A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 924

Zoe suddenly remembered that she had to do her makeup, and she quickly said, "I need to get my makeup then, and we're already running late. Let me go…"

"Zoe," Jay said, tightening his arms around her and showing no inclination to release her.

"Jay," she growled in annoyance.

Forget being groggy just now—he was now clearly wide awake, but he was still not letting her go?!

Suddenly, Jay leaned close to Zoe's eyes and whispered, "Actually, I think I…"

His voice was very soft, and it was definitely just the two of them who could hear it.

Zoe's face blushed right then, suddenly feeling awkward.

"I didn't expect this to happen," Jay finished apologetically.

Zoe had no idea what she should say just then.

She could not tell him that it was weird, since it was arguably his body functioning as intended and not his fault.

And yet, she could not tell him that it was natural either—he was a grown man, not some pubescent kid!

"Just let me go for now," she said while keeping herself calm.

She was an adult, and she more or less had her experience on certain matters.

Jay eventually released her, feeling a little hollow without her in his arms.

Zoe got out of bed, then got him a pair of boxers and a bathrobe. "Would this do?"

"Thanks."

"Then I'm heading out."

"Yeah."

Zoe left—still blushing when she did.

That should not have happened at all, given Jay's age!
