Only ten minutes had passed since the last time she had checked the time and in that ten minutes she had only read one page of Gabe’s edited manuscript. It wasn’t like her to be nervous before a date and definitely wasn’t like her to be anxious about any sexual activity that might take place during that date. Alec had left yesterday after agreeing to help her overcome the consequences of her rape only after she had promised to do whatever he said, no matter where they were or what he asked of her. Her dreams last night were filled with scenarios of different ways she and Alec could have sex, ways that had her waking up in damp arousal and forcing her to get herself off just to clear her head. Unfortunately, eight hours later she was still on pins and needles wondering what he had planned and whether she would enjoy it or be left frustrated and empty again. After instructing her to meet him at the dock at three o’clock this afternoon for an afternoon sail wearing only a sundress and panties he had simply left her to wonder what he had planned.
