Not just because he hated Carl and didn’t want his pride to be hurt by me ending things earlier than planned.
His hand moved toward me as his thumb traced along my bottom lip. “All I want is for you to be happy.”
What the hell did that mean?
Why did he have to be so cryptic?
I didn’t know, and he looked exhausted.
“Okay, let’s get you to bed. Can you get up?”
He reached for my hand, and we both pushed to stand. We walked out of the bedroom, his arm wrapped around my shoulder as we made our way to his bedroom.
Once we climbed beneath the sheets, we rolled on our sides to face one another. The room was completely dark, and Finn’s hand found mine, our fingers intertwining.
“I’m glad you’re here,” he whispered, and I moved even closer.
Needing his warmth.
“Me, too.”
And sleep took us both.

I woke up earlier than usual because my mind was still reeling from everything that had happened yesterday. About the fact that the man I had planned to marry had told me he missed me and wanted to get back together.
Yet, I’d hurried home to Finn because I’d missed him in the short time we’d been apart.
And then the way Finn had made it clear that he wouldn’t share me with Carl, at least not during this time that we were pretending to be together.
But were we even pretending anymore? We spent every minute that we weren’t working together. We were best friends. We had amazing sex. And now we’d agreed to sleep in the same bed.
What was fake about it?
But the thing I kept coming back to was that Finn and I wanted different things.
It could never really work.
So, I was just going to enjoy this moment while it lasted.
I studied his face. Long black lashes rested on his cheeks as his eyes were closed. His chiseled jaw was covered in day-old scruff. His red lips were plump and kissable. My hand moved beneath the blankets, stroking him over his joggers. He was already hard, per usual.
“Good morning.” His voice was sleepy, his eyes still closed. “Are you wanting to apologize to my dick for the way that you treated him last night?”
I chuckled as my hand slipped inside his joggers, where there was nothing but his hard, thick erection.
“I definitely want to apologize,” I said, my voice all breathy as desire stirred between my legs. “And I have a little surprise for you, as well.”
“Tell me.” His hand moved between my thighs, pushing my sleep shorts aside as he swiped his fingers across my heat.
“Remember when your giant condom tore after we’d had sex that first time on the beach and you were trying to get it off?” I chuckled. “I told you that I wanted to get on the pill just to be extra safe?”
“Yes. You mentioned that you’d started a few weeks ago.”
“Yep. I’ve been taking it every day. And I wondered if you’ve ever been with a woman without a condom.”
His eyes opened, meeting my gaze as if I’d just asked him the most serious question in the world. “I’ve never been with a woman without wearing a condom, because I haven’t been in a committed relationship.”
