Lana’s brows rose slowly. “Wait. Do you like him?”
“What are we, teenagers?”
“Oh, pardon me. I forgot we were adults. Do you want bang him?”
“He’s my boss, Lana!”
“That’s really not what I asked.” Lana swiveled around and lay on her stomach, resting her chin in her hand. ?
??Tell me. You must. You owe me for years of telling you all the details about my relationships.”
“I never asked. And there’s nothing to tell. He flirts, I told him to stop, he’s more professional now, and we… talked. That’s all.” April paused and twisted her fingers. “Also, he wants me to come on a business trip with him.”
“Ohhhh!”
“No! No ‘ohhhh!’ It’s for business. He needs my eye on the designs—”
“And your thigh on his lap, and your ass in the air…”
“Cut it out! God, you two are exactly alike. Do you think I want to lose my virginity to my best friend?”
Lana rolled over onto her back dramatically. “Take me!”
April grabbed her pillow and smacked Lana in the face.
“Ow! That’s not sexy!” Lana complained.
“Neither is stupidity. I’m not going to go turn into the office slut.”
“What a nice sentiment that is,” Lana drawled. She snatched the pillow from April. “You’re allowed to look. I never understood why you’re such a monk.”
“Monks choose celibacy. Some, on the other hand, have celibacy thrust upon us.”
“That’s just silly. You’re cute. I’d date you if you weren’t my best friend.” Lana got up. “I’m going to order the pizza. You want mushrooms and black olives?”
“Yes.”
“Great. Then we can hang out with my Netflix.” Lana smirked as she left the room. “And we don’t have to talk about my brother anymore, but know that you could—”
“Lana,” April warned.
“If you needed to talk, you could talk. Not that you need to. But if you did.”
“I’m going to start throwing shoes.”
Lana breezed out of the room and April heaved a sigh. She really wanted to go on this trip. It wasn’t just travel anymore, either. She found that it was getting easier to spend time with Samson. She both wanted to be around him and avoided him. Possibly because his proximity sometimes made it harder to breathe.
Deny as she might, April knew what that meant. It wasn’t something she’d ever felt before. Not like this, not so intensely. It was hard not to be consumed by his presence, and even harder not to want to be consumed.

“It’s ugly,” Samson said with disappointment.
“It isn’t!” April protested.
“I’m not sure how anyone could find something so lumpy and pointless attractive. Aside from being very big, which I’m sure is satisfying in its own way, I’m not sure what the point is.”
“You really don’t know anything about what’s satisfying, then.”
