I’m just out of the shower when my phone rings. Maddox is calling again, and this time I answer because I don’t know that I can continue to ignore him.

But I also feel stronger talking to him over the phone where I’m not dizzy with lust.

“Hello?” I answer, and I hear a sigh of relief.

“I thought I’d never hear from you again,” he says.

“Impossible. We work together.” My tone is clipped as I start to pace my room in slow steady steps.

“You could fire me,” he says, his voice going husky, and it’s a straight shot to my groin.

“What are you talking about?” I sound anxious and nervous and all the things I thought I washed off my skin a few minutes ago. But like some sort of snake charmer, he’s brought the slithery need right out of me again.

“What are you angry about? Are we moving too fast or are you upset because I didn’t get you off too?”

A squeak escapes my mouth and I’m stammering.

“Why are you that way?” he asks.

“What way?” I ask.

“Weird about sex.”

“Who likes being horny and toyed with?” I cover my eyes with my hand even though I know he can’t see me.

“If you trusted me, I would’ve made you come harder than you ever have before.”

He doesn’t know he already made that happen.

I can’t even speak. My face is hot and I’m too freaking shy, too restrained to talk to him the way I’m sure the women he’s used to would.

“You’re not a virgin, right?” He sounds a little hesitant and then adds in a rush, “I mean, if you are—”

“No!” I yell, embarrassed.

“So, what is it?”

I sit on the edge of my bed and try to figure out a way to get out of this conversation. “Nothing. I’m just not like that, I guess.”

“Come on, Em. Stop thinking so hard. When I touch you, my body reacts naturally to yours. All I want is for you to do the same. Stop worrying about things that haven’t even crossed my mind.”

“I don’t think I can,” I whisper.

“Why not?”

I shrug.

“Because I can’t trust that this is a forever thing. I know it’s too soon to talk about forever, but even if you leave me tomorrow, it’d hurt. Too much is expected of me to let that happen.”

Dear truth, welcome to the party.

“Am I making your job harder?” he asks.

“Of course you are. Especially today.” Can’t he tell?

“Good,” he says. “Because every time I’m around you, I’m off my game. Thinking of you upstairs, sitting at the same desk where I had my fingers inside of you…thinking of the fact that no one knows about us. I didn’t lie when I said it turns me on. Whenever I get frustrated by the secrecy, it brings this need inside of me to life. It makes me want more than just my fingers inside of you.”

As his words ring in my ear, though they’re said softly, almost secretly, I’m unsure how to respond. “I don’t know what to say to that,” I confess.
