Hear No Evil - Chapter 14

When they reached the car, Jack unlocked it and turned to face her to find she was leaning against the car and smiling.

“Thank you Jack. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun. Thank you for bringing me here. I’d forgotten how much fun a fairground could be.”
“You don’t need to thank me Sue. You know that I would do anything for you.” Jack said as he smiled.

She could feel her body gravitating towards him. She wasn’t sure if it was her that was moving towards him or him towards her, or maybe it was both of them. They were only a whisper apart. She felt Jack take her hands and look intently into her eyes.

“I’ve had so much fun with you today Sue. I hope you will let me take you out again?”

He knew it was more a statement than a question but Jack didn’t wait for her answer. Instead, he leaned in to brush his lips across hers. He felt her quick intake of breath as their lips met. Her lips were soft like velvet and he felt her hands go up to grip his arms in order to remain upright. He couldn’t believe that this was finally happening after so many months of dancing around each other. They were finally in a place where nothing else mattered, just the two of them and how they felt for each other.

Sue was quickly losing all sense of control, not that she was in control at the present moment. Jack kissing her had caught her completely off guard. He broke into her thoughts as he placed the softest kiss on her lips while running his hands slowly through her hair. He was tentative at first, grazing her lips and then pulling away, but it wasn’t enough for him. He kissed her more deeply and lingered, enjoying her taste. He longed to taste her again, dreamed about it every night.

She joined him in the kiss slowly and then more passionately, not wanting to pull away, not wanting to stop, but knowing she should. They were in the middle of a parking lot, Jacks body pressed against hers, her back against the car, completely blocking off any means of escape. She nestled into him and deepened the kiss even more. Her hands went up to circle his neck, playing with the hair at the nape, causing Jack to slightly groan. Her innocent move sent shivers all the way up his spine.

They were bought back to reality when Jack heard a barrage of wolf whistles coming from the rink. He broke the kiss, much to Sue’s displeasure and indicated behind her. She turned to see a group of teenagers grinning and laughing at them. Sue quickly turned back, her cheeks quickly filling with colour. She began to laugh and let her head fall to rest on Jack’s shoulder, his hands still holding onto her waist. She couldn’t believe that she had let herself get so carried away in public. That was so unlike me. Mind you, I have never been kissed by Jack Hudson in public before.

Jack lifted her head and opened his mouth to say something when he was distracted by his mobile phone. He signed this to Sue and pulled out his phone.

“Hudson……Hey Luce……When?……Okay……Yeah she is still with me……We’ll be right there……Bye Luce.”
“Is everything okay Jack?” Sue asked him.
“We have a new case. We need to get to the office straightaway.”
“So much for that weekend off.”

Knowing that they needed to get going, Jack reluctantly released his hold on her and allowed her to climb in the car. He took a few deep breaths to try and steady his beating heart before rounding the car and jumping into the driver’s seat. Waiting until she indicated she was buckled in, he switched on the engine and left the parking lot, heading in the direction of the Hoover Building.
