“What the fuck?”

I bury my face in my hands as soon as the door closes behind me, muffling the sound of my words. What the fuck did I just almost do? Why did I stop? Am I crazy? My mind plays over those last few minutes in Wyatt’s truck and a shiver runs through me. I clench my thighs together, feeling the slick need there. I have to stop myself from throwing open the door and chasing after him. I can’t have sex with Wyatt. I can’t. So, why is it all I can think about right now? I remember the feel of his mouth on mine, his hand on my breast, his hips between my thighs. I feel myself grow even more wet just thinking about it. So, why did I stop him?

I sit on the couch and cover my face with my hands again. I’m a mess. I want Wyatt. I know I do. It’s stupid to pretend otherwise, especially after my performance in his truck tonight. I also know why I’m hesitating. I know his reputation. I’ve known guys like him my whole life. Hell, I was raised by one. And that’s not the kind of man I need in my life. That’s not the kind of man I want. Am I destined to end up just like my mother? In love with a man who can’t be faithful to one woman? Whoa, there. Love? Who said anything about love? Not me. Nope. Lust, certainly. But love? I don’t think so.

Even as I mentally list all the reasons Wyatt and I can’t work, there’s a little voice in my head whispering that maybe he’s more than he seems. Maybe he’s more than his reputation. So, what if he is? I’m not staying here in Oak Hill. I have a life and friends and an apartment in another state. That nagging voice whispers again. So, what’s the problem? Have fun with him while you’re here and go home satisfied. The idea holds some appeal. A lot of appeal, actually. The more I consider it, the more I like it. And I have no doubt that Wyatt would leave me absolutely satisfied. Another involuntary shiver goes through me at the thought.

There’s no rule saying he can’t be in the friend zone with benefits. Is that even a thing? I’m not sure, but I think maybe it should be. I can hook up with Wyatt, have my fun for the next few weeks, no strings attached. Then, when I’m finished with this assignment and Captain Fuckface Jared is history, I can go back home to South Carolina happy and carefree. It’s a solid plan, right? I sigh, chewing my thumbnail. I need a second opinion. I grab my cell and call the one person I can always count on for brutal honesty.

Mya picks up on the second ring.

“It’s kinda late, boo.”

I wince, glancing at the time. “Sorry,” I say. “Did I wake you up?”

“Nah, I was reading a book.”

“Look at you!” I tease.
