She clings to me, her nails digging into my shoulders as she rides out her orgasm, and I smile. I kiss her as we both try to catch our breath, and then I set her on her feet and situate her under the water.
“What now?” She asks me.
“Now, I take care of you,” I tell her as I grab my shampoo and wash her hair.
“And then what?”
“Then I see if I can dirty you up all over again.”
She grins at me over her shoulder, and I smile as I do exactly what I told her I would do.

Yesterday was incredible. Fisher and I spent the whole day together, most of it in bed together. He had gone with me back to the Sanctuary to help me take care of the wolves and then we had ordered take out and gone back to his motel room.
Now though, I’m starting to panic.
I mean, we haven’t really talked about anything. At least nothing about the future. I went from seeing the house listings to jumping into bed with him.
Oh my gosh. What have I done? What if the house listings was some kind of ploy to get me to sleep with him. He doesn’t seem like that kind of guy, but what experience do I really have? How many times have I seen people in town sleep with tourists only to get their heart broken when they leave a few days later?
My stomach drops and I stare at the motel ceiling.
I slept with Fisher. I slept with him, and he’s about to pay me a million dollars and leave town. What was I thinking?
Clearly, I wasn’t and that scares me. I’m the girl who thinks everything through. I look at it from every angle, but I didn’t do that here with Fisher. For the first time, I followed my heart instead of my head and now I’m terrified that I’ve made a mistake.
I look over at him. He’s still fast asleep next to me and he looks so happy, so peaceful.
Last night and again this morning was incredible. We both passed out after the last time, but now that the sun is up and I’m thinking more clearly, I’m wondering what the heck I’m supposed to do now.
I should leave. I should get out of here before he wakes up and I have to talk to him.
I sneak out of his bed and gather up my clothes, getting dressed as I watch him, but he doesn’t so much as stir as I pull open the door, take one last look at him, and slip out of the room.
During the drive home, all I can think about is Fisher and how I feel about him. I was trying so hard not to fall for him, but somewhere over the three dates, that’s exactly what I did. Now, I don’t know what to do with those feelings. I’ll need to talk to him eventually, but first, I need to figure out what I want.
I pull into the sanctuary and head inside to change. I’ll go work with the wolves. That always clears my head, and then I can figure everything out.
I grab an apple and then head out and hop on the four-wheeler. I take a few bites as I look out over the land. What am I going to do about Fisher? I can’t leave this place. I refuse to. So, do I propose a long-distance relationship? How long will that work before one or both of us get tired? How long before we get too busy and start talking less and less? How long before he moves on?
I take off down the path, scanning the property. The wolves are closer to the house this morning, and I smile as I greet them and start my day. I check over all of the wolves and take the first few to the training ring.
It’s there that Fisher finds me.
He walks up to the ring, and I swallow hard. I let the wolves out and walk to face him. I don’t feel quite ready to have this conversation, but I’m not sure that I ever will be.
“Hey,” he says, and I take a deep breath.
“Hi.”
“Why’d you run out? I would have come with you back here.”
“I… I can’t be with you,” I blurt out.
“Why not?” He fires back, and I look away from him and over to the wolves.
