“Why?”

“I felt like something was off with us yesterday morning.”

“Off? Felt pretty on to me. Did you fake that last one?” Honor covered her face with her free hand and shook her head.

“Not the orgasm part of the morning. I’m talking about the part where you couldn’t get out of there fast enough. And before that, when I offered to take care of you nice and slow, you weren’t interested.”

“I wanted you to fuck me,” Honor lied.

“Did you, really, Honor?”

“Silver, why did you get me flowers?”

“Because I wanted to,” Silver stated.

“Do you get other women flowers?”

“I’ve never sent a woman flowers in my life. I had to google how to do it when I wanted same-day delivery.”

“I’ve never gotten flowers sent to me,” Honor shared.

“No? Those men you dated didn’t send you flowers after they gave you mediocre sex that was probably all about them?”

Honor laughed and said, “No, they didn’t.”

“Can we talk, Honor?”

“We are talking.”

“No, tonight,” Silver said. “In person. At the show.”

“What did you mean, you have something planned?”

“For you and me. I’m sort of taking the night off, but I can’t not be there entirely because it’s my show.”

“Silver, maybe we shouldn’t…”

“Shouldn’t what?”

“Do this. Lines are getting pretty blurry.”

“Why are you drawing lines at all?”

Honor swallowed and stared at the flowers in front of her.

“I have a date tonight, Silver.” When Silver didn’t say anything, Honor added, “She’s a friend of a friend. We’re grabbing a drink.”

“What are you doing after that drink?”

“I don’t know. I won’t be sleeping with her, if that’s what you’re asking. I still have your teeth marks on my skin.”

“Don’t want anyone else to see them?”

“No,” Honor answered quickly. “Especially not on a first date.”

“No sex on a first date, or you just don’t want her to know that someone sucked on your skin so hard, it left a mark not all that long ago before that first date?”

Honor clenched her thighs and said, “Both.”
