Chapter 16

Confessions and Revelations

Kate finished the conversation with an apologetic Alistair and then disconnected the call. Moving with deliberate slowness, she set the phone back down on the bedside table and drew her knees up to her chest, sitting quietly in thought. The splashing from the shower paused and Michael’s voice floated out to her.

“Kate? Are you joining me?”

“In a minute,” she called back, wondering whom the voice belonged to: it didn’t sound like her. She took a deep breath and got out of bed, walking toward the bathroom and peeling off her T-shirt. Pausing beside the shower, she shimmied out of her underwear and shot a quick look at the mirror, relieved to see that she looked calmer than she felt.

A muffled thud drew her attention to the shower door, and she smiled to see that Michael had wiped a panel to peer through at her, the flash of his smile making her heart give an unsteady thump. She opened the shower door and stepped into Michael’s embrace. Looking over his shoulder, she saw that the panel he had cleared was beginning to fog up again, but she could still see through to the other side. Reaching around behind his shoulder, she wiped the patch clear again.

“What are you doing?” Michael said, nuzzling against her neck as he lathered the soap before rubbing his frothy hands up and down her sides.

“Seeing clearly,” Kate replied simply, and then turned her face toward his for a kiss.

After making love, they toweled each other dry, stopping for kisses often. Michael paused while patting the water off Kate’s legs to look up at her.

“You’re very quiet,” he observed, and then went back to his ministrations.

“What would you like me to say?” Kate replied.

“Dunno.” He shrugged, and then stopped as a thought struck him. “What did Alistair want?”

Kate stilled.

“He wants you to call him later,” she said at last. “He sounds happy with what you’re working on.”

“Mmph,” Michael snorted, more interested in the progress he was making up Kate’s thighs. He paused as he planted a soft kiss at the apex of her legs before continuing with the towel up the soft, flat plane of her belly. “Right now, I don’t much care what he thinks. He’s in trouble, I know that much. He never calls on the weekend, so I don’t know what’s prompted him to start now.”

“I guess he was just excited,” Kate said in a soft voice, reaching down to comb his wet hair with her fingers. “He said he’d been reading.”

“Ah,” Michael said, getting up from his knees to stand in front of her, dropping a kiss on each breast as he continued.

“He thinks it’s your best work yet,” Kate continued, watching his reflection in the mirror. Michael nodded, reaching out to brush the strands of her wet hair off her shoulders, moving the towel across her back in gentle arcs. “Michael, can I ask you something?” Kate said in a quiet voice.

“Mmm?” he said, brushing the towel down her back.
