“We need to stop,” I blurted out.
He leaned forward in his chair, his gaze intent. “Why?”
“Kenan.” At first, all I could manage was his name. When he simply waited, I took a slow breath. “You know it’s not a good idea.”
“I think we’ve already crossed the threshold of bad ideas,” he pointed out. “What if I want more?”
“What?!” I sputtered.
For the first time since he walked in my office, he looked uncertain. He also looked resolved. His usual light, casual, and teasing manner was gone. He studied me quietly before I took an audible breath, letting it out in a sharp sigh.
“Maybe we’ve already screwed it up, but you’re one of my closest friends, and there’s something else there.” He paused again. I could barely breathe as my heart fluttered madly in my chest. “Let’s just see what happens.”
“I don’t understand,” I finally said, genuinely confused.
“I like you, and I’m pretty sure you like me. You say we’re friends and—”
“Wearefriends!” My voice came out forceful, almost insistent.
“Did it feel good?” His voice was low.
Butterflies twirled in my belly, and my breath was short. “What do you mean?” I hedged, knowing perfectly well what he meant.
“Kissing me.”
My mouth almost dropped open. I crossed my legs, trying to ignore the arousal slick between my thighs.
“You came, sweetheart,” Kenan said, his words slow and deliberate.
I snapped my mouth shut, pressing my lips together as I narrowed my eyes. I wanted to lie, to play it off like it hadn’t been the best orgasm I’d ever had.
“You know it felt good,” I ground out.
His eyes flashed with something like satisfaction. “I won’t rush you. But think about what I said. Next weekend is the trip to Willow Brook. We’ll be spending the night on the ferry.”
Just then, another knock sounded on my office door. Beyond flustered, I called out, “Come on in!”
Adam came striding in. “Surprised to see you here,” he teased Kenan as he stopped beside his chair.
Kenan stood. “I was just leaving. What’s up with you?”
“Just touching base with Quinn on that tax issue we heard about from one of our producers.”
“Well, I’ll leave you guys to that,” Kenan said.
I didn’t even notice I hadn’t said goodbye to Kenan until he left the office and Adam prompted, “Everything okay with you two?”
“Oh yeah. Just distracted this morning.”
I took a swallow of my coffee, forcing my brain to focus.

“Do you think you can handle that?” Adam asked.
“Of course,” I replied.
