you do?”

She thinks about it for a second, like she’s weighing her options. “I think I would do it. You

already said you’re curious about what it’d be like. Now that sex is on the table, I think I would look

back and always wonder what if. And if he thinks you guys can really go back to being just friends at

the end of it, then I would trust him. What happens if you don’t want to stop having sex on day thirty-

one?”

I shrug. “We didn’t really talk about.” It’s something I should have talked to him about last night

instead of freaking out and locking myself in my room.

“Would you be together? Like a couple?”

I wince. I’ve never really wanted to be in a relationship. I like to be free and able to do whatever

the hell I want, whenever the hell I want. A boyfriend makes everything complicated. “I don’t know,”

I answer honestly.

“Well, if it were me, I’d do it.”

I run my hands down my face. I sigh. What a damn mess.

“Hey, I’m sure everything is going to be ok. Talk to him and make sure you both have a plan for

what happens afterward. That way, neither of you gets hurt.” She brings me in for a hug. “But hey, I

have to ask. How was the kiss?” I take a step back from her before answering.

“It was… amazing. I’ve never been kissed like that before. There was so much passion.”

“Wow.”

“I know. And the dirty things he said to me were unexpected, to say the least.” Stella’s eyes widen

in shock when I tell her some of the things Ezra whispered to me.

“I know. It was hot, Stell. Like really fucking hot.” My mind wanders back to being pressed

against the wall, Ezra’s warm body pushed up against me. I could just barely feel the outline of his

dick, but it felt satisfyingly big. I fan my face with my hand. “Man, it’s getting hot in here.”

Stella laughs. I laugh. I feel ten times better now that I’ve talked to her. Now I just need to talk to

Ezra and get everything situated. I’ve got to know why he wants to do this now and what happens

afterward.

“Ok, well, I’m going back to bed now. I need my man after hearing all that.”

“Gross,” I scrunch my nose up. “Thanks for talking to me. Sorry I woke you up.” She gives me a

sleepy smile before turning and walking back into her room.
