Itâs impossible to sleep that night.
The conversation with Kane keeps replaying in my mind, and Iâm still struggling with the knowledge that heâs attracted to me. Every so often, I begin to doubt his admission, but yet the man hasnât lied to me once. Heâs been nothing but honest to the extent of verging on rudeness.
Now that the doubt is fading, itâs being replaced by awe. I never thought that anyone would ever want me in the way that Iâve yearned for. The fact that he desires me is exhilarating.
For the first time ever, someone sees beyond my disability. It makes me feel good but also strangely let down.
Iâm his job.
He is a professional, and heâs not going to let anything get in the way of that. Heâd said as much straight to my face.
I stare blindly up at the dark ceiling as my thoughts consume me.
Kane thinks heâs too old for me. I donât agree with that. Iâve watched men my age, and they seem like complete assholes that donât know what they want. Of course, they have the luxury of going out whenever they want and exploring relationships. I guess someone like myself is going to be a heck of a lot pickier, so maybe itâs not fair to judge. Stillâ¦some guys out there like to play with a womanâs emotions. Iâve witnessed it a time or two simply waitressing in establishments.
A man like Kane isnât going to play those games, though. Heâd be upfront from the very start.
âShit,â I whisper out loud to myself.
Iâd thought Kane was attractive before, but now Iâm seeing him through different eyes. Iâm wondering what itâd feel like to be held by him, to have him touch me, for him to be inside meâ¦
A warm flush sweeps over my entire body, and I become aware of how warm it is in the room. It was still pretty humid when Iâd climbed into bed, but thinking about sex certainly isnât helping matters.
I push aside the light sheet, hoping itâll help me cool down.
I need to stop thinking about Kane.
And sex.
Easier said than done.
Iâm naturally curious about it considering Iâve never experienced it. Is it really as good as everyone claims?
Dang it, there I go again.
Stop thinking about it, I chastise myself.
I roll over onto my side with frustration and gaze at the closet in the shadows. Think of something else. Like the hidden exit beyond those doors. The idea of dropping down into the darkness below is daunting.
In the silence of my room, I can hear Kane moving briefly about in the living room. How can the man possibly live on such little sleep?
The minutes slowly tick by as I toss and turn.
Eventually, I give up and ease out of bed. Sleep wonât be coming anytime soon, and since Kane is awakeâ¦
Iâm wearing a simple tank and panties, so I move about the small room in search of something decent to slip on. In the moonlight streaking in from behind the blinds, I find one of the pairs of shorts that Iâd left discarded earlier, and I pull them on.
