Chapter 8

Tasha cracked open an eye.

The room was no longer completely dark. Light filtered in through the thin curtains and highlighted the fact that yes, this was a crappy motel room.

Her nose felt like an icicle. Still no heat.

Yet she’d awoken with a smile on her face because she’d had pretty great sex last night.

Greg.

OMG. She’d slept with Greg, and it had been fantastic.

What had she been thinking?

She threw back the covers and started to get up, but then Greg opened his eyes and mumbled, “Stay,” so she did. It was warm and cozy next to him under the blankets.

Still, she was freaking out.

She’d suggested no-strings-attached, meaningless sex. She had casual sex on occasion to satisfy her needs. Nothing to feel guilty about.

The problem? It hadn’t simply been sex.

No, it had been pretty freaking amazing sex.

She’d enjoyed sex with her last two boyfriends, though she’d found herself thinking, It wasn’t as good as it was with Greg. Then she’d figured she was probably just looking at her first relationship with rose-tinted glasses. It had been more than a decade. The sex hadn’t actually been that spectacular, right? After all, they were each other’s firsts.

But she’d had sex with Greg last night, and it was that spectacular. The best she’d ever had. Maybe even better than it had been fifteen years ago. Someone should give that man’s tongue a prize.

The real problem wasn’t that the sex had been amazing, but that it had felt particularly intimate, and she’d loved it when he held her afterward. Like there was nowhere else she’d rather be than a crappy, cold motel room, as long as he was the one holding her. When he’d admitted he’d missed her, she’d said it back, and it had sent a curl of warmth to her heart. And when she thought about how he’d brought her hot chocolate and a Coffee Crisp, she grinned.

Yep, she had feelings for him.

Maybe they’d never gone away. Or maybe they had and just came back.

It didn’t matter. When she looked at his glasses resting on the night-table and his argyle sweater thrown over a chair, she felt a surge of affection.

Oh, no. Did she want to get back together with her ex?

No, she couldn’t.

She always looked ahead to new opportunities and experiences. Living in the past just held you back, and there was always a reason an ex was an ex. No need to revisit it.

She’d had sex without feelings before. Why couldn’t it have been like that with Greg?

He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck, and ooh, that felt good. How come everything he did felt so wonderful?

She reminded herself of Crispin, who liked to laugh and respected her boundaries.

Dammit, the bar was so low. That was the problem.

Expecting men not to send you unsolicited dick pics is very reasonable, Greg had said, and she chuckled at the memory.

Really, she didn’t understand why he didn’t do well with online dating. Compared to all the jerks out there, he was practically a saint.
