Chapter 10

The next day I sat in front of my laptop bright and early, wearing a hoodie and some leggings, my legs curled under my backside as I wrote. A few more sexy scenes, and then I’d have to go through and add more chemistry. I knew what my editor meant now; before, my characters were like cardboard cutouts, just doing things because they needed to do those things to move the plot along. Now, it was like I was actually seeing them as living, breathing people. People with their own needs, their own desires, their own sexual tension.

Yeah, that last part I understood more than I wanted to.

What was even better, what helped me focus on my work that morning was the fact that I actually got sleep last night. No music playing on repeat, no sad voice filling the walls with its haunting melody. I was actually able to close my eyes and fall asleep, get a full eight hours—and this time, no sex-filled dream, thank God. Just a normal night’s sleep, and honestly I was thankful for it. I couldn’t remember the last night I got a normal night’s sleep in this house.

Silver Springs was…a weird town. I didn’t know it too well yet, since my head had always been stuck in my computer, but once my edits were done and I was waiting to hear back from the editor, I’d venture out a bit. Maybe go on more dates with my three boyfriends.

Three boyfriends. The two words still felt a little weird when I put them together.

I was knee-deep in a sex scene—or should I say balls-deep or tits-deep—when my doorbell rang. My gut immediately warmed, and I had to be careful. I would start to associate that sound with my guys.

My guys. Hah. I had guys. As in plural. Frigging weird, right?

I heaved myself away from my computer, going to the door. I looked a hot mess, my brown hair in a bun, wearing my comfy clothes, as I answered the door and found that it was Ace. A shaven, clean Ace who looked, for the first time in a long while, not down in the dumps.

Hopeful. He looked hopeful, and seeing him look so hopeful caused my heart to swell and gain three sizes.

“Ace,” I said. “What are you doing here?” I noticed that something large was strung across his back.

A guitar?

“I know you’re busy with…writing stuff,” Ace spoke cautiously, “but I was hoping to spend some time with you today. I have something to show you. Well, tell you, really.” He ran a hand through his blonde hair, and I noticed that it was freshly cut, too. He must’ve either done some grooming last night or woken up early and went to a barbershop.

He looked even better now than he did before. Less like a sexy man caught in a deep depression and more like a ridiculously hot guy who was trying to impress the woman he liked.

Me. He was trying to impress me.
