Later that evening, I'm sitting on my bed as I use my phone to search for songs. When someone knocks on my door, I start slightly. "Come on in," I call, assuming it's Harper or Quinn.

The door opens, and Channing stands there. He's dressed in a casual shirt and jeans, and there's something odd in his expression as he gazes at me. He makes no move to enter my room, and his hand visibly tightens on the doorknob as he hovers in the doorway. "I didn't mean to pressure you last night," he says in a quiet, serious tone.

I had known this was coming, and my stomach drops a little. I'm not sure where this conversation is going to lead, and I can only hope that our actions last night aren't going to cause unnecessary issues between us. "I could have said no," I offer. My face heats over that bold admission.

Channing's expression is completely unreadable as his eyes stay focused on mine. "You're a housemate, and I want you to know that I respect that. You're not here for me to mess with when I'm looking to get laid."

Ouch. That stings. His emotionless expression isn't helping matters, either. "Okay," I say lightly. I had known that he'd regret it, and now I wish that I'd pushed harder to resist him last night. At least he's willing to put it behind us, so I’m thankful for that.

An awkward silence lingers between us.

"I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing." The door promptly closes behind him, and I'm alone once more.

I blink and frown. Okay, so it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, but it also could have gone better. All I can do is act normal around him and hope that further tension doesn't develop or affect the others.
