We’d made plans to see each other tonight, but somehow it feels different when Killian’s text arrives. I need to see you tonight. Not the way he usually asks me out, checking when I’m free, asking what I’d like to do.

When? I asked him, because when that message arrives I’m still at work, helping a young couple plan their daughter’s first birthday bash. Not that their daughter is old enough to enjoy or remember how much of an effort they’re putting into the party, but it’s sweet to see them together, holding hands, almost as excited about princesses as Lina usually is. It warms my heart.

It also makes me feel almost as anxious to see Killian as he sounds right now.

He doesn’t make me wait long for an answer though. When are you free?

I finish work at 9 tonight, I reply.

Come straight here.

I have to laugh at the image. I’ll still be in my party dress and everything, you realize.

I don’t care. I need you. Now.

That last message makes my mouth go dry and my hands tingle. It’s a pleasant sensation, but one that also makes me the tiniest bit nervous. Did something happen? Does he want to have a serious conversation with me or something? He’s never texted me with quite this much urgency before. And while it makes my skin feel hot, to know how desperately he wants me, I can’t help worrying that something else might be behind this. That there’s some catch here I’m not seeing.

I realize, as I tear my mind away from the stream of texts and back to the task of party planning at hand, pasting on an empty smile as I listen to this couple chatter about their vision for their daughter’s big day, why I think that.

It’s because I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. It feels like Killian is too good to be true—hot, sexy as hell in bed, kind and considerate, a great father, a responsible grown man with his life put together… He’s a fucking diamond in a coal mine, and I keep waiting to find out that there’s some huge fucking flaw that I’m failing to notice, right in front of my face.

I shake my head and force my mind away from that train of thought. Just enjoy dating a good guy for once, I tell myself.

A good guy who’s naughtier than most of the bad ones I’ve hooked up with in the past. My skin tingles every time I think about all the places he likes to touch me, all the things he does to me when we’re alone. Last time I saw him, just a couple nights ago, he made me strip for him, outside, where any of his neighbors could have seen if they’d stayed up a little too late. Then he pulled me into the pool with him, and pinned me against the wall. Fingered me with one hand and covered my mouth with the other, because he’s learned by now
