CHAPTER 8

CATHERINE

“You’re killing me,” Blake says as he turns and lets his gaze fall over my body. I’m reclining in his bathtub, looking out over the city. I’ve been trying to think of ways to entice him to stay since I woke up. I think I might have found the right one. “How am I supposed to leave knowing you’re so beautiful and so naked?”

“You could always join me,” I offer. “I’m sure no one would even know you were missing. What’s the point of owning your own company if you can’t play hooky every once in a while?”

He tenses his jaw and grits his teeth. “When I get back…” he says.

“I’ll be fully clothed and uptown. I have some errands I have to run.”

He walks over to the tub and leans over me, hovering just far enough away that I can feel his breath but not his lips. “And I’ll have to do my best to change that.”

“Tease,” I say. I grab his tie and pull him the final few inches into the kiss. He doesn’t miss a beat, and he leans into my lips, sliding his tongue against mine as he braces himself against the edge of the tub. Warmth floods through my body, and I’m holding out hope that he’ll stay a while longer. When he pulls back from the kiss, I keep my grip on his tie. It’s dripping with water.

With a quick motion he pulls the tie off and hands it to me. “You are gorgeous. Let’s pick this up when I get back.”

“Like I said, I’ll be gone.”

“Tonight then. I’m not opposed to your place.”

In the past week, I’ve spent as many nights at Blake’s place as I have at mine, but I still haven’t invited him over. I’m being kicked out soon enough anyway. “We’ll see,” I say. I lean back in the tub and slide a little lower. If he’s not going to enjoy this bath with me, I can enjoy it well enough on my own.

After Blake’s gone and I’ve soaked for a while, I get dressed and decide to head back to my place. I’m not sure if I’ll spend the night with Blake, but either way, I need a change of clothes. It’s a beautiful day, and I decide a walk will help me clear my head. I grab a pair of Blake’s sunglasses before getting on the elevator. They’re thick rimmed and retro in a way that makes me look like a hipster, but I catch a glimpse of my reflection and like the way they look. I joke to myself that they’re my disguise and shove my hands in my pockets as I strike a dumb pose. The key. The copy is still in my pocket and suddenly I remember all of the doubts and worries I have. I wonder if Ben’s waiting for me once I get outside. Maybe I’ll need a disguise after all.

I decide to walk. It’s nice enough out, and, contrary to what I told Blake, I have nowhere to be.
