Chapter Eight: Roman

Somehow everything felt different as I stepped into my apartment. The Roman Conrad that had left yesterday was not the same one returning this morning. Being with Lily last night was a revelation. I'd never expected things to go so far or be that amazing. Sure, I was attracted to her and found her more and more desirable, but the feelings she had begun to awaken in me were unexpected and rather nice.

I had thought that time and distance away from her would cool my lust for her. When she had opened the door last night and I got a glimpse of her in that seductive little red dress, I was speechless. She was even more beautiful than I'd remembered. I just wanted to skip the opera all together and spend the night discovering all the delicious curves of her body.

I had almost embarrassed myself with my obvious desire for her. I couldn't take my eyes off her and the way the dress clung to her luscious figure, or the way the slit on the front of her dress showed peaks of her soft creamy skin. Even now, in the comfort of my own home, I still couldn't get her out of my mind and my body was already craving her again.

In all my 33 years, I'd never met a woman who brought out these feelings in me. I could hardly believe that I had so easily dismissed her that first evening that I saw her. To my mind, I couldn't think of another woman whom I found more desirable or attractive.

She wasn't the typical woman I normally went for, but then again, those relationships went nowhere and were ultimately unsatisfying. They'd start off with a burst of excitement, but quickly fizzled out once the novelty wore off. I even began to think I wasn't made for long term relationships, but now that I had found someone like Lily, I was very interested in exploring where it would lead.

In a way, I had to thank Warren for all of this. If it weren't for the wager, I would have never even bothered to talk to Lily in the first place. Thinking about the bet sent a bit of uneasiness through me. I knew I couldn't continue with it now, not after last night. I wondered if I should confess it to Lily when I saw her again, but then I thought of her reaction. She'd be upset, angry, and rightfully so. What person wouldn't be? But if she did find out from someone else, I knew she'd be even more upset.

I had to call Warren as soon as possible and let him know the bet was off. There would be no need for Lily to find out any of it ever happened. Once I had made the decision, I slipped my phone out of my pocket and dialed Warren's number.

Hey, it's Roman. I just wanted to let you know I'm calling off our little wager. The car doesn't hold the same appeal to me as it once did.
