I grin. “No, because I am, too.”

“You won’t think any less of me if I say I want to go to sleep now?”

“Not even a little.”

Her hand moves up, and I’m guessing it’s to cover the massive yawn I hear. It ends in the most adorable squeak I’ve ever heard. “Talk tomorrow?”

I grin. She saidtalk, notchatortext. “Absolutely.”

She disconnects and I lean over to turn the light off, then lie back with my hands under my head to stare at the ceiling.

I want more. Maybe it’s time to tell her who I really am.

Goldie

FUCK.

I just had video sex with my sister’s best friend.

Chapter 14

Matty

IWAKE UP to Killer licking my face, Kitty barking at something only he can see, and my cats yowling in protest.

It’s another day in paradise.

Except I need a minute to process what happened. Did I really do all those things last night with a woman whose face I still haven’t seen?

What iswrongwith me?

It’s only now, in the light of day, that things feel much more real…and I feel much more off-kilter. This was a bad idea.

Maybe.

Was it?

Shit.

My phone dings. Maybe it’s Dawn. I reach over to grab it, but it’s Willa.

WILLA

Where are you? It’s yoga and pier walk day. We’re about to start. Are you sulking bc you can’t bring Killer?

I run a hand over my face. There is no way I can do this today. None.

Sorry Wills, I can’t pull it off today. Had a late night and overslept.

?? What’d you get up to last night?

Yeah, no way am I telling her. I’m still not sure that Reid’s keeping his mouth shut, but her text makes it seem like maybe he is. Still…

Nothing. Just couldn’t get to sleep.

I don’t know if I believe you but okay. Call me later!
