I DIDN’T WANT TO NEED YOU

Dates & Desire

“I didn’t mean to fall,

Didn’t want to care at all.”

—Heart

Wynn looked down at Lonnie’s large hands as they surrounded her own, his touch making her body wake up and respond to some unseen connection between them as it always did. When she looked up at his face, she could see in his eyes that he was teasing, but that he was also very serious. He wanted her to come with him. To bring Edie and travel with them as he toured the country over the next eight weeks.

It was intoxicating, the pull he had on her when he was this close and smelling like he always did—masculine, and musky, and so Lonnie—that it almost always overwhelmed her sensible brain. It almost always made her want to reach up and rub her hands along the planes of his face, to the corner of his tempting mouth. So, yes, he was right when he said she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep her hands off of him. But she wasn’t going to tell him that.

She pulled herself away, and he let her go. She got to the couch and picked up her bag with her textbooks in it and then the bag that had her clothes from spending two nights in his bed. Without him. While he was gone. While she’d had dreams of him coming home and waking her up in ways that made her body shake.

She shook her head to clear it. To focus on what he’d asked and the fact that she had a date tonight with another guy. With Zack.

“I…I need time to think about it.”

He stared at her, taking in her shaking hands and her bags. He looked like he wanted to take them from her and force her to stay. She half wanted him to, which is why she turned away and opened the door before he could take action that she wouldn’t fight.

He met her at the door but didn’t touch her again.

“I meant it.”

“I know you did.”

She turned back to look at him in the doorway. Tired. He always looked tired these days. The burden he was carrying with Edie as he tried to adjust to having her in his life…it was a heavy burden. Yet, he hadn’t even hesitated to take it on, even though he hadn’t had a clue at the time just exactly how much it would change his life.

He was a good man.

She headed down the steps, and he followed her to the railing.

“Have fun with Zack.” He said it with his normal teasing voice, but there was an undertone to it that sounded like he didn’t really mean it. More sarcastic than his normal joking.

She didn’t respond. She just waved, got in her car, and drove away.

Wynn looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing her cowboy boots and a t-shirt dress with a zig-zag pattern. It was unlike most t-shirt dresses in that it hit
