“What?” she repeats. “You’re looking at me strange.”
“I think maybe Idoknow you.”
God, I am totally killing the moment right now. I had a hot woman on her knees and now I’m... I don’t even know what I’m doing. But I can’t shake the feeling that something has shifted in the air and I won’t take it all the way with someone if there’s a question mark hanging in the air.
“Take off your mask,” she says. Her voice sounds even more familiar now, without the smooth sultry tone from before.
A bad feeling knots in my stomach. Something tells me that this whole thing is about to take a turn for the worse.
I reach behind my head and yank the mask forward, shaking a little to pull it free. The damn thing is a tight fit and when I pull it off, the cool air is a relief on my skin. But when I look back at the woman, she has both hands clamped over her mouth.
“Rowan Lively, are you fucking kidding me?” She shakes her head in disbelief and takes a step backward.
Uh-oh.
I tuck my cock back into my pants and zip myself up. Holding the mask under one arm, I stare at her. I still can’t figure it out. God, that makes me sound like a total douche for not knowing, but I swear the costume is throwing me for a loop.
Who do I know who would be nerdy enough to...
The penny drops. “Emery?”
Holy shit. She told me to call her Em, but I didn’t put two and two together. And I might have lived next to the woman for a few years, but she barely gives me the time of day unless she’s chewing my ear out for some minor indiscretion. I had no idea what her job was. No idea what communities she was part of.
No idea the woman was sexier than sin and a firecracker strong enough to burn me whole.
“Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God...” She paces back and forth.
“Shit. Are you... You’re not going to faint are you?” I reach for her but she bats my hand away.
“How could youdothis?” Her eyes are wide.
“Me?” I shake my head. “Oh, hell no. You arenotpassing the buck to me. We were in this together. We came here, together. In fact,youwere the one who handedmea pass to get back here.”
“I didn’t know it was you.” Her eyes throw daggers at me.
“And I didn’t know you were...” A fantasy? A memory that’s going to haunt me for life? The biggest case of blue balls I’ve ever experienced? “You.”
She lets out a growl that’s so animalistic I blink. “I can’t believe this. That’s what I get for trying to enjoy myself for once! Can’t my life be normal for one freaking minute? Oh, no, I can’t find a cute guy and have some anonymous hot sex and just go on my merry orgasming way.”
She’s melting down. Totally and utterly melting down.
Someone knocks on the door from the other side. “Uh, is everything okay in there?”
“It’s fine,” I reply. “We’re just having a pep talk.”
The person doesn’t respond and there’s no further attempt to engage. I watch Emery walk back and forth, her long red plait—which Idefinitelyknow is a wig—flicking behind her like the tail of an agitated cat.
“You...” She turns to me. “I put your...”
I rake a hand through my hair. “This is awkward, sure. But in the grand scheme of things, what’s a blow job between neighbours?”
“You didnotjust say that.” She shakes her head. “I don’t even like you.”
“Gee, thanks.”
She scrubs a hand over her face. “I mean, we’re not...we’re not together.”
“Yeah, that was the whole point of this, wasn’t it?” I shrug. “We clearly both had an itch to scratch and it was never meant to be anything more. There’s nothing wrong with two consenting adults having sex.”
