Dina
By the next day, Maggie seems much better. After
work I am relaxing in a bubble bath with my Jacuzzi tub jets running when my
phone rings. It is Ryder.
"Hey, misterman." I answer.
"Hello, beautiful! It’s good to hear your voice after phone tag
yesterday. What are you doing this evening?"
Well, we are on the phone and I am feeling brave so
I answer in almost a whisper, "I am in the bath tub, covered in nothing
but bubbles, relaxing, thinking of how I wish it were you covering me
instead."
He is quiet
for a moment. I think I hear a low growl from him.
With his voice deeper than I have ever heard before,
"Damn, Dina you are killing me over here. Oh how I wish I was there. I
would be happy to wash your back for you."
I smile and
add, "Just my back, huh, what about my front?"
I hear him groan, "Oh baby, you don't want to
start something, you can't finish."
I stay quiet for just a brief moment, "Ryder, I
will be glad to start and finish anything with you, anytime, anywhere. The
question is am I what you really want?"
There I said
it, now am I really ready for an answer?
He then shocks me to my core with his admission,
"Dina, it’s been you and only you I have wanted since the first night I
met you at the restaurant. Since the night we found you at the bottom of the
stairs, when I beat the shit out of that bastard, I haven't been with anyone. I
have been waiting for you to get over that situation and feel comfortable and
safe again."
He pauses and
sighs, but continues, "Dina, you are one of a kind special. I am far from
a perfect man, I am not even a good man, but for you and because of you I want
to be. I have treated women wrong in the past; I have used them, lead them on,
and dumped them in some harsh ways. I have never laid a hand on a woman, but I
have left some completely and unintentionally broken, and for that I am
sorry. I don't want to lead you on or
treat you wrong. I want to be your safe place, Dina. I never want to see you
sad, or hurt. I want to hold you close and call you mine in all ways for
always. Baby, I have messed up big time in my past and I am paying for it even
now. I don't deserve someone as strong and beautiful as you. I have tried to
stay away from you, but you just draw me in. When you look at me, I feel like
you can see the potential and goodness inside me. One kiss from you, is enough
to make me weak in the knees. Dina, I want to see what we can make of the
electricity between us.”
He sighs, “I wish I was there, I didn't want to do
this by phone."
I take a moment because I don't know what to say.
Finally, I stammer through, "Ryder, you mean so much to me. You saved me
when I was at my lowest. I want to see what we can make of us. I won't lie, I
am scared, but I trust you with my insecurities. I trust you with every part of
me. My body craves your touch, Ryder; my mind craves your conversation, and my
heart craves your safety. I trust you, Ryder, to help restore me."
I hear a voice in the
background, then Ryder says, "Oh baby you have just made the whole
situation here so much better. I would love nothing more than to tell you
exactly how I would wash every inch of your body, but I have to go, I am
needed. I will call you tomorrow. I will see you as soon as I can get back home
and we will make this work, Goodnight, my sunshine." Before I can respond,
he is gone.
About
the Author
Chelsea Camaron was born
and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern
Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina
day dreaming. Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let
fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was
going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her
own advice. Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from
that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which
just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading
has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in
the works. When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing
with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of
her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any
movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in. She hates being serious and is
still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and,
Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to
embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the
simple things in life and how to always have fun.
