CHARLOTTE

I shut the door with a bang that I can barely hear over the loud crashing waves, and curl into bed, throwing the blanket over my body. A silly part of me hopes that he will come after me, but that hope is shattered after several minutes pass and I’m all alone in the room.

I bury my face in the fluffy pillow, willing myself not to cry and to think about anything else. But that obviously doesn’t work because the tears start to flow in no time and all I can think about is Chris' mouth on mine one minute and him rejecting me the next.

“I can’t do this.”

Those four words keep getting replayed over and over in my head until my silent tears turn into loud racking sobs. Eventually, the crying stops and I will myself to sleep but it’s clear the universe is sorely against me because sleep evades me.

A lot of things contribute to my inability to fall sleep… the raging storm threatening to tear the boat apart, the raw humiliation from being rejected by Christopher Young, and my mind continually replaying the ecstatic sensation that enveloped me each time his finger so much as grazed my skin.

You would think after being rejected by the man I am insanely attracted to, my heart would get the memo and stop beating so fast. Even my brain struggles between what is rational and what isn’t.

We had been so close to taking things further and I had sensed his control slipping by the second. He had wanted me, that much I knew. I could tell from his ragged breathing, the way his hold tightened on my waist, and the way he kissed me so fervently with need, rendering me totally senseless in the heat of the moment.

In my twenty-four years of existence, I have never felt anything like it before. Not even with the men I once fancied myself in love with.

Everything about Chris is overwhelming. Like this storm that completely sweeps everything in its path away, he sweeps me off my feet just by looking at me.

The frustration of being left high and dry eats at me until I’m tossing and turning in the bed for the rest of the night. For a brief moment, I contemplate going to find him to demand an explanation for why he stopped, but my pride gets in the way.

Instead, I stare into space wondering what the reason could be. Just like me, he had been ready to give in to his desires and let the whirlwind of passion take over. But he stopped at the very last minute and I saw something in his eyes.

I had been too embarrassed and angry to decipher what those emotions were but I caught one of regret right before I ran from him.

Thomas Knight’s words replay in my head again, triggering my insecurities. “He never really keeps the likes of you around for long.”

Perhaps Thomas was right. I have no business desiring a man like Chris anyway, not when he could have whatever woman he wants.
