I laid there stiff as a board, my breath held as I felt his eyes on me from the doorway, only releasing my pent up breath when I heard him walk away again.

He’s doing all these unexpected things, things that I didn’t foresee someone like him doing, and it’s making me feel a bit off kilter.

I’d had him pegged as the bed ‘em and leave ‘em type from the first time we met. He was the hot topic among all the females at the club, most of whom seemed willing to do anything to get with him. But so far he hasn’t acted quite how I’d expected.

I refuse to let my guard down though. Refuse to believe that all he wants is to help me. He’d admitted to wanting to take me to his bed, but even that he made sound like something more than I knew it meant to him.

It’s true I didn’t know who he was when I first entered the doors of the club, but now that I do, it only makes things worst. He’s the last kind of man I’d ever get myself involved with.

And yet, there’s something about him that seems to pull at me even when I don’t want it to. That first evening after we met as I headed to work, my heart had started racing as soon as I saw the building coming up ahead.

I knew it was the thought of seeing him again, the enigmatic man who’d made my heart race with something more than fear for the first time in forever.

I’d felt his presence as soon as I walked through the door. I didn’t need to see him, just the fact that he was there had made me feel…different. And the more I felt the more distance I wanted between us. I can’t afford that kind of trust.

Then there was the bitter disappointment I felt the next day when he wasn’t there. I found myself missing him when he went away. There was a different feeling to the club, like it was missing its heart. How silly!

I knew I was in trouble when I walked in and saw his shadow sitting at the bar days later and my whole body went up in flames.

I hadn’t even seen him yet, but just the fact that he was back had made me happier than was warranted. I’d felt settled, less restless now that he was back.

Even more troubling was the night he spent at my place. The night I was finally able to fall asleep without staying up half the night worrying that someone was going to break in and kill me in my sleep.

His presence alone had made me feel safe, protected. Something I haven’t felt since the disintegration of my parents’ once solid union. But instead of giving me comfort, it only made the fear grow inside me even more.

From the first time he held my hand in his I felt something. It took me a while to figure out what that something was; attraction.
