You didn’t give it to him, did you?” Violet asked, her eyes wide with shock. Jay sat up too and grinned, and Violet was sure that he had. And then he shook his head. “Nah. I told her if she really wanted the answers, she’d have to give it to him herself.” Violet relaxed back into the couch. “Did she?” Jay shrugged. “I dunno. You never know with Chelsea.” He leaned forward, watching Violet closely as he ran his thumb down the side of her cheek. “Anyway,” he said, switching the subject, “I get off work at six tomorrow; maybe we can hook up after that.” He moved closer, grinning. “And you can tell me how much you missed me.” He kissed her, at first quickly. Then the kiss deepened, and she heard him groan. This time, when he pulled back, there was indecision in his eyes.

Nothing-and everything. Violet was amazed by what they’d done. Amazed that they’d shared themselves with each other, like that. It was wonderful, and beautiful, and not anything that Violet had expected it to be. The pain had been more intense than she could have imagined, and she’d done her best not to cry out. But, of course, Jay had noticed as her body tensed, and then she shuddered. Tears dampened her lashes, yet she’d refused to let them fall. Jay had insisted that they stop, but Violet wouldn’t let him. Instead they’d waited, with Jay holding her, stroking her hair, her shoulders, her face, until the pain subsided, becoming something… less. Later, when she was lying in his arms, she shuddered again. Jay hugged her tight. “What’s wrong? You’re not sorry, are you?” The tenderness of his words made her heart twist. “Of course not. How could I be sorry for that? ” He kissed her eyes, gently. “Then why are you shivering? I didn’t mean to hurt you, Vi.” She shook her head, clumsily bumping his chin. “I don’t know why.” She ran her fingertips over his arm, memorizing the feel of his coarse hairs, his skin, the muscles beneath it all. “It’s just…it’s a lot. You know?” Jay smiled. It was a satisfied smile. “Yeah.” He leaned back and pulled her to him, tucking her against his shoulder. “It was a lot. A really good lot.” She wanted to shove him, to banter, to play, but she was too exhausted. When Jay finally got up to leave, Violet leaned up on her elbow and watched as he buttoned his jeans. She wished they could stay like that-together-for longer. Forever. She already missed the feel of him beside her, and the scent of him around her. She sat up to give him back the T-shirt she was wearing. His lazy smile was far too beautiful to be real. “Keep it,” he insisted. “I like it better on you anyway.” The way he stared at her made her stomach flip. It was a look brimming with tenderness. They were a part of something more now; they belonged to each other. He tugged his hoodie over his bare chest, and then he leaned down to kiss her one last time, his lips lingering. His thumb traced the line of her cheek. “I love you, Violet Marie. I’ll always love you.” And then he left. And, once again, Violet slept deeply, soundly, wrapped in Jay’s shirt. He was the perfect remedy to all her worries.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kimberly Derting" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kimberly-derting/nothing-had-changed-in-that-moment-when-violet-and-jay-had-finally/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/798/kimberly-derting-2436_gaze_nothing-had-changed-in-that-moment-when_2300053.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/798/kimberly-derting-2436_gaze_nothing-had-changed-in-that-moment-when_2300053.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/798/kimberly-derting-2436_gaze_nothing-had-changed-in-that-moment-when_2300053.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Nothing had changed in that moment when Violet and Jay had finally decided to have sex.

He groaned and pulled her closer, making room for her as the kiss deepened. She’d wanted to be in control but had too quickly lost the upper hand. Her breathing became uneven, and she pressed herself against him, squirming to get coser. The warmth between them spread through her like a fever, making her restless and impatient. He stopped her then, before there was no going back, drawing his face away to create the most microscopic fissure between them. “You taste like tacos.” Violet gasped as she tried to catch her breath. “What?” She blinked, trying to gather her thoughts. “Really, Jay? Is that a complaint or something?” He shook his head. “Of course not.” “Good. Because this is: I hate it when you stop like that. ” She pushed herself away from him and sat upright, crossing her arms in front of her. “Come on, Violet, that’s not what I meant.” The dazed look in his eyes only made Violet feel slightly better. She was glad he was at least a little bit bothered. “It’s just that I wanted to talk to you…you know, before we got distracted. ” “God, I really am the guy,” she glowered, but her shoulders slumped. He hauled her toward him, dragging her into his arms. “Stop it. You are not the guy.” He kissed her on the mouth, ignoring the fact that she wasn’t kissing back. But as annoyed as she was, it was hard to stay mad. Especially here…now. It truly was magical. So when he pulled out the Oreos and dangled them in front of her-a peace offering-she shook her head and sighed. “You’re impossible.” But there was no real fight in her words, and she couldn’t stop her lips from twitching when he grinned down at her. He took her reluctant smile as surrender and settled back, bringing her with him until they were curled up against each other.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kimberly Derting" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kimberly-derting/is-everything-okay-vi-she-swallowed-setting-the-rest-down-it-s/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/80c/kimberly-derting-2436_gaze_is-everything-okay-vi-she-swallowed-sett_3136296.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/80c/kimberly-derting-2436_gaze_is-everything-okay-vi-she-swallowed-sett_3136296.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/80c/kimberly-derting-2436_gaze_is-everything-okay-vi-she-swallowed-sett_3136296.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Is everything okay, Vi?” She swallowed, setting the rest down. “It’s perfect…” She wrapped her blanket…” — Kimberly Derting", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 9, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“She had several books she'd been wanting to read, but instead she sprawled out on the couch surrounded by pillows and blankets, and spent the hours flipping channels between Judge Judy, The People's Court, Maury, and Jerry Springer, and rounded out her afternoon with Dr. Phil and Oprah. All in all, it was a complete waste of a day. At least until school got out. Jay showed up after school with a bouquet of flowers and an armful of DVDs, although Violet couldn't have card less about either... he was all she wanted. She couldn't help the electric thrill of excitement she felt when he came strolling in, grinning at her foolishly as if he hadn't seen her in weeks rather than hours. He scooped her up from the couch and dropped her onto his lap as he sat down where she had been just a moment before.

She smiled while she kissed him back, loving the topsy-turvy feeling that her stomach always got when he was so close to her. She wound her arms around his neck, forgetting that she was in the middle of the family room and not hidden away in the privacy of her bedroom.

She barely heard his words but rather concentrated on the fluid masculinity of his tone. \"I feel like I've waited too long to finally have you, and then yesterday...when...\" He stopped, seemingly at a loss, and then he tried another approach. His hand stroked her cheek, igniting a response from deep within her. \"I can't imagine living without you,\" he said, tenderly kissing her forehead, his warm breath fanning her brow. He paused thoughtfully for a moment before speaking again. \"I love you, Violet. More than I ever could have imagined. And I don't want to lose you...I can't lose you.\" It was her turn to look arrogant as she glanced up at him. \"I know,\" she stated smugly, shrugging her shoulder. He shoved her playfully but held on to her tightly so that she never really went anywhere. \"What do you mean, 'I know'?

She shook her head, pretending not to understand him. \"What? What do you want me to say?\" But then she giggled and ruined her baffled façade. He teased her with his mouth, leaning down to kiss her and then pulling away before his lips ever reached hers. He nuzzled her neck tantalizingly, only to stop once she responded. She wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to pull him closer, frustrated by his mocking ambush of her senses. \"Say it,\" he whispered, his breath warm against her neck. She groaned, wanting him to put her out of her misery. \"I love you too,\" she rasped as she clung to him. \"I love you so much...\" His mouth moved to cover hers in an exhausting kiss that left them broth breathless and craving more than they could have.

You feel like you can’t talk to me anymore? We haven’t changed; we’re still the same people.” She slipped her hands beneath the front of his shirt, slowly running her fingertips over his chest and back down to his waist. He turned in her arms and smiled, but his grin was filled with mocking suspicion. “Are you trying to distract me, Violet Ambrose?” “I guess you’re smarter than you look,” she teased as he pushed her backward so that they both fell on her bed. “And you are not as funny as you think you are.” His mouth hovered over hers, his arms tightening, crushing her against him. Violet giggled and tried to squirm free, but Jay wouldn’t let her. He kissed her throat, his lips teasing her until it wasn’t his grip that made it hard for Violet to breathe. “Oh, and Violet,” he whispered against her ear, his breath tickling her cheek, “I’m still your best friend. Don’t ever forget it.” His words were fervent and touching. Violet tried to think of a response that made sense, something appropriate, but all she could manage was: “ Please. Don’t stop.” She didn’t mind begging if it meant getting her way. Apparently that was enough to satisfy Jay, and he kissed her possessively. Thoroughly. Deeply. He eased her back until she was lying against the pillows, and she waited for him to stop, to tell her that they’d gone far enough for tonight. But she didn’t want him to. She wanted him to keep going. She wanted him to touch her, to kiss her, to explore her. Her body ached for it. She reached for him, clinging so tightly that her fingers hurt. Everything inside of her hurt. Jay settled over her, covering her with his body, reacting to her. Violet wrapped her legs around him, pulling his hip closer, telling him with her every movement that she wanted him , that she wanted this. Now. “Are you sure?” Jay asked into the warm breath between them, barely lifting his mouth from hers. She nodded, but when she tried to speak, her voice trembled. She hoped he didn’t read it wrong. “Of course I am.” She was nervous and terrified and thrilled all at the same time. He smiled against her mouth, still kissing her, and she melted into him, unable to stop her heart from thundering. He reached around for his wallet. “I have a condom.” His voice was rough. Violet smiled. She’d been waiting for this moment for far too long not to be prepared, but she was happy to hear that he’d been considering it seriously also. “Me too,” she told him, reaching into her nightstand drawer and pulling out a handful of them. “I knew you’d give in.” He groaned, his lips moving to her neck as he tugged at his shirt and pulled it over his head. Violet thought he was beautiful. He was right for her; he always had been. And as he slowly slid her shirt up, his fingertips stroking her bare skin and making goose bumps prickle in the wake of his touch, she wondered why it had taken them so long to get to this place.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kimberly Derting" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kimberly-derting/she-felt-him-relax-and-his-voice-softened-is-that-what-this-is-all/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9b8/kimberly-derting-2436_bare-skin_she-felt-him-relax-and-his-voice-softene_2805916.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9b8/kimberly-derting-2436_bare-skin_she-felt-him-relax-and-his-voice-softene_2805916.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9b8/kimberly-derting-2436_bare-skin_she-felt-him-relax-and-his-voice-softene_2805916.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“She felt him relax and his voice softened. “Is that what this is all about?
