CHAPTER FOURTEEN

How many times had Serena’s mother warned her that she should be careful what kind of face she made, because it just might get stuck that way? Sure, she’d been trying to get Serena to stop sticking her tongue out at the time, but the phrase had taken on a whole new meaning today.

Serena. Could. Not. Stop. Smiling.

With the exception of Sunday dinner with the family, she’d spent the entire weekend with Cole. So much of their acquaintance thus far had been fraught with these confessions in the dark, but for that little, beautiful pocket of time, the shadows had receded. Maybe it was simply that they’d traumaed themselves out. Maybe they’d both been ready for some time to just be, watching movies in their pajamas and eating all the amazing things he’d baked in his insomnia.

Maybe it was all the sex.

A tickle of heat licked along her spine, and her smile turned positively goofy as she parked in one of the visitor spots at Upton, gathered up her bundle, and got out.

God, that man. She’d thought their first time had been incredible, and it had been. Filthy and revelatory and delicious, but he’d only just been getting started. If she’d known all the things he could do with his tongue when she’d met him...she still would’ve had to keep her hands to herself until he was ready. But she wasn’t sure how she would have done it.

Someone else was coming out of the administrative building just as Serena was walking in. She shifted her bag to her other hand and got the door, her grin just about breaking her face. Ugh. This was going to become a problem at some point. Already today she’d let her kids get away with way more than she normally would have, but you try disciplining a misbehaving middle schooler with an idiotic sex grin stamped on your face.

And seriously, if a room full of preteens couldn’t kill her smile, nothing could. Not even...

“Mrs. Cunningham.” Serena waved in greeting as she strode into the office, and nope. Not even that sour grinch could get her down today. “How are you?”

Mrs. Cunningham glowered. “Not as well as you, it would seem.” She glanced over Serena’s shoulder. “Your friend didn’t accompany you today?”

She was going to have to give Cole a hard time about that later. Apparently, he’d made quite the impression. For now, though, she shook her head as she made her way to the desk. “Just me.”

“Pity.” Okay, maybe this woman was going to be able to dampen Serena’s mood after all. “It’s a coincidence you should happen to stop by. Mr. Trousseau mentioned that he’d like to have a word with you.”

Never mind. If anything, Serena’s smile widened. God, her face actually hurt. “He did?”

“Indeed.” She waved toward the rear of the office. “You can go on through.”

Serena could have kissed that ugly mug. Somehow, she refrained.

With a whole new lightness in her step, she headed on back. Just before Grayson’s door, she paused, taking a deep breath before she stepped up and knocked.
