Naughty Little Secret

“Kat, I’ve really screwed up,” Lauren clutched the steering wheel of her car in one hand and the cell phone in the other, while navigating five o’clock traffic from downtown Dallas to thèburbs north. “You’ve got to help me.”

“You’re not the dramatic one,” Kat teased. “That’s my job. So whatever you did couldn’t be that bad.”

“No?” she challenged. “Remember Noah Reeves?”

“Oh, yes. Yummy bachelor. Tim’s buddy, right? Hey, you work for him now, don’t you?”

“Yes on all counts. And I’ve got this…crush on him. Which is crazy.

He’s a total playboy, and I don’t need a broken heart. I’m trying to forget it. All the while, he’s asking me advice on how to get some other woman, a divorcée, to give him the time of day.”

Kat whistled. “That sucks.”

“Completely.

“Is he totally insensitive?”

“Not insensitive. Clueless. I’ve tried really hard not to let on…”

“At least I don’t have to kick his balls in for being a jerk on purpose—

yet.”

“Listen to me. He wants to marry this woman. He’s never thought the word marriage in thirty-nine years, much less said it to anyone else. The minute I get interested in him, he’s all into white lace and promises with someone else.”

“He didn’t attack me. I’m fine.” Lauren sighed, wondering how she was going to explain this to her sister. She was supposed to be the level-

Damn.

“What happened?”

“He—he seduced me. It’s hard to call 911 when you wake up bound to your own bed, writhing in pleasure.”

“What???”

Lauren frowned. “That does sound bad, doesn’t it? Well…whoever this guy is, he’s damn good between the sheets.”

“You slept with a total stranger who snuck into your house? Like, he was there to steal your DVD player but since it was broken, he just decided to nail you instead? And you let him?”

“Not like that, Kat. He said he came there for me. To be with me. To seduce me. He says he wants me and that I know him, but I can’t place his voice. He whispers a lot, tries to disguise his voice by talking low and gruff.”

“Are you sure you’re not confusing seduction with coercion? This is not like you, and I gotta tell you, I’m worried. Really worried. I’m pretty sure the kind of guy who sneaks into a stranger’s house in order to ‘be with her’ has some sort of psychological disorder that’s long, hard to pronounce, and shared by a long list of serial killers.”

“It’s not like that. He’s not like that. It’s…” Realizing that she was defending the very situation about which she’d come to her sister for advice, Lauren fell silent.

“He’s not like that yet. You’re lucky that, so far, he hasn’t been, like, psycho lover who knows lots about knives and how to chop stupid women up into little bitty pieces.
