“Hm,” she says, looking me up and down. “We’ll see.”

I grab a beer and pop the cap off, taking a sip. “You’re going to be the end of me. You know that, right?”

She passes me the joint, grabbing my beer and taking a sip. “You give me too much credit. I’m not responsible for all your shitty decisions. That’s on you.”

I laugh, taking another hit. The rush is more immediate to my head than the beer, dissolving my inhibitions. “Forgetting about the joint in my truck? That was a shitty decision. Being here with you? That was done with intention.”

“Is that so?” she asks with a laugh as she scooches to the back of the bed, getting cozy back against the pillows. She lifts the blanket, inviting me to come sit next to her, so I slide to the back.

“You don’t believe me?” I ask, looking down at her.

She keeps her eyes on the night sky. “It’s beautiful out tonight.”

I don’t look away. I keep my eyes on her. “Yeah.”

She finally glances my way with the most beautiful smile. “Be honest. How well did this work?”

“How well did what work?”

“This,” she says, motioning around us and taking the last hit of the joint. “You were great at seducing the ladies, huh? Cuddles under the night sky. You probably opted for something fancy like a bottle of wine and a fruit salad as opposed to ourbeer and potato chips. Oh, I bet you did some cheesy shit like put a playlist on your phone.”

“God,” I laugh, leaning back against the pillow and looking up at the sky. “Well, it’s a good thing I’m not trying to seduce you then, huh?”

She smirks. “Oh no? Scared?”

I push myself back up, turning to face her. “Seduction requires some level of deception. There’s no lies between us.” I reach out on instinct, pushing her hair back. “You see me for who I am. You either want me or you don’t.”

I hold my breath, waiting for her to respond. It’s almost unbearable. I love this woman. I love her so fucking much. I just want to tell her. I want to put it all out there for the world to see. I don’t care what Trevor is going to say.

“Do you think maybe we just need to get it out of our system?” she asks.

All my thoughts come to a halt at once. “What?” I breathe out.

She looks away. “You know.”

“No, I don’t know,” I grit out.

She turns back to me, her face more guarded than before. “Like maybe we just need to fuck.”

I exhale harshly, trying to understand what she’s saying, but the mix of weed and beer is clogging my judgment. “Thea, I don’t think that’s…”

“Be honest, before this whole situation started, this never would have been a thing.” She reaches out, running her fingers up my chest. “There was a seed planted that wasn’t there before. It’s the not being able to do anything about it that’s been driving you crazy.” Her eyes meet mine. “You need to get it out of your system.”

“Is that really what you think?”

She drops her eyes for a moment, putting up her shield. “Are you really going to say no right now?”

That’s the last thing I want to do. My body is aching to be with her. I’m not sure why she’s blocking me out, but if this is what she needs to do to protect herself, if she needs to play pretend for now, then that’s what I’ll do because I already know I’d do anything she asks me to right now.

I pull her in close, pressing my lips against hers, slipping my tongue into her mouth. She crawls up into my lap, grabbing my head in between her hands. Fuck! My dick jerks in excitement. This is actually happening. No more distractions. No more interruptions. She’s here in my arms, and the only thing that can stop me is me. And that sure as fuck isn’t going to happen.

The sound of her breathing turns me on even fucking more as I kiss down her neck, inching my fingers underneath of her shirt. I need it gone. Now.

“Is this okay?” I ask, already beginning to lift it.

She grabs the shirt, yanking it over her head in response, leaving only a small, black, lacy bra covering her perfect little tits. I cup one in each hand, kissing and running my tongue along each one. I reach around her to unclasp the bra.

“Is this okay?”
