Rebecca had been discreet about it, but she’d watched out a window as Spencer practically sprinted from the gym. Then she’d stood at her car, one hand on it, seeming to keep her upright as she swayed slightly. Rebecca was tempted to follow her out there, to make sure she was okay, but something kept her feet rooted to the floor where she stood.

“Nothing wrong with looking,” Zoe had said the other night as they’d shot some pool. “Nothing even wrong with touching if it’s part of your job.”

“You think?” Rebecca had been skeptical.

“Sure. I mean, you’re not trying to seduce her, right? You said she’s engaged. So, you do have boundaries.” Zoe sank a solid orange ball, which was Rebecca’s. “Damn it. As long as you keep them in your sights, I say take advantage. It’s fun to be close to somebody you find attractive.”

Rebecca lined up a shot. “Okay. That makes sense, I think.”

“And for the love of all that’s holy, stay off her girlfriend’s Facebook page. That’ll just make you crazy.”

“That also makes sense,” Rebecca had agreed, with a self-deprecating grimace.

She’d replayed that conversation a few times in her head, and when Spencer had arrived, standing at the front desk with Lucy, looking all fresh and pretty, Rebecca had decided to take Zoe’s advice for a spin. Why not?

Rebecca was careful. She didn’t go overboard. There’d been no unnecessary touching, only when Spencer needed help with her form. But Rebecca’s fingers had tingled every single time, and now, after Spencer’s hasty departure, she wasn’t sure what to do with that. Instead of feeling satisfied, she was more confused than ever, and that made her a little bit…irritated. With Zoe. With Spencer. But mostly with herself.

Maybe Nick was rubbing off on her, making her think it was fine to touch a woman just because she found her sexy. In the next breath, she shook her head at her own gross overgeneralization about men. Nick would never do such a thing, and that made Rebecca feel even worse.

She watched out the window as Spencer stood up and dropped her head back as if looking to the sky for some kind of answer, her long, elegant throat a feast for Rebecca’s eyes. Then she got in her car and drove away a bit faster than was safe, in Rebecca’s opinion.

Rebecca stood there long after Spencer was out of sight, her thoughts racing through her head like cars around a Nascar track. This had never happened to her before. Sure, she’d been attracted to lots of women in her life. She’d even been attracted to more than one client. But she’d never reached this level of…What was it? Frustrated desire? Unwelcome arousal? She’d had her reservations about Spencer from the beginning, and realized now that Spencer had never actually answered the question Rebecca had posed: why it was okay that Marti had signed her up, had basically told her she needed to get in better shape. Instead, she’d redirected
