said softly, not looking up at him.
He chuckled, a note of surprise in his voice. “And here I thought that you were getting tired of me. Don't worry. I'll get back here as soon as I can, and that is a promise.”
He tilted her chin up for a gentle kiss, and then with the roar of propellers, he was gone.
At first, there was a kind of relief in being on her own. She had spent a great deal of her life solitary, and as much as she had enjoyed his company, it was a little strange to her. She practiced her violin, she made herself some food, she watched some television, but those activities took far less time than she had thought. By the time it was sundown, she was bored and restless, wondering if she should have gone with him after all.
Olivia lay in her bed, playing with her phone before finally giving in to temptation.
Are things going all right?
She was nearly dozing when her phone chirped at her.
Just got out of meetings. It'll be another full day tomorrow, but after that, I'll be back around sundown. Are you all right?
She chuckled a little. She wasn't sure that she had ever had anyone worry after her the way he was doing. On one hand, it was strange, but there was a part of her who reached for it, that seemed to long for it in a way that she couldn't quite understand.
Calm down, of course everything is fine. I didn't even go out on the swing like I was thinking of …
There was a pause.
If you tell me that you got on that swing alone on a goddamn mountain top, I really will tan your hide!
That made her laugh, sending a warm feeling through her.
Relax! I'm reckless, not dumb. All I've done today is play music and watch television. I would have been thrilled for a day like this back when I was busking, but right now … I guess it feels a bit empty.
She paused for a moment.
I miss you, she texted, before she could stop herself. She resisted the urge to throw the phone away. It felt like too much, simply too much to offer to him. Before she could turn off her phone in embarrassment, he responded.
I miss you as well. Tell me something we can do when I see you next. I want something to look forward to in those meetings tomorrow.
She thought for a moment.
Well, I'm looking forward to you making me food, and perhaps you can feed it to me the way that you did before …
She could imagine him laughing, those dark eyes crinkling up with amusement.
Go on. That sounds enticing. And before you think I am being sarcastic, let me tell you that these meetings are awful.
And I wouldn't mind taking another hike with you …
That's promising …
She took a deep breath. Her fingers were trembling, but she knew that if she couldn't type it out for him here that she certainly couldn't say it out loud to him.
And I want you to make love to me.
There was a long pause this time, and she felt her stomach turn over. She wondered if she had overstepped herself. Had she made herself look cheap or foolish? What if he was showing the phone to his companions, laughing at what a needy girl he had waiting for him in his mountain retreat …
Little songbird, nothing would give me more pleasure. But before you do this, I want you to be sure.
This time there was no hesitation.
I am sure, she typed. I am lying in bed right now, and all I can think of is you. I feel like I'm going to go crazy until we meet again. I need you, and I know you want me. I don't want to wait any more.
This time, his pause was even longer.
Darling … think about this. Think about it until I get back to that mountain. If at any point, you think you are unsure, tell me. Because the night I walk off the plane, I will be coming to you, and unless you tell me no, I will not be stopped. Do you understand?
She shivered, thinking about how dark his eyes became when he wanted her and how powerful he was. She couldn't resist him if she tried, but the idea of trying to resist him was not something that she could understand, not now, perhaps not ever. She wanted
