Jason moved his hands froripped her botto little doubt as to how excited he was Claire’s own hands locked around his neck, bringing her body into even closer contact with his hard contours, desperate to feel his heat everywhere Jason’s hand slid back up her body and continued on until it was cupping her breast

She arched her back as Jason lowered his head to suck her nipple through the fabric of her dress and bra Heat exploded inside her; the cool feel of the wet fabric against her nipple was alround the voice in her head was screa in need and the voice was easily overlooked She couldn’t rery with hi inside her

Claire’s hands lowered to the buckle of Jason’s belt, and soon had it open; the snap of his jeans was next Jason slid his hands up her thighs bunching the ripped the fliive on the side sliding down her legs Quickly kicking them off her feet, Claire s and into the drenching heat within

She et and ready, her need for hi The approving groan froht She basked instead in the answering exciteh him as his body shuddered with arousal As if unable to hold back any longer, Jason quickly stepped out of his jeans and leaned back against the wall He lifted her and lowered her onto his around his waist Her head fell back, and Jason kissed his way up to her neck as he puasas as he continued to slide in and out of her Jason grabbed her tightly walking over to a chair, careful to keep thes on either side of his as he continued to pu while his other hand roareat was the pleasure rushing through her The roo and moans of pleasure Jason used this new position to his advantage, and his hands seemed to be everywhere at once He stroked her clit and Claire felt what little strength she had leave her completely Jason took her hips andthem both towards completion

Claire didn't think it was even possible to have an orgas The pressure in her body suddenly exploded white hot, pushing a scream from her that was quickly echoed and sed by Jason’s mouth Claire felt hiainst hione

Di their bodies, and then she was lying on so against her stoht in Claire’s mind before she drifted aas that there was truly a thin line between love and hate

Claire awoke sometime later, disoriented as she looked around the unfa the hour of 7:00a, Claire felt the aches and pains in her body and s beside her, Claire could make out the indention on the pillohere Jason had lain That side was now empty and cool to the touch He had been up for some time

Suddenly, abefore ca back Oh God, no! Jason was no better than her father; he had taken over her life The packaging ht be different; the rest was the sa voice in her head as though it was yesterday

Poor stupid Claire, do you honestly think that you, your mother or your sister would ever survive on your own? You’re barely fit to leave the house, everything you do is wrong I’ care of you bunch of fools If I can ever even et anyone to marry you, I truly pity them Not only are you plain, you have a coot that froer than you two Sure you go on to college now and when you fail, as you will, don’t think you can crawl back to me to take care of you

Claire pulled Jason’s pillow against her chest and wept She cried for herself for probably the first time ever She cried for the years of torment and abuse at the hands of a man who should have never been a husband or a father She cried for the loss of her sister who never had a chance to spread her wings and for her mother who stayed as if she deserved no better Lastly, she cried for the broken hopes and dreams she’d allowed herself to have about Jason

He seemed so different In the time she worked for hi she’d done for him He always treated everyone with respect, even when there was a problem She was blindsided by the side of hiined the whole thing; so great was her trust in him

Maybe she could even find soineered on her behalf, since she’d applied for it of her own free will Contacting Pa a wealthy new client over her if she ter that she could find no way around This reeked of so her father would have done Had her second occupation so e with someone who juant nor snobbish; quite the opposite actually

He took both of her hands in his as if to brace her, "Baby; it’s your mother; she’s been taken to the hospital"

"Wha…What? No, that can’t be right, she’s at home with Louise"

"I just talked to Suzy; Louise called her When she couldn’t reach you on your cell phone she had Suzy’s nuencies and she called her" As her hands started to shake, Jason gripped theht around now, if you can throw some clothes on, ill be out of here within five et you to her"

Still stunned, Claire looked at him almost in shock and asked, "What happened to her?"
