Harley

I shiver. Not because I’m cold, but because I’m disappointed and a little baffled. Maybe I pushed him. Sure, I could see that, if he hadn’t been the one to instigate the kiss. Maybe he was doing something against his ethics. Okay, then let’s talk about it. We’re adults. We’re attracted to each other. And now, I feel like I’ve been…abandoned.

It’s a crevice inside of me. And on top of it, my body is wound up like a yo-yo ready to drop and then return, energy balled up. I turn on the shower. The bathroom is beautiful. Gorgeous brown and gold specked granite covers all the walls except the one with the two sinks, it’s a mirrored wall.

I strip down. There are some scrapes from the glass, but overall, I’m in better shape than I probably should be. I’ve never hated my body and I’m not going to start now. I’ll assume he meant his words. I stare at my naked body. This is not my fault. And if I just sleep the night in the guest bedroom—I’m assuming there is one—and when the roads clear tomorrow, I’ll get out of here. Away. Far away from him.

The steam coils through the air, clouding the glass fronted shower doors.

I step in and lean against the side wall allowing the water to roll down my body. I hoped it would wash away the tension, but nothing is helping. I massage his shampoo into my hair. It smells like him. I wonder if he uses it on his beard too. The thought makes me giggle.

“I love the sounds you make.”

I jump at his deep, driving voice. There’s nothing that’s not intense about the man. His gaze. His motions. His voice.

“I’m sorry, Harley.”

“Don’t be. Are you okay?” I can’t see him as the suds trail down my face.

“My life is a little in flux right now.”

“How’s that?” If he needs the wall of clouded glass between us, I’m fine with that. I just want to hear him and know what’s wrong.

“When I came back from war, I just wanted to get back to being me. And then I had to get my brother Wyatt back to being him that I never got to fixing me.”

“I understand that. My sister came out to our family and they turned on her. I’m all she has left.”

“Damn. I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Yeah, it’s been a rough year. I’ve tried to keep it together, but I recently started therapy to handle it.”

He blows out a long breath. “I don’t know if I can tell someone I don’t know my problems.”

I start cleaning my body. “I thought the same thing. I’d lived inside my own head for so long that I thought if someone got in there, they’d judge me, and I hate being judged and…yelled at.”

“I’m sorry for yelling earlier.”

“You didn’t know and honestly, I deserved it. I never should’ve driven into that water. It was—”

“You were trying to make sure your sister knows you will always be there for you.
