freezer for a few minutes.” She suggested.
    “Aha!  Nice idea!”  He placed the bottle into the freezer, got two glasses out of the cupboard, and readied himself to begin to cook.
    In the office, Jason was efficient and pushy.  He drove his team hard and always seemed on the edge.  Here, however, he was extremely relaxed and very funny.  This was a side of him that Jackie had never seen before, and she like d very much.
    Soon, the smell of browning onions filled the air.  Jackie got off of her stool , to check the white wine in the freezer.   It was still a little warm so she closed the door, and went back to watching Jason.   He truly could cook, and she was impressed.  She sighed wondering what was happening to her.  The more time she spent with him, the more she liked him.  She prayed that she wasn’t falling in love.  She didn’t want to have to deal with an awkward office love affair, or have to find another job if it failed. 
    As the water for the pasta started to boil, Jackie retrieved the bottle of wine from the freezer.
    “Do you have a bottle opener?” She asked him.
    He nodded, “In the drawer next to the sink.”
    Jackie poured them both a glass of cold wine.
    “Hmm…” She murmured as she sipped.
    “Nice?”
    “Very.  I think it ’ s better that cold.”
    Jason took a sip from his own glass.  “You’re right.  I love Californian wine.”
    “Oh yes, new world wines are very fresh.”
    “I agree.  I can’t seem to enjoy a European wine so much anymore.   Do you like lots of garlic in your Bolognese sauce?”
    Jackie giggled.  Garlic for a romantic evening? Oh well, she thought, at least he’ll have garlic breath too .  “Yes, I love garlic.”
    Jackie watched as Jason continued to cook their dinner.  He certainly was good in the kitchen.  She was impressed.  The wine was relaxing her and putting her in an amorous mood once again.  Jason picked up his wine glass, drank from it, and stared at her.
    “You know, you’re so beautiful Jackie.”
    Jackie hesitated.  She fought the urge to blush and decided to make a move.  They were in his apartment after all.  She rose from the stool and walked around the breakfast bar and up to Jason.
    “Really?”
    Without taking his eyes from hers, he placed his glass back on the counter.  “Really.”  He stepped forward, and Jackie held her breath.  Jason moved her hair away from her eyes.  “You have beautiful eyes too.”  He traced the contour s of her face with his fingers and slow ly bent his head towards hers.  With barely millimetres between them, he hesitated, and the look of need he gave her took her breath away.
    Jason closed the gap between them as his lips touched hers.  The fire was ignited; Jackie pressed herself against him and moaned as he slipped his tongue into her mouth.   She hadn’t thought that he was the athletic type , but she was pleased to feel his taut, strong muscles as she ran her hands over his body.
    Jason’s hands were as strong as his body, and he held her tightly as his tongue sparred with hers sending bolts of electricity though them.  Their breathing came hard and heavy.  Their hands took on a life of their own as their desire increased.  His hands felt so good on her body.  He ran them down her back and cupped her buttocks.  Jackie moaned with pleasure.  With one hand, he held her firmly by one buttock, and the other traced its way back up and round to her breast.  Jackie broke away from the kiss momentarily and moaned with pleasure.  Jason smiled and pulled her back into the embrace.  The fire was building , and Jackie knew she was near the point of no return, she wanted to tear his clothes off and make love to him right there in the kitchen .  She needed him desperately, and as he pressed himself against her, she knew he needed her just as much .
    Jason pulled away from her, and Jackie felt disappointed , only to smile moments later when she realised what he was doing.
