Chapter 11

Hallie lay across Asa’s bed, still trying to catch her breath, her underwear hanging off her ankle. There just hadn’t been time to totally remove them. Asa had pulled her into a kiss as soon as she walked through the door and the next thing she knew they were pulling their clothes off and making frenzied love on top of his gray comforter.

“We were supposed to be going out to dinner,” she said to him.

He grabbed her hand and laced his fingers through hers. “We can still go.”

“No... I don’t think I can walk. You’ve broken me.”

He rolled over on to his side and grinned down at her. “You don’t look broken to me.” He kissed her shoulder as he smoothed his hand up her torso. “You look pretty damn amazing to me.”

“Oh, don’t look so proud of yourself.”

“Did I get carried away? I missed you. I can’t seem to control myself.”

“You’re every woman’s biggest nightmare. You’re fantastic in bed. You want to spend time with me and you say the nicest things. You’re just terrible, Asa.” She lifted her head and kissed him. “You didn’t get carried away. I was there right along with you.”

It was mid-December, three weeks into their relationship, and it still felt unreal to her. She slept with him every night that he was home. When she got off work she went straight to his apartment, bypassing hers because sleeping without him by her side just didn’t seem right anymore. Whatever they had was intense and almost all-consuming. She was thirty years old. She didn’t think this kind of hot and heavy fireworks existed, but she couldn’t be near Asa without touching him and she was afraid that it was becoming too much. She had tried to put a little space between them, return back to her apartment at night, sleep alone. Give them both time to think, but Asa wouldn’t allow that. There were days he worked double shifts and overnights, when it was impossible for them to be with each other. She missed him then, like she was missing a piece of her body. When he was home he was with her and she loved every moment of it, but they were moving so fast.

Things had started off well with Brent, too. There was a time when she had been really happy, when he wanted to spend a lot of time with her. She’d been so in love she hadn’t seen the signs that had been there early on.

She wasn’t sure what Asa was thinking. Whether he saw them as something that could get serious or if this was a little short-term fun for him. She was afraid to ask him. Afraid to bring it up because she didn’t know if she wanted to hear the answer.

“I’m leaving to go home soon.”

“Sleep here tonight,” he said, kissing down her throat. “I was dealing with alcohol poisoning when I wanted to be in this bed with you.”

“I am sleeping here tonight. You still have to feed me dinner.
