CHRIS
There are only a few hours until the rehearsal dinner. And I canât seem to remove myself from Rosâs hotel room bed.
I have to say: I knew it would happen...but being with Rosalyn changes everything.
My entire worldview.
I feel...different.
Iâm not talking about the usual sensational rush. Not even the primal urgings that set my instincts on high. But something deeper, harder, more visceral.
My primal urge has been knocked off balance by the new complexities in the evolving creature before me.
In Rosalyn.
The woman she is, inside and out. The layers she keeps me guessing about.
I was wrong. I know now that I was.
She isnât the same person I used to know. The one I used to...want.
This is a world beyond want. Beyond need.
I breathe her in. Part of me wants her so badly it hurts, but I want this...thing with us, with her, to last.
How long, I do not know.
But I want to know her.
I want to understand her. I want to know everything. What she did. What sheâs thinking. I want to know about her life. Her past. Her hopes, her fears, everything.
What I feel for her is stronger than Iâve ever felt before for a woman.
Stronger than Iâve let myself feel for a woman.
I know that now.
And thatâs the problem.
Iâm afraid of the intensity of what I feel for her, and what is only now surfacing.
Sheâs not the only woman whoâs kept me at armâs lengthârun away from me. She wasnât the first. My mother has dibs on that claim.
And I donât know if Ros will be the last. But I do know I canât let her out of my sight.
Not yet.
Not until the truth comes out.
Not until the real Rosalyn arrives.
Besides, I am not one to let go of something I want.
I want her.
And I believe she wants me.
But thereâs no addressing all of that right now.
Because right now, we both have a rehearsal to get to.
I lift off Rosalynâs cool hotel sheets, staring down at her in amazement as I stand to my feet. Leaving is so much harder than I thought it would be.
She grins as I adjust her skirt. I grin back as I put my shirt back on.
âAre you okay?â I ask, my voice softer under the blowing of the heavy air conditioner. The room feels colder than it did just seconds before.
Ros props herself up on her elbow, looking at me with the beauty of an angel.
âIâm going to charge you for every time you ask me that,â she responds, a twinkle in her honeyed hazel eyes. âBut if you want me to answer honestly... well, right now? I feel like I can fly,â is all she says, making my heart jump out of my chest.
I walk to the bedside table, scratching my head for a moment, and then pull out my phone.
âWhat are you doing?â she asks.
âI have something to help you feel even more like you can fly. Something to help make you feel better. And better. And...â I interrupt her, laughing.
