Jeffrey blinked in disbelief, realizing he had just uttered the words he wished he could take back, "Want what? Do you need another run to the grocery store?"
Karen shot him an annoyed glance, clearly on the brink of walking out.
Luckily, Jeff's reflexes kicked in as he grabbed her wrist, "Hold on, can you clarify? How can I play along if I don’t know what you're on about? What's got your feathers all ruffled now?"
"Let go of me! I don't need this—I'm going to bed!"
The word 'bed' struck Jeffrey like lightning, and he suddenly grasped what her question meant.
What kind of nonsensical reply had he blurted out?
"Karen, you—"
"Let. Go!" Karen was past the point of wanting to converse with him. She wished he'd just vanish!
"Wait, just hold on! Damn it, I just got it!"
With a firm tug, Jeffrey reeled Karen back into his arms, trapping her between his chest and the wall.
His masculine scent mingled with his breath, tinged with a hint of tobacco, enveloping them both.
Their bodies were tangled and inextricable.
They locked eyes, staring at each other for an eternity.
He licked his lower lip, his voice tight with urgency, "Alright. Let's do it."
Karen grimaced, "But now I don't want to."
"Are you playing games with me?"
"Nope, I was up for it a minute ago, now I'm not. How's that playing games?"
Jeffrey always lost these verbal spats. He moved his lips, struggling to find the words to argue back, but nothing came out.
"I don't care, you asked me and now I'm ready!"
"Jeffrey, you—mmph!" Her words were swallowed by his sudden kiss.
In his haste, Jeffrey knocked into Karen's teeth, a pang of pain making her nose twitch. But before she could curse, her lips were already claimed.
He kissed her, fumbling with the bedroom door, then lifted her off her feet and tossed her onto the bed.
Jeffrey, fighting the discomfort, reached for his keys to leave, but Karen quickly grabbed him.
"I have it in my purse"
"What?"
"I bought them at the grocery store just now."
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes, "Feels like I've walked into a trap, doesn't it?"
Karen couldn't help but laugh at his comment, "If you think it's a trap, then don't touch me."
"Trap or not, even if it's a black hole, I can't resist tonight!"
Sure enough, Jeffrey found a small box in her purse, labeled: Ultra Thin, 3-Pack.
He frowned, "You only got one box?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, you better hope it's enough."
