SPENCER’S APOLOGY CAUGHT ME COMPLETELY off guard.

I mean, really, I haven’t heard from him since last Sunday morning, when I sent him on his way. No, I didn’t text or call him, either, so part of the blame is on me. In my defense, I’m not the one showing up at his house for a night of wild, wicked fun only to disappear until I’m ready for it again. He’s responsible for that; therefore, I kind of feel like it’s his responsibility to call me, to make some sort of concerted effort.

But not tonight.

We’re friends going to this function and I want it to remain that way. I don’t want Ellie getting suspicious that something might be going on. I can’t explain it myself, so I don’t need someone trying to figure it out for me.

While we wait for Ellie and Kingston to do whatever it is they’re doing, I climb into the limo and move to the far side of the car. Not surprisingly, Spencer joins me, coming to sit directly beside me. I was hoping he would keep his distance for a few minutes, allow me a moment to collect my thoughts. It’s too hard to focus with the warmth of his body near me, the solidity of his muscled thigh against mine.

I’m gearing up to ask him to move when the next thing I know, he is kissing me. Hard.

My mouth surrenders to his because I can’t help myself. I crave this man, even if he is bad for my health.

When he pulls back, his hands cupping my face, he looks right in my eyes.

“I’m not pretending,” he grumbles, his tone low, serious. “No matter what you want. Get that out of your head right now.”

I purse my lips, ready to go off on him, but the door opens.

Jerking away from him, I scoot closer to the window. He doesn’t move, which gives me a moment to breathe.

I don’t know what to do about Spencer. I’ve spent countless hours trying to imagine a way that this works out well. I can’t come up with anything. He’s going to get bored and move on. I’m not his type, but neither of us can deny the sex is incredible. I could see that lasting for a little while, especially while he’s trying to get over the fact that his ex is back. I’m his distraction, someone he can use to make himself feel better.

I don’t want to be that for him. I have far too much respect for myself to do that, but I feel trapped. My body wants his and I haven’t had sex like this … ever. As long as I keep my heart locked in that little box I keep it in, I’m sure I’ll be fine when we come out on the other side. On the other hand, I feel myself getting in too deep. I’ve always been a realist. I accept what I feel and I don’t make excuses.

Until him.

Funny thing is, this week, I put that extra place setting at my table and left it there.
