HAILEY

A little dazed, I rolled onto my back to stare at the slowly turning fan. I was still basking in the aftermath of that explosive orgasm, but there was something else there, too. A sense that things wouldn’t be the same again.

I wondered if Ryan was going to freak out and run. He hadn’t on Friday, but that had been sexy and fun. This had been something else altogether.

It wasn’t fun and games, it was intense. Maybe it was because we’d technically known each other since we were kids, and he knew my history, or maybe it was something else entirely.

Ryan stepped out of the bathroom, and my heart skipped a beat. He was so heartbreakingly handsome. He was tall and lean but still muscular. He was strong and proud and so damn hot.

There was a heat in his eyes that told me he still wanted me despite what we’d just done. He knelt on the bed, then moved over me, dropping kisses as he went.

A rush of affection poured through me. It wasn’t love, but it was something more than like.

When his face hovered over mine, I rested my palm on his cheek. “Hey, sexy.”

He smiled down at me. “Hey, yourself.”

“No regrets?” I couldn’t stop the hope that soared through my body. Could we do this?

“Fuck no.” He braced himself so that his weight wasn’t resting on my body and kissed me deeply, erasing any fear or doubt.

I was going to ask if he wanted to stay, but he seemed to have already made up his mind. When he finally came up for air and settled on one elbow to study me, I asked, “Do you need to get Corey?”

I hated to burst the bubble we’d erected around us, but his son came first.

“He’s staying overnight at a friend’s house.” He settled on his back, one arm stretched out on the pillow behind me, and the other reached for something on the nightstand. “I should check my phone just in case he needs me, though.”

“Of course.”

Ryan got up and grabbed his phone from his jeans pocket. “Nothing. He’s probably good.”

“If you have to go—”

“Not unless he wants me to pick him up, and now that he’s a little older, I don’t usually get calls like that anymore.”

“You like this new friend?” I asked as he settled against the headboard.

“He seems like a good kid.”

I moved to sit next to him, and Ryan curled a strand of my hair around his finger. “Being here in your bed seems surreal.”

“Does it?” My heart was pounding under my ribs. I wasn’t sure what he was getting at.

He looked at me like he was afraid I was going to disappear at any second. “I can’t explain it.”

“Is it because of my brother?” I didn’t want to say his name in my bed after what we’d just shared.

“You were so young when I left.”

I was twelve when he got Tiffany pregnant. I was just starting to get crushes on boys, and he was my first.
