The ride home was almost silent except for the soft music playing from the truck’s radio. Walker spent the entire half hour trying to find ways to ask Aja what she was thinking as she stared out the window. Every time he came up with something halfway decent, he decided against it. He didn’t want to disturb the peaceful silence they’d created. Plus, he wasn’t sure he wanted to know the answer.

Neither of them made an immediate move to get out of the truck when he pulled into the parking lot of Aja’s apartment building. They sat there, perfectly still, listening to the crickets chirp like they couldn’t bear for their time together to end.

Aja turned to him after a few minutes. He could barely see her face in the darkness, but he caught the outline of her, the little glimpses of her eyes and lips and cheeks he could make out in the moonlight.

“I should go in.”

“Yeah, I should probably be gettin’ home to check on Gram,” he agreed. “Just hold up a second.”

He shot out of the truck, jogging to her side so he could open the door and help her step out. “This may not have been a real date, but I’d still like to walk you to your door if that’s all right.”

“I’d like that too.” She smiled, linking her arm in his.

When they got to her door, things turned slightly awkward. Walker knew what he wanted to do and say, but he didn’t know if she’d be open to them. He watched as she unlocked her door, then turned to him. Her gaze was soft and open, and he knew then that he had to at least try, or he’d regret it forever.

“One more thing,” he said quietly, linking their fingers together. “Before you go?”

“What is it?”

He paused. “I’d like to kiss you one more time. Before the rules really go into effect.”

Aja swallowed, then her mouth dropped open a little. He watched as her breathing deepened.

“Yes.” It was emphatic—and it was all he needed.

His hands went to her waist, pressing her back against the door. If this was the last kiss that he was ever going to get from her, he was going to make it memorable.

The slide of their lips was hot and wet, and when her tongue touched his, his dick pulsed. His fingers clutched her full hips, digging into the fleshy parts of her, trying to hold on, aching to take. It was overwhelming how much he wanted her, how much something as simple as a kiss had him teetering on the edge of control. Had he ever felt like this before? He didn’t think he had.

He forced himself to pull back before he broke their pact only hours after they’d made it. Their mouths clung together, spit-slick and swollen. Aja’s eyes were blown wide, darker than they usually were. He was sure that his reflected the same darkness.

“I should go.” His voice was completely wrecked. “Before…”

“Right.” She nodded. “Yeah, definitely.
