Gin spent another hour staring at a ceiling she couldn’t see. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt her thigh pressed against Lex, the short hairs at his nape under her fingers, his breath against her cheek. She’d thought for a moment he would turn that intimacy into a kiss. Because he was vulnerable, recovering from acute anxiety, and needed a safe place to rest, not some avaricious woman lifting her lips to his, she’d pretended her knee-weakening yearning was all in the spirit of Olivia’s PR scheme and staggered away.

Her avaricious lips intended to punish her all night with a full-sensory retrospective of Lex Perry’s Greatest Kiss Hits. The same way he never wrote a bad song, he never delivered a bad kiss, so it promised to be a long, squirmy night.

Particularly after the selection moved on from mouth-to-mouth kissing.

She threw off the blankets. Screw it. She might as well not-sleep staring at her empty computer screen. Perhaps she’d be inspired to write porn. Movie producer hires composer despite budget shortfall and must resort to alternative means of come-pensation. The exploitative element of the employer-employee relationship, if it didn’t fly right over the target audience’s heads, would only enhance their titillation.

She’d been asked to release Perry-Greene sex tapes often enough that she knew exactly what the people wanted. This way, she could give it to them without the unsightly scars and violations of privacy.

Lex’s door was wide open, the room dark and quiet. Flickering light summoned Gin down the hall toward the living room.

He sprawled on the couch, a game controller in his hands. The only light came from the television, where his character dual-wielded swords against a spider the size of a sedan. The volume was muted, subtitles on, so the grunts and randomized battle cries wouldn’t disturb anyone with the enviable ability to sleep.

He glanced at her, and the screen’s glow glinted off his glasses.

Did he get bored being a sex god and decide to dabble in adorable to see how many new worshipers he could collect? All he needed was a puppy and an Instagram account, and women everywhere would be rioting in the streets in his name.

He tapped a button that paused the game. “What are you wearing?”

She plucked at her gift from Ethan — a custom-ordered powder pink tee that shouted BAYOU PUSSY VOODOO in rainbow glitter paint. “Ethan’s starting a clothing line.”

“Damn. I wanted to use it as the name of my side band.”

“I’m sure you two can work out a licensing agreement.”

He patted the cushion beside him. “Have a seat. Watching me dungeon dive will put you to sleep in no time.”

Sitting that close to him would nullify any sedative effects of Skyrim, but there was plenty of upholstered real estate outside the neighborhood of temptation.

She wedged herself into the corner of the sofa farthest from Lex and watched as he resumed the arachnid fight.

He finished off the spider and offered the controller to her. “Loot for me, rogue.
