Excerpt
Hendrix didn’t
strike me as ridiculous. Or impulsive. Or silly.
Why on earth,
then, would he believe that there could be something worth seeking out with me?
If that’s what he meant at all. Which...he did, didn’t he?
It’s confusing,
and confusion makes me hide, on the whole. But since I can’t hide because I’m
the fucking teacher in this class—seriously, how did this happen?—and for some
reason the educator is expected to stay present, I find my confusion turning to
anger. It works itself through me until the beauty of our night together is
cropped out of my memory and what’s left is trite and fleeting. His presence
feels nothing like flattery—which it did feel flattering, admittedly, for a
half second there in the midst of everything else. Now, though, it just feels
invasive and unprofessional and mean.
Perhaps I’d
confront him about it, if I were a different sort of person, one who isn’t
afraid to stand up to a challenge. One who isn’t afraid to live her life.
But I’m not that
sort of person, so after I give out the assignments and send the students on
their way, I plan to gather my things and get on my way as soon as possible, so
fond of hiding that I am. I was stupid enough to believe—or perhaps hopeful is
the better term—that Hendrix would let me do that, as he’d let me leave that
night in Paris, not that I’d given him a choice.
He doesn’t,
though, of course. Of course. He
approaches me, his leather camera bag slung over his shoulder, a man satchel
underneath.
“Camilla,” he
says in that American accent that makes me both cringe and swoon all at once,
and for the briefest of moments I find myself considering something different
for a change. I consider staying.
But underneath my
long sleeve polo neck, my skin throbs with an intensity that equals the blaring
of a car alarm, and I think of Fred waiting for me at home to take him out for
ice cream and the dead husband who hurt me as much as he loved me and the
ugliness that marks me inside and out. And in the chaos of those thoughts,
there is no option to stay.
“You being here
is in bad taste,” I say before he has a chance to say anything else. “Don’t do
this to me.”
I brush past him
then, and with the heat of that brief contact following me in radiating waves,
I rush outside to disappear among the Saturday-morning Londoners who are out
enjoying the early signs of spring.
About Laurelin
With millions of
books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal
and USA Today Bestselling Author. She is a sucker for a good romance and gets
giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three
daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t
reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Killing Eve,
or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa
International though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use
it as material for her bio.
