Chapter Ten

Asia pulled the bill of her Yankees cap lower to shield her eyes from the glaring sun. An early morning rain shower had cooled the air, but now the sun was back in full force, shining down on their seats just above the visitor’s dugout.

“This is my first time at the new stadium,” she said. “I thought I’d feel nostalgic about the old one, but I don’t. This is amazing.”

“I hadn’t been to either one,” Dexter said. “I’m a Braves fan. I usually just catch the games on television.”

“That’s right. You grew up in Atlanta.” She looked over at him. “You know, if you hadn’t said anything, I never would have known that you were not a native New Yorker. You don’t have a Southern accent.”

“Not everyone from the South has an accent.” Dexter chuckled.

She was getting very used to hearing his laugh. It was unwise to get used to anything about him. He was a temporary figure who would be out of her life almost as quickly as he’d come into it. But her brain chose to ignore the warning.

“How long have you been in New York?” she asked.

“I moved here about six years ago.” He tilted his head to the side as if thinking. “Actually, I guess it’s closer to seven now.”

“Were there not enough dogs to walk in Atlanta?”

The question triggered his laugh again. “The demand for professional dog walkers diminishes the further you are from a big city, but I was not always a dog walker.” He stared across the field, towards the Yankees’ bullpen. After a moment, he said, “I worked on Wall Street my first few years in New York.”

“Ah, that explains it,” Asia said.

“Explains what?”

“How you were able to hold your own at the GPPR mixer. Most spouses or significant others who aren’t in the industry spend the entire night trying to avoid those conversations, but you jumped right in. You were impressive.”

A grin surfaced. “Glad to know I impressed you.”

He did so much more than impress her. He stirred all kinds of things within her, sensations that had lain dormant for so long that Asia had forgotten they existed.

In the couple of weeks since Cortland’s departure, she had come to realize that their sex life had turned into a duty that she penciled in instead of something she looked forward to. Cortland had blamed it on her work schedule, but Asia was beginning to believe that it was something else entirely.

In reality, her sexual attraction to Cortland had never been as strong as she’d wanted it to be. She’d desired him well enough, and for the most part, he’d fit the bill, fulfilling the need when it arose. She’d told herself that Cortland suited her life in so many other ways that settling for a less than thrilling sex life wasn’t too much to ask.

Then along came Dexter Bryant.

Asia couldn’t deny that since the morning he’d walked into her office nearly two weeks ago, he’d had her thinking about what her previously understimulated libido had been settling for.
