Monday

As my body’s lethargy ebbed, it was replaced by something that felt suspiciously like guilt. My breathing returned to normal, but my heart rate remained elevated.

What the fuck just happened?

Clearly, I knew what had happened—I had sex with Tawny. But that wasn’t sex—that was...

I rolled to the side and squeezed my eyes shut. Fear mixed with the guilt as it ripped up my chest, clogging my throat.

Shit. Shit, shit, shit. I’d connected with her. No way could I claim that was just a release of tension. Maybe it was the lack of a condom? I’d heard guys talk about the skin to skin experience. Much as I wanted to grasp onto that option, I didn’t want to lie to myself.

Tawny made me feel; Tawny made the experience richer, deeper…perfect.

“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice tentative.

I hated that I’d given her a reason to question me or what we’d done. None of this was her fault.

Well, it kind of was her fault because she’d pushed for us to have sex just as much as I’d wanted to love her.

What? Love? No. No.

Had I learned nothing from my time with Kara? And, sure, Tawny said she had an implant, but how did I know that, really? What if she’d set this whole thing up, all of it, to try to get her hands on my dad’s wealth?

What if she was in league with Kara? What if she was worse?

“Yeah.” I choked on the word. After a sharp inhalation, I tried again. “I’m good. I should be asking you. How are you feeling? Did I hurt your leg?”

All my willpower went into meeting her eyes. I felt so damn raw, and my gaze dipped to her flushed breasts, the smooth skin of her belly, and the sexy flare of her hips. I wanted her again. Even with these questions swirling through my head…even wondering how far she’d go to snag a wealthy man…I was hard. As if the most intense orgasm of my life hadn’t just ripped through me.

I tensed. She must have felt my response because she tensed, too.

Her eyes widened and tears built in them.

“Um, I’m fine. I’ll just go to the bathroom, and…”

She fled.

I threw my arm over my eyes and groaned. I let her leave the bed upset. Fuck me, I was a moron.
