Chapter fifty-seven:

Christy woke alone in bed. She blindly reached for Isaac but found his side of the bed empty. Yet, it was still slightly warm from his body heat.
She untangled and jerked a sheet off the bed and wrapped it around her body, fashioning a crude dress. She padded down the upstairs hallway towards the stairs and discovered Isaac seating in the small room he had set up his laptop in and intended to use as an office.

She snuck up behind him and slowly ran her hands down his bare chest seductively. She bent and cooed into his ear “Come back to bed…”

He chuckled. “What? Five times last night wasn’t enough?”
Christy circled his chair and slipped into his lap. “Yeah, but six is my lucky number.”

He laughed out-loud. “Okay. Just let me finish here…”

“What are you doing?” she asked curiously, glancing at the screen.
”I’m just emailing the owner of the studio to confirm that we’re booked there on Friday.”
”Sounds interesting.”

“It really isn’t. Its work related stuff. I won’t be too long.”

Christy nodded and slipped from his lap. “Hurry… I can always start without you…”

He laughed. “I won’t be that long.”
”Okay.” Christy left the room, and Isaac sighed, taking a sip from his mug of coffee.

He spell checked the email and left his name at the bottom before clicking send.

Isaac finished the last mouthful of coffee and stood from the chair and left the room, closing the door tightly behind him.

In the hall, he found the sheet Christy had been wearing draped over the railing.

He broke into a grin and briskly walked into the bedroom.

Luke woke to the feeling of Jenna slipping out of bed and leaving the room. He had every intention of sleeping in the same room as Zac the night before, but Jenna had talked him into climbing into her bed as they only had three days and two nights together. Luke had protested at first, but in the end his desire to spend as much time as possible with her before he had to leave won out.

He turned over onto his back, folding his arms beneath his head.
The door opened and Jenna came back into the room, slipping beneath the covers and moving in close to Luke.
He moved his left arm around her and pulled her closer.
Jenna smiled and nestled into his body at his side, resting her head on his chest. “You’re awake.”

“Yeah, I am.” He smiled and gently stroked her hair with the back of his knuckles.
”Did I wake you?”

“Not really.” He smiled.
”Good.” She smiled and reached up to kiss him.

Luke smiled when the kiss broke and leaned forward to kiss her again.

When Luke broke the kiss, Jenna pressed her lips to his again, deepening the kiss significantly. Her tongue found his in a fiery kiss, hungrily pulling at his lips with her own.
She climbed on top of him, straddling his body with her legs.
”Mmm… Jen… Jen… wait.” Luke broke the kiss. “We shouldn’t.” He swallowed hard.
Jenna drew in a deep breath and exhaled irritably. “Figures.” She mumbled, and moved off him. She moved over to her side of the bed, as far away as she could with her back to him. She pulled the blankets up over her shoulders.
”Oh, Jen come on…” Luke said, moving closer to her. “Please don’t be like that…”
Jenna didn’t respond.
“Jen, come on. Don’t be like this… we only have two more days together…” He gently touched her bare arm.
She pushed back the covers. “You’re right. Two days left together and you won’t even touch me.” She got out of bed and stormed from the room, slamming the door shut behind her.
