#Chapter 29: The Secretary
Abby
I get off at my stop and walk over to the restaurant. Just my luck. Karl is already standing outside with
my daily coffee in hand.
I take it from him, unable to meet his gaze. Partly from anger, partly from embarrassment. If he only
knew what I dreamed of last night. Knowing him, he’d probably love it. Then he’d suggest we make it
reality. And honestly, after my failed attempt with Adam last night, I’m not sure if I would refuse.
“I hate him,” I think to myself, indiscernibly shaking my head slightly and avoiding his gaze. “Don’t even
think about it. It was just a w et dre am, and nothing else. Those dreams can happen with anybody.”
Almost as though he’s reading my mind, Karl gives me a curious look, and I feel warmth rush to my
cheeks. His hair is the same as it was then, and the wind blows long strands of it down across his
forehead. I can almost see my fingers gripping on to it. The corner of his mouth twitches, but he doesn’t
smile.
“You, okay?” he asks. I force myself to look away.
“Fine,” I snap, letting the door fall shut behind me. He puts out a hand to stop it and follows me further
into the restaurant.
“You sure? You’re acting a little funny.”
“I said I’m fine.”
I stomp across the dining room and shove my way into the kitchen. I can hear him trailing after me, but
he keeps his distance, thank G od.
I close my office door and sink into my chair. What has gotten into me? One s tupid dream, and now I’m
embarrassed to talk to him. What am I, a twelve-year-old girl? He’s my ex-husband, and he hurt me.
Badly. He’s an as s hole. A manipulator. A male chauvinist. He’s… s exy. He knows me. He’s good in
bed.
I have to shake my head again to dispel the thoughts. Now isn’t the time to be giggling like an idiot
because I had one sex dream about him. And besides, I’m probably just misremembering what sex
with him was really like. It couldn’t have been that good… right?
Right. He’s awful.
I repeat it over and over until I’ve managed to shove the dream from my mind. I will not let my
subconscious trick me into letting him off the h ook. Good in bed or not, he’s got some serious groveling
