Mikki leaned into Jared as they walked through the hotel lobby. His arm wrapped behind her back, and his hand rested on her hip. A tiny voice in her head whispered a reminder that this wasn’t going to last. She was getting too attached for a couple-day fling.

Which was silly. She wasn’t attached. Or maybe just a little. But what was the point in doing something like this if she didn’t enjoy it?

It was late enough that the only people still awake were in the casino, and the desk clerk, who looked like he was falling asleep on his feet. Mikki and Jared had hopped from one topic to the next without much pause. Whether it was the latest in technology, or stupid things they’d done to cram for deadlines both in school and at work.

She didn’t know if she’d enjoyed a conversation that much in…well…ever.

“The tongue piercing was because of a guy.” She winced as soon as the words were out. Why had she just said that? That annoying, tiny voice squeaked it was because this was a good way to put distance between them. Or maybe it was just too easy to be honest with him. She didn’t want to hold anything back.

He glanced at her as they stepped into an elevator. “Did he ask you to? Do you regret it?”

She might have tried to brush the comment off, but stubbornness forced out a response. “I don’t do regrets. And no, he didn’t ask. Not in so many words.”

“How do you hint at something like that?” He pulled his arm away to push the buttons for their floors and shoved his hand back in his pocket after.

Disappointment ached in her limbs at the loss of contact. She should probably get used to it now. Which also meant plowing ahead with her story. “My first real boyfriend was a guy I dated after college.” It felt odd saying these things out loud, especially to Jared, but at the same time it felt safe. “He broke up with me because I wasn’t wild enough.” And too immature, and boring in bed, and too focused on work, and, and, and…

Jared half turned and studied her face. “I can’t even imagine.”

“Yeah, well, I decided to prove him wrong. I did everything I’d ever heard him mention he thought was hot. Pierced my tongue, started wearing the clothes I wanted instead of what I thought other people wanted, stopped holding back.” She stared up in to his eyes. Jared hadn’t looked away yet. In fact, was that a tiny smile playing on his face? “Except it turned out I liked it. A lot more than I liked him. I told him no when he asked for a second chance, and never looked back.”

He brushed a strand of hair off her forehead. The gentle gesture raced through every inch of her, humming along her skin. His voice was low and firm. “Don’t misunderstand. You’re gorgeous. But the way you think—the way your mind works—is at least half of your sex appeal.
