Chapter 12

“Good morning.” Emma’s voice broke through the deep sleep Ash was in. She was lying on her stomach, and turned over to see Emma standing next to the bed with a tray of food in front of her. “I popped out this morning and grabbed a few things. Hope it’s to your taste.”

Ash rubbed her eyes, and sat up. The blanket fell and reminded her she was naked. A rush of heat shot to her face as she recalled the night before, and the memory of Emma’s hands and mouth on her. She blushed. “I’m sure it’s fine.” She pushed herself up further on the bed.

“Eggs, toast, bacon and – ta-da! - coffee.” Emma smiled as she put the tray across Ash’s lap.

Ash grinned as Emma was clearly pleased. “You’re setting the bar pretty high here, Atman. Just so you know, toast and tea will be the extent of my culinary prowess when you sleep over.” There was a flash of uncertainty across Emma’s face, and Ash wondered if she was assuming too much about what last night meant.

“I have to go into work for a few hours, but don’t feel like you have to rush off.” Emma smiled as she headed toward the bathroom.

Ash felt a prickling at the back of her neck. The doctor’s tone didn’t feel right. “What’s wrong?” It was the first question that went through Ash’s mind, and it seemed the most direct.

Emma stopped and turned to face her. “I need to talk to you after you finish eating, and before I go to work.” Without another word, she went into the bathroom, and shut the door.

Ash put the piece of buttered toast she had just taken a bite of back on the sea glass colored plate, her appetite making a hasty retreat. Lifting the tray up, and placing it on the bed beside her, Ash slid out from under the warm blankets. After a few minutes, she managed to locate the shorts and Princeton t-shirt from last night. She picked up the tray, and made her way downstairs, determined not to be in the vulnerable position of naked and in Emma’s bed when they had their talk.

“There you are.” Emma was pinning her hair back in a bun as she walked into the kitchen. Frowning as she looked at the still full tray. “Not hungry?”

Ash steeled herself. The woman looked incredible. She was wearing a black, knee length, Prada skirt, and a slim fit cobalt blue silk blouse that accented her eyes so they seemed to glow. “I’ll eat a bit later. After the talk.” Ash slid onto one of the bar stools.

Emma ran her tongue across her bottom lip nervously. “Right.” She walked around the island and sat next to Ash. She laid her hand bag down next to her. “I haven’t been honest with you, and I - given the turn our relationship took yesterday, I need to tell you a few things.”

Ash swallowed hard. Her throat suddenly tight. She couldn’t imagine what the woman was going to tell her.
