"Caleb look, I thought I made myself clear last night. There's nothing else to say. So what are you doing here?"
"You may have had your say last night, but I didn't. You rushed out without giving me a chance to explain."
"That's because there is nothing to explain," Marla said quickly. "Really Caleb, you don't owe me an explanation about anything. I told you, what has transpired between us will remain our secret."
"What if I don’t want it to remain a secret? … Look Marla, there's more to what happened between us than sex. I know it. And you know it too," he said, his eyes resting on her breasts as they jiggled beneath the robe with every movement she made.
Trying to ignore his fixated gaze, Marla protested, "Well I want what's happened between us to remain a secret. There's nowhere for us to go after … after … well, you know. So, there's no sense in having anybody know about it."
Moving to stand directly in front of her, Caleb put a hand on each one of her shoulders. She could feel the warmth of his palms through the silk of her short robe. Caleb dipped his head and took a deep breath in the nook between her shoulder and neck.
"You smell so good," he said, breathing in deeply again to inhale the scent of her.
His breath fanned out on her skin, sending spindles of pleasure racing to every corner of her body.
"Don't tell me there's nothing between us when your body betrays you like it's doing right now he said softly into her left ear. I've barely touched you, and I’m about to explode right now … and you are too," he finished, his finger running over the throbbing vein at one side of her neck.
Damn him!
Marla stepped out of the circle of passion he'd created around them in hopes of cooling her blood. He was right, she was throbbing with need -- from the core of her womanhood to the root tips of every strand of hair on her head.
Swallowing to create moisture in her dry windpipes, she began, "Just … just because we're sexually compatible, it doesn't mean …"
"It doesn't mean what, Marla?" Caleb interjected. "That we won't be compatible in other ways? That because the way we met precludes us from having anything more than a sexual relationship?"
Was he right? Could there be a future for them in spite of their past, or would she be making a mistake with another man all over again that could cost her years of her life?
