Billie
is right. My position is untenable. In his eyes I must be the worst
kind of slut. Ahead lies only more misunderstanding and pain for both
of us. The pain has already begun, a physical ache. It fills my
chest. I can never tell him the truth. In his mind I will always be
his bad romance. Lady Gaga singing, ‘I want your ugly. I want your
disease.’
‘I’m
sorry, but I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement,’ I say, with the
full knowledge that without the truth he will always despise me. I lean
back in my chair feeling soiled. I will never again be clean in his
eyes. And there is not a damn thing I can do about it. The waiter
returns with more whiskey.
‘I know you’re angry but—’
‘Shut the fuck up. You have no idea,’ he grates through gritted teeth.
I
close my mouth. I have never seen him so openly angry. He is always
so controlled, so smooth. Even when he was once angry with someone on
the phone his fury was so tightly leashed, so frighteningly quiet that I
stood stock still behind the door listening.
He
shoots his whiskey aggressively, and turning the empty glass on its
edge rolls it on the tablecloth. ‘Do you want more food?’
I shake my head miserably. This is turning out to be nothing like I imagined.
A muscle in his jaw twitches. He calls for the bill.
Someone in a suit comes rushing to his side. ‘Is anything the matter?’ he enquires worriedly.
‘Everything is fine.’ He looks at me hard and deep.
‘But your main course…’
Blake does not take his eyes off me. ‘I have unfinished business to take care of, Anton.’
I
flush badly and Anton slips away with impressive speed from that which
has nothing to do with him. Another waiter, his face schooled into
impassive professionalism, comes bearing the bill. Blake signs for it,
unfolds himself out of his chair and comes to stand by me. I get to my
feet and he leads me out of the restaurant. We do not touch except for
his hand splayed on the small of my back. Possessive, the way only a
husband’s hand should be.
Not
a word is spoken by either of us in the car, but every cell in my body
is responding to his nearness. My desire for him is such that my hands
are clenched tight against my thighs and my sex is actually throbbing.
In fact, the need is so excessive it is almost violent. I sneak a look
at him. He is staring ahead, the chiseled cheekbones like stone, but
that muscle in his throat is ticking like a time bomb. I know that
tick. It tells me what he cannot, how hard and deep he wants to fuck
me. He is well and truly snared inside his bad romance.
‘What happened to all the clothes I left behind?’ I ask in the lift.
‘You
enquire about last season’s fashions? What about the people you left
behind, Lana? Why don’t you enquire about them? Me for instance.’
‘How have you been, Blake?’
‘You’re just about to find out,’ he replies with a nasty grin.
