Excerpt
ETHAN
This was hopeless. I was lost in her;lost in some stupid, naïve, childish dream. What the hell did she have in herthat none of the other women haven’t possessed? I was always in control. Always! She shattered my orderly lifeand turned my neatly composed world upside fucking down! This couldn’t behappening. This had to stop. I wasn’tlooking for any changes, for any altered way of living. But here came MissDifferent and kicked everything I so meticulously worked for to the curb.
I paced around my bedroom, swearingquietly under my breath, clenching and unclenching my jaw. I stopped by thewindow and deliberately looked at her. She appeared so soft and small, wrappedin that towel. So alone; all on her own out on that dock. Lonely…
Stop thatfucking nonsense! Ichastised myself. She’s a grown woman, not that sixteen-year-old Afghan orphan kid!
I sat heavily on my bed, my eyes squeezedshut, my head in my hands. But I wasn’t thinking of Najia. All my thoughts werewith Lisbeth. She wasn’t a child that needed protection, but a grown woman,although she needed protection too, and I offered it. Why couldn’t I simplyprovide only what I offered andnothing more? I had nothing more to give. Or did I?
Why would I want her for myself? Therewere dozens of willing women, waiting for one smile, one word from me;experienced women who knew what the guy like me desired. They were eager togive to me anything I ever required of them. They liked to serve me, to pleaseme, to satisfy all my sexual needs. She, on the other hand, was completelygreen, I was sure of that. I could sense it. Why would I even want to bother?She would probably just get scared off when she learned how I liked things inthe bedroom.
I got up to my feet and went to thewindow. Again. Fuck. She was a magnet, luring me, possessing me. Me, who hasnever succumbed to a woman’s charms for longer than a few nights. No matterthan I knew her only for two days. I already realized she was going to be myundoing—if I let her.
I turned my back to the window as anotherthought struck me. Maybe we should do it, to get that crazy attraction out ofour systems? Maybe that was only a freaky fascination? A whim? Hormones goingawry? What would she say to that? No, I didn’t want to. I knew better—shewasn’t like the others. I shouldn’t let her close to me.
