“I beg to differ Miss Paige. You’ll definitely be the one to drive me crazy. But I’ll give you time. I’m away for two weeks on business.”
“Two weeks?” Suddenly that sounded like forever.
“Two weeks. I’ll be back for the fundraiser.” He smiled. “Maybe you’ll be ready then.”
A part of me was ready now. I was, and I didn’t want to wait for two weeks to be with him. I almost changed my mind and gave into the carnal desire that threatened to push through. But I held back.
I did need time. Because of …
Because of Paul.
I was thinking of him. if I were truly ready to be with another man I wouldn’t have been thinking of Paul.
I needed the time because I hadn’t been able to let Paul go. I was still thinking of myself as being his, and I couldn’t be with anyone if I thought that way.
It wouldn’t be fair.
“Maybe.” I decided to say because I wanted him to know I did want him. I really did just need time.
Gee this would certainly be a tale to tell.
“Can I kiss you?”
I was touched he asked given minutes ago he was sucking my breasts. He didn’t need to ask for a simple kiss.
“Yes.”
A little flutter made its way through my stomach as a slow easy smile filled his face.
When he pressed his lips to mine I savored the kiss because I knew it would be two weeks before we did that again.
At least I was changing. The fact that I was looking forward to being with him showed I was changing, and just maybe I’d be readier when he came back.
Maybe.
