Chapter Seventeen

What had she been thinking? God, she was such a Fogarty. Paige berated herself the rest of the day. She never should have kissed him. Never should have gone over there.

She felt so stupid. Like the virgin who fell for the player. Casual sex was not her thing at all. She was smarter. More disciplined. She had self-respect, damn it.

Although she liked sex. A lot. She’d been missing it and that was the reason she’d been such a pushover, she told herself. She’d definitely go with that, and reminded herself that they were consenting adults, no crimes had been committed. It had happened, it had been a one-off thing, and they could just pretend it hadn’t happened.

She snorted as she dried off after a vigorous shower. Yeah, he’d probably go along with pretending nothing had happened. What did she think? That he would start behaving possessively? Want to date her?

She could just imagine what his mother would think of that.

She sighed, depressed. Despite her shower, she could still smell him on her skin. The memory of his touch, intimate and knowing, was so visceral, her breaths shortened and her blood heated.

If any part of her had thought having sex, finishing what they’d started so long ago, would actually exorcise him from her system, she was wrong. Now she knew how good he made her feel and her stupid, horny, Fogarty libido wanted more.

Sterling was on the north side of the building Monday, discussing the sprinkler system with Quinn, when he caught sight of Paige across the yard, her gold-yellow dress snapping around her knees. Every male instinct he owned leapt up and took notice.

She spotted them and hesitated.

Quinn waved and she veered toward them, slowly picking her way across the yard.

Sterling instantly felt like an ass. He hadn’t called. That wasn’t like him. He wasn’t a wham-bam, thanks-Ma’am guy. He was a dinner and flowers and call the next day gentleman.

He’d been tied up with his parents, but that had been an excuse. He’d also been tied up internally, really stunned by how volatile they’d been. He never forgot a condom.

And he hadn’t known what to say if he called. Thanks? Neither of them had planned to fall into bed. Getting involved with Paige wasn’t on his agenda. The opposite was. He was supposed to be showing some self-control and keeping their relationship professional-friendly. Not fuck-buddy work-buddy convenient.

“Good morning,” she said as she got close enough. Color came into her cheeks and she skittered her gaze away before meeting his, looking to Quinn. “Where’s Lyle? I need to ask him something.”

“I sent him home,” Sterling said, immediately getting the crinkly-brow, defensive scowl that annoyed him.

“Why?” At least she was making eye contact.

“No safety goggles.”

“Couldn’t he borrow or purchase a pair from the supply room?” She swung that to Quinn.

“Uh—”

“You either come prepared to work or you don’t work,” Sterling said. It didn’t escape him that they were having the same argument they’d started before he’d hauled her into his bedroom and come hard and deep inside her.
