A laugh slips out of me as she continues. “It doesn’t have to be complicated, and it doesn’t have to be anything other than fun if that’s what you want.Ifthat’s what you want. If not, you can just pretend it never happened, and he’ll just be dreaming about what he’s missing for the rest of his life.”

When she sees me twisting the promise ring on my finger she adds, “Remember what that ring has become for you? It’s aboutyou, Len. Your choices.Yourlife.Yourbody.Youhave the power.”

I let the question bounce around in my head. Do I want to have a friends… no,enemies-with-benefits thing with Saint? Can it really be uncomplicated andjustfun?

Really, what I should be asking is… do I want a repeat of what happened today in the elevator?

I don’t even really need to think about that because the answer is absolutely yes. It felt so… freeing.

To say fuck it, to stop worrying about the consequences or what’s going to happen next and justbe.

To shut my brain off and just live in the moment.

Finally, I say, “You make it sound so easy.”

Maisie grins and lifts her shoulder in a shrug. “You can make it whatever you want, babe. That’s the glorious part of hooking up with no strings attached. Easy.”

Something tells me that nothing would ever be easy with Saint. He’s too intense, too magnetic in the way that draws every bit of the air out of a room when he walks in.

My strong dislike for him clearly has not suppressed my desire in any way, or I wouldn’t even be questioning it.

“Do whatever makes you happy, Len. But know this:orgasmsmake you happy, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that man would make you come.” She giggles, rolling her lips together.

Yeah, I have no doubt either, if today was any indication.

Chewing the corner of my lip, I blow out a breath. “Am I really going to do this?”

“I dunno… are you?”

Finally, I nod, a shrill of excitement burning through me.

Holy shit.

I’mreallygoing to do this.

I’m going to hook up with the devil himself.
