Dressed only in his boxers, he pauses on his way out of the bathroom to drop a kiss to the top of my head as I pull on my panties and shirt.

“I can’t wait to show you around tomorrow.” I don’t even attempt to hide my smile. The wide grin making me look ridiculously giddy and maybe a little juvenile.

Brooks clears his throat, the look of discomfort on his face forcing my smile to fall immediately.

“What?”

Pursing his lips, he scrunches his nose up. “Henley, baby, I’m leaving tomorrow.”

I could swear my heart free-falls at that moment. Plummets from its place in my chest to my feet so fast I feel nauseous.

“I—oh. I thought . . .”

He waits expectantly.

“You thought what?” He pushes gently when I choose silence.

I shake my head side to side vehemently.

Pity overtakes his features as realization dawns. “You thought I was staying.” His eyes close.

Unsure what to say, I grind my teeth.

“Fuck, Squirrel. I don’t know what to say.”

I feel hot. “So this was just a one-night stand? A quick fuck before you go back to your real life?”

He frowns, the crease in his forehead thick with uncertainty. “No.” His head shakes. “Yes.” He sighs. “That’s not what I mean. You sent me the video. You said you wanted me,” he tests on a shrug.

“I’m a booty call.”

"What? No. You’re more than that," he argues.

“It sounds like I made your dick hard, and you’re rich enough to get what you want, when you want it, and you wanted me. You wanted to fuck me,” I correct.

"I flew across the world for you!" he bellows.

"For a night with me," I correct him.

"What?"

"You flew across the world for a night with me. To fuck me, don't romanticize it."

His jaw shakes with unrestrained anger. “What do you want, Henley?”

He takes a poignant step backward, dropping his ass to the edge of the bed where we were only moments ago consumed by one another.

"Nothing." My bottom lip tips out dismissively. "Absolutely fucking nothing."

"Jesus fuck," he spits, rubbing his hands over his face. "I have work. A fucking job that I love, one that pays me really fucking well. One that lets me jump on a plane at any given opportunity to see someone I love. I can't just up and leave it. I have responsibilities."

“Taking photos of women in their underwear.” The heavy sound of my heartbeat perforates my eardrums.

He laughs. The sound full of animosity and judgment. "Says you, who pours booze down the throats of horny backpackers. A rewarding job, Henley?" he incites.

"You're an asshole."

He's quiet for a moment, my words sinking into pores and twisting his face horribly. "That's all you'll ever see, isn't it? How everyone fails you? Instead of feeling the way they love you. I dropped everything and flew to an entirely different country to see you, and still, it's not enough."

"Of course, it's not enough!" I scream. "I love you. Why would you flying in for a quick and nasty fuck ever be enough?" I step forward, only to back up once again, needing to force a space of separation between us.
