I walked him to the door, which he promptly unlatched, unlocked, and opened. “Good night, Marisa,” he said, tucking my hair behind my ear. He pulled me by the sheet, which was the only thing covering me and placed a tender kiss on my lips, and walked out into the hallway. “Don’t forget to lock the door behind me.”

“Good night, Tyler,” I said.

He gave me another kiss before walking away.

The blankets tucked around me offered warmth as I sat in bed propped against my pillows with my legs crossed at the ankles. Tyler’s hands, lips, moans. Every touch, each kiss, every lick. I could still feel it all. I was orgasmically euphoric. So why was I sitting here, emotions swirling around in a whirlpool, like I was a vessel caught in a vortex?

I was confusing the release of happy sex endorphins with something more. I was mistakenly making my lust for his hot body into something more than what it was.

My thoughts were random. One minute I was resolute in the fact that our Booty Call arrangement was the perfect solution to fulfill my carnal needs without worrying about either one of us becoming attached. The next, I was pondering all the unanswered questions I had regarding Tyler. And this only reinforced the fact that I was in way over my head with this guy.

But it’s okay. Everything was okay,I reminded myself. I forced my breathing to regulate and tried to get my shit under control.

I’ve never been shy about taking what I wanted from a man. Nor had I ever been shy about telling them what I liked and helping them best please me. I never worried about what they thought—if I was bossy, demanding, straight-forward. It didn’t matter to me because, in the end, we were both there for the same thing—mutual pleasure.

It wasn’t that I didn’t care with Tyler. I did. But with him, it just felt natural.

And more than that, as if he knew how badly I needed to be in control, he yielded and allowed me to take the lead tonight.

The man may have been as hell-bent as I was to prove he was the one in charge, so his relinquishment of dominance, permitting me to take the lead our first time together, showed me more about him than he could imagine.

It was a bit unsettling. It was definitely unnerving. Then again, it was also comforting. And this made me want him even more. Not because he understood what I needed without me having to explain or because he was so good at making me come undone, but because, as worried as I was about tonight, he’d made everything so easy.

He’d promised tonight would be a night to remember. And now I knew Tyler Sanderson kept his promises.

I blew out a flustered breath and rolled my eyes to the ceiling. Hopefully, by next week, I wouldn’t feel as screwed up as I did right now.
