I DIDN’T SO MUCH AS eat as inhale breakfast, alternating between shoveling food in my mouth and swallowing coffee and juice. And while my hurried way of eating didn’t leave a lot of time for conversation, there was an easy silence that stretched between us.

It was ignorant bliss, willing to bury my head in the sand rather than deal with the obvious mess. Not that I was capable of forgetting, the memories from earlier in the morning burned permanently in my mind.

Besides, I didn’t have a lot of time, needing to shower, dress and be ready for when my brother’s girlfriend arrived. Or at least that’s what I told myself as I left any further discussion on whether or not we would have sex again sidelined.

Dave cleared the breakfast dishes, letting Amy into the room while I finished up. “Hey, just need to grab my purse.” I strolled out to the living room, Amy barely having had time to sit down.

The smile widened across her face as she looked between us. “We’re in no rush.” Her eyes dropped to the box of condoms that were conspicuously left on the table. “No rush at all.”

That, of course, was bullshit. My sister Melanie didn’t do late. She had been born two weeks premature, and the only time she’d been five minutes late—due to a flat tire—we’d been on the brink of calling 9–1-1 to file a missing person’s report. She took after my mother, both of them believing being on time was running late, and punctuality was one of the forgotten commandments.

I not so subtly gestured toward the door. “We might as well get going. I’m ready.”

“Of course.” Her smirk stayed in place. “Enjoy your day, Dave.”

He followed us out, walking us to the door where we both stopped.

We had kissed when he first arrived at the hotel under the guise of “practicing,” and then in the morning for an entirely different reason. Both times had been hotter than hell, with neither feeling pretend. But as I stood there wondering if I should do it again, I hesitated.

But he didn’t.

Taking my head in his hands, he brushed his lips against mine. There was no tongue, just lips, but it didn’t feel any less electric. My eyes closed of their own accord, leaning into him as Amy cleared her throat.

Under protest, I tore my mouth away from his, not sure how much of it had been for performance. The butterflies in my belly sure felt real. “I should go.”

“Have fun.” He kissed my nose, tipping his chin to Amy as he said goodbye. “I’ll see you when you get back.”

My fingers tightened around the strap of my purse, nodding to Amy we were good to go. Staying any longer would be dangerous, and I was going to leave even if I had to throw myself out.

She looped her arm into mine and pulled me into the hall, her infectious laugh bubbling the minute we had made it to the elevator. “Wow,” she fanned herself, “you might want to take extra precautions, girl.
