I lay on my side in the hotel bed - sheet over my breasts, my back to him.
We lay there in the soft end of day light, a strangely warm end of winter breeze running over our skin, enjoying that ridiculous lust haze that envelops you in its embrace and pushes reality to the side.
He had missed me, he said. Missed being with me, missed talking to me, missed fucking me. Missed me in his life. I had initially melted at his words, but upon consideration I had rejected them - categorizing them as an over the top booty call, assuming it was the price he had felt he had to pay to get me to his hotel, to get my panties off.
I had viewed his words through the lens of my opinions about myself - categorizing his declaration as unbelievable, as a game. I am, after all, that girl you fuck, not that girl you miss.
He touched me softly as we lay there, hands on my arms, a light kiss on the back of my neck, a soft knuckle down my spine - creating a gentle and unexpected intimacy. He caressed me in a way that was not at all carnal and I marvelled with how good it felt to be touched without expectation, without agenda.
You scare me, he said softly.
I joked back at him: If you want me to stop jumping out at you from behind furniture, I will...
No, Kimberly, the way I feel about you scares me.
And there it was: both the thing I wanted the very most and the thing I wanted the very least.
There it was.
