Her Collateral Bride: A Lesbian Age Gap Romance - Page 122

about? What Claire had done felt spontaneous, and it was too

much for her. The emotion was too much, the intimacy, but

Haley was sure she’d felt it too.

Claire was so used to hardness, maybe what she needed was

something soft. The element of surprise. Maybe she needed to

be shown and guided to that place where she could be out of

control for once.

Haley had sworn that she wouldn’t go into Claire’s bedroom

or office without her permission again, but she was going to

break her own oath to herself. She would never get through to

Claire in the way she needed by keeping her own heart safe.

She was going to have to take the risk and just hope like crazy

it worked.

Chapter 14

Claire

Claire was working at her desk, her fingers flying over the

keys of her laptop even though her mind was elsewhere, as it

often was. She was distracted by thoughts of Haley, and since

she was at college, it was extra annoying. She wasn’t even in

the house, but Claire still felt her presence. Having the woman

share the same house was one of the worst ideas she’d ever

had. It had done a number on her body and her sanity. There

were still five months left to go in the agreement, and she was

more than tempted to tear that stupid contract up and send

Haley home where she belonged.

The thought of her leaving made Claire’s heart miss more

than a beat. It made it feel like there was something wrong

with the organ altogether. The kind of wrong that needed to be

looked at by a specialist because it felt a little bit like she was

dying. She was unfamiliar with the feeling.
