My cock stirs in my pants. I try to ignore it. I can’t be thinking about her like that anymore.

“We can’t do that again,” I say.

Her brow lifts. I hold my breath, wondering if she’s going to get mad or hurt.

But she just glances down at her lap for a second before looking back at me.

“You didn’t like it?” she asks.

I shake my head. “No, I fucking loved it.”

The corner of her mouth twitches like she’s fighting a smile. “Me too. It was really hot.”

“Really, really hot,” I mutter, my gaze falling to her lips. I force myself to look away and stare ahead at the dingy gray parking garage wall I pulled up to after the valet brought me my car.

I clear my throat. “I like you, Lucy. A lot. I’m really attracted to you.”

She glances down at my lap, amusement flickering in her gemstone eyes. “I could tell.”

I let out a laugh. She chuckles softly.

“I’m attracted to you too, Leo.”

Confidence swoops through me, hearing this beautiful girl say that she wants me too.

“We’re friends, Luce. As much as I want you…as much as I want to finish that kiss…” I swallow hard as I hold her gaze. The air between us in the car is thick and heavy. We’re just inches apart. I can smell her perfume playing with the natural intoxicating scent of her skin.

Heat races across my body. Maybe talking in the car was a bad idea.

I shake my head and refocus.

“We can’t cross that line,” I say. “I mean, I know we already did when I kissed you, but we can’t do it again. I care about you. I want to be a good friend to you. We live together. And I’m scared that if we cross that boundary into something more than friends, it’ll ruin our friendship. I don’t want to lose you as a friend. Or a roommate. And I’m nervous that if we fool around, things might get weird or intense or…”

She nods as I trail off. “You’re right. I didn’t even think about it that way. I don’t want that either. You’re my best friend, Leo. My closest friend. I wasn’t thinking…I guess I got caught up in the moment.”

“I did too. I should have been using my head, but I wasn’t.”

We’re quiet for a long second.

“So you’re not mad?” I ask.

She shakes her head, a small smile playing across her lips. “No. I don’t want things to be weird between us because we were stupid and horny.”

I laugh again. She flashes that sweet, sexy smile.

“We’ll just try to forget about that kiss and move on,” she says.

I nod once, even though I know there’s no way I’m ever going to forget about kissing Lucy.

That was the hottest kiss of my life. I’ll think about that kiss until the day I die. I’ll remember the way her mouth and tongue tasted, the desperate noises she made, the way she felt grinding against me…

Stop it.

“Okay, good.” I turn on the car and pull out of the parking spot, then drive back toward the house.

We’re quiet the whole ride home. When I park in front of the house, she reaches for the door handle, but I catch her wrist.

“Thank you again for coming with me,” I say. “That would have sucked without you.”
