At last, she thought bitterly, after eight months of dating, they'd climaxed together. How much longer would she have to wait till Craig thought it was okay to get married and fuck? She knew she couldn't wait much longer. She needed a normal sex life. But where was she going to find another man?
Her thoughts were interrupted as Craig stood up and straightened his clothes. "We went a lot farther than I intended to, Jodie," he said. "Things are getting out of control. I think we ought to cool it for a while and not see each other."
Jodie's self-control snapped, and she burst out angrily, "Okay, Craig, that's just fine with me. I'll have my son for company, anyway."
CHAPTER TWO
Jodie hadn't actually thought much about her son that evening, but there was nothing strange about that. Dane hadn't been part of her life for many years.
Jodie had been married very young, and she'd gradually realized that it was a mistake. Her husband Larry was a nice enough guy, but they had little in common, and they seemed to want totally different things out of life. When their son Dane was still in grade school, Jodie had made the decision to end her marriage.
She'd been only a teenager when she married, not even out of high school, so if she was going to be single and support herself, she had to get an education. Larry consented to take Dane, raise him and support him, while Jodie went to college and got her teaching credentials. They agreed that when she was financially able to take care of Dane, she'd get custody of him.
Now, having been on her first job for one full term and having saved all the money she could, she was ready to take her son back into her life.
Dane was flying in from California the next day. Jodie had scheduled it for him to arrive when her summer vacation started. That would give them three months to get reacquainted. She was pretty nervous about meeting the boy. They'd been apart for so long, they were almost like strangers.
