Chapter Ten

Sage

Filling her days with appointments, spreadsheets, and list-making wasn’t hard. Ignoring her texts and constant calls from Luke, however, was damn near impossible. Since her belly button became an outie a few weeks ago and showed through her blouses, Sage hadn’t been seen naked by anyone but her OB. When Luke knocked on her door for a booty call, she feigned sleep, and whenever possible she planned on not being home when she knew he wasn’t working.

But it was getting harder and harder to ignore him. Her girly parts hadn’t received—or chose to ignore—the memo that she was hanging up her thongs—literally, the string up her ass couldn’t compare to the parachute underwear she found in the maternity section at Macy’s—and would no longer be receiving visitors. Luke, apparently, hadn’t gotten the memo either. It wasn’t like she wasn’t clear about their relationship. Or lack thereof. From the beginning, she’d told him the sex would end as soon as the cantaloupe changed to a VW Bug. She’d surpassed basketball status weeks ago, and it felt like the twins were throwing midnight parties and invited all their friends who stayed up until the wee hours of the morning, finally calling it quits when the alarm went off.

It had been weeks since she’d slept well. And the timing had nothing to do with Luke’s absence. It was the babies causing havoc in her life, not her decision to finish this solo.

Luke was a good guy. He deserved someone that didn’t come with a cargo plane full of baggage. He carried enough of his family’s troubles; there was no need to add her messed-up problems to his plate. Sure, the man had shoulders that could carry the weight of the world, but that didn’t mean she had to add to his burden.

Sage sat at her desk and rubbed her temples. If only she could find someone to rub her feet. Luke would. He’d come off a fifteen-hour shift, dirty, sweaty, starving, and put his own needs aside to take care of Sage. Damn pansy. She didn’t need a guy like that in her life. She wanted someone who could…Sage sighed and slumped in her chair, resting her head on her desk.

Hell. She wanted a man who would put her needs before his. Who would be at her beck and call but not be a wimp. Someone she could spar with. Laugh with. Boss around, who wouldn’t wilt under her orders, yet, if the occasion ever occurred, could take care of Sage and make her feel like a princess.

Double hell. Luke fit the bill and then some. A whole hell of a lot some. She set her expectations incredibly high because she didn’t want a man to hold permanent residence in her life. No man could fit the bill and now she’d made a stinking mess of everything. Luke didn’t only hold a place in her life, he damn near took over her heart as well.

The only thing she could do was shut him out completely.
