Chapter 12

I decided to head to my house. The urge to go home with Thanos was undeniable, but I didn’t want to go there just yet. I'd barely acknowledged that I want more from him. If I started leaning on him too heavily, I would be jumping the gun. The last thing I wanted was to fall into the pattern I had with Dathan, where I relied on him to give my life meaning.

I was a grown woman with an entire life that I loved. My bookstore was everything to me and all mine. My kids loved me and were doing great so far in college. And my best friends were a huge part of my existence that I would never give up.

Balance was the key to happiness. It was hard to juggle a marriage, kids, establish a career, and make time for friends while maintaining a house when you’re young and just starting out.

I might have more wrinkles than I’d like and fifteen extra pounds, but I had a pretty steady balance. My bookstore was established, my kids were on their own for the most part, and I had plenty of time for my friends and a relationship.

Thanos chuckled. “No, but you have a stunning smile. I’m a phone call away should you need anything. I’ll be back first thing in the morning to take you to your bookstore.”

“You don’t have to do that. I can walk from here. It’s not that far.”

He got out and held his hand out to me when I barely had one leg out of the vehicle. “I know you can walk, but I’d like to help. I’m not trying to take over your life or diminish your ability to do it all by yourself. I just want to be around you, and if all you have time for is to allow me to take you to and from work, I’ll take it.”

“We never talked about us after we had sex. Is it awkward for you now?”

Thanos put his hands on my hips and tugged me closer to him. “I know you didn’t want to move that fast. And, I
