was it.
    Jason kept moving into her as Veronica boiled over inside. She cried out loud, penetrating the silence of the night, and Jason's hand immediately flew up to cover her mouth. She screamed through his fingers instead, her cries muffled by his hand. Her entire body felt like it was exploding, every nerve ending heightened to its extreme. Jason didn't stop moving, his hardness filling her up with every thrust.
    Then, as if on cue, he let out a guttural sound, a cross between a cry and a growl, as she felt him shudder as he released himself into her. Veronica's pleasure rose again as she felt him hold to her tightly, his hands pulling her closer, his hips pushing up against her with strong, passionate thrusts.
    As the two began to slow down they breathed deeply of the cold air surrounding them. Veronica felt Jason still hard inside of her, his pulse keeping her nerve endings alive. He slowly lowered his hand from her mouth and she could breathe more properly. He took himself out of her and she felt his warmth remain in her, a strange new addition to her body.
    She turned around inside of his arms, their eyes locking together again. Putting his arms around her back, Jason pulled her close and their lips met once more, their bodies pressed tightly together, both of them being kept warm in each other's embrace.

    "Hey, what time is it?" Veronica asked.
    She and Jason were sitting side by side on the edge of the grating, their legs dangling over, themselves protected from falling by the bar of metal across their chests. They were long since dressed, Veronica with her coat back on, Jason with his jacket. He pulled the sleeve back and looked at the watch on his wrist.
    "Just past midnight," he told her.
    "Oh wow, I had no idea it was that late," she said, getting up. "I need to get back, Greg might be getting home soon."
    Jason got up as well, the two of them straightening their clothing. They walked to the door and Jason opened it for her. He followed her through and shut it behind them, making sure it was closed tight. They descended the staircase and headed for the door leading outside, Jason flicking off the light as they passed it. Once outside he pulled out the roll of cloth and re-locked the door.
    "Beautiful," he said when it was done, putting the tools back in his pocket. Jason walked her to her car, the two of them stopping beside it and turning to face one another.
    "Well, this was fun," Veronica said, the words sounding immediately lame the moment they left her mouth. She saw the ghost of a smile appear on Jason's lips.
    "Yeah, it was," he said.
    He looked at her and she didn't know what to say. They had just talked together for hours, sitting up there in the water tower side by side. But now Veronica's mouth felt stuck, like he was a complete stranger all over again and she had no idea what he was thinking.
    "I ... I guess I'll see you at the next meeting," she finally managed to get out. A look crossed over Jason's face that she couldn't quite discern, but it disappeared before she had a chance to figure it out.
    "Yeah," he said, "I'll see you there."
    And without another word he turned and walked toward his car. Veronica watched his retreating back, wanting to call him back, to at least give him one last kiss before this whole thing went away. But she didn't. Instead she saw him get into his car, the head lights blaring as the engine roared to life. She squinted in the brightness and he did a U-turn, driving quickly away and leaving her alone.
    Silent and morose, Veronica got into her car and turned the key in the ignition. Her own car came to life, illuminating the scene in front of her, showing her nothing. She put the car into gear and did a U-turn as well, driving back to her home.

    Veronica turned into the driveway and saw Greg's car already there. A wave of panic ran through her. She looked at the clock. 12:32. Whenever he went out with his friends he would wake her up by stumbling into
