I shouldn’t, but I want that too.
“Your burn is too intense for me, Corbin,” I whisper.
“Yeah, well, you’re the balm to my burn.”
I can’t be his rain.
I know what I have to do, but I’m here now.
So, I let myself have it. Just for tonight, I give up control and let him set the pace.
We don’t fuck; we make love. Slow, intimate, intense, sweet, and intentional love. It’s the best sex I’ve ever had.
And it scares the shit out of me.
Corbin
Something changed last night. I felt it, and I know Maxi felt it.
We fumble around the kitchen, avoiding eye contact as she makes coffee before I have to head off to work.
As I leave, I go to hug her, and she stiffens. I kiss her forehead and look down at her.
“Don’t forget about the fair. I’ll pick you up on Friday.”
“Okay,” she says.
“Maxi, look at me,” I command.
Her big brown eyes come to mine. I smile, and she relaxes in my hold.
“Go on. You’re going to be late,” she encourages.
I make my way to the door and look back at her. She shakes her head and grins.
There she is.
WhenI get home to shower and pack for my shift, I find my back door ajar.
I walk inside to find Susanna sitting in the recliner, facing the door.
“How did you get in here?” I ask.
“I have friends,” she says.
“Friends who break and enter?”
She snorts. “Locksmith friends who are happy to help me when I lose my keys while on vacation and can’t get into my house,” she retorts.
“I don’t have time for this,” I say as I make my way to my bedroom.
“Where the hell is all my stuff, Corbin?” she calls as she follows me.
“In the utility building.”
“I can’t believe you packed up my things,” she screeches.
“We broke up, Susanna. I figured you would want your shit.”
