SASHA

After leaving Missy’s, I came home and unloaded my groceries in the kitchen. The first thing I did was put the ice cream in the freezer and wine in the wine chiller. Ben wanted to go on a date? I was still trying to get my mind around that. The thought had awoken the butterflies. What would a date with Ben Hunt be like? Where would be go? There were so many questions. I rushed upstairs, determined to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t watch the clock. I changed my bedding, rearranged my perfume shelf, and cleaned my home office. When I’d done all I could, I decided a face mask and late afternoon bath were exactly what I needed. As my body succumbed to the bubbles and hot water, I closed my eyes and felt the tension begin to rise from my body. As relaxation washed over me, my mind took me to a place I tried desperately to avoid. A place where my mother’s decisions didn’t affect my decisions. Where I fell in love, gave my whole heart to a man, and began a life without fear of abandonment. Where a house, kids, and a happily-ever-after was the dream I could strive for. Where a man like Ben could be my everything, and a man like him could have all that I am.

At the thought of a future with Ben, I submerged myself in the water and held my breath. When my lungs screamed at me, I came to the surface and gasped for breath. It had been something I’d done since I was younger, because it reminded me that even when I didn’t think my heart was beating, my need to breathe reminded me that I was alive.

As the water began to chill, I stepped out the bath and wrapped a towel around my body. My phone chimed with a text message, and I quickly grabbed it and swiped across the screen.

BEN: I’ll bring Mexican food to you. I’ll be there within the hour. Date night is happening Sunday.

I couldn’t help but smirk. Even his text messages were bossy.

SASHA: So bossy.

BEN: I hear you like it.

SASHA: Its questionable.

BEN: That fucking mouth of yours kills me.

Grinning, I placed my phone on the vanity, lathered up with moisturizer, and started doing a minimal routine for the night. I kept my face make up free, but dried my hair and left it to fall over my shoulders. After spritzing myself with my favorite perfume, I entered my bedroom and looked at my cupboard. What do you wear to a ‘its-not-a-date-but-possibly-having-sex-with-a-man-who-has-already-seen-you-naked dinner? This was too damn hard. I decided on dark skinny jeans that hugged my butt, a tight off-white cami, and a baby pink cardigan that skimmed my knees. It was a casual, cute, and comfy outfit. Perfect for dinner with a man who was bringing my favorite food to my house, and had told me he’d be having me as dessert.
