“If you want this, say yes,” I damn near beg. “There aren’t any strings attached.”
“Okay.”
“Good girl.” I trap my lower lip between my teeth before releasing it and giving her a smirk. “Now I have to go if I want to get these reports finished. I’ll text you when I’m close to the hotel.”
She nods. “Should I bring anything?”
“Just you.”
“I meant dinner or drinks.” An eye roll accompanies her words.
I swipe a hand across my mouth to hide another grin. “I know. If we need food, I can order in. Though I don’t expect a lot of time for eating unless it comes served between your legs.”
She squeals. “I’m letting you go, you dirty man.”
“See you in a few hours.”
Evie gives a little wave and ends the video call.
I toss my phone onto my desk and recline in my chair. My hands lace over my lower stomach, reminding me my pants are still spread wide open. I stare at the ceiling, contemplating the last thirty minutes with a light feeling in my chest. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this carefree in the company of a woman.
Most of my one-night stands existed under the cloak of booze and darkness, yet something’s inherently sexier about being with a woman while stone-cold sober. Not to mention the secrets we’ve both shared add a layer of trust beyond our primal desire.
I don’t have the first clue where this is going, but I’ll take fun and light any day. I’m not disillusioned about Evie’s predicament. She could up and leave me at any moment without saying goodbye. I’m starting to anticipate how badly it would suck if she ghosts me, but I also understand. We’ve both stated our intentions practically from day one.
That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy every damn second of her company and crave more by the day.
It’s with that thought I retrieve my cell and call the hotel to extend my standing reservation an extra night.

Evie
A truck stop bathroom is no place to get ready for a sexy night with a new man, but my options are severely limited. Such is the life of living out of my car. I did my best to run a quick razor over my legs and armpits, but this is the twenty-first century after all. A little body hair isn’t going to send him running, and if it does, fuck him. He’s already seen my vagina with a little hair since I haven’t been able to shave her properly in two weeks now. If the man had an issue, he wouldn’t have set us up for round two.
Technically three if we’re counting the time he had his hand beneath my skirt, but who’s keeping track?
I’m washed, dried, and dressed in a long white skirt paired with a black bodysuit that clings to my figure and accentuates my hips. Once Rhett’s text gives me the okay to drive to the hotel, I make a quick stop at Cami’s to pick up Ghost. I don’t feel comfortable leaving her unattended in my car for more than a quick run into the gas station if I don’t have to, and Cami was more than willing to take her for an hour.
I’m slightly breathless as I climb from my car and up the stairs to her front door. The anticipation for later fires nerves normally kept dormant. A swift knock later, and she swings the door wide.
“Damn girl, you look amazing!” She gestures me in, and I step over the threshold in a pair of strappy sandals.
I glance down at my outfit as I follow her into her kitchen, hoping it isn’t too much. “Thank you. I was going for casual.”
“Casual in a small town is a pair of jeans without rips and a clean top. You look like you’re about to walk the catwalk.”
Shit. “Is it
too much?”
“Oh, no, no, no. Don’t you dare. Hype that shit up, girl. You’re a bombshell.”
A comforting warmth sparks in my gut. “Okay, good. Thanks.”
“Sorry we can’t keep Ghost longer. You looking that hot, I feel like I should do you a solid and ask Law to reconsider.” She gives me a cheeky grin.
I laugh. “It’s not necessary. I’m not going anywhere Ghost can’t, and you have plans.”
