Ethan had asked if I minded if he worked for a bit in the gym lounge area, then squeezed in a workout with Rodrigo. Apparently, Rodrigo had challenged him to learn how to box. The fact that he’d accepted had made me smile once I’d headed back to my office. Maybe the idea of dangerous stuff with me really was changing Ethan, even if only a little.

He’d showered and stuck his head in my office, and I hadn’t been able to resist chatting with him about his day. That had turned into me noticing a pretty good cut above his eyebrow, which had turned into me dragging him upstairs to my place to patch him up. Now we were making out against the wall, first aid kit forgotten.

My phone buzzed against my hip, where I’d shoved it in the waistband of my pants. Not the most elegant solution, but I was not a purse sort of girl. I’d learned from my backpacking trips in South America that if you couldn’t carry something on your person, you didn’t really need it anyway – learning not to get bogged down had been the object of my four years away from home. I would have answered it, or at least looked at the screen to see who it was, but at that moment Ethan had started to do something to the inside of my forearm with his fingers, lightly tracing patterns there, moving toward my elbow slowly, that made my brain completely fuzzy. I looked up at him though heavy lids, and the soft look of adoration on his face made my heart stutter. Here was this guy, this man, who I’d found once, lost, and then found again. Who liked spending time with me, who wanted me, who adored me. Me.

Whose hand had moved from stroking my arm to reaching for my hip. Ethan pulled me in to him, and my whole world condensed to the point where his thumb had worked its way under the hem of my shirt and was now drawing a slow, intense circle around my hip bone. We’d been together less than twenty-four hours ago, and here I already wanted him again. My thighs clenched together, and he tugged me closer, dipping his head to press his lips to my jaw in that way I loved so much.

And then my phone buzzed again.

“Do you want to get it?” Ethan said, voice low, at my neck. And then the reality of my life came flooding back. The Knockout. Dad. The House. So many factors that meant no, I couldn’t just ignore a call.

“I don’t want to,” I sighed. “But I should.”

“Probably a good idea,” he chuckled as I fished the phone out of my waistband. “I have a meeting downtown in an hour. Would have been cutting it close.”

“Presumptuous of you,” I said with a grin. He just shot me a smile back, and I sucked in a recovering breath before touching the green button to answer the call.
