Chapter 11

Kevin spooned Kenya as they lay in bed, her eyes closed as he caressed her body.

Now that they’d had sex he couldn’t stop touching her. She could almost sense his thoughts through his fingertips. And it made her afraid, because the touch was loving.

The rain continued steadily outside as they lay in the quiet. He was memorizing the sight of her and smelling her smells that were a lot like the smells of Morocco, a mix of incense and a sweet spice.

Kevin was staring at the demure tattoo underneath her right shoulder blade. A simple, modest “KH.”

The longer he looked at it, the more he could feel something bursting inside him. Like a tower that was holding light instead of water. The tattoo wasn’t meant to portray her a certain way he knew, wasn’t meant for anyone’s eyes, not even her own.

Her tattoo, her necklace. She’d let herself be marked by her man, something Kevin wouldn’t have believed about her ever, if he wasn’t seeing the proof there on her naked body.

Her husband had made an impact on her, for better or worse. And she wore permanent proof, though he had moved on.

He was in bed with the sexiest woman in the world, he deduced. He ran his pale thumb across her sable skin, across the black letters. She stiffened a bit, knowing immediately what he was fingering and feeling vulnerable. The bursting inside him intensified.

“Kenya.”

“What.”

“I think I’m falling in love with you.”

Kenya didn’t answer.

“Did you hear me?”

“Yeah.”

“So? What do you think?”

“I think that that’s impossible.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re in love with your wife.”

Kevin sighed.

It was true, but in a complicated way.

Couldn’t he love two women? Only one was actually benefiting him.

“Are you in love with your husband?”

“I was never in love with my husband,” she confessed. “But I wanted to be. Every day.”

Kevin was somewhat stunned by the realization.

“It doesn’t work like that,” he said.

“It works the way you did it, then?” she sent over her shoulder defensively.

“It should.”

She sighed and laid back in her original position. “Look, Kevin. You’re ruining the afterglow, here. Just keep your romantic ideas to yourself.”

In the quiet they could hear the rhythmic falling of rain subtly picking up speed and intensity. He ran a single digit down the small of her back that sent a shiver through her. He felt another stirring in his loins.

Maybe it was just making up for lost time, or maybe he was addicted. He’d never been in such a state before and had never been with a woman suffering a similar fate, reacting to his every touch.

“You’re not in control anymore and you know it.”

“You don’t know me,” she broke the news.

“I do,” he insisted.

“You don’t.”

“I know we just made love to each other,” he said quietly. Her heart quickened speed, even while his words made her feel all squidgy. She tried to remember the last time she heard a man use those words.

“Only because the ones we want to do it, won’t.”

“Really,” he rolled over on his back, sounding exasperated.
