CHAPTER TEN

I woke early, after a restless night. I'd spent hours thinking about what had happened and wondered what I could do to fix it. Problem was, it wasn't something I wanted to fix. I wanted Cohen in my bed every night. Wanted to feel his body against mine and bring him pleasure just as I had.

I made my way to the kitchen, ready to face whatever the fallout might be. Several times through the night, I'd thought about going to his room and talking about it, but I figured the way he left meant that he didn't want to discuss what happened.

I debated on calling Richard to come get me, or even taking one of Cohen's trucks, but I'd ran away last time and wasn't about to make the same mistake again. No, I would face this head on, and no matter what the fallout might be, I would deal with it. I could handle Cohen rejecting the sex, but I wasn't sure I could handle losing our friendship again.

"Morning." Cohen sat at the kitchen table. He still wore the sweats and shirt he'd been in the night before. He didn't look as if he slept any better than I had. He palmed a cup of coffee and nodded to the pot on the counter. "Coffee's hot."

"Thanks." I reached for a cup and filled it. I leaned against the counter, blowing over my cup.

"You hate me?"

"No." I stared at him shocked. "How could you think I would hate you?"

He shrugged. "The way I left you last night."

"I understand." I didn't really, but I didn't know what to say.

"I can't do this. I enjoyed what we did, what you did, but I can't…" He shook his head and stared out the window.

"That's okay. It happened. We both enjoyed it, now we move on. I'm not going to force anything on you that you're not comfortable with." I ignored the pain that surged through me at hearing him once again say he didn't want me.

"Can you?"

"I can."

"I know how you feel."

"I've felt that way about you for years, Cohen. I can handle it. I faced the fact that you weren't gay years ago. What happened last night was amazing, and I won't say I didn't enjoy it, but if you don't want anything more, then I can deal with that."

"I'm sorry."

I moved to the chair beside him. "Don't be. It happened. We can't undo it. We go on. Forget it happened."

He nodded and took a sip of his coffee.

"Do you want me to quit coming around?" I held my breath as I waited for the answer.

His head shot up. "No. I don't want that."

He looked so tired. I had no doubt that he'd spent most the night thinking about this. "Then let's just forget it okay. It happened, done, and over. We are mature enough to move on."

"I feel bad. I know you want more."

"Cohen, yes, I'm attracted to you, but I would never force you to be someone you're not. You are my best friend.
