“I loathe myself,” Jace muttered as he kicked his apartment door shut. The entire drive home from Isabella’s had been spent calling himself every kind of idiot. “You had it. You had it all, and you just couldn’t man the hell up and tell her how you felt. Idiot.”

“Idiot!” The voice echoed from across the room, and Jace groaned. Great. Now he’d have to deal with being mocked by the damn bird. Why hadn’t he covered the cage when he’d left?

Stalking across the room, he was tempted to do just that, but decided that being mean to animals wasn’t another bad move he was going to add to his resume. Beau had been in his cage all day, and Jace figured he might want to get out and fly around a bit. Opening the cage, he stepped back and waited. The bird blinked at him several times, and just when he was sure he wasn’t going to fly out, Beau fluttered and made his way out of the cage, squawking, “Idiot!”

“Awesome,” Jace mumbled. “This is my life.”

While Beau did his thing and stretched his wings, Jace changed into a pair of sweats and a T-shirt before grabbing a bottle of water and collapsing on the couch. It didn’t matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t seem to clear his mind of anything except how Isabella had felt as he’d sunk inside of her.

God.

Never in his life had anything felt like that.

And how had he gone about letting her know? By saying they should play it by ear. He shook his head in disgust, just like he’d been doing for the last twenty minutes. So now what? How were they realistically supposed to move forward?

Sure, they could go back to the way things were and just chalk this up as a one-time thing. But he had a feeling Isabella wouldn’t mind them doing it again. He knew he sure as hell wouldn’t mind. If it were up to him, he’d be there right now, going for round two. Only this time they’d be in her bed, and he wouldn’t be rushing.

Great. Now there was that image in his mind.

“Such a damn idiot,” he muttered, taking a drink of water.

“Idiot!” Beau repeated.

So not what he needed right now—a snarky bird hammering the point home. He was about to get up and put Beau back in his cage when his phone dinged with an incoming text. Pulling it from his pocket, he looked down and smiled.

Isabella.

Thanks for going with me tonight her text read, and Jace had to let that sink in for a moment. It was such a benign comment—something that under normal circumstances wouldn’t mean anything beyond the surface. But after what they’d done? He had to think about it. It didn’t take long for him to realize that she was simply reaching out and looking for reassurance again that they were going to be all right.

What are friends for, right?

As soon as he hit send, he groaned. Could he seriously be any worse at this?

I’m so lucky to have you.
