Chapter 7

One week later…

Camille sits across from me at my dining room table. Her back is ramrod straight, one hand daintily in her lap while the other spears asparagus tips with her fork. She takes forever to eat because she believes in very small bites and chewing her food like forty times or some shit like that. I always finish way before she does, which lets me sit back in my chair and relax with a second glass of wine.

I need the fortitude tonight because it seems like it’s actually a chore to spend time with Camille, and this makes me feel bad. I mean… I loved this woman once.

Didn’t I?

But we are not reconnecting, despite how hard she’s trying. It seems like all of our conversations are stilted and forced. I don’t find her amusing anymore, and I’m not sure if this is something new that I’m seeing, or if she always did it and I just refused to acknowledge it, but she seems to fucking whine a lot about her lot in life.

Grady has a bigger office than I do, even though I’ve been at the firm longer.

The corner market stopped carrying my favorite mineral water, and I think I might die without it.

My hairdresser cut two inches off my hair rather than one, and I look horrid.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Damn… even when we discuss the law, a subject that I love and am well versed in, she sounds like a damn robot, just regurgitating the stuff she learned in law school. She has no passion… no spirit, and it’s actually quite depressing to me. In fact, I’m betting that’s exactly why she didn’t get the partnership she was aiming for. I bet the selection committee could tell she didn’t have that fire deep in her belly that makes a truly great lawyer.

So you may wonder why in the fuck is she in my apartment, eating a fantastic meal I just cooked her?

I’ll tell you why.

Every date I go on with Camille is one more day in my life that I refuse to call Macy and take her up on her offer of a repeat fuck. Because despite my lack of connection and interest with Camille, I’m not the type of guy that will screw around on the person I’m seeing. Don’t get me wrong… I like getting freaky when it comes to sex, but I am a monogamist to the core.

So I put up with Camille and our lackluster dates because she’s my protection against Macy. The woman who I can’t seem to get out of my mind. The woman who has intrigued me greatly, now that I know she’s got some type of secret she’s harboring that perhaps has made her a certain way. A woman who is overtly sexual with a dark past? It’s too delicious not to be taken in by it.

But I can’t go there.

Macy Carrington isn’t the type of woman I need.

I’m ready to settle down, start a family. I want a woman that can be my freak in the bedroom, but that is only a freak in the bedroom with me.
