She relaxes against me. “What?”
I chuckle. It’s a bit mean, but it’s also the truth, and I can’t help myself. I’ve had a tight leash on my true nature since I’ve been here, and I want to let it loose, to remember what it feels like.
I stroke over her swollen flesh, and she shudders a bit. It’s a bone-deep satisfaction. “Just know that when you face me for the first time, and you’re all humiliated by your wanton actions, I’m going to know you’re sore from my fingers pounding inside you. And I want you to know, as our eyes meet, that despite all the ways you’ll hate me, I’ll knowexactlyhow much you loved it.”
She bats at me half-heartedly. “You’re such an arrogant bastard.”
I whisper as she grows heavy on me, “Honey, you don’t know the half of it.”

The second my eyes pop open, I’m horrified.
My head pounds from the liquor I consumed, but it pales compared to my mortification.
I mean, I predicted the consequences last night, but it’s even worse than I imagined. If only I hadn’t let alcohol make me believe I’d get over it.
What have I done?
My mind fills with images of me riding Caden in the car, the way he made me come.
The things he said to me.
The things I said to him.
I groan, flop over onto my stomach, and shield my eyes from the sun with my arm. What exactly came over me?
Caden, that’s what.
The man has put me under some sort of spell—plied me with tequila and a good time, and look where it got me. Despite my best efforts to stay away from him, to keep my distance, I fell into his clutches the first chance I got.
And what really gets me, what really sticks in my craw… It’s all my fault.
Hekept his distance just fine.
Hehad no problem resisting me.
Hedidn’t seem to suffer any temptation at all.
I practically begged him, and he refused me!
Yes, he let me use him as a masturbation tool, but he hadn’t really been a participant.
I am so mortified I’m not sure how I can face the day.
But unfortunately, I have no choice.
Things are crazy, and my to-do list is out of control.
So, here’s the plan. I’m going to tackle this first thing.
I’m not going to avoid him.
Nor am I going to take the easy way out and avoid the subject.
No, I’m going to march right into his office, apologize for sexually harassing him, and promise what happened last night willneverhappen again.
