Chapter Thirteen

As she checked her apartment one last time, Laura wondered again whether she should just wait here for Smoke to show up. She hadn't heard from him since their texts on Monday night. He'd said he would come get her. But that was just so they could have sex before they left, wasn't it? Not that she didn't want that, in fact she couldn't wait, but Leanne's certainty that that was all he was in it for had stuck with her all week. And as each day ended with no word from him, her own conviction had gotten a little shaky. The little seeds of doubt Leanne had planted in her mind were starting to take root. If she wanted to weed out those doubts, she could hardly do it by sitting around here waiting for him to come and take her to bed. She had everything packed and ready to go, everything for the weekend and everything for London next week, too. He'd said in his text that he'd have her back to the San Francisco airport in time for her flight on Sunday, so she was ready to go straight there.

She picked up her phone.

I'll be at the airport at 5.

Hopefully he'd see her text when he landed.

He must have landed already because by the time she'd put her bags in the back of the car her phone buzzed.

I thought I was coming to SEE you before we go?

Her heart sank a little at that. Was that really all this was about? She needed to know.

I want to 'see' you. You can SEE any woman you want.

Do you want to 'see' me – or just SEE me?

She stood next to the car, waiting for his response to tell her whether there was any point getting in.

I missed you. I want to 'see' you.

We can stop SEEING each other if u want?

But you are the only one I want to SEE.

She stared at her phone, wondering how, or if she should respond. It buzzed again.

Come to the airport? Let's talk about it? Please?

That made her smile.

On my way.

Smoke sat on one of the benches outside the FBO, wondering what was bothering her. He had been in a cab, on his way to her place when he'd got her text. Twenty minutes ago he'd been on his way to SEE her, he'd had a major hard-on, and had thought he was about to put it to very good use. Now he was sitting out here. He wasn't angry, he had no desire to turn around and fly away. What he was feeling was concern. He was concerned that something must have rattled her, and concerned that she might have decided to run. Now that he understood she was just as likely to do that as he had always been, it made him nervous. He didn't want to do or say anything that would make her feel trapped—make her feel the need to escape from him. What Pete had told him had helped him understand some of her reactions—and left him mystified about others.
