I stare down at my phone, blinking. I can’t believe this. Any of it. All the way home yesterday evening, all I could think was, what did I just do? Why did I do that? What’s the matter with me? Questions along those lines, questions that continue to batter my brain even though I try to downplay them.

My God, it’s just sex, right? But I know better. I’m not one to sleep around willy-nilly with every handsome guy I meet, especially someone I work with. I’m a professional. Not only that, but behaving in such a way just isn’t part of my personality. And yet…

So I ask myself again. What did I do? And more importantly, why? A myriad of emotions have been attacking my brain all morning, and the lack of sleep last night, due to my memories replaying over and over again what I had done with Cody kept me awake until the wee hours of the morning. And even then, I had dreamed of him, of his strong arms, his warm skin, the feel of his calloused hands roaming my shoulders, my breasts, my ass… Dammit!

How am I supposed to do my job when I can’t even keep my legs together with people I’ve worked with? Okay, not people—person. I’ve never done this before, not even been tempted. And yet Cody Steel happens to be the one person that I do need to work with to keep this project on track. How am I supposed to do that when personal emotions get involved? Or are they?

Which sends me down yet another rabbit hole. What does Cody think of our… sex? Coupling? Hook-up? I don’t even know what to call it. For me, it’s not just sex or a causal hook-up. I’m not that kind of girl. I don’t claim to be super-experienced in either sex or relationships, but I don’t have sex with someone I don’t care about. So what does that mean?

I know, but I don’t want to think it. I do anyway. I like Cody. I like him. A lot. He’s more than just a grumpy guy. I know that. I don’t know how I know that, but I do. I sense that beneath that tough exterior of his, there’s a nice guy. Maybe even a sweet guy. He’s just crammed that guy deep down inside him behind a gruff and bristly exterior. But boy, what an exterior!

For about the tenth time today, I feel the heat rising in my cheeks. I feel it in my upper chest and my neck and know without even looking in a mirror that my face is beet red. This has got to stop. This is unacceptable!

And he’s just called me. Not five minutes ago. He’s never called me before, never even seemed interested in calling. Until yesterday, I didn’t even realize he had a phone. Sure, he has one of those archaic flip-phones, so at least I know now that he has a communication device. God. I sound like I’m a writer for Star Trek or something.
