Chapter Seven

Lena loved the west-facing windows of her room in the Great House because it meant no pesky sunlight waking her early in the morning. Since she was the only girl in the family, her parents finished the attic space for her as two rooms. One, with the western and northern windows, was her bedroom. With the exception of exchanging her twin bed for a queen, and taking the stuffed animals out, it looked as it did when she summered here.

She used the second room with its eastern and northern windows as a playroom when she was younger and as an artist studio as an adult. It was her private sanctuary with plenty of space and wonderful lighting, both natural and electrical. Fortunately her parents believed strongly in privacy and needing personal space, so no one in the family came there, even when she was away.

This morning she woke slowly and stretched pleasantly sore muscles into rousing. She was getting used to the way her body felt after sex with Daniel, and she liked it. A lot. Last night was simultaneously rough and tender, both of them needing to express themselves, both of them needing the other to accept them. Lena never knew sex could be so filled with connection. Not even in her marriage did she experience this. She did it to please the other person and for her own enjoyment. Feeling as though she was communicating with her partner through sex was new.

And wonderful.

She rolled over to reach for Daniel but discovered she was alone with a note where she thought he would be. “Gone jogging. Coffee made. Want you again. D.” It was hard to know what was better—that he wanted her, or that he made certain coffee was waiting for her downstairs. She decided since she couldn’t have him at the moment, she was going with the next best thing.

Putting on an oversized t-shirt and lounge pants, she headed barefoot to the kitchen as if guided like a cartoon character on the waves of the enticing smell. It was a wonderful way to be greeted—a freshly brewed pot of heaven. She could have used a kiss, too, but it was available later.

A full bottle of hazelnut creamer was in the refrigerator from their shopping trip. She added it to her drink, took a sip and sighed contentedly, loving the taste. Lingering over morning coffee was one of her favorite treats when she was here, along with not having to get dressed in anything more confining than sweatpants. Normally, her days were completely unscripted and totally her own.

Not this time. As she continued to enjoy her coffee and bit into a blueberry muffin, she considered how to manage her day. Maybe working alone in her studio would help her come up with something new, something that wasn’t possible when they were collaborating in a small office space. He might be curious about what she was doing, but she didn’t think he would push to see her work if she didn’t offer.
