Turn Me On
“It was a project of Reed’s and since he’d told her about it at length, she wanted to see it for herself.
Ten days after their wedding night and she still couldn’t shake the realization that something fundamental had changed between them. She’d racked her brain trying to remember if she’d said anything to make him put up that barricade, or if he’d said anything that might have alerted her to the shift in his attitude. But she couldn’t.
Not that he wasn’t still attentive, generous, and caring tow...ard her. He was all of those things. It was that she felt he kept her at a distance, if not physically then emotionally. Of course, she shouldn’t expect anything else, seeing as the nature of their relationship didn’t demand an emotional link between them. But she’d felt a growing closeness and now that it was no longer there, she missed it.
She already knew, and had admitted to herself, that she was falling for him. Perhaps it hadn’t been apparent until she’d sensed his withdrawal, but it was there now and she cursed herself for allowing it to happen.MoreLess
