Dumbfounded, I walk toward my door, but then I pause.
I really want to be with him tonight. E_even though we don't go all the way, I want to spend the night next to him. Will it be selfish of me to ask for that? B_but I really don't think I'll be able to sleep if I'm not in his arms tonight. We can just share the same bed, no big deal.
Nothing has to happen.
Yeah, let's just do that.
I turn around again and walk towards his door only to pause there again.
What if he sees me as a desperate woman? I don't want him tothink of me like that.
I hate that I'm suddenly reminded of what Rowan had told me, that I become an easy woman whenever I'm desperate for sex.
I hate that.
I don't want Duke to see me that way.
Right now, to be honest, I'm not really asking for sex, I just— I just want warmth. His warmth.
Just companionship, nothing more.
