CHAPTER 20
Getting home a little after midnight, he quietly entered the house certain Janine was asleep upstairs. Pouring a glass of bourbon before going up to join her, he wanted to settle his thoughts about what happened in the club. He also needed to come to grips with how seeing Nikita like that made him feel. He certainly wasn’t jealous, but he definitely missed the way it felt to be with her. Theirs was a primal exploration of their darker sides. Play and sex with her took on new dimensions that could be totally uninhibited-almost touching on the dangerous, but always with a modicum of control.
What he had with Janine was so much more and he wasn’t prepared to risk losing her again to unleash that part of himself. He thought he could ease her into, but every time they began, he retreated to the familiar. The truth was he was terrified she couldn’t handle it even though she’d asked to experience it, almost begging. But he was also growing concerned he couldn’t contain his desire for it.
Sipping on the bourbon he thought of all the things he’d shared with Janine. She was his heart and soul. With her he felt a peace and fullness he’d never experienced with any other woman. She entered his world willingly with curiosity and passion. But she had her limits, both physically and emotionally. Pushing her into something else could be problematic if he didn’t give her the space she needed to process it all. As gregarious and open as she was, she also needed freedom to retreat into her thoughts and find her way on the other side of whatever the issue was. One thing was certain, she trusted him. He realized he had to do the same. He had to trust her with this part of himself.
Gulping down the last of his drink, he went upstairs. When he didn’t hear her light snoring, he flipped on the light and saw she wasn’t there. He called out to her, thinking she might be in her office but there was no answer. It didn’t occur to him that she’d still be out because she rarely stayed out this late. When he got home he simply assumed she’d parked in the garage instead of the driveway like he did. The last time he spoke to her, she’d safely arrived in New York and was walking to the restaurant to meet Kelly. He hadn’t heard from her since. That was almost twelve hours ago.
Reaching for his phone, he heard the front door open downstairs. He went to the top of the stairs as she came in.
“Oh, hi Sweetie!” she said cheerfully. “I’m surprised you’re here.”
“I was getting ready to call you. Are you just getting back from New York?” he asked walking down to greet her.
“Yes. Kelly talked me into staying for dinner…and more wine. I didn’t think it was a good idea to get on the road until I was a bit more sober.”
“I’m glad you had a good time.
