CHAPTER 6

Update

S hane opened her eyes, her body relaxed and refreshed. The deep and dreamless sleep left her trying to find her place, so much had happened. Sunlight streamed through the windows breaking through the darkness of the blackout curtains. Golden light streamed in between the floor to ceiling panels, creeping in where the curtains dusted the floor. Shane lay still, her body content to lie against the mattress, her head nestled into the pillow. Not exactly wanting to get up but feeling well-rested for the first time in weeks. She allowed her mind to go over last night’s memory, trying to remember yesterday’s events.

They came back to her in order of utmost distress. Micah! Micah’s breath ceasing on the floor in the lobby of the hotel, her waiting alone at the hospital without answers, watching Tess kiss Ryan from across the hotel lobby, and then there was the dream.

The dream. Her body stirred with the memory, the dream of Tess and Ryan, and how she's pleased him almost against his will. Holding him at bay between wanting and not wanting her until she'd broken through and pleased him and taking his pleasure to heights beyond, well beyond what Shane had imagined. Shane’s lips curled into a smile.

Honestly, she hadn’t seen his pleasure. She’d just experience hers. Little slutty voyeur. “Where can I get more of that?” She asked out loud to the empty room. Her voice was deep with sleep, unused and rusty.

She shifted in her bed; Shane felt the cold of the unused sheets against her skin and tried to find the warmth again while searching for her phone. What time was it anyway? She’d missed three calls, two from Lila and one from Ryan about ten minutes ago. That may have been what woke her.

Shane flung back the sheets and slid out of bed. Twenty minutes later, she had showered and dressed. She texted Ryan.

“How is everyone this morning?”

His response was prompt. He’d been watching for her response.

“Good. I’m heading up to the hospital. Can you come? No business today, recovering from last night’s events.”

"Of course." She responded. “See you in the lobby.”

***

She dropped her phone and applied the final touches to her makeup. Her reflection stared back steadily with indigo eyes, her dark hair a tumble of curls. She’d dressed in jeans with low black boots and a black off-shoulder top. Dark colors always set off her eyes. She looked good like she wasn’t trying.

That was her favorite look.

Ryan was waiting in the lobby. She felt his eyes on her when she stepped off the elevator. Her stomach tightened, caught between wanting and not wanting as he had been in her dream. What had happened when he’d stepped on to the elevator with Tess? The dream had done away with any trace of jealousy, only raising her curiosity.

His eyes were ringed with dark circles and boasted of a sleepless night. His dark hair tousled carelessly, combed with worried fingers. He was also dressed in denim and boots.
