Of all the things Maria thought Finn might say the morning after—that them having sex had been a good thing—hadn’t been even a footnote on any of her mental lists of probabilities.

She stomped hard on that little bit of hope that something more may develop between the two of them. She would be setting herself up for heartbreak if she allowed herself to envision more than what Finn was able or willing to give.

Orgasms were one thing.

Relationships were another.

She wasn’t quite sure why he’d allowed her to sleep in as long as he had unless it was to give himself some time alone to process the redacted report.

After all this time, the document could be the key to knocking the investigation wide open.

It would be a lot to wrap his head around.

At least she had been able to offer a bit of a distraction.

Her mind immediately went to all the deliciously naughty things they’d shared the night before.

Finn must have sensed where her mind had gone because he dropped their bags and trapped her against the kitchen wall.

Tilting her chin up, he kissed her again, lingering for a breath or two before pulling away. She wanted to pull him back into bed and—

He chuckled when he saw the needy look on her face.

“What’s so funny?” she said, unable to hold back her smile.

“You looked like you would have been less surprised if I said I’d regretted last night than me kissing you.

“Do you? Regret it?”

She may regret hearing the answer, but she wanted to ask it before losing her nerve. “About last night…”

One of his brows raised, his interest piqued, but he didn’t interrupt her.

“Why didn’t we…”

He looked at her.

She looked at him. Was he really going to make her finish that sentence?

“Fuck?” he finally filled in for her.

That now-familiar heat flashed in his eyes, and the only regret she may have seen was the regret that they hadn’t. He slid his thigh between hers. “You didn’t enjoy it?”

She placed her palm on his chest, the thump of his heart against her hand tattling on him and telling her he wasn’t nearly as cool and collected as he appeared.

“You know damn good and well I did.”

The grin that spread across his face was a lethal, panty-melting mix of smug cockiness and unadulterated confidence.

But beneath all that, she knew what he was doing. He was avoiding answering the question.

Maybe you’re not good enough for him? His mother certainly doesn’t think you are.

That spark of flirty playfulness she had died, sunk in her belly, and rolled over. She broke eye contact and tried to push him away.

He took a step back because he wasn’t the kind of guy to force her to stay where
