Eye Candy - chapter 29 - Compromise

He searches my eyes, confusion and hurt in his. Kissing him quickly, I hurry to rectify his misconception.

"I don't want you to have to quit – not for me. Don't give up what you enjoy doing, what you need to do for..."

He shakes his head, interrupting me. "I don't need a job, Jasper. I'm okay without one."

His lips find mine again and, for a moment, I forget our conversation. He breaks away, whispering, "I do need you..."

I stare at him for a minute, then nod.

"Okay... we try. But nothing changes at work. We keep things professional."
