“Nah, I’m not a fan of hot tubs.”

“Me either,” I admit. “Besides, even if I did get in, I wouldn’t last more than five minutes. I overheat so easily.”

“Then it’s settled.” He knocks his hip with mine as I watch him make me another drink.

“So, what do you want to do?” I ask, looking at the side of his handsome face.

“I can think of a few things.” He smiles, turning to hand me my finished drink.

“Again?” I wiggle my eyebrows playfully at him.

“Good god, woman. You’re insatiable.” He chuckles, popping the top off a bottle of beer before sucking half the contents back in one long pull.

“Me? You’re the one that started it the third time.” I wave my finger at him, laughter vibrating through my voice.

“Well, maybe if you weren’t so damn addicting.” He leans in.

“Oh, so it’s my fault.” I slide my nose against his.

“Damn straight.” He smiles, pulling back when a random guy comes strolling into the kitchen.

“Come on. Sven has an incredible movie room downstairs. What do you say we grab some blankets and go hide out down there? He has just about every movie you can think of.”

“I’d like that.” I nod, turning to follow him out of the kitchen.

I don’t know how we got here. How we went from awkwardly flirting, to having sex, to uncertainty over if we could continue to have sex, to having more sex, to existing like normal people. One thing that’s become crystal clear over the course of this night is that Abel Collins is one hell of a roller coaster ride and so far, I’ve only gone down the first hill.

I don’t know what will come of this. Maybe it’ll blow up in my face. Maybe it’ll turn out to be the best damn thing I’ve ever done. Either way I’m strapped in and the ride’s already moving. There’s no getting off now.
