“A little demanding, aren’t we? You know, some men are into that kind of thing.” It’s me. I’m some men.

She rolled her eyes, and my cock twitched. Geez, this woman didn’t even know how much she affected me.

She held her hand out toward me for the croissant, and I gave it to her. As she took a bite, she moaned with delight.

Do that again, Hails.

“You didn’t moan like that when I had you on the steps,” I complained.

“Yeah, well, you weren’t slathered in butter.”

“Note to self, bring sticks of butter next time Hailee has me over to her place.”

She laughed. “You need to get the idea of us doing the tango together out of your head because it’s not going to happen.”

“A man can dream. And trust me… I’ve been dreaming about that a lot.”

“Yeah. A few of your fangirls overheard your daydreams.”

“How does that feel knowing that I was thinking about you as I did it?”

“I refuse to answer that.”

“Want to know how long it took you to mentally get me off?”

Her cheeks rose and reddened. “Having a guy in anITclownmask asking me that question makes it extremely ridiculous.”

“Five minutes.”

“You shouldn’t wear that as a badge of honor.”

“What can I say? The Hailee in my mind just turns me on so much that I can’t hold out. Just like the one in real life.”

“I don’t think that’s the flex you think it is, buckeroo.”

I laughed. “Give me another run at it, and I’ll show you how long I can keep going. That was a first time in a long time for me. I had to knock it out.”

“I’m sure you’ve had plenty of women in Hollywood to keep you busy.”

“No one since you.”

She raised a brow. “I was your first and only back then. I’m sure you’ve had—”

“No one since you,” I repeated, this time a bit more serious.

Her breath caught as she paused her steps. “Say swear.”

I stepped in front of her and pulled up my mask so our eyes could lock. “Swear.”

“Pinkie promise?”

I linked my pinkie with hers. “Pinkie promise. What about you? How many suitors have been lining up at your door since I left?” The second the question left my mouth, I regretted it. Truth be told, the last thing I wanted to know was how many people she had been with since I’d been gone.

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers.

Any answer other than none was the wrong one.

“We just renewed our friendship, Tom. Don’t push it.”
