Chapter 36: Dissatisfaction


    Phoebe walked the gardens, derp in thought. How damaged could Jason be that he had been resisting


    every means to get healed because only when he was truely healed would he allow himself to feel

    again. He acts like an Iceman. Someone who can give room for passion but not for love or any such


    feelings for the opposite sex.


    How could he dampen her mood by asking such a clueless question.


    Steven was not really a bad person and out of all the people she was seeing at the moment, he


    seemed more serious than the rest but she did not want to settle for less when she could have the


    best. She was tired of having to make do. It was time for her to have things in abundance and she


    could only get that when she became thedy of the manor not the truffle these men give to her. And


    even then she had had to make her demands in such a way that it didn''t seem like she was trading her


    favours for the financial gain she could get from them. It was really frustrating.


    Her time with Richard had thought her not to be the fool for any man ever again and though she was


    anxious to be married, she wanted to get the bes


    t deal out of it that she possibly could.


    She was seething. She didn''t like losing. She knew the humiliation and hurt she had had to experience


    with Richard. She was not going to allow herself get hurt or used by any man again. She would rather


    use them for her own needs. Afterall the end justifies the means, ording to her new resolution.


    She was still derp in thought when strong arms went round her from behind.


    She was shocked at first as she stifled. Then she rxed as she recognised the smell of his aftershave


    and of his body.


    She was determined not to give in easily though. It was time Jason started valuing her. She was done


    being taken for granted.


    ''Phoebe, I have apologised. I sincerely do not know what I did wrong but whatever it was, let''s forget


    about it. Truce?''


    ''We may not have amitment based rtionship but that does not mean we should not respect the


    feelings of others, you know. Here I was getting myself ready for you and all you could think to bring up


    was my affair with another man? That question you asked may not sound offensive to you but it did to


    me because the timing was totally off. You ruined my mood, you know''. She pouted.


    ''Sorry. Thank goodness it was just that. I had started thinking that it was something more serious than


    that''. Jason said heaving a sigh of relief.


    Phoebe silently thanked her stars that she had been able to divert his attention. She didn''t want him


    being on his guard until she had sessfully achieved her goal.


    If he even as much as suspected her dissatisfaction with their affair, she wouldn''t put it past him to call


    it quits immediately. So, it was necessary for him to keep thinking that she had noints


    concerning the nature of their affair her n to seed.


    ''Something serious? Like what?'' she asked.


    ''I felt that you may be having some emotional issues with Steven and I was going to ask if it would help


    of I spoke to him.I wanted to make sure I got you back together if that was what was bothering you of


    course''.


    Phoebe cursed this clueless man.


    ''Steve and I have an agreement, much the same way I have with you. So, there is no such problem. If


    either of us got tired of the rtionship, we would just part as friends'', she lied through her teeth. She


    knew that she was the one who had not shown seriousness. If she showed moremitment, she was


    sure Steve would propose the next instance but that was not her goal.


    ''I was going to suggest we parted ways if it would help but ...''


    ''No that is not necessary'', she said too quickly. Jason looked at her surprise causing her to be


    defensive.


    ''I mean, Steve would read the wrong meaning to it of you did. We are not having problems. We are just


    fine. I just exined to you, the reason for my reaction and I wonder if we are going to keep talking


    about this issue till the break of dawn?''


    Jason smiled and pulled her into his arms. He felt that there was no longer any need feeling awkward


    about being with her since she was not having a serious rtionship with Steven as he had thought


    previously.


    She fell into his arms and he stroked her breasts for a while as they remained in that position. She felt


    his manhood swell and start throbbing and she moaned softly.


    He expertly turned her round to face him and imed her lips. Her response was fervent, on the verge


    of desperate but Jason did not think along those lines. He just felt that she was in a hurry to get down


    to business just as he was.


    He pulled the cape off her and without bothering to remove the short and transparent night gown, he


    pulled it up as hey her in the grass and took her with an urgency he felt was mutual.


    Afterwards, they stared at the stars for a while and because he started feeling sleepy, he pulled her up,


    so they could go in.


    They went back inside though Phoebe would have loved it if they had remained there. For a moment


    there, she had thought that they had a connection and she had wanted that moment to linger so that


    they could form a bond but he obviously didn''t feel the same way and she did not want to sound or act


    clingy, so she had swallowed her protest and gone in with him where he had fallen into a derp sleep,


    whole she stared at the ceiling, wondering how she got there and how she was ever going to achieve


    her goal.
