Picking up my phone, I made to dial his number but something made me stop. Of course, he would answer in a heartbeat if I called but I did not want to worry him. I would probably burst into tears or something.
After half an hour, I finally plodded down to where Jasper had parked the car and he shut down his laptop, getting ready to drive us back. I said nothing to him, my heart aching. Jasper was so unreachable sometimes. I did not believe he loved me for a minute now. Maybe he just loved the idea of me. Or maybe it was all about sex.
"Here." He handed me a Styrofoam coffee-cup and a sandwich. "You need anything else before we go? I won't be stopping."
I looked towards him, grateful that he had at least thought of breakfast.
"No. Thanks."
Jasper studied my face for a while and then his thumb came up to run over my lips, his eyes growing hungry.
"Do you have work today?" he asked me.
I shook my head. He popped his thumb in my mouth and held it there.
"Me neither. Are you…sore from last night?"
The devil came over me then. Wrapping my fingers around his wrists, I gripped his thumb between my lips and sucked on it softly. Jasper's calm facade faltered. He pushed it in deeper and I moaned.
Then he cursed and pulled his thumb back out with a pop only to abruptly start the car. "Eat your breakfast," he snapped at me. "And don't fucking touch me while I'm driving otherwise we'll never get home. Fuck, the things I'm going to do to you when we get back..."
He sped down the road and I smiled to myself. Making him lose control like that was heady and exciting. A part of me wanted to tease him while he drove just to see what he might do to me this time but I held back. There would be time for that later.
I replied to Cole's messages from last night, explaining that I had fallen asleep before I saw them and then ate the sandwich in silence while sipping on my coffee.
There would be time to talk about this later as well with Cole but right now, I just wanted to ride in the roller coaster that made up the world of Jasper Wells.

Chapter 29
Cole
I pushed open the door to my apartment that afternoon to find Skye sitting on the couch drinking something hot from a mug and dressed in a black hoodie with black shorts, her hair in a loose bun atop her head.
My first thought was that she looked so adorable.
My second thought was...
"Why does this place smell like sex?"
She froze in the middle of drinking and stared at me, stunned. Jasper came out of the shower then and my eyes immediately ran up and down his wet body, zeroing in on the reddish, crescent-shaped marks on his smooth biceps. My stomach dropped, my heart almost stopped beating and I let my briefcase and jacket fall to the floor carelessly.
"Wow," I said because it was all I could manage through the shock of discovering that they had slept together. Without even talking to me about it or waiting for me. "Wow."
Skye unfolded herself from the couch and started to approach me with a concerned look. "Cole. Baby-"
"I need a minute," I stated, unable to look at either of them before I made myself move. I couldn't go in the bedrooms because they would follow me there soon so I went in the office, shut and locked the door before slumping down against the wall.

Skye
"It's been one hour," I said to Jasper exasperatedly from where I stood behind the couch and watched the office door. "I'm worried."
Jasper scoffed, the asshole. "What's new?"
I glared at him. "Can't you do something?"
He gulped down the remaining scotch in his glass and walked over to me, pressing his body to mine. "You mean like right now?" he teased.
I whacked him on the shoulder. "Please. Please be serious. Jasper-"
He shut me up by kissing me and I gasped into his mouth. Upon arriving home a couple of hours ago, he had taken me on the couch, against the kitchen counter, in my bed and paid tribute to my pussy in the shower with his mouth. He was insatiable. And I was no better.
Tears filled my eyes and he backed up and gave me a warning look.
"No. No. Please don't cry," he said in a wary tone. "Skye. I've known him for years. He goes quiet when he's upset and he needs time to snap out of it. He won't open that fucking door before he wants to unless one of us is dying out here."
I blinked at him, looked at the closed door, took a deep breath and let out a shriek.
It sounded as though somebody was seriously hurting me and Jasper's expression was comical as he gaped at me. The office door burst open and within seconds, Cole was there. My sweetheart.
"Skye! What's the matter? What happened?" he asked me frantically, searching my face and holding my shoulders firmly.
When I didn't answer, he shot a menacing look at Jasper, one I had never imagined he was capable of.
"What the fuck did you do to her?" he bit out. I slipped my hand over his tight jaw and made him look back at me.
"Nothing. He didn't do anything. It's Jasper, Cole," I soothed and managed a smile. "He wouldn't hurt me." I removed his glasses as he visibly calmed down
