and she felt like kicking herself. Just a few weeks ago, she didn’t think she would have ever met someone who could keep her so sexually satisfied and happy, but as her body grew sated, she wanted him in her life for more than just a sex toy.
“You saw the only family I have when you met my mother, but I can understand you feeling like I’m hiding you away. I just enjoy our time together when we’re alone, and I don’t want to share.”
It sounded like a good reason, and it had sounded good the first time she’d heard it too, but somewhere in the last few weeks, she started wondering if there were another reason he wouldn’t take her out in the light of day unless they were at a private picnic or a few hours away.
They looked like total opposites… her with her prairie skirts and him with his leather jacket and jeans. She was so proud to be with him, but she was beginning to believe the feeling wasn’t mutual. He still didn’t say anything, and she wished she’d never started this in the first place. She was going to ruin the most fun she’d had in a long while because she wanted more. They’d never talked about what this was, and she shouldn’t have a problem with this being a friends with benefits situation since that’s what he pretty much agreed he usually had. It was the other things that threw her off like the fact he texted her when he woke up and called her every night before she went to sleep. She knew that he worked nights, but his schedule was very irregular; She hadn’t a clue what kind of job he had, and she’d run through a good deal of them in her mind.
“Never mind, I’m just being weird. What are you up to tonight?”
“Don’t do that, Natalie. If you have a problem with something I’m doing, it’s okay to let me know,” he said, and she was delighted that she’d not ruined things. “You want to go out? I can do that. Where would you like to go?”
“There is a ballet tomorrow, and I have tickets.” She didn’t think it was his thing, but she still hoped that he’d go with her.
“If that’s where you want to go, then that’s where we’ll go. Do you want to go out to eat, too? I know a great restaurant.”
She knew he had a way to get to all the top restaurants in town, but she wanted to have a nice meal at her house. “No, I’ll make dinner, and then we can leave from here.”
“This sounds like a great idea, but you really think we should eat at your place before the ballet? We probably won’t make it out of the house.”
“We haven’t had plans to go anywhere before, so we usually eat and then continue our bedroom fun afterwards. I’ll make sure we have time to eat and that we’re out the door.”
“If you say so.”
“I do say so. This is going to be great.”
“Well, since we have such a big day tomorrow, how about I let you go, and I’ll be over tomorrow night early for dinner.” He was trying to get off the phone, but he didn’t sound displeased. It would have been easy to get out of that, but apparently he didn’t want to.
“Okay, then. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
When he got off the phone she lay there where she was and wondered why there was a nagging feeling that this may change things. She’d opened her mouth and told him what she’d been thinking, and he was going to do it. Problem solved, and she wasn’t going to sit here and fight with herself about it.
CHAPTER TEN
“Was it as bad as you thought it would be?” Natalie asked Jack who was wearing a fitted suit that, on him, looked like it should be on a runway in France. They had about twenty minutes until the intermission, and she knew that she shouldn’t have had so much wine with her dinner. For whatever reason, it made her have to go to the bathroom more than usual.
“I love being with you, and I love watching you enjoy yourself. Even if you’re enjoying the fact that the lead dancer is wearing
