Chapter 8

Thane had left her early in the morning, long before she had any intention of becoming fully awake and rising to her feet. He had exhausted her last night, but he seemed to pop out of bed with so much energy. He didn’t say where he was going, but she knew he was headed for the water. She could have asked. She could have at least let him know she was awake. Lying in bed, with her face hidden partially in the blanket, she’d watched him stand at the side of the bed, completely naked and carefree. As he reached for the ceiling, stretching himself out, she admired his body. He was so toned, so smooth, so magnificent.

Her eyelashes hid her squinted eyes as she pretended to be asleep, loving the view, and when he finally looked down at her and smiled, she felt like the most wanted woman in the world. As far as he knew, she was fast asleep, so the tenderness in his eyes was real. He wasn’t trying to impress her. He already had her and it was clear he was content with her lying in his bed. Then he turned and left so quickly she might have thought he’d disappeared if she hadn’t heard the squeak of the door on his way out.

Last night, as they both lay in bed physically exhausted, they’d talked a little bit about how he spent his mornings. He was usually up before the dawn, swimming laps as he called it. Apparently, even sharks needed to stay in shape. She wished she had the energy to join him. It seemed so long ago since she’d been able to go for a jog down the beach. Back then, she hadn’t taken advantage of that gift. She hadn’t been too lazy, but she’d never been a real physical person. She would take the stairs instead of the elevator if it meant only climbing a few floors, and she’d never been concerned about parking too close to mall entrances, but she wasn’t out running laps around her apartment building every morning.

Now, she knew that she would if given the chance. She would go to the park and run with a dog like so many other women her age. She didn’t even own a dog, but she would. She would go get one and take it jogging every day. She would swing on swings and ride bikes and do cannonballs into the pool and make love every chance she could…if she only had the energy. If she physically exerted herself too much, she would fall. She would faint. It happened to her a lot. She was lucky she didn’t pass out that day in the ocean when the shark attacked her.

Dear God, I don’t know that I’ve ever spoken to you seriously. I don’t know if I’ve ever asked you for anything that wasn’t material. I probably asked for my apartment and for my car and for a lot of other stupid shit. Shit, can I say shit? I’m sorry if that’s bad.
