Chapter Nine
I COME OUT of sleep with warm hands on my cheeks, his lips on mine. I donât want to open my eyes, donât want this to end, this lovely dream state where the world canât intrude, where everything is fine. And he is kissing me so hard I canât think.
Finally, he pulls away.
âValentine, baby, I have to go.â
Fuck. And there it is. Inevitable reality.
âI know,â I tell him, my lashes fluttering open, my fingers curling around his wrist. His flesh is warm.
âI wish I could stay with you all day. Just stay here in bed with you,â he tells me, his voice quiet, husky with sleep still. I can smell the soap from the shower on him. His hair is damp when I reach up to pull his face in for another kiss.
He groans. âI really have to go to work.â
âIâm sorry. I donât want to make you late.â
âIâm sorry I canât stay.â He pulls back, his eyes on mine. âI donât want to leave you now.â
My chest hurts, just looking at him, listening to his tone, his words. If he doesnât leave right now I feel like Iâll crack, just break apart. I canât figure it out. He just gets inside me and itâs suddenly too much to handle.
He leans in, kisses me again, his fingers going into my hair. Ah, so nice. Too nice.
Please go.
I canât believe Iâm even thinking this. But I need some time to assimilate everything thatâs happening inside me.
âIâll call you tonight, okay?â He smiles, laughs a little. âHell, I may call you at lunchtime. I donât know if I can wait until tonight.â
I just smile at him, nod my head. I canât talk to him now.
But he seems satisfied. He gives my hair a playful tug and then heâs gone, leaving me alone with my whirling thoughts.
I keep coming back to this confusing, frightened place. I canât calm down enough to really think. My body, my mind, crave the safety of sleep, but I know Iâm too worked up to fall asleep again. Totally impossible, with my heart pounding, my pulse racing. Instead I get up and get right into the shower, blasting the hot water.
It scorches my skin as I get in and stand under the spray, but I need it, need something that intense to get my mind off what Iâm feeling. Something to focus on. I pick up my favorite bottle of liquid soap, squeeze it out onto my palm and run it over my skin until Iâm slippery all over, smelling like orange blossoms and vanilla. Then I move under the water, letting the heat rinse away the soap, along with some of my anxiety.
I really need to calm down. Just calm down so I can think this through.
But even as that idea flits through my brain, the water hits my nipples, and they immediately go hard. And in moments I am thinking of Joshua, of his clever hands, his lovely mouth on my body, his cock inside me.
