weren’t sitting in the living room waiting on me. As I push the door
open I see them exactly as I expected: On the couch watching a movie.
David was first to offer a greeting, smug as it was. “Nine
thirty’s pretty early for a date,” he mused.
“Just shut up, asshole,” I reply as I barrel down the hall
to my bedroom.
I can’t get into my room fast enough, and as I run the hot
bath I peel my clothes and admire my fading rope prints. I stare into the
mirror and smile. I am definitely hooked.

This morning I was surprised to see that I have no marks
left on my body, at least not which would show. I did, however, realize I just
had the best night’s sleep in years. Even hearing Melanie and David in the
other room didn’t seem to carry that same level of annoyance. Nevertheless, I waited
until I heard the door close before I ventured out of my room. The last thing I
wanted to deal with was those two.
As I padded down the hall the front door opened.
“Elizabeth?” Melanie called. “Found this on your car this
morning.”
“Thanks,” I said, grabbing the envelope and shoving it in my
pocket.
“Is it from Dr. Wonderful?” she said with a tinge of
sarcasm.
“I don’t know. Thanks.”
“Aren’t you going to read it?” she asked.
“Later. Thanks, Melanie.”
She finally got the message, and from the stupid look on her
face she didn’t approve. Doesn’t matter. She wouldn’t understand anyway.
After the door closed once again I pulled it from my robe pocket and opened it.
Sorry about last night. Had surgery at six this morning.
Be at the food court in the mall on Saturday at 1:30 P.M.

He didn’t need to explain; in fact I didn’t expect it.
Still, it warmed my heart, and suddenly made all the suspense worthwhile. As I
sipped my coffee I realized… I’m wet again.

Semper Fi
She wouldn't even be in the predicament if it weren't
for Travis. A phone call in the middle of the night to ask for a "free
pass" from her boyfriend of 7 1/2 years was hard to take seriously. When
he doesn't get the answer he wanted, his drunken stupor is all it takes to tell
her via text message that it's over. That's enough to irritate Mattie into
flying home to deal with him.
However, bad weather grounds her flight out of
Washington leaving her stranded in the airport all night with one other
passenger... Logan McNarry.
Ordinarily, she wouldn't even think of speaking to
him, but Travis' unexpected break up was just the opportunity she needed to
seek passion in the arms of another man.
All this leads up to the predicament that Mattie must
face. Choosing the safe, steady life already mapped out, or chasing the love
and passion one only stumbles upon once in a lifetime.
