At some point, the pleasure started to feel like pain.
Wanting Elizabeth to touch me when it felt like I may die because of it was masochistic.
“Do you want to turn around? I could do your chest.” Her voice was filled with the playful flirtation I dreamed of. Or imagined.
“No.” The word came out clipped and fast. I couldn’t look at her. She’d see the flush of my cheeks, the craving in my eyes. I didn’t need her to see that. Not at all.
Her hands pressed against my lower back, sliding down to my sides where her fingers applied a pressure that nearly had me combusting.
“That’s enough.” I panicked and shifted away ever so slightly. My heart raced, and my thoughts were fuzzy. I could not do this with my intern.No. No. No.“Luis should take you home now. It’s getting late, and you need to be in the office bright and early with those corrections.”
“Um…” She stumbled on her words. The mattress dipped as she moved away. “Okay.”
I wouldn’t dare look up. Never in my life had I felt this way. I didn’t know I could feel this way.
As soon as she was out of the room and I was sure I’d heard the door close, I hopped up and sat upright. I grabbed my glasses off the bedside table and put them on so everything could come into focus. Maybe it would help focus my brain too.
The pain in my back had been helped by the meds and her surprising set of skills, but it still threatened to return.
I had to take more medication and sleep it off. But not in these jeans. I undid my pants.
Elizabeth burst back into the room. “Lincoln, I’m sorry if I—”
“Elizabeth!” My hands frantically wrenched the zipper up. I spun around. My skin burned. My chest tightened. Everything was impossibly hot.
“Sorry!” she yelled, and swung the door closed with a loud bang.
I collapsed onto the bed and remained there unmoving, wondering how difficult it may be to find a new job and never return to my old one.
“I wasn’t expecting you,” Claire said when I walked into Rose and William’s apartment. “You’re usually running or working extra hours no one’s asked for.”
“Took a personal day” was all I said. They didn’t need to know that I was scared of seeing Elizabeth after yesterday. Mixed in with that anxiety was knowing Lily was scared of seeing me. I needed a distraction. “How can I help?”
There were keyrings, stickers, coupons for theOverpowervideo game, and themed T-shirts scattered across the floor. Rose sat in the center with a bunch of gift bags.
“For me?” Rose glanced upward. “You’ve never taken off work for any reason. I won’t flatter myself into thinking it was to come over and get a head start onOverpowerpromo.”
“Does it matter why I’m here? Or does it only matter that I’m here and your bags will get packed?” I sat on the edge of the circle, and Rose tossed a bag at me.
Claire’s eyes narrowed. “William said you two were playingDotAall night. Which is why he’s still asleep. You don’t have kids, you should be asleep.” Her expression turned to concern. “Something’s off. Are you sick?”
