“I’m not sure anymore,” he murmured.
We sat in silence. It felt like an eternity had passed before either of us said anything.
“Let’s go.” He opened the door. “I’ll drive you home.”
“Oh.” My stomach sunk. “Do we have to?”
He gave me a soft smile. “It’s almost three in the morning.”
“Already?” My eyes widened.
“Time flies when you’re having fun.” He winked.
My cheeks burned.
He took my hand, helping me out of the back seat.
I moved to walk around him when he stepped in front of me. “Zach?”
He stared down at me, the muscle in his jaw, ticking. “You’re beautiful,” he murmured. His voice was so soft, I almost didn’t hear him. Using the back of his hand, he brushed it down my cheek. “So damn beautiful.”
My breath caught in my throat.
He shook himself, clearing his throat. “Let’s get you home.”

(Zach)
I had to be careful with Luna. If I let myself go, if I let her see the true error of my ways, it would only scare her. Would she still want me then? She loved me. She said so herself. I knew she had feelings for me, and rumors had gone through our group of friends and family that those feelings were more than just a crush but to hear her say it, stirred something inside of me. Something that was dark. Something that had never been unleashed before until now. I grew up needing to protect her. I wasn’t sure why. But now that I knew exactly how she felt, this protection bordered on insanity.
Once we reached Luna’s house, I put the car into park and sat there. I just fucking sat there. I had a beautiful woman sitting beside me who had confessed her love for me, a woman that I’d fucked several times already, a woman whoknew meinside and out and yet, I still fucking sat there.
“Zach?” Luna gently touched my arm. “Will you spend the night with me?”
My gaze snapped to hers. “Why?”
Her mouth fell open. “What do you meanwhy? I spent last night with you. You took me for a drive tonight and we had sex in your car. I confessed my feelings for you.” She lifted her hand when I went to speak. “I’m not done.”
My dick twitched at the sass.
“I’m not proposing to you. I’m not being clingy. I don’t give a shit what happens anymore.”
I raised an eyebrow. “You don’t?” I wasn’t sure where this was going but I was curious just the same.
She pressed her lips into a firm line before blowing out a slow breath. “Fine. I do care. Alright? I can’t help it. Either way, that doesn’t matter. I’m just asking you to spend the night with me. That’s it. It’s not like I just told you that I’m pregnant or anything.”
“It would be scientifically impossible for you to find out this soon,” I blurted like the asshole that I was.
She scowled. “I know that, Zach. Thank you very much for letting me know how my own body works.”
“I mean.” I rubbed the back of my neck. “Luna, this isn’t ending how I want it to. That all came out wrong.”
“It’s fine.” She sat up straighter and cleared her throat. “I know I’m not like the usual women you’ve slept with. And I understand that it’s been awhile. I get that. I’m new but have you ever stopped to think for just a second that maybe I’m willing to learn? Hell, I gave you a damn blow job. Outside. Where anyone could have walked by.” She shook her head. “But it’s fine.”
“Luna.”
“It’s okay.” She opened the passenger side door and slid out of the vehicle.
