Lying back on the hard motel bed, I stared up at the ceiling.

Hopefully Sean was on his way to a club in Flatstick, or looking through Grindr, or texting a reliable booty call. He deserved a night of stress-free sex with someone who didn’t alternate between reckless and indecisive.

I closed my eyes and pushed out a breath.

I didn’t even try to convince myself I would’ve come to my senses before we’d gone too far. We’d gone too far the moment we’d made contact again, and if Sean hadn’t put a stop to things, I damn sure wouldn’t have. Should’ve, yes. Would’ve? Not a chance. Didn’t matter how much was on the line or how fucking stupid it was for us to be anywhere near each other—one look at Sean, and all my rational thinking went out the window.

Well, at least one of us was levelheaded. Ironically, he was exactly the kind of person I needed—someone who balanced out my impulsiveness. Even if he was also exactly the kind of irresistible temptation that was my Achilles’ heel. He might have been levelheaded and rational, but he was also just . . . so . . . hot.

I stared up at the ceiling again. If he’d stayed, we’d probably be done by now. The first round, anyway. It was always fast and furious, especially if we’d been apart for more than a couple of days. So we’d probably be lying here, sweaty and out of breath, debating if we could stand long enough for a shower or if we should just wait until after we’d inevitably fucked again.

Goose bumps prickled my skin. That man. My God.

At least with the sex, I knew what I was missing by letting him go. What drove me out of my mind was the unknown. Even if we couldn’t sleep together, I wanted to get to know him more. What was he studying? What did he want to do after he graduated? Where had he been? Where did he want to go?

But we couldn’t. Period. It didn’t matter that I’d started to realize Sean was everything I wanted in a man. I had no business getting involved with him—staying involved with him—unless I really wanted to kiss admiral good-bye and go to court-martial instead.

My career was everything to me. I’d given the Navy over half my life, lost some of my best years, and had some scars of both the mental and physical variety to show for it. This career was not something I had ever taken lightly.

Yet one look at Sean . . .

I wiped my hand over my face and swore aloud. I was obsessed. That was all it was. I’d been dumped, and needed a rebound, and gotten myself in too deep. Fortunately, Sean had done the right thing.

In my mind, I replayed the moment Sean had backed off. Though he’d kept a pretty stoic face, even now I could see the tension in his features and the obvious struggle in his eyes. He hadn’t wanted to leave any more than I had—he just had the wherewithal to put a stop to things.
