Taking his fingers out of me, he sucked on them, “You’re so sexy when you come.”
“You’re a bad influence. I just came in a restaurant,” I said.
“You loved it Stella.”
He’s right, I did.
“Can we talk about something else?” I said.
“What made you become a writer?” Jamie asked.
“I always loved writing stories in college. I just started writing, and I loved the fantasy world of it.”
“I enjoy being in control of characters and their stories.”
“I know you’ve always liked to have control, so it makes sense.”
“Yes, I’ve always been the one in control until I met you.”
“You are definitely in control, Stella. If you ended things I’d be broken.”
“Not true. You’d stalk me until I gave in.”
“I would not,” he laughed. “Yes, you’re right. I would. I can’t stay away from you.”
“I’m going to go to my room, Jamie. Thank you for dinner. I really do like you, but this is all too much for me.”
“Stella, don’t go.”
I ran my hand down his face, feeling his stubble under my fingertips, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” I want to stay, but I can’t. “Goodnight, Jamie.”
“Stella, I’m asking you to stay.”
I smile sadly and turn and walk away.
I walked back to my hotel room, walked in, and headed straight to the bathroom and got undressed, putting the hotel bathrobe on. I was going to have a drink and go to bed. Today was emotionally exhausting.

CHAPTER 10
JAMIE
Every time we get close, she freaks out. I run my hands through my hair, feeling lost. I love her, but I think she may be right. She may not be capable of more than sex. I honestly thought dinner would be no big deal. I was wrong, so very wrong. She is everything I want. Why am I attracted to such an unattainable woman? I didn’t mean to fall for her. I didn’t set out for this to happen. I was attracted to her. I thought it would be one and done. I’d never need to go back a second time. One-night stands are exactly that. One night stands. She does something to me. Once would never have been enough. I needed more. Then, before I knew what was happening, I was falling in love with her. Damn it. Now I’m losing her. She’s slipping right through my fingers. I need to go see her and contain her freak out before she’s really gone. I grabbed my room key and made my way to the elevator.
Stepping out onto her floor, I take a deep breath. I walk a few feet and I’m at her door knocking, then I hear voices.
“No. Just ignore it.”
What the fuck? Who is she talking to?
“Well, let’s just see who it is.”
“No. Don’t. Just let him go away.”
The door opens and I’m staring at Chase in his underwear. I looked behind him and Stella was standing in a bathrobe. I stared at her with pained eyes. My world is crashing down around me. I cannot believe my eyes. She fucked him. It feels like all the air has escaped my lungs.
“Jamie. No. It’s not what it…”
