Chapter 13

Renell

It was after eleven pm and the house was quiet. Resean was down, hopefully until at least five am. I had just taken a shower and after Ricky oiled my body down, we were all snug under the covers. I was reading Addicted by Zane. Reading books by her was my guilty pleasure. Ricky was lying beside me with his computer in his lap.

When he put in the password, I tried to sneak a peek to see what keys he pressed, but he did that shit too fast. I still had no clue what it was. When he looked over at me, I pretended to be into the book.

“What are you reading?” He asked as if he was really interested.

I entertained him anyway. “Addicted by Zane. I read it before a while back. It’s about a woman who is addicted to sex.”

“Hmm.” A sly smile crept on his face.“Can you relate to the main character?”

I laughed. “In some ways yes and in some ways no.”

“I’m curious to know why that’s your answer.”

“Well, I wish I could be as sexually open as she is. I can relate to the want and desire that she feels. What I can’t do is fuck random men. Besides, she finds out later in the book that her father molested her and she had been suppressing the memories. After going to her therapist she finally remembered and that explained her unusual sexual appetite.”

“Damn, that’s a twist,” he said with a shocked look on his face. “I could never understand how a father could do something like that to his own child. That’s a reflection of him and he should be protecting his daughter, not being the man who damages her.”

I nodded my agreement. “You’re absolutely right.” As I took my glasses off, a yawn escaped without warning.

“You’re sleepy baby?” He asked glancing over his shoulder.

“Yes, as hell,” I mumbled. “I have to go to the office in the morning.”

I wasn’t looking forward to seeing Brock. As a matter of fact I’d been avoiding him. Still, I knew that I’d have to face him eventually. A nagging feeling deep down inside kept telling me that I had to fire him too. His confession couldn’t have come at a worse time. When I felt like I owed him my life, he just had to tell me how in love he was with me. Damn, could things get any more complicated?

“I’m sorry babe. I have to finish this,” he said staring at the computer screen in deep concentration. “If the light’s bothering you I can go in the study.”

I grabbed his arm. “No, stay. I’m fine. I want you right here.” After what had happened with Grady, I couldn’t stand to sleep alone.

He smiled and then leaned over to kiss my lips. “Night baby.” His focus was back on the computer’s screen.

“Night.” I closed my eyes and drifted off into a restless slumber.

I was out of the office the next day before noon and as I got in my Navigator I heard someone calling my name.
