CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Penny

“You just left?” Juliana says.

I cradle my hands around my mug of coffee, blowing on the rising steam. The office is filled with bustling noise beyond the break room, but we’re alone, free to discuss yesterday’s date.

I’ve filled Juliana in, including revealing I’m a virgin.

“Yes.” I swallow. “I warned him before I did it, so it wasn’t a complete dick move.”

Juliana frowns. “And let me guess… you spent the rest of the night wondering what he thinks, what he would’ve said?”

I laugh grimly. “Yeah.”

“And I bet you checked your phone about a hundred times.”

I nod. That’s probably an understatement. After explaining to Casey what happened, she told me to call him so I didn’t have to suffer the suspense. But he didn’t text or call me all night, so all I could do was lay there and let my mind fill with all the horrible possibilities.

“I shouldn’t have told him that way,” I murmur. “Maybe I shouldn’t have told him at all. But after what we did…”

I didn’t go into detail about the way his hand bewitched me, sliding up between my legs and pressing down hard, possessively, until I felt like I had no choice but to melt for him. That moment is just for us, but I did fill Juliana in on some of what happened.

“You thought he’d want to take it further.”

“Exactly.”

“And you don’t want that?”

I shake my head, but not as a no to her question.

It’s more like I’m shaking my head against the very concept I couldn’t want Preston Packer. It’s that I want him too much, even dreaming up scenarios where I’m pregnant after our first time together.

“I don’t want to rush into something before he knows all the facts,” I say softly. “Imagine if we’d gone back to a hotel room together, or his place… and then he found out.”

“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to, Penny. Just because he’s a celebrity. Just because he’s older than you. It doesn’t mean…”

I cringe, anger flaring inside of me. My first instinct is to snap at her to mind her own business, which is insanely unfair. She doesn’t know about the need swirling around inside me every single moment, how my thoughts stray relentlessly toward him, how it never stops.

“I know that,” I say quietly. “I do want to take things further. Last night was amazing… while it lasted. We didn’t just have fun. We talked about real stuff. I even talked about my dad. I never do that. And he told me a little about his childhood.”

I remember the dark look that came into his eyes when he spoke about his dad, but events spiraled before I had a chance to follow up.

“So what are you going to do?” Juliana asks. “Do you want another date?”

“He said we were going to have one. But that was before I dropped the V-bomb. Maybe it’s changed his mind. And that would be for the best, right? That would mean I know, at least.
