I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to find me, but sadly it was failing.

Sighing, I closed my eyes and attempted to clear my thoughts. I’d been uneasy these past few days. Knowing Enzo was close to finding out my truths shook me to the core. There were some things I wasn’t ready to be transparent about.

Since meeting him, every thought I had of him rattled my center. I hadn’t had a man embed himself in my mind like him, ever. Things with him scared me so bad that I didn’t know how to act around him. At work, I hardly made eye contact with him. I finished up my duties in a hurry when it was time to leave. Whenever he tried to make conversation with me, I kept it short.

A soft sigh fell from my lips again.

My thighs squeezed together.

I hated the heavy pulsing in my lower lips. Too many times, I’d envisioned Enzo’s large hand caressing my skin. His kisses were always so dominant and possessive. Anytime I felt them, I became drunk off him.

My phone vibrated on the pillow next to my head, causing my eyes to pop open.

Reaching over, I checked the screen, and as if I thought him up, Enzo’s name was on my screen.

Enzo: You still avoiding me?

My eyes shot to the clock on my phone. It was going on ten o’clock. I read over his text a few times, debating if I would respond.

Dakota encouraged me to let Enzo in. My only fear is he wouldn’t accept me, flaws and all. I had been in this same position before, and the outcome wasn’t pretty. It was the reason why I hid myself. I never wanted to experience that kind of pain and embarrassment again.

Swallowing the lump that suddenly appeared in my throat, I decided to bite the bullet.

Me: I’m not avoiding you. I see you every day.

Now I knew I wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon. The moment I saw Enzo’s name, my pulse sped up.

Enzo: You are and we both know it. Whatever you’re holding back, I want you to show me.

Just as I was about to respond, he texted again. This time it caused my heartbeat to skyrocket.

Enzo: I’m not trying to do this shit over texts. Come see me.

My stomach fluttered reading his address. Even though I had been to his house before, I didn’t remember where it was.

I chewed on the corner of my bottom lip.

I pushed a deep breath out and licked my lips.

Ignoring the sinking feeling in my stomach, I texted him back that I was coming and kicked the covers off me. I had showered before I laid down. Now all I had to do was throw some clothes on.

The truth was I was tired of hiding and feeling like I couldn’t allow my true self to be seen.

“Hey,” I spoke quietly when Enzo opened the door.

He was only in basketball shorts. My eyes scanned his burly chest, taking in the inked canvas and toned stomach.
