Chapter Ten

I'd had sex before. I'd been in love with other women. I'd even had my fair share of adventures on the road, gorgeous groupies willing to try anything once, desperate to please, to leave an impression on me. But nothing compared to the sight of Kaycee, splayed in front of me in the dim bedroom, her face a picture of ecstasy as she came from my touch.

Yet another way I'd never be the same. Yet another memory I could never erase. Another reason I knew I was kidding myself.

This was no casual sex.

We could never be friends with benefits, because we'd always been more than friends, no matter what we'd told ourselves.

Or maybe it was just me. Maybe I was the only one desperate enough to lie to myself in order to keep her close, to have an excuse to pretend that I was fine with whatever crumbs of a relationship I could get out of her. Kaycee was so precious, those crumbs were worth more than a whole marriage with someone else.

Only, with her gasping beneath me, her red hair spread out on the white pillow like a phoenix's haloed flame, I couldn't tell if she was searching for the same things as I was. If when she had avoided eye contact with me the past few days, it had been out of fear for the way she wanted me, or if it was something altogether different.

Because I had been sweating, dreaming, longing for her in one way or another for the past ten years. I could see that clearly now, the way I'd gravitated towards redheads when we were on the road, telling anyone who'd listen that I 'had a thing' for them.

Bullshit.

The only kind of girl I 'had a thing' for was Kaycee. They were just pale imitations. The clumsy, rough sketches of something she'd managed to perfect without trying.

No wonder my brothers and Stevie had spent so much time joking about how I was in love with her. To them, it was the running gag of our band's career, an unmistakable fact that eventually I'd clue in to. I wished for a second that they'd never done that, so that I wouldn't feel so foolish now.

What had happened in the past was past, though. And Kyle had surprised us all by getting seriously involved with a girl so stable and lovely that she made him calmer, more grounded. Jack was still recovering from the devastation of Sarah's death. That left me, the clueless jokester who ended up the butt of the biggest joke in our lives. What a twist.

"Winston?" said Kaycee. She turned her head so that she was facing more closely the direction I was standing. Of course, because she was blindfolded she couldn't see exactly where that was, but she had a good general idea.

"I'm here," I said. My voice sounded nothing like I was reeling from a deep emotional realization, which was good. I wasn't ready to share it with her. For all I knew, she only wanted sex.
