I counted to ten after I heard the click of the door closing. Then I counted to ten again, forcing my breathing to be deep and even. It didn’t help. My heart continued to pound as if trying to burst through my chest. I expected the glass in my hand to have shattered by now with the fierceness of my grip. Water sloshed around inside it when I placed it on the counter. My shaking got worse as I moved to sit on my sofa. I raised my legs to curl my body into a tight little pod and covered myself with one of the folded throws I owned.

“You have a problem with wanting to fuck?”

“Today I can’t. I won’t. Rough day on both of us. Too easy to fall in bed to work out frustrations. I’ve done that with other women in the past. Not fair. Made me feel like shit. Not gonna use you to make me feel better. Not gonna let you use me for the same reason.”

His words played in my head. Was he right? Was I looking for any port in a storm, and would any man with a functioning dick work at this moment? I supposed I could stay angry at him for suggesting I was simply looking to get laid, but truthfully, I had done this before with other men. Used sex to make myself feel better. More often than not, any relief I got was temporary, and I spent days afterwards justifying or running away.

“You could have fucked me tonight, all night. Probably in the morning too. Why did you stop?”

“Taking advantage. Not right.”

I closed my eyes and let the tears fall down my cheeks unchecked. Twice I had thrown myself at Owen, practically begging him to fuck me, and twice he had refused. Perhaps he didn’t want me after all. He could be disgusted by my preferred lifestyle and only have helped me because of my friendship with Beverly.

Deep down, I knew that wasn’t true. If it were, he wouldn’t have gone to this party with me. He wouldn’t have taken on Magnus and demanded an apology from him. He wouldn’t have pointed a finger in my father’s face and said, “Shame on you.”

“Don’t you want me?”

“If the time comes when you invite me to your bed, I’ll be there not because you opened your legs to me. I’ll be there because you opened your heart to me.”

Oh. My. God. Please don’t let me fall in love with this man. I couldn’t bear it if it didn’t last.

Who the fuck am I kidding? I might already be there.
