I look away, biting the inside of my cheek. Because she’s right. The sex was good. Not just good. It rocked my world and made my knees buckle. Something that I haven’t felt in a while. And it felt good. Hell, it felt amazing to be wanted in that way again. John and I had a decent sex life at the beginning, not so much in the last few months. Not atallthe last few months. Maybe that should have been a sign all along that something was off.
The knock at the door breaks me out of my thoughts. Leaving my glass on the counter, I jump to my feet, happy for the distraction.
“You can’t run away from this conversation!” Kiara yells after me.
“I don’t know what you mean,” I say over my shoulder as I make my way to the hallway. “There’s somebody at the door.”
“And once they’re gone, we’ll resume our conversation about…”
I pull open the door and stop in my tracks when I look up and find Quinn standing in the doorway.
“... that sexy neighbor of yours.”
Closing my eyes, I bite my lower lip to stop myself from groaning out loud. Seriously, this can’t be my life.
“Is this a bad time?” Quinn asks in that husky voice of his that has a shiver running down my spine.
He’s still here.
Slowly, I open my eyes and peek at him.
“Tell me you didn’t hear that,” I say weakly.
“The part about the sexy neighbor or…” he lets his words trail off, and I can see a smug smile forming on his mouth. The mouth that was on me just a few days ago.
“This is mortifying.”
First the breakdown in this very hallway, then John at work, and now Kiara. Will this man ever see me in a normal situation?
“Ness, is that our deli—” Kiara stops in the living room doorway, her eyes growing wide as they set on Quinn. A smile slowly starts to spread over her mouth as realization dawns on her. “Well, well, well… Who do we have here?”
“Kiara,” I grit through clenched teeth in silent warning.
She doesn’t even bother to look at me. “What? I didn’t say anything.”
“You didn’t have to.”
No, she completely ignores me; her full attention is on Quinn as she gives him a once-over, her tongue darting out and sliding over her lower lip. I swear I’m going to strangle my best friend.
“Kiara.”
“What? Aren’t you going to introduce us?” She turns to Quinn. “I swear she has better manners, but something makes me believe she wants to keep you all to herself.” Kiara steps forward and offers her hand to Quinn. “Kiara. This grump’s best friend.”
“And a resident busy body,” I add dully, elbowing her in the side.
Kiara looks at me over her shoulder and blows me a kiss. “But you still love me.”
“Quinn.” He shakes his head, his eyes meeting mine, that damn smirk still on his mouth. “The sexy neighbor.”
“Well, I got that part,” she drawls out slowly, doing another sweep of his body.
Seriously?
“Okay, okay, enough. Both of you.” I glare at Kiara, letting her know this time I really mean business, before turning my attention to Quinn. “Did you need something?”
“Actually, I was wondering if you’d lend me some sugar?”
I pull my brows together. “Sugar?”
