Chapter Nineteen

When the door closes behind Ethan, I give it a few seconds, then slide down to the floor. I am so damned screwed because I’m in love with that man. I’m even more screwed because I’m almost positive he’s in love with me, too, except he’d rather have every bone in his body crushed before he’d admit it. My head between legs still sore from a vigorous fucking, I’m trying to breathe deeply and not hyperventilate. There is a whole lot of room for me to be wrong where Ethan Bishop and love are concerned. Except I feel it deep down in my bones. Ethan had looked annoyed when I was going to my room, not at all the way I thought he would react. Even his apology this morning along with that toe-curling kiss was unlike the Ethan I’ve grown to know.

Hadn’t I learned once that just because a man fucks you doesn’t mean he loves you? Only, there was so much more with Ethan, from the way he looked at me, to the way he refused to have a sex-only relationship when I was practically on my knees begging him. The man could have manipulated me into sex, sating his desire then kept me working happily. He was so damned good at manipulation, only he hadn’t done it. Then there was the sex, oh yes, one of the times could have been called fucking, but the others, no. They were making love with more than finesse, with actual love.

What pisses me off is a part of me had known I loved him, not the blinding love of complete enrapture, but the love of a woman who knew all the faults and foibles of the man. I’m pretty sure it’s the reason I couldn’t give up on him. I told him, and Amelia, I didn’t see prams with him and I don’t. I can’t picture a real relationship, because Ethan isn’t built for it. Yet, I do want those things, children, marriage, a backyard with a dog running around only no matter how badly I try I can’t see Ethan there among it all.

My throat tightens and my vision blurs. No, pushing off the floor, I shake my head. It doesn’t matter if I’m hurt at the end, the time I’ll have with Ethan will be enough for me. Whether it was only last night, or a few days or a week, it will have to be. Whatever he’s willing to give me, I’ll take. I’ve made this situation, there’s no complaining now.

Refusing to think about tomorrow, I focus on today, and today I need to clean. Changing the sheets, I put on one of the three other pairs of black sheets and I pitch everything into the lone laundry basket before putting in a load to wash.

As I’m vacuuming, the phone rings. It’s Ethan’s ring tone. “Yes, lord and master Bishop.”

“Hmm... I like that, maybe I’ll have you use that title from now on.”

“You can dream. Everyone should have something to strive for, without a goal one becomes complacent.
