I think of her wild curls and feel a wave of emotion so strong that I can’t speak. I slide down the pillows and cover my face with my arm.
“Mack…”
“Go away.” I’m struggling to stay in control. “Please.”
Huxley hesitates, then says softly, “All right.”
Vic gets up and puts the bottle on the bedside table, then moves the rubbish bin next to the bed. “Just in case.”
I don’t say anything.
“If it was your fault, you should say you’re sorry,” she says. Then she walks out. Huxley follows, closing the door behind her.
I down the whisky in my glass in one, roll over, pour another couple of inches in, and roll back.
I can’t work out what emotion is most powerful—anger, disappointment, or hurt. I know I’m drunk because I can’t get my brain to work.I was paid to come here and take photographs of your work.By whom? I don’t have any enemies as such. But there’s a lot of money in creating the fastest supercomputer in the country. My work is valuable, and deep down I’m not shocked to know that someone is willing to pay for details of the hardware we’re coming up with at Koru Tech.
I am shocked that Sidnie was the one they chose to do it.
Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I study the screen. Several messages, none from Sidnie. I open my photos and choose the one I took of the poem she dropped in my office.
Obsession.
What a fucking appropriate title. This girl has burrowed her way into my brain, and I can’t get her out. I doubt even a whole can of insect killer sprayed into my ear would shift her.
I touch myself as I think of you.
The nape of your neck, your clean-shaven jaw,
Your lips claiming mine the way you like to do,
Demanding, taking, sugar-sweet,
Your tongue, sliding against mine in its beautiful dance,
Your hands, stroking my skin, cupping my breasts,
Your hot mouth on my nipples,
Sucking, fingers plucking.
My fingers slide through my swollen folds,
I’m so wet for you, baby,
Aching for that feeling when you enter me,
I want you inside me,
Now,
Stretch me, fill me up, to the brim,
Ride me hard and fast…
Oh God…
I’m coming…
