Thunder on a Stormy Night
I’m dying to tell him the truth. Of course I am. Lying to this guy is like
peeling off my skin, layer by layer. But if I tell him? It will be the end.
Not just of ‘us’, but of the delicate tightrope I must walk. Maybe even
the end of me. The secret I carry is not just my own: all the people I love
most are wrapped up in its silence and so I hold onto it earnestly, even when
I would wish to divulge the truth of who and what I am.
But I don’t.

I sit across from him, watching the way his hair flops forward a little
over his brow as he reaches for his coffee, already his fourth despite the fact
it’s still early in the day; the way his symmetrical, determined face scans
The Guardian on his Tablet, taking in the facts printed and those that aren’t.
The way his lips curl with that particularly derisive scowl of his as he sees
one of his business rivals appear on the pages.
And I imagine how it would feel if he looked at me like that. If his eyes
filled with that legendary coldness and he turned that famously ruthless
disdain on me.
Alex isn’t an ordinary man. He didn’t get to own one of the biggest tech
companies in the world by being compassionate and patient. He’s rough.
And he’s demanding. Impossibly determined to get what he wants, and
from the minute he saw me, he made it obvious he wanted me. I was his
latest obsession and he hunted me mercilessly, in that way he has that
makes it almost impossible to say no.
I could have though, and a part of me wanted to. I saw danger in Alex
from the first moment I met him, and I’m usually very good at avoiding
danger (I’ve learned to be, naturally). It’s not his darkness that terrifies me
though, but how much I crave it—how much I crave him.
He knows nothing about me beyond the construct I have allowed him to
see and now I find I want him to know all of me. The real me. It defies
logic and it breaks every rule we’ve agreed to. Sex and no-strings is the
promise we’ve made and there are so many strings around the truth of my
being that I am tied into a thousand knots.
Could he unravel me? Would he want to?
A curse fills my mind, tearing through me like thunder on a stormy
night.
