*****

Grace wandered alone, desperate and miserable around her tiny home. What the hell had happened? Before the planned trip to California, and the abbreviated time in Vancouver, there had been a few difficult nights, but the last one was different. She had to admit it had frightened her a bit; but it had terrified Adam.

Reality was now facing her, and biting her hard enough to draw blood. How did she, how could she fit into Adam’s world? A terrible world, punctuated by his post-traumatic stress, and his nightmares. And now, he had driven her away; asked her to leave. She couldn’t stand it.

Grace stretched in pain, tears blurring her vision and dripping down her cheeks; her lover had left her, holding her life in his hands.

She poured a glass of white wine she really needed, returned to her bedroom, and looked at the champagne negligée she didn’t have the chance to wear in Vancouver. She had hung it on the closet door to let the wrinkles fall out. Remembering the day she had packed the silky thing, she doubled over with a sudden, sharp physical craving, spilling some of the wine.

I’m not going to make it, she thought. I want him, want him now. Now. Oh, God, now.

Grace sank to the floor, gulped some of the remaining wine in her glass, and tried to figure out what to do. Try to sleep? Read a book?

No. I can’t.

Unable to help herself, despite his rejection of her, Grace reached over to the bedside table, plucked the phone off its stand, and dialled Adam’s number. She wondered if he’d be home, or at least on his line.

What was she going to say? She nearly hung up.

A big voice answered.

“Grace. Are you all right?” it asked, anxiously.

“No. Adam, can you come to me? Adam, I’m . . . I miss you.”

I’m dying for you to touch me. To be with me. Grace barely managed to hold the thought back. She couldn’t say it, knew she couldn’t go that far, couldn’t stand a further rejection at his hands.

Grace couldn’t see Adam close his eyes, open them and look heavenward.

“Don’t move. I’m coming now.” That was all he said, and hung up.

Ten minutes later, Adam was hammering on the door. Grace opened it, clad only in champagne silk and lace, and backed up into the kitchen, eyes wide.

“I’m sorry if . . . I know, you asked me to leave, but I . . . ”

“Sh,” said Adam, advancing, his eyes roving over Grace quivering in a slippery wisp of a garment.

Her nipples were red, erect, poking through the lace of the bodice. Adam, stunned, was instantly beside himself. He cupped her breasts with his hands, rasped the lace against her nipples with his thumbs and opened her lips with his, plunging his tongue into her mouth.

He finally released her, tried to catch his breath.

“Desire is getting the better of me, Grace,” he said, staring into her eyes. “Do you hear me?”

Grace heard. Holding his gaze, she nodded.
