Desire (#2)
“I kept up my sunny performance, until I was safely in my hotel suite, then I flopped on the bed and started to cry.
Why had I picked him? Why had I fallen for a man who would never love me back? I buried my face in the pillow. I lay there for over an hour until my cell phone rang.
It was Benjamin.
I looked at the caller display and chewed my lip. I didn’t know if I could speak to him right now.
I answered the phone, and his warm deep voice sent tingles down to my toes and made fresh tears prick... the corner of my eyes.
“Can you be ready for six? I’ll send the car to take you to Hampshire. I’m not going to get back in time to see you off, but…”
“That’s fine,” I interrupted. “Look, to be honest, it will do me good to have a little space.”
He was silent on the other end of the phone.
“I’m not really sure this is going anywhere,” I said.
“Where do you want it to go?” he asked. He kept his voice light, but there was a steely edge to it.
“I’m starting to feel like a sex object,”MoreLess
