CHAPTER 6

Ophelia

ALL GOOD THINGS…

Standing in my bedroom, I stare at my nude reflection. Bite marks pepper my neck, shoulder, breasts, insides of my thighs, and I catch matching chafe marks from his stubble. I feel a sense of belonging.

When I rolled out of Torque’s bed this morning, he followed me down to the kitchen, made me breakfast and coffee, then drove me to The Cup. I thought he would leave; I was totally wrong. He stayed and helped me prep for the day. It was so normal. So married couple.

When he told me he had to go at ten to teach a class at the fire academy, I’d wanted to beg him to stay. Instead, he spent ten minutes devouring my mouth and promising very wicked things in bed tonight.

Around two, Laken rolled in with Jesse, and they tinkered around the shop until it was time to close. Now, it’s seven, and I’ve somehow agreed to go on a double date with Laken and Hale. At first, I’d objected until she told me, of course, that Torque would be my date.

I haven’t told her we’ve been intimate yet because I know she’ll freak out in the best ways possible.

The problem is that I’m already freaking out in the worst.

Torque wasn’t concerned with our lack of protection last night in any of the six times we’d made love. In fact, talking about it seemed to rev him up for more and more with each breath. He’s not all to blame, of course. I kept reaching for him through the night too. I can’t get enough of the man.

I’ve had one sexual partner before, but it’s been years. Even so, he never made me feel the way Torque did last night. Comparing how the two men kissed me, Torque comes out on top every time.

There’s something about the devilishly handsome fireman that calls to my soul. I want him with a ferocity I’ve never experienced about anything.

And it’s terrifying.

I know I could easily fall in love with him. There’s absolutely no doubt about it. The problem is, what happens on the other side of happiness? What happens when he falls out of love with me? Because it will happen. It always does.

I can never hold anyone’s attention for long. Left behind for one thing or another. Except for my grams, who left me the coffee shop. Everyone else has always disappeared on me.

I’m not anything spectacular, and once Torque realizes that, he’ll leave me as well. The problem is that at the rate we’re going, a child could be in the mix by that point. There might already be, and we just don’t know it yet.

“Stop it, Ophelia,” I snap at myself. Torque is a good man, and I understand I’m what he wants. It’s these damn doubts that plague my mind, however. They’re unending.

Heading to my closet, I pull out the slinky black dress I’ve been saving for just this type of occasion. The straps are thin, I’m not wearing a bra, the hem ends about two inches too short, and I debate not wearing panties.
