Am I jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Luke didn’t think so, but knew it was always a possibility. He liked Finn. More than liked, actually, now that he thought about it. Not that that factored into things. What was important was the fact Finn didn’t make him feel like a kid who needed someone to take care of him.
Jourdain gave off that vibe, whether he realized it or not. He wants to take me home and coddle me, even though he did go out of his way to find me a job. Coddle me, hell. He wants me as his lover, unless I’m reading things way wrong. And despite the fact I think he’s interesting, and sexy, I don’t think I want that with him. It would feel too much like paying him back for everything he’s done for me—even though he keeps saying that’s not the reason he’s helping me out.
