“Nick?”
“You’ve definitely got a magic dick.” He scrambled off the bed.
I sat up on my elbows.
“Gotta clean up. BRB.” He flashed me a quick smile and darted off toward the bathroom.
What the hell?
I stared after him. This behavior didn’t track with the man who would curl up on my lap and snuggle me after he’d blow me in my car.
Shaking my head, I removed the condom and tied it off. I was just throwing it in the trash when Nick emerged from the bathroom.
“That was fun.” He smiled brightly and picked up his shorts.
“Yes, it was.” I cleared my throat and pulled on my sweats.
“I know I’m going to sleep really good tonight. Speaking of sleep. You should do that. Only one of us needs to get up and adult in the morning, and it’s not me.”
“Nick—”
“Thanks for…” He waved at the bed. “Have a good night.”
I waited a beat to see if he’d say anything more, but he turned his attention to his shirt.
“Goodnight,” I said lamely.
He flashed me a quick grin and tugged his shirt over his head.
Confused and more than a little miffed by the shift in his attitude, I left his room and headed toward mine.
Something was wrong, but I didn’t know how to fix it. Confronting him and demanding answers would only make him shut down. Was it the sex? Or maybe because of what I’d told him about the letters.
Or maybe I was reading too much into things and he wasn’t a cuddly person after sex. Our agreement was to have some consensual fun, and we had. Cuddles and long talks in bed were a relationship thing.
Shaking off my thoughts, I lengthened my strides. I’d had a long day and an even longer week. I needed to get some sleep, then I’d start thinking clearly again.

NICK
“Do I look okay?”I asked Evan as Vlado slowed the car to a stop.
“You look perfect.”
I looked down at my clothes critically. “Are you sure?” I smoothed my hand over the emerald-green silk shirt I’d paired with my tuxedo. “Is the boat neck too casual? Maybe I should have gone with something more traditional.”
“Nicky, look at me.”
I flicked my gaze to his.
“You look perfect.”
I smiled, some of the tension leaving me at the heat and affection in his eyes.
“There’s no reason to be nervous.”
“I’m not nervous. I just don’t want to screw this up.”
