when he felt her stiffen as he attempted to pull her jacket away.
What was wrong with her? Was she destined to lose all control every time she was around this man? She felt the cold wind on her back and felt his warm hands on her skin. To be honest with herself she didn’t want to stop. She could just imagine making love to Aaron here in the cold sand on her beach, under the stars.
“ I can’t. I just can’t. Please Aaron, let me go.” she looked into his eyes and could see that they were still clouded with desire.
She was sure a physical relationship with him would be pleasure, but she truly wanted more. She was not sure at this moment what she really wanted and until she was, she needed more time to think.
“ Games again Lacey?” he smiled down at her, trying to make light of the fact that he was still not in control of himself.
He felt and saw the change building in her, and pulled back before he got scorched.
“ I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.” he started.
“ I don’t know who you think you are,” she started and pulled herself away to sit down on the log again.
She tucked her knees close to her body with her arms wrapped around them tightly. “I don’t play games. You follow me around and paw at me in front of everyone.”
“ Wait a minute Lacey,” he said as he sat down next to her running his hands through his hair. “I haven’t been following you around like some sort of dog.” With these words, Bernard set his paw on Aaron’s knees.
“You must think very highly of yourself if you believe that.” He tried to keep his anger in check.
She saw the truth in his eyes and instantly felt sorry that she could accuse him of something so stupid. But then what did she really know about him? Oh, she knew of his type and had made a point of staying clear of men like Aaron. She glanced over at him as he struggled with his anger and her wet dog. He was easy enough to get along with, but he had yet to open himself up to her. Did she really want just a physical relationship with him or was there something more?
“ Listen Aaron, I’m sorry, I’ve just had a lot on my mind and I just don’t know what to make of you yet.” She reached down and threw Bernard’s stick to relieve Aaron of the wet doggie paws.
“One minute you’re setting me on fire and the next your cold as ice and going out of your way to piss me off.” She ran her hand through her hair in displeasure. “Can we just start over and try to be friends?” She watched his eyes focus on her face and then saw the quick smile which started in his eyes.
“No Lacey, I can’t just be your friend. I think we both know we want more than friendship.” He leaned over and gave her another quick kiss that had her toes curling.
Quickly, he stood up and pulled her up after him. “Come on, I’ll walk you two home.”
CHAPTER SEVEN
T he house was going to kill him, he thought, after multiple times of hitting his fingers, elbows, knees, and although it only happened once, his head. He would have thought he suffered enough for the place, but no. Now the “Beast,” as he liked to call it, had taken a chunk out of his pride and made him feel stupid.
Why couldn’t he figure out the damn electrical wires? He had aced medical school…aced it! But, why couldn’t he figure out where the damned green wire was supposed to be connected? Aaron sat looking at his recently purchased book, ‘ Home Wiring for Dummies ’ and thought he might as well be looking at a schematic for the space shuttle. There were pages loaded with black, white, and red wire information, but nothing, nothing on green wires.
Looking down at the lone green wire in his hand he started to question whether he was color blind. Did color blind people see red as green? He had always assumed they just saw everything in
