***

Quinn was awake now. He’d been ready to fall asleep after a long day of work, and trying not to think about Lark and the fact that he’d determined never to touch her again.

Sure, it was early, but it was tiring walking around with a hard-on that could cut glass. And he’d been ready to work out his frustrations with his right hand. He hadn’t had to help himself this much since he’d been a teenager. But damn, Lark Mitchell made him feel like a horny sixteen-year-old.

Then she’d texted him. And offered to sext with him. Well, that was something he’d never done before.

He wasn’t about to start now either. If he was going to have her, he wasn’t doing it with this kind of distance between them again. He wasn’t coming on his sheets again, or going unsatisfied again. If she wanted him, she was going to have to have him, in the flesh.

He paced the length of his living room, in front of the windows. It was dark outside, the lights from inside creating a reflection that obscured the view and only let him see himself. Pacing. Like a man who was thoroughly hooked by a woman. Like a man who was caught by the balls.

Basically, he was acting like what he was.

How had this happened? How had he gone from intending to seduce this geeky, awkward girl to feeling like he was the one who would die if he didn’t have the woman? It was ridiculous.

Headlights pierced through his reflection in the window, aiming straight for his heart, which jolted like it had been hit.

She was here. And he was shaking inside.

What the hell was his problem?

She was. She was his problem. And he was about to solve it.

The knock on the door was hardly that of the bold, brazen woman who filled his imagination. It was hesitant. Soft. If he hadn’t been expecting it, he might not have heard it.

He went to the door and saw Lark standing there, clutching a tub of ice cream. Her eyes were red, her nose was red, her hair hanging loose and tangled around her face. She was in the same clothes she’d worn at work today. The only difference between then and now was how thoroughly rumpled she looked. How miserable.

She took a deep breath, her shoulders rising and falling with the action. Her breasts probably did too, and he would have been more interested in that. But he breasts were covered by the ice cream.

“Can I come in?”

“Of course.” He moved back from the door and she walked in slowly, dark eyes wide, searching the room.

“There are no ninjas hiding behind my furniture and preparing to ambush you, so stop looking so nervous.”

She looked at him, a crease between her eyebrows. “I was more afraid you were going to ambush me. And a little afraid you wouldn’t, considering our talk earlier.”

“What’s going on? A meaner man might call you a tease, you know?”

“I’m not meaning to be. I’m not teasing.
