It wasn’t fair that he wasn’t my husband, and it wasn’t fair that he was so good at getting me off.There was no bumbling, no testing, no guessing.Liam had touched me and known exactly what to do.
It wasn’t fair that I wanted more and I wanted it from him.
It wasn’t fair that he was leaving too.
I fought back a sob.My mind was a mess, but my body wanted more.My clothes were piled on the end table.I threw the T-shirt I wore yesterday on over my nightshirt.
“Kenny, we should talk about this.”
“Not right now, Liam.”My voice was hard from holding back tears.Emotion built inside me until I feared I’d explode and take the county with me, but none of it had seeped into my words.
I stepped into my leggings.Fuck my socks.I wadded them up in my hands and stood.My legs quivered.I had Jell-O legs from a simple orgasm.
Simple?I huffed out a scornful laugh.This was the most complicated thing that had happened to me.
I lifted my overnight bag and rose.“I need to go.”
“Kenny.”His voice was soft, like I was a skittish pony primed to bolt.
I was exactly that.I opened the door, heedless of the noise it’d make, and beelined for my shoes by the front door.
His presence loomed behind me.He’d followed me out, but I couldn’t look at him.That didn’t stop me from picturing his rumpled sexiness.The shirt he’d worn last night that made his eyes bright and teased me with how wide his shoulders were was probably untucked.His hands were likely stuck in his pockets as he watched me.Tall, straight.So very much here.
I managed to get one athletic shoe on a bare foot.I danced around, wrestling with the other.When that was done, I gripped the handle of the door.“I’m sorry.”
The floor creaked as he took a step.I whipped open the door and swept down the porch stairs.I didn’t pause when I got to my car.I started it and pulled away.From the corner of my eye, I saw him leaning in the open door.His strong body propped against the doorframe.Exactly how I’d pictured.
My hands clenched the wheel as I drove.I didn’t go home right away.I went to the only place I could seek solace.
I parked in my usual spot and ignored the early morning chill that was still around this time of year.Dewy grass kissed my shoes as I strode to my target.Five headstones in, two to the right from the flare of the dirt path that allowed me to park without being in anyone’s way.
I didn’t stop until I was facing a reddish-brown granite headstone that readDerek Barron.
Dropping to my knees, tears streamed down my face.“Derek.”My ragged cry cut through the early morning peace.“Something happened.”
