Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Jackson gently cradled her face, a playful grin spreading across his lips as he brushed a soft kiss at the corner of hers. "Fiona, just hang in there a bit longer."

Hang in there a bit longer?

Fiona was instantly thrown off by that. Who waits around in a situation like this?

She was at a loss. Fiona had always been pretty green when it came to this stuff, and now Jackson's request for patience was spinning her mind in all sorts of directions.

Could it be that Jackson really had...issues?

"Can you really hold out, Jackson?" Fiona teased, tilting his chin with a flirty grin as she leaned in closer. "But Jackson, holding back like this must be tough on you."

Jackson's face was all frustration, but he stayed firm, showing no signs of giving in. He kept his cool and said, "It's alright, I can manage."

Fiona was nearly grinding her teeth in frustration. She hadn't expected Jackson to actually tough it out like this.

Could he really have a problem?

Fiona wasn't about to let that stop her; she was determined to have Jackson all to herself tonight.
