Chapter Twenty-Seven

Saylor

“Saylor? Are you with me?” Danielle’s voice interrupts my thoughts, drawing me back to the present. “You seem a little distracted today. Everything okay?”

That’s because I am distracted. I woke up this morning with Lochlan’s arm banded around my waist. The second I moved, he moved with me. As if his body was aware of mine, even in sleep. He’d tightened his hold, which did nothing for my overinflated bladder, and tugged me closer. I’d felt his arousal, hard and pressed against my ass. It made my head fuzzy and my stomach twist, but in a way I liked. My brain has been working overtime since my eyes opened, analyzing every interaction I’ve had with the guys over the past month. All the little things I’ve put off thinking about because I knew the moment I did, worry and indecision would swamp me.

“Sorry. I’m good, just have a lot on my mind.” I smile, but Danielle isn’t buying it. She’s made a career out of reading people and studying the way the mind works. I’m not fooling her or myself.

“Is there something you’d like to talk about?” I weigh my options. I could always bring up something completely different and hope she drops it, but Danielle is also the only other person I speak with and she might be able to help me work through the riot of emotions I’m experiencing.

“In cases like mine, do the women eventually want intimacy? Do they find normalcy?” I bite my lip nervously as I wait for Danielle to respond.

“I wish I could give you a straightforward, yes or no answer, Saylor, but that simply isn’t possible.” Her placating smile is slightly frustrating. “Like I’ve said before, there is no right or wrong way to move forward after experiencing something like you, and sadly many others, have. I can say that, based on the information I have, there are cases far worse than yours and those women are thriving. They’ve gone on to marry and have children, but that doesn’t mean it was an easy journey to get to that point.

“But there are also cases that aren’t nearly as traumatizing as yours and they struggle every day just to get out of bed. Everyone responds differently. The only thing I can suggests is that no matter what it is—school, job, relationships—make sure you’re doing it because you want to. Not because you think it will help you move on. Constantly check in with yourself and make sure you’re doing things for you.”

“Okay.” I nod, mulling over what she said, but it’s hard when I honestly don’t know what I want.

“Is there someone in particular that’s brought on this line of questioning?” Danielle asks, her eyes kind and free of judgement.

“No.” I shake my head because it’s not someone. It’s multiple someone’s, and though I might be sexually delayed, even I know it isn’t normal to have feelings for five men at the same time. It’s not just attraction, there’s more between us than that, but it’s definitely prominent.
