“Be careful. I should fight against it, but I don’t want to.”
“Me either. I want to see you every day. What’s your work schedule like coming up?”
“I’m off till Wednesday. But I’m working next weekend, unfortunately.”
“Move in,” he said. “Then you’ll come home to me instead of Ralph and Beverly.”
“Dan, we haven’t had sex yet,” she said, laughing. “Isn’t it kind of premature to live together already.”
“No. We’re old enough to know what we want. You’re perfect for me. You’re smart, beautiful. You don’t have a lot of baggage. I, on the other hand, have three baby mamas. Can you deal with that?”
“Yes. Time will tell. Is your family going to give you a rough time about me?”
“No, they wouldn’t dare. Are you okay with my relationship with Pam? That’s something we need to clear up right away.”
“What is it?”
“We occasionally run on the beach, but it’s usually her dragging me along. That’s it. I love her like a dear friend.”
“I’m not jealous, normally. I’m not sure, honestly. I’ll have to see. Is that okay if we play it by ear?”
“We can play it by ear. If I see her when you’re home, you’ll be invited.”
“Okay, that I can live with. I run, by the way. I’ll run on the beach with you.”
“I actually hate it.”
“You’re funny. Do you run on the treadmill?”
“I do, but I hate that too.”
“Your body is amazing,” she said. “I can’t wait to see you naked.”
He started to laugh, cringing a little bit. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a woman say that to me before we had sex.”
“I guess I figure I’ve already put it out there, what do I have to lose?”
He turned onto Sea View and pressed the garage door opener. “We’re home,” he said, grinning.
“Yes, we are. Now, to see what’s next?” she said, smiling back.
Sunday morning, Rene woke up, the unfamiliar sound of the ocean waves crashing disorienting. Looking around, the room was sterile with no artwork or mementos, exactly the way Dan had critiqued her mother’s decorating. The bedroom was kind of brown, what you’d expect a guy to like. Dan was on the other side of the bed, his eyes open, watching her.
“Now I know where I am,” she murmured.
He reached out his hand for hers. “How’d you sleep?”
“It was pretty great. I haven’t slept with anyone in a long time. You’re easy.”
“This is a big bed. I don’t like you way over there.”
He pulled her over with one good haul as she screamed with laughter, the sheet falling away, her beautiful body uncovered.
“I want you right here,” he said, hugging the length of her.
“How’d you sleep with me in your bed?”
“I’m better with you,” he said, kissing her neck. As he rubbed her back, she felt his erection against her thighs. “I’ll be right back.”
