CHAPTER SIXTEEN

My life was now unabridged chaos; there had been so many unwanted alterations to my life and my head was spinning. Everything was different; my career, my family, my household, my sex life. I was a strict creature of habit. If it wasn’t written down or planned, then it simply wasn’t happening! I had found comfort in that. I no longer had that comfort and I hadn’t processed how I was managing without it. I’d been carefully placing one foot in front of the other hoping I didn’t fall, afraid I would disintegrate if I took the time to come to terms with it all. There was a time, in the very recent past, when I would have eagerly rushed to the familiar comfort and isolation the condo provided, but not today. I longed for a distraction from those norms but not just any distraction, a distraction that could only be provided by one extremely hot and sexual man. It wasn’t just the physical distraction that I craved. I honestly needed some time away from the surroundings that no longer felt as familiar and comforting as they once did. I needed time away from what my life had become ... away from the vulnerability of my current reality.

I was meeting Aiden at the penthouse within the hour. I needed to see him. I needed to be with him ... to be in his arms, to simply be in his presence. My sisters had left for Dayton earlier this morning and I had spent the afternoon at the spa. I was in dire need of some deep relaxation. I partook of a massage, facial and a full body wax.

I was entering the condo when my phone pinged. It was Kellan. I was absolutely giddy that he and I were maintaining a friendship despite my growing relationship with Aiden. I hadn’t broached the topic of defining my relationship with Kellan because I felt as if I had once again tossed him aside for Aiden. He hadn’t mentioned it and neither had I. I knew that I should feel guilty but I didn’t. I couldn’t control my feelings … nor would I bother with the pretense of controlling them as I had done in the past. I was doing the one thing Aiden had asked me to do on several occasions – I was going with it. And as for Kellan, I wanted him in my life. I couldn’t explain why but I didn’t want to say goodbye to him nor did I feel I should.

I excitedly read his text to see that he had great news about his recent hedge fund development. He was on track to becoming a portfolio manager. I replied to his text and dashed to my bedroom to pack a bag.

I was at the penthouse within the next hour. Aiden opened the door and I pounced on him, jumping into his arms. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist and pressed my lips against his.
