CHAPTER SEVEN
Brigitte scrubbed her face, rotating her head slowly back and forth along her shoulders to ease the tension she could feel there. She was exhausted, and there was still another three hours in the workday for her to get through. At times like this it’s kind of hard not to think that being with Dillon was not my best decision. But then she smiled, remembering just why it was that she was so exhausted.
She had gone to Dillon’s after work the evening before, ever since the night when they had been attacked by renegades from the Pride that Dillon wanted to join, they had spent more and more time together. Dillon was looking for a full-time job, and he told her—though he couldn’t show her—that he was in contact with members of his future Pride, getting to know them, Kieran in particular.
Dillon had dinner already made when Brigitte came over, but by that time, they managed somehow to make love for hours upon hours before exhaustion finally claimed them. When Brigitte’s alarm had gone off in the morning, she had been tempted by sheer fatigue to call in sick. Of all the reasons to be exhausted at work, she thought, a night of incredibly satisfying sex is a pretty good one.
Brigitte wondered if she should have another cup of coffee; she decided against it. She was in that state of fatigue where more caffeine wouldn’t make her any more alert—it would just make her jittery and cause her stomach to churn. Her phone buzzed, and Brigitte bit her bottom lip, hoping that it was Dillon, in spite of her previous, slightly bitter thoughts about him keeping her awake until nearly dawn. How’s my poor tired love? he texted, and Brigitte chuckled softly to herself.
Your poor, tired love is wishing she had gotten a few extra hours of sleep, she replied, glancing around the office. She wondered idly if she could somehow manage to leave an hour or so early and get a little sleep at home. Brigitte’s phone buzzed again and she shook off her abstracted stare to read the reply.
Let me come over tonight. I’ll draw you a bath, massage your poor, tired feet, feed you and get you off a couple of times so you can sleep deep. Brigitte laughed to herself again, shaking her head. She picked up her water bottle and took a long gulp from its contents, typing out her response. You didn’t let me sleep last night! How am I supposed to trust you to let me go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight? Brigitte put her phone aside, able to feel the lingering warmth in her cheeks, the visceral reaction her body had to any thought of Dillon at all.
Sometimes, Brigitte thought, her relationship with—and her reactions to—Dillon were so simple, so basic and so direct that she didn’t know how she could question his desire to be with her for the rest of their lives.
