“Amazing,” she breathed.
I quickened my pace. As great as shower sex was, it was damn slippery. And nothing had more people rushing into a room than someone falling.
Giselle’s hand abandoned mine, and she grasped the wall with both hands, pushing her ass back.
Her arms began to shake, and her knees began to bend inward as her breathing became tiny gasps of air. She whimpered just before her body trembled.
That’s all it took to have me following right after her. I groaned into her shoulder as I came hard and fast, pumping a few more times to be sure I’d wrung every last drop out of me.
We stood connected for a long time, both of our chests heaving. If I was dreaming all of this, I never wanted to wake up. This week had been so much more than I expected it to be with Kincaid reaching out, me pulling off new tricks, and G finally giving me a chance. But I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t terrified by what tomorrow might bring.
Despite what I really wanted to do, I finally pulled out of her. Giselle twisted in my arms, twining her arms over my shoulders and kissing me as the shower rained over us. This girl had undoubtedly ruined me for all others.

I awoke with my head on Thayer’s chest and his strong arms wrapped around me. A blanket of clouds covered the sky, and snow flurried down onto the skylights. Although it was a beautiful sight to wake up to, unexpected sadness crept in at the thought of leaving today. I had no desire to face the reality that awaited me. Not to mention, I had no idea what that looked like for Thayer and me.
“What are you thinking?” Thayer whispered.
“How’d you know I was awake?”
“I know you,” he said.
Warmth rushed to my chest. He did know me. And he had for a long time. Why had I been so blind? “Just sad we’re heading home.”
“Yeah,” he said, and I could hear in his voice that he was thinking the same thing. “Can I say something and you don’t have to respond?”
“Of course.”
“Things are about to get more complicated if we’re both not on the same page.”
And there it was. Reality.
“Because I know without a shadow of a doubt what I want. And I also know what Kason will do if he finds out. So, I guess, I just want us to be on the same page.”
I didn’t respond because one, he said I didn’t have to. And two, I had no clue what to say. All of this had happened so quickly. My brain and my heart were out of sync.
“I know I said you didn’t have to respond,” he continued, “But if you wanna say something…”
I lifted my head and rested my chin on his chest so I could see his eyes. “I agree.” I know he wanted more from me, but I couldn’t give that to him right now.
“To which thing?”
I closed my eyes, pained by the fact that I didn’t know.
He squeezed me to him, yet again letting me off the hook. “Okay then.”
Alarmed, my eyes sprang open. “What’s that mean?”
“It means at least we had this week.”
“Don’t do that,” I warned.
“Do what?”
“Act like this is over.”
“Isn’t it?” he asked.
