“Can I ask you something?” It's taken everything in me to be patient enough for Janice to put her purse down. Weariness is etched across her face from a long night of work. She doesn't look like she wants to talk, but she's the only one who I think might understand the way that Lucian feels.
I should be content with the fact that he called me this afternoon. We only spoke briefly over the phone, but it made a big difference in how I feel about our relationship. He's doing his best to show that he cares, that I'm not just some fling to him. Still, the fact that he won't leave Flesh is gnawing at me like an unpredictable wild animal that might tear me apart at any moment.
I'm doing my best to accept that he needs Flesh, but the woman in me just doesn't want to allow it. Even though I do want him, I never wanted this warped relationship. Knowing that he touches other women, that he sees them naked, it makes me feel sick to my stomach. Besides, my mind keeps flitting back to our scene. He put his hands on me in a very sexual way, even when he was giving me the Flesh treatment. Does that mean he touches them the same way? If he does, it's just as good as cheating.
“I'm tired, Amy.” Janice wrinkles her forehead.
“I'll try not to take up too much of your time.” I give her a pleading look. If I don't discuss this with her, I probably won't sleep all night.
“Are you sure it can't wait until tomorrow?” She sits down on the sofa beside me and starts taking off her pink and white sneakers.
