“Can’t wait to watch you beg for mercy.”

He chuckled, then cleared his throat. “So. Last night.”

She bit her lip.

Opened her mouth.

Closed it again.

Sighed.

“I’m sorry if I took advantage,” Shawn said, feeling his shoulders slump. “I didn’t mean to?—”

“Shawn, stop.” Willa took a deep breath. “I was buzzed. Not drunk. I remember every moment of last night, and I enthusiastically consented to everything we did.”

“I did remember that part of it, Greene,” Shawn said with a grin, delighted when Willa blushed.

“I’m the one who should be sorry,” Willa said. “You made it very clear that you aren’t looking for anything casual, and I haven’t changed my mind on that front.”

“I have,” Shawn blurted out before he could stop himself.

He’d figured it would come to this. Had prepared for her inevitably saying they needed to go back to being just friends—or worse, just neighbors.

“I mean,” he started, running his fingers through his hair nervously, “I’m open. To keeping it… relatively casual.”

Willa studied him for a moment.

“Relatively?” she asked.

He nodded.

“So what are your terms?” she asked, crossing her arms, seeming to take a battle stance.

“So you want to do it again?” he asked, trying to hide the hopefulness in his voice.

She rewarded him with rosy cheeks and a hesitant grin.

“I had fun last night,” she responded. “A lot of fun.”

“How much fun?” he asked.

He was just fishing now, and they both knew it.

“Look, you know what you’re doing, okay?” Willa said. “And honestly, I don’t know what it was, but that orgasm was… powerful. Must’ve been the reason I jumped at the opportunity to?—”

She cut herself off, and Shawn smirked.

“Yes, that was a pleasant surprise,” he said.

“Let’s just say I’ve never been so enthusiastic to suck a cock before.”

God, if she kept talking like this, he was going to spill in his pants.

Their chemistry was off the charts, and he couldn’t wait to get her alone again. Preferably somewhere larger than the front seat of his car, where he could properly strip her down and palm those glorious tits and?—

“Um, eyes up here,” Willa snapped her fingers, drawing Shawn’s eyes from the aforementioned glorious tits up to her face, where she was giving him a bemused look.

“Sorry,” he said. “You said cock and my mind wandered.”
