She remained still and quiet, refusing to look at me. Was she asleep already?
But then I heard her speak. “Part of me wishes I could have you,” she said. “Part of me wishes you were my man, but…”
I heard her swallow, and then she sighed.
“Everything will be real tomorrow,” she told me.
As if that explained everything.
Walking over to her window, I closed her drapes.
“Someday you’ll be big and powerful,” she continued.
I turned to see her sitting up in bed and punching the pillows behind her, trying to get them to the right fluffiness.
“Like I am now?” I teased.
“And stunning in a three-piece suit with fabulous hair,” she went on, thinking out loud like I wasn’t even here.
“I look better wet.”
“And everyone will love you.” She plopped back onto her pillows, lying on her back.
“They already do.”
“And you’ll be the life of the party.”
I walked over, straightening her blankets and biting back my smile. “Mm-hmm.”
“With little magazine-cover looking children.”
“My sperm will be the stuff of legends,” I joked.
“And married…”
“Several times, I’m sure.”
“And to all blondes.”
My body shook with a laugh as I leaned over her, smelling her and me on her skin and dying to crawl into this bed with her.
But she was done for the night.
“And the only time you’ll notice I’m alive,” she went on, “is when you sign the checks, paying my dog-walking service for taking care of your labradoodles every week.”
“Like a busy, important, fabulous god like me would be bothered with such tasks?” I retorted. “My eighteen-year-old former Playboy-bunny wife, Heidi, will sign those checks.”
A snarl flashed on her mouth, and I snorted.
“You’re going to remember this, Will Grayson,” she said, sounding all tough. “I blew your mind tonight. Even for just a minute.”
She turned over, giving me her back, and I smiled, smoothing the hair off her face and neck.
You’ve been blowing my mind for forever.
“Now, get out of here,” she said, nudging me playfully and closing her eyes.
I stared down at her, the shadows of the trees outside dancing across her back, and my body hummed, wanting more of her.
