COLLIN

My knuckles knock on her front door, the sound reverberating through the wood.

Lark doesn’t answer, so I knock again.

“Hello?” Her voice comes through the door.

“Open up, it’s me,” I tell her.

The door creaks open, and when she sees I’m standing in her hallway, she opens it fully. “What are you doing here?”

Her cute little sweatpants and sweater set have my mouth watering. It’s the same pink as her bedframe, molds to her curves, and looks so damn soft I want to run my hands over her.

“You didn’t come into the office today, so I thought I’d bring dinner to you.”

Lark doesn’t move, only raising one eyebrow. “I don’t come into the office a lot of days, and I didn’t invite you over.”

We’ve seen each other three of the last five days, and I thought we talked about it. Exclusive. Which means when I want to, or she wants to, we are freely open to say so and see each other.

I huff an annoyed breath. “I wanted to see you, brought Indian food, and maybe I’ll give you an orgasm or two. Sound good?”

God, this woman was an immovable brick wall.

“Fine. But you should know I’m mad at you.” She lets me in and follows me as I set down the takeout bag on her kitchen table.

“What did I even do?”

“Your episode has been top of the charts since yesterday.”

When I turn, after setting down the bags, Lark is standing in the middle of her apartment, arms folded, tits sitting high, scowl directed straight at me.

“You’re really that pissed about my episode beating yours out?” It strikes me now just how at odds we are.

I’d been over the moon that my episode had done so well. I interviewed St. Nicky, this guy who owns an erotic dancing—read: stripping—service that goes around to Christmas parties that want a little spice. He talked about some of the wildest holiday parties they’d been a part of, some behind-closed-doors secrets of some of the biggest companies who use them, and other sexual topics that perfectly melt in the Christmas theme.

It went viral. Not only am I ecstatic, but my listens are through the roof. And not once have I thought about how that impacts Lark. That’s probably why I have never been boyfriend material because I am used to being selfish.

And she is fucking pissed; that much is evident.

“I want that prime release day, Collin. Of course I’m pissed. Just because I like fucking you doesn’t mean I don’t want to beat you.”

Didn’t I have the same thoughts early on when Nic and Kelly announced the stipulations to be promoted to Mondays? Though, over the course of the last few weeks, that competitiveness waned.

“What we’re doing between us hasn’t changed a thing for you?”

Walking to her, I pull her into my arms because I can’t help not to. It’s been a full twenty-four hours since I touched her, and that seems like a lifetime. When the hell have I ever been this desperate for a chick?

She rolls her eyes and lets out a pouty little huff.
