Chapter 09

KATE

The taxi stopped in front of my apartment. I just needed my bed. I entered after paying the driver, and it was still raining, and I guessed it wouldn't stop anytime soon. I climbed the stairs to the door and opened it, hoping not to find anyone in the living room. I was lucky.

I entered my room, closing the door behind me and leaning against it. I took a deep breath. I just wanted some peace and tranquillity, but it was impossible with him on my mind.

I undressed from my dress and shoes and lay down. I wanted to sleep the rest of Saturday. I curled up and covered myself with the sheet. I tried to push all the memories away, squeezing my eyes shut. But his face was vivid in my mind—his mouth, his hands. Damn it. I felt like kissing him, feeling his strong touch. His firm hands on my body.

Why the hell did I desire to be with someone I had spent just one night with? Someone I had just met? I wanted to forget him, but at the same time, I wanted to be with him. To sleep with him.
