Getting closer

"Mate?" I asked again.
"Yes, there is a lot I need to explain to you when the time is right." Jacob gently caressed my thigh. I wanted to kiss him so badly. He is a big ball of sexiness and I was getting sucked into the desire that surrounded us both. It's been so long. I've never felt this drawn to anyone.
As if reading my mind, Jacob pressed his lips against mine. I kissed him back, my arms wrapping around him.
Our kiss deepened to moan. Jacob nipped at my bottom lip. He gripped my hair, pulling it so my head was tilted at an angle exposing my neck. He groaned before kissing his way down. His free hand under my shirt caressing my bare skin.
I felt his teeth scrap my skin between my neck and shoulder. Why did this feel so good.
"You taste so good." Jacob said before releasing my hair. I whimpered as Jacob pulled away.
"Please don't stop." I said, breathing heavy. I was all worked up and needed more.
Jacob chuckled. "As much as I want to keep going, I can't." Jacob pepper kissed my face.
"Ariel is awake." He said, pulling my shirt in place.
"Mommy.." I heard Ariel call out sleepy.
I looked at Jacob, and he smiled. I climb off his lap. I wondered how he knew.
"Mommy." Ariel called out again. This time at the door.
"Right here, baby." I said, making myself visible to her. I opened the door and went inside.
"Are you ok, darling?" I asked, picking up my daughter.
"You smell like Jacob Mommy. Is Jacob here?"
"Ariel," I didn't know what to say. Jacob came in behind. I felt his warmth against my back.
"Couldn't sleep, little one?" Jacob asked.
Ariel shook her head no.
"I'll tuck you in and read you a story,ok?"
"Okay, Mommy. Will Jacob come up, too?"
"Honey.."
"I have time for a story, little one." Jacob said.
Jacob left after reading to Ariel. He had surrounded her with stuffed animals, and Ariel loved it. She only made it to two pages of the story before she was fast asleep. Jacob gave me another steamy kiss that had me in the bookstore daydreaming about it.
"Must be nice." Liza said, snapping me out of my zone and looking at her. Liza is one of my employees. Shanna is the other.
"It is," I responded, grinning. Jacob made me excited. After our steamy episode, I couldn't get him out of my head and want a whole lot more than kissing. Liza chuckled, shaking her head from side to side while dusting. I didn't see Jacob this morning, but he sent Frit here with breakfast on Jacob's behalf. He said Jacob had left town for business. That was news that I didn't want to hear.
I wanted Jacob to be the one who brought me breakfast and lunch. I wanted him around all the time.
"Oh gosh, I'm the needy girlfriend." I whispered to myself. Liza chuckled. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. There was no way she heard me from across the room. She never looked up from her tasked. Only smirked.
"Mom, this town is strange." Jameson said. We were done eating dinner, and everyone was now in their own rooms except for Ariel, who was following me around.We all have been busy lately. The kids with school and helping with the store. Sara made friends, so she spent her free time with them. At least her friends were good kids. Kristen twins and Sara are bffs. They worked at Kristen's store often. I allowed Sara to work two days out the week. I wanted her main focus to be school. Jameson had one friend, Casey. The two seemed close, and Casey came to the house often. My sweet Ariel loves pre-school. She loves learning and being able to socialize with children her age.
"What do you mean, Jamie?" I asked, sitting at the foot of his bed. Ariel sat on his floor, playing with a toy that was there.It was my nightly routine to spend at least ten minutes with each child. I started this about a month ago when I realized how busy we all have become
"I don't know.."He huffed.
"What don't you know?" I patiently waited for him to talk.
He laid on his back, looking to the ceiling.
"We get out of school at two forty-five everyday."
"Yes, just fifteen minutes earlier than your old school."
"Mommm.." He dragged out. Sitting up again.
"We. Sara and I get out at two forty-five. The rest of the school stay behind. Mr Ledger walks us out every day, locking the school gate behind us.
"That is strange."
"I asked Casey about it."
"Yea, what did he say."
"Nothing much, just extra classes that everyone takes."
"Maybe it's nothing."
"Maybe, but everyone acts so secretive around here it gets really annoying."
"The other kids don't treat you badly, do they? If so, you can tell me." I asked to see on edge but didn't want to freak Jameson out.
"No, mom. Everyone is nice here."
I let out the breath I was holding. "That's good then, Jamie. I can ask Jacob about it.."
"No..it's nothing."
"Ok, J-bae," I smiled, calling him by his nickname I used before he turned into teenage mode.
"Mom don't,"He fell onto his back, covering his face with his pillow. I giggled.
"Whatever.. Goodnight, and I love you." I stood. "Goodnight, Jameson." Ariel crawled onto the bed and hugged him. He hugged her back. My heart warms up at these moments.
"Goodnight, Ariel."
I knocked on Sara's door.
"It's open, mom." Ariel opened the door and went inside. She climbed in bed with Sara. Climbing under the covers.
"Don't get too comfortable, bug." Sara said, tucking her in. Sara clearly did not mean what she was saying. I giggled.
"How was your day?"
"The usual. The twins' birthday is coming up they might have a party. If so, can I go?"
"I'll have to see. Maybe I'll ask Kristen about it."
"Ok.. Dad called.. He wants you to call him."
"Did he call today?"
"No, yesterday. I was busy working yesterday. I forgot about it."
"Ok. I'll give him a call tomorrow."
"Goodnight, mom."
"I just got in here, and you're already kicking me out." I said, still leaning against the door frame.
"Goodnight, mom," Ariel said. I walked over and gave her a goodnight kiss.
"Goodnight, you two."
I laid down in my bed, staring at the wall. I had a billion thoughts running through my mind. I was curious about what Jameson told me about school. The strange wolf howls I hear at night. The people who stay at the edge of the property. I haven't seen any of them. Ariel friends with Walton and the biggest thought was what my ex-husband wants. I haven't heard from him in months. Then he calls our daughter to contact me. Why?
