“This… whatever is between us. We give ourselves one night to get it out of our system. Then we move on with our lives.”
“One night…” The words rolled off her tongue as if she was testing them out.
“It’ll be our little secret.”
“Why?” she asked, surprising the fuck out of me.
“Because I want you even though I shouldn’t, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop wanting you until I’ve had you.”
“So you basically want to fuck me out of your system.”
“Something like that.” I winced.
It sounded much worse coming from her mouth than it did in my head.
“One night. No strings. No promises.”
Shit. Was she really considering it?
I hadn’t gotten that far when I’d decided to lay it out for her. All I knew was Noah and Connor were right. I couldn’t keep doing whatever the fuck we were doing without doingsomething.
“Yeah…” I waited, watching her as she considered my words—my offer.
“And you’ll stop being an asshole to me afterward?”
“Yeah, I think I can do that.” My mouth twitched.
Who knew, maybe we could even be friends. It would sure as shit make life a little easier, especially if she was going to be around Scottie.
“Okay.” She nodded.
“Jeez, blondie. Don’t sound too excited about it.”
“Well, you’ve given me nothing to get excited about yet.” She leaned in, her expression turning expectant, the air heavy and thick around us.
“Well, then.” I moved closer, dipping my eyes to her stark red lips. “I guess we should—”
“Steele,” someone yelled, and I jerked away, putting a safe distance between us. “Get the fuck in here. We’re celebrating.”
“Celebrating?” I murmured, straining to see whoever the fuck was standing in the doorway. Tipper, I think.
“Put the blonde down and come hang with us.”
I muttered something under my breath, and Harper chuckled. “Go,” she said. “We can pick this back up later.”
“You’re sure I can—”
“Later.” She nodded.
“How are we going to do this?” I asked, not sure I could wait. But the party was still in full swing, and if we both dipped out now, people would notice.
“Come find me.” Harper didn’t give me a chance to ask how the fuck I was supposed to do that as she slipped away and hurried back inside the house.
Leaving me staring after her.
