“U-Dub?”

“Yeah, it’s what we call the University of Washington,” I shrug. “After that, I worked there at the teaching hospital as an… an ER doc.” Somehow the fry I was chewing on took on both the shape and consistency of a golf ball and goes down with a hard swallow with that last part. Kasey doesn’t notice, and actually lets out a faint giggle.

“You just gave me your resume,” she jokes, and I chuckle back nervously.

“Yeah, sorry. I just… had a lot happen… in my life. It’s hard to talk about so I kind of robotically recite the superficial stuff.”

“It’s okay,” she smiles warmly with a nod. “It’s your life, you tell what you want.”

I fold my arms on the table and give her a closed-mouth smile, nodding my thanks. I appreciate so much that she gets that, but I know that it can only go so far.

“Luna’s doing amazing, by the way,” I mention, taking the out she just gave me. “She’s so focused.”

“Really?” She rests her chin on her hand, settling in to listen. “I’m so glad to hear that. She really loves playing, and I see so much potential. I really hope she keeps with it through high school.”

“So long as she wants to, I see no problem. She’s got the most discipline out of all the kids.”

“That’s definitely one of her strong suits.”

“So she has weak ones?” I tease.

“I wouldn’t say that, but there are certain things she could build upon,” she laughs, “like learning the difference between monologue and dialogue. I swear, that kid talks her face off and makes my brain go numb some days,” she crosses her eyes to exaggerate the point, and I can’t help but let out a laugh at the goofy look. “I’m actually thinking of getting her a pet,” she tells me after righting herself.

“What are you thinking of getting?”

“Something that will be easy for her to learn about and take care of on her own. She said she wants a cat, and I think I will be okay with that.”

The rest of our conversation is easy, light even. I can’t help but feel like I’m on a date.

After lunch, I pull up in Kasey’s driveway to drop her off.

“So how did you like driving this thing?” I ask, putting the truck in park.

“Are you kidding?” She brightens with a big smile. “I felt like a badass. Well, the high class kind,” she finishes, looking around the truck’s fancy interior and I let out another chuckle as I open my door and get out. When I make it to her side, she’s already got her door unlatched. I pull it the rest of the way open and hold her elbow as she hops out. I get a brief whiff of her scent from the closeness, along with the softness of her skin, not to mention how fucking natural it feels, getting her out of the car and having her close. It all makes something come over me and all thought goes out the window.

Before I can even blink, I place my hands on either side of her neck and pull her into me, locking my mouth down on hers.

Kasey

What is happening?

I in no way saw this coming.

He’s kissing me and it’s so good; so amazing. It’s a bad idea, we shouldn’t do this. We’re getting in too deep when I know this can’t go anywhere. But I feel so good as it’s happening; so wanted, and confident and strong. So safe.

And Luna’s not here to get wrapped up in any confusion.

This can happen. I can just let this happen.

I’m not sure how we get from the driveway to the front door, but I somehow let us in as we continue to cling to each other, our breathing heavy.

I raise his shirt, kissing up his abs as I go and he more than willingly helps me relieve him of the material. God, the sight of him shirtless in his jeans makes me instantly wet. His hands grip my ass as I lay kisses across his chest and reach for his belt buckle, pulling it loose.

“What are you doing, baby?” he asks, bringing his hands to glide up the sides of my body to cradle my face. He kisses me breathless before I can answer, his lips melding with mine and his tongue stroking into my mouth.

“You said next time,” I say on an exhale against his lips when he pulls away.

“What?” He gives me a confused smile, his eyes heavily lidded and full of want. I continue undoing his pants and pin him with a mischievous stare, willing him to get my meaning. I want to see his glorious cock again and taste it in my mouth. “Yeah?” he croons sensually when he catches on.
