Chapter Sixteen

Gia

We haven’t spoken a word about what happened between us at the hotel room in Chambliss. Not a single word.

It’s maddening.

I mean, I know I have more important things to be worried about. I literally have a list a mile long of things that need to be done, and I swear that list is growing by the day, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t stop thinking about him.

I do the dishes, and suddenly I’m imagining his tongue on my clit, demanding I tell him my fantasies.

I unload the laundry, and I’m daydreaming about his hand around my neck, my body pressed up against the wall, pulsing with need.

I was at the supermarket yesterday morning, and I picked up a cucumber, and dammit if I wasn’t immediately picturing Damien entering me, stretching me. Right there in the produce section, I was soaking my panties holding a damn cucumber.

I’m a mess.

What’s worse? I’m not even sure he remembers. His memories from that weekend are a scattered mess, even though he tries to pretend they aren’t. The doctor said he might get them back, but he might not.

What if he forgot? Every touch. Every kiss. They’re seared into my soul. I couldn’t forget if I wanted to. I don’t want to forget. Not yet anyway.

It’s not just about how good it felt to finally be with him. Or how hard the man made me come, over and over again. It’s about intimacy. It’s about finally feeling like we got it right after so many years of thinking that it was never going to happen for me…for us. I love him, and I am still holding on to the hope that there’s something there for him too.

What if I never get to feel that way again?

It took another week in the hospital before they felt like Damien was stable enough to return home, and even then, they required transport by ambulance to our local hospital, and then another night stay there to verify he was still, in fact, stable. Damien’s usual patient facade was slipping with every passing day. He’s frustrated, and he has every right to be.

Once we finally made it home, he was required to spend one more week on bed rest until he could resume what would be considered light-normal activity for most humans. Not super hockey humans.

It broke my heart to hear the doctor tell Damien that his hockey career was probably over. Something about the potential for restraining the artery and an increased risk for stroke.

That’s another thing we haven’t talked about yet. We’ve done an excellent job of avoiding all of the important topics.

Instead, we spent our time away watching game shows and Facetiming with Astria. I’m so thankful she won’t have memories of any of this. I think my dreams will forever be haunted by the sound of those sirens and the sight of Damien’s blood on the ice. So much blood.

Damien’s mother flew out to see him as soon as she heard the news.
