Chapter Three

He was right. It wouldn’t be awful.

Carrie reveled in the feel of Greg’s mouth on hers. His lips were soft, but he applied the perfect amount of pressure, letting her adjust to him by degrees before slipping his tongue inside in short, gentle licks, making her grab at him in an effort to get him to go deeper, harder. But he didn’t budge. In fact, he hadn’t even touched her anywhere else. He was still standing inches apart from her, his mouth the only part of his body coming into contact with hers.

And all the while, damp heat was building between her legs.

The need rose up so quickly that when he pulled back seconds later and stepped away, she nearly cried at the loss.

He stared at her for a moment, a satisfied smile on his face. “I know.”

Part of her wanted to turn him down for being so smug. And he wasn’t even being smug, not really, when they both knew how good it had been. He was being honest. Hadn’t she told herself, time and again after what had happened with Eddie, that she didn’t want to be used again?

And here she was, contemplating being used for sex by Greg. Except while Eddie hadn’t been truthful about what he was doing, Greg was telling her up front. Temporary, just sex…could she accept being used if it didn’t mean anything?

Either way, she wanted him. That much was clear. She wanted to pull him to the floor and have him right there, right now, to ease this aching need that she’d been carrying around for too long. And if that kiss was any indication, the pleasure would be intense.

Slow down. That was the first kiss you’ve had in a long time. Don’t be too hasty.

She forced herself to calm, releasing a ragged breath. “Okay, so it would be good. And as long as we’re being honest…I want you, too. I have for—well, for a while. But I need to think about it. The idea of a temporary…thing is appealing. But I can’t say yes yet. Not like this, when it feels like an arrangement. Like I’m—buying something. Or selling it.” She wrinkled her nose. “I’m not sure. I need to think about it.”

She grabbed the door handle to pull it open, but he spoke again, stopping her. “Wait. That’s fair. I understand, and it’s fair. What if I come tomorrow, anyway, with no obligation on your end and no expectations on mine, and at the end of the day, if you still feel the same way, then we’ll walk away with no hard feelings?”

Oh, God, this felt so wrong. Yet so right. And his proposal seemed fair enough. If she still felt uncomfortable tomorrow, it’s not like she’d run into him anywhere else except the hospital. She wasn’t worried that it would be too uncomfortable there. Emergency rooms were supposed to be uncomfortable. It would be a minor blip on the radar.

She blew out a nervous breath. “Okay. Deal.”

Thank God
