“Julian, wake up.”
My eyes opened and I stared up into Kelsey’s face. I glanced around. “Did I fall asleep?”
“You did, and we’re getting ready to land in thirty minutes.”
Desiree lay still across my lap. I’d never slept sitting upright unless I was dog tired, so I wondered for a moment, if relaxation had taken over. I reached down, sifting my hand under the blanket to rub Desiree across her arms. She stirred and turned her body from her side to her back to look up at me.
“Oh my God, I fell asleep on you.” She invited me in with her soft smile.
“Anytime Bella, anytime.”
“What time is it? Felt like I slept for a month.”
I chuckled. “Not quite a month. We’re getting ready to land in thirty minutes.”
Her eyes popped. “Land? Already?”
“Mmhmm.”
“So I did sleep a month!”
This brought hearty laughter from me.
“Oh my God,” she said again, rising to sit. She threw her legs over the sofa and stretched. “I am not good company, am I?”
“The best.”
She smirked. “And you’re too sweet to tell me when I suck.”
I chuckled. “You’re being too hard on yourself.”
“I need to freshen up. Bathroom?” She asked.
I left the couch standing to my feet, and offered her a hand. She accepted it, and her touch warmed my palm. We walked together, making our way to the bedroom in the rear of the jet. The closer we got, the tighter her fingers closed around mine. Desiree was nervous. When I’d mentioned stretching out across the bed earlier, she’d quickly shot that notion down; opting to lay across the sofa instead. I wondered if she thought I would love her and leave her. It was not ridiculous if she did. I could admit; my expertise with women only came from the promiscuous behavior I’d promoted throughout the last decade.
But if Desiree only knew my inner struggle, she might think differently. Inside the room, I stopped short and pointed to a door in front of us.
“Use whatever you need. This room is yours; bathroom is through that door. I’ve already taken the initiative to place your bags there on the dresser. If you require anything…”
“Thanks.”
“Anytime, Bella.”
I pulled my eyes away from her and left in search of a cold shower. It was supposed to cool off the heated temperature of my skin, but I found myself assaulted with thoughts of Desiree. Standing in front of me, bare skin, droplets of water running down the plumpness of her breasts to her brown areolas. I pulled my bottom lip between my teeth and held back my head allowing the exuberant force from the shower head to spray my face as if it would wash the images away. Maybe I was in over my head. What did I know about being with a single woman anyway? I had my doubts about what I was pursuing. This was unknown territory.
I left the shower and got myself together for the day. The next time I saw Desiree, she was sashaying through the hallway quietly. When my eyes fell on her, I knew I was a goner.
