More than you should, asshole.

“We’ll have to talk about that… figure out what to do about it.” He wasn’t sure why he said the words out loud. It was probably a terrible idea to even put them out into the world, but something compelled him.

Perhaps it was to see her reaction?

She didn’t disappoint.

Her face went suddenly pale, the slender column of her throat working. “You… what do you mean by that? Do what about it?”

“I suppose we’re going to find out.” In truth, he had no idea. This whole situation was rapidly spinning out of control—almost as rapidly as his cock was getting hard.

You need to stop this. Right now, Max.

But it wasn’t that simple. Not even close.

He jiggled the plastic cuffs, hoping to distract himself. “You wanna get these off of me?”

She winced again, looking up at him through the fringe of her hair. “I… I can’t do it. Not here, anyway.”

“Why the hell not?” He looked back at the house, the streetlights beginning to snap on as the evening bled into dusk.

“I need to… I don’t know… make it seem like we went somewhere? Did something?”

“Like what?” He almost took a step back when he realized what she was implying. “You mean… like on a date? Jesus, Kelsey…”

“What? Is that so weird? Nothing wrong with that…” She was blushing quite brightly though.

The picture was beginning to come into sharper focus now.

“Do they have any idea who I am? I mean, in relation to you?”

“Fuck,” she said under her breath.

“Kels…”

“Sorry. I mean… no, they don’t. You’re just… a friend. Someone I happen to know.”

“Nobody’s asked?” He crossed his arms, ignoring the plastic cuff digging into his wrist. “I find it hard to believe your friend—Amber, was it—didn’t interrogate you. I know how women are with this stuff. How close friends want to know everything.”

“Well, she did…” Kelsey shifted her weight, looking uncharacteristically out of her element now.

He found he rather liked that, too. “And? What did you tell her?”

“I left out some of it. She doesn’t need to know every little thing.”

He sighed then. “I’ll play along with this a tiny bit more, but this cuff needs off. Like yesterday.”

Kelsey’s eyes lit up again, and he was glad to see it despite his unexpectedly sadistic enjoyment in her discomfiture. “I’ll drive you.”

“What am I supposed to do with my truck?”

She blushed a little again. Very fetching. “Can I… can I just take you in mine? For a while? I’ll even drive you back to your place, if you want.”

“I see.” He glanced toward the house. “Need to keep up appearances?”

“God, please?”

“All right, we’ll go in your truck.”
