Sinclair

Danielle and I met Eric and Joel for dinner and drinks at their restaurant. Aine was spending the night with Riley. I still hadn't told her about her father. The very thought of telling her about him and having both hate me killed me.

It was who I was though. I destroyed all I touched and ruined everything I loved. I was broken. That's why I stayed away from relationships. That's why I walked away from the ones I loved all those years ago.

That's why I left and didn't tell Kai about Aine. I wish he understood.

Joel said something to make Danielle laugh and pull me out of my own head. Poor Eric, I was not here with him at all. We were having a private dinner in Eric's office. A beautiful dining table with black satin-covered chairs had been brought in for the four of us. We planned a work dinner for tonight, but it was obviously anything but.

Eric talked to us about some new advertising ideas he had to boost traffic in the bar. The restaurant was successful, but he wanted to make the bar a hot spot for young people looking for a weekend spot.

I barely listened though. I thought about what it would be like to be naked spread out on this table, Kai between my legs feasting on my earthly delights. The velvet curtain was open but rather than the room hidden behind the glass, I would be on full display for the patrons below to witness my sacrifice.

What was wrong with me? I'm here, with a great guy and I couldn't stop thinking about Kai.

Sure, Eric wasn't as skilled in bed as Kai, but that could have been first-time jitters, or maybe me and my broken self who can't be satisfied by anything that won't hurt me or the ones I love.

"Sin, are you okay?" Danielle's voice broke through my fantasy. I had been staring off into space, gnawing on my bottom lip.

"Yeah, sorry. I've just got some shit on my mind." I sipped at my wine. A bold Malbec made in the Mendoza region of Argentina. The food and drinks the brothers served reflected their experiences and adventures in South America. You could feel their love for the regions they visited through their appreciation for the food and drinks traditionally served throughout the continent.

"You sure, honey? You look like you're somewhere else right now." I hated how Danielle focused on me rather than enjoying herself. The girl never bothered with a real date let alone a second date.

"Yeah. I need some fresh air." I stood up and turned to Eric, "I'm so sorry Eric. Please, continue. I'll be back in a few minutes."

I didn't wait for him or anyone else to say anything, I walked out of the office with my purse in my hands. I ran down the stairs and out the back door at the end of the hall.

My head spun. Probably from the wine. Or the inappropriate fantasies I had about one man, in another man's office.
