After, he held me in the dark, his fingers running over my arms.

My body was limp and wrung out from my orgasm, and I felt relaxed in his arms, safe, taken care of.

Even so, I propped myself up on one arm and looked at him, imploring.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” he demanded, frowning.

“You know exactly why I’m looking at you like that.”

There was a pause, and the side of his mouth slipped up into a self-satisfied smile. “Because I just gave you the best orgasm of your life?”

“Stop.”

Silence stretched between us, and for a moment, I was afraid it was all pretend, that the connection I’d felt between us, that him being here, really had been just about sex.

“I missed you,” he said gruffly.

“Then why didn’t you call?”

He reached up, took a lock of my hair, twisted it slowly in his fingers. “I wanted to. I wanted to so badly, but you…” His jaw set in a line.

“But I what?”

“You said you loved me.”

“So what? It’s how I feel. I’m not going to apologize for telling you the truth. You said outside that you didn’t want to keep things from me anymore. So, I feel the same way. I don’t want to keep things from you. I love you. And in Vermont, you said you were falling in love with me. Was that the truth?”

“Being without you these last three days was torture.” He turned toward me., his blue eyes serious. “I couldn’t stand the thought of you being out with those men, couldn’t stand them looking at you, thinking they could have what was mine.”

“Then why didn’t you call?” I demanded again.

“Because the only thing worse than not having you is having you.”

“Stop talking in riddles.”

“Being with you is torture,” he said, pulling me close. “Knowing that I want to love you and hurt you at the same time…”

“It’s not hurting me,” I said. “I like it.”

“It’s fucked up,” he said, and he looked at me, imploring, and I saw the torment in his eyes.

“Who told you that?”

“No one had to tell me.”

“Was it one of the…” I trailed off, running my hands over his biceps, feeling the smoothness of his skin. “Was it one of the other women you’ve been with?” As much as it pained me to say it, of course I knew there were other women. He had a whole room in the house in Vermont, one that was there long before me.

“No.” He shook his head. “Women would let me do whatever I wanted to them, but…you’re different.”

“Why?”

“Because I love you.”

He gathered me in his arms then, and I snuggled up to his chest. His body was warm, and I listened to his heart beat, strong and steady. We fell
