“It will be fine. I’m sorry. You’re right. I agreed to it.”
“Jamie, come back in here, please.”
“You’re both in the same hotel, so I assume I don’t need to book another room. You can decide where to write. I expect a brilliant book from you two.”
I nod.
“We will meet in a month to see how you’re progressing.”
Walking outside, Jamie takes my arm and stares into my eyes. “Stella, we’re going to write one hell of a book.”
I quip, “At what cost?”
“What do you mean?”
I roll my eyes at him, “Nothing. Let’s go write.”
We take a cab back to the hotel and neither of us say anything the entire way there. It was a silent thirty minutes. Heading up to his hotel room, his fingers ‘accidentally’ brush my hand. This time, I promise myself I will not give in. Damn if I don’t love it when he touches me. I’ve never had so much trouble resisting a man.
In the elevator, he puts his mouth to my ear, “Stella, it’s going to be so good.”
“What’s going to be good, Jamie?”
“The book, obviously.”
Right. I’m sure he was whispering in my ear about this damn novel. He opens the door and I go in and sit on the couch while he pours a glass of wine for both of us. I have a feeling that I’m going to need it. Sitting beside me, I feel his eyes burning into me.
“What?”
He smiles, “What do you want, Stella?”
“To write this novel so we can be done with this.”
“What do you want, Stella?”
“I already answered that question.”
He takes my wine glass and puts both on the coffee table. Pulling my hair, he puts his mouth on my ear, “What do you want, Stella?”
“Jamie, don’t.”
“You can’t handle it when I whisper in your ear, can you?”
“No.”
“My breath in your ear makes you crazy, doesn’t it?”
“Yes.”
Dragging his lips down my neck and back up again to my ear, “Why can’t you admit it, Stella?”
Breathlessly I say, “Admit what?”
“Admit you want me. Admit that the sex we’ve had is better than any sex you’ve ever had. Admit you love it. Admit you want me inside you right now.”
“Yes, it’s all true but I can’t.”
“Why? You have sex with other men. What makes me different?”
