I just had my hands all over her, and it felt incredible. But that look in her eyes? I know I can’t say no to her. I can’t refuse her. Which is why I need to stay the fuck away from Stella. No good can come of mixing our worlds together. All that will happen is someone being hurt. And that isn’t a risk I’m willing to take.

STELLA
I climb into bed a mess.I touch my lips with my fingers, trying to remember and never wanting to forget. It all rolls over me. The fact Cale was here, in my apartment, and he had his hands and mouth on me. He made me come, and it was so fucking good.
His intensity. The way he took charge — okay, maybe I begged a little — it was everything. And yet, I couldn’t tell him how I really felt, how he makes me feel.
Cale thinks I’m too young for him, but he has no clue about what I want, and what I want is him. He can’t just take me to heaven and back and leave me hanging. Well, he did give me an amazing orgasm, but I had my hand on his dick. I felt how hard he was; he wanted it too, despite what he said. His body can’t lie, even if his mind is telling him otherwise. He didn’t have to go and be all logical and ruin the moment. What was up with that? Every excuse under the sun to high-tail it and run.
I’ve never been kissed with the ferocity that Cale showed me. The way we melt together. How good I felt in his arms. I’m not just making this up, he can fucking admit it.
It could just be my imagination, but I’m sure I can still smell his cologne on my skin. Maybe it’s wishful thinking because he is everywhere, even now, hours later while I toss and turn in my bed trying to sleep. All I can think about is him. About what we did, and how I want more of it. So much more.
I pull out my phone and text Manny. He’ll know what to do, and he won’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell him.
Me
I made out with Detective Callaghan
A few minutes go by, then I see the gray bubble appear as he types back.
Manny
OMG. Tell me everything
Me
He came over to get his jacket from the other night, and then he came upstairs and we ended up making out in the kitchen. He was on duty!!!
Of course, I told Manny everything because I had to vent.
Manny
Okay, that went from 0 to 100 real fast
Me
He is fucking incredible. Is this what lovesickness feels like?
Manny
Did you hit a home run?
Me
No. He kinda got weird and started going off about how this was wrong, and he’s not good enough and how the MC will never approve. I wanted to kick him in the shins
Manny
Aww sweet. About the shin kicking, I mean. The MC will never approve. That’s a given. You have real feelings for him, don’t you?
Me
At first I thought it was just a crush, but now I know it isn’t and I don’t know what to do
Manny
