I smirk, unsure how I feel about the question considering all the things I just heard her say. “No, it wasn’t.”

A blush steals up her cheeks. “Oh.”

It’s a good oh, that much I can tell.

What worries me are all the other emotions flitting through her peculiar gray eyes.

Confusion.

Panic.

Regret.

“I have to pee.”

Without another word, she hops off the bed and races to the bathroom, locking herself inside.

All right then.

I push myself up until I’m sitting against my headboard and blow out a breath.

I still can’t wrap my mind around last night. One minute I was telling her good night, the next I was about to knock on her door, ready to beg her to let me touch her again.

Ihadto touch her again. There was no doubt about it.

We’d spent the night downstairs at River and Dean’s having fun with our friends and drinking too much and trying way too fucking hard to ignore the tension brewing between us.

I can’t count the number of times I caught her peeking my way with yearning in her eyes. She wanted me as badly as I wanted her, and since we’ve been playing a dangerous game since she moved in, I wasn’t surprised when she was as ready to call a truce as I was.

Last night was…wow.

It was easily the best sex I’ve had of my life. I can’t remember a time I’ve come so hard. I didn’t even make it to the bathroom to pull the condom off. I tossed it into a tissue and fell asleep the moment I wrapped my arms around Maya’s warm body.

She was so responsive to my touch. So trusting. So damn beautiful.

I want to do it again.Badly.

And soon.

The bathroom door is pulled open, and a very naked Maya waltzes back into the room.

I like how confident she is in front of me, not trying to hide herself like most would.

She slips back under the covers, sliding up next to me. She doesn’t say anything, just sets her head on my shoulder.

I can’t stop myself from pressing a kiss to her forehead.

“That was…wow.”

I chuckle. “A good wow?”

“No. Totally bad. I thought for sure your dick would be bigger.”

I snort, peering down at her. “That so?”

She nods, her lips setting into a grim line. “By at least a few inches. What a disappointment…”

“It’s weird…I didn’t hear you complaining last night. In fact, I’m pretty sure you were begging for me.”
