I DON’T KNOW WHAT CAME over me last night. For those few minutes I completely lost myself in Derek. His scent. Pure masculinity mixed with a little mint. His taste. That metal barbell rolling and moving inside my mouth and sending a pulsing need straight to my core.

Stupid. I can’t believe I let things go that far.

Like some hormonal teenager, I practically dry humped him in the damn living room. No regard for the fact my boys were asleep down the hall and could’ve walked in on us!

But his fingers. Fuck. The way he stroked me. He knew exactly what he was doing. I’ve never been with someone like that. I came hard and fast and I won’t deny it was amazing. And the way he licked his fingers afterward. Damn. Had my brother not walked in I’m sure I would’ve fucked him right then and there.

Clearly, I’ve lost my mind.

I lost myself in Derek’s touch last night.

That was the problem.

I lost myself with Josh years ago.

And after leaving I vowed to never again lose myself in a man. Coming back from that kind of relationship almost ruined me. Recovering my individuality is something I never desire to do again.

I need to stay clear of Derek. Which is why I haven’t answered his text.

I can avoid him, at least until my shift tonight at the hospital. Though I hope he has other plans because it’s the weekend. I don’t even know what to say to him. How to act. Will this change the friendship we’ve forged these past weeks? Come on, Carly, be realistic. Of course it does.

I don’t need Derek.

I watch Ezra and Eli race across the back lawn while I sip my coffee. My phone vibrates beside me and I almost don’t look. I’m sure it’s him again.

An unknown number flashes across the screen. The masked man from last night pops into my mind and I swallow back the fear.

“Hello?” My voices quivers and I hate how weak I sound.

“Hello, Carly. I hope you don’t mind I got your number from one of your co-workers.” Garrett’s cheerful voice quiets my nerves and I sigh in relief. “I hope that’s okay and not too forward.”

“Of course, that’s fine. It’s good to hear your voice.”

“I’m glad you think so. I know it’s last minute, but I’d like you to join me tonight for a charity dinner at The Biltmore? It’s masquerade themed, and I’d love to have you by my side. That is, if you can find someone to watch your boys.” Of course, I work.

“Garrett, that’s really sweet. I’d love to go—”

“I’m sensing a ‘but’ here.” He chuckles.

“I have to work tonight.”

“I see. Of course. It was presumptuous to hope you would be available at such short notice. Could maybe . . . that is if you’d like—” There’s a pause on the line and I can’t help but grin. His nerves are apparent.

“Yes, Garrett?”

“Would you like to get coffee some morning after work? Away from the hospital? I know this charming little spot.
