassed. “Yeah.”
    “So you drove thirteen hours… just to come see me…”
    He let out a breath. “Baby, when I got those pictures of you and that guy, I lost it. I couldn’t stand that he was touching you when I haven’t been able to in almost three months. I couldn’t take it any longer. Got in my car and left.”
    “But you have practice…”
    “Yeah. I called Coach and told him I had a family emergency.” His blue eyes pierced mine.
    “You did that because you were jealous?”
    He nodded slowly at me. “That and I needed to see you.”
    Wow.
    Then a thought hit me. A not so good thought. A thought that kind of pissed me off.  “Did you think I was going to cheat on you?”
    He cupped my face with his hands, smoothing a thumb back and forth over my lips. “No, babe. I told you I don’t worry about you doing anything. It’s all those bastards out there hitting on you that pisses me off.”
    Hm. Well, at least he trusted me . And he’d driven all night just to be here. “Oh, God, you
