Chapter Nine

POPPY

Poppy let out a sigh as she watched Ridge close his door. Just being near him set her libido into overdrive. She couldn’t deny it any longer, no matter how hard she tried. She wanted him, and her soaked panties proved that. But she also couldn’t say to hell with consequences. Sleeping with him was a bad idea because he was a client. But it was also a bad idea because she wanted much more than a one-night stand with him. It was hard for her to understand, but being older and more experienced in dating, she knew she was falling hard and fast for Ridge. And she figured some distance would help her figure out why she was being so reckless with her heart.

The only problem with the plan was that there wasn’t much distance between them since Ridge was just across the hall. She let out a sigh as she slid into the tee-shirt he laid out for her and curled up under the covers.

“God, I want him so much, and I can’t figure out why.”

Poppy glanced at her phone to check the time.

“11. Great. I’ve never gone to bed this early in my entire adulthood.”

She frowned and sighed once more before she buried her head into her pillow and shut her eyes.

Sleep came after a full half an hour of heavy tossing and turning. But then images of Ridge flooded her mind, keeping her consciousness fully aware of her dream state. She was dancing with him, and this time it was inside one of the Titanic’s staterooms she’d seen in a documentary once.

Why am I dreaming of a stateroom on the Titanic?

Poppy often questioned herself as she dreamed. It was something she’d done in childhood to help herself get through nightmares, and now that she was an adult, it had become a habit. A loud bang rang throughout the ship, and it lunged enough to knock them off their feet. They both went to investigate, and soon she saw herself being ripped from Ridge’s hand and plummeting into the cold water.

Poppy screamed Ridge’s name and bolted from her bed in a cold sweat. Within seconds, Ridge appeared in the doorway and raced to her bedside.

“Poppy, what’s wrong?”

Poppy clutched her chest as she tried to fill her lungs with air to calm her shaking body and racing heart.

“I had a horrible nightmare about drowning on the Titanic.”

She gasped out the words as the still fresh visions replayed in her mind. Her mouth was bone dry, and she swallowed to get some moister back in her mouth to continue talking about what she’d seen. Every fiber of her being wanted to remember all the details because, for some reason, she knew they were important.

Ridge sat on the edge of the bed next to her.

“It seemed so real! I mean, it’s like I lived it all before and with you because you were there, too. We danced and had the time of our lives for one minute. And then the next.
