“Quinn is not a serial killer.”

“He looks the part.”

I scowled at her. “Maybe to you he does, but to me, he’s hot.”

“Regardless of his looks, the man has serious talent to make you come.”

“I would agree.”

“So how did he do it?”

“It’s hard to describe. It was the most erotic thing I’ve ever experienced.”

“Obviously since you’ve never come before.”

Nudging her playfully, I replied, “Shut up.” As we started for the car, I couldn’t help the dreamy sigh that escaped my lips. “It was everything–-his voice, his hands–”

“Wait, I thought they weren’t supposed to be able to touch you?”

“They’re not. Only him.”

“So what, he fingerbanged you?”

I shook my head. “No, it wasn’t like that. He didn’t even have his hands on my breasts or my…you know.”

Brooke rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be a stripper, Isla. You need to say the word.”

Jerking my shoulders back, I replied, “Fine. My pussy.”

With a grin, Brooke raised her hand to high five me. “Good job.”

Once I did, I said, “See, I’m not a total prude.”

“Apparently not if you were able to get off without him touching you. Like did he look you in your eyes and compel you to do it?”

Giggling, I replied, “No. It was like the most intense dry-humping I’ve ever had. I don’t know. Something about the friction coupled with the power of him just sent me over the edge.”

“That’s hot,” Brooke remarked.

“It was.”

“What happens now?”

“What do you mean?”

“Duh, do you go back for seconds?”

“He’s my boss.”

“Is there something in your contract that says you can’t date him, least of all fuck him?”

“There was nothing in the NDA that I signed.”

“Then you have free reign for more orgasms.”

I drew my bottom lip between my teeth. Did I want more with Quinn? My body definitely wanted more physically with him. I couldn’t imagine he would object if I broached the subject. But I couldn’t see that happening. Despite Victor and our one-night-stand, I wasn’t a girl who did sex without feelings.

And for the life of me I couldn’t imagine dating Quinn. How could I possibly tell people where and how we met? It didn’t seem like a good start if I had to lie about the very basic aspect of our relationship.
