She shakes her head, then pulls away. “No,” she mutters. “We can’t do this. I can’t do this.”
“No one has to know.”
Wren narrows her eyes at me. “But I’ll know, and it goes against everything I stand for.” She pushes back, heading for the stairs that lead out of the water, and sighs heavily. “I just can’t do this.”
My phone blares from my lounge chair as Wren climbs out of the pool and I run a hand frustratingly through my hair.
Once she’s hidden inside the house, I climb out myself and scrub the towel over my head before grabbing my phone from the chair. Brent’s name is shining on the screen, but I toss the phone down and shake my head.
It’s best that she stopped the moment before it happened again.
What the hell is going on with me that I can’t stop trying to kiss her? That would’ve been a bad look for not only her but me as well. I can only imagine what Mack would say if he found out I’d been locking lips with, essentially, the therapist he sent here, and how quickly he’d end her career.
When I step through the back door and glance around, hopeful that she disappeared into her room, I frown at her form standing in the middle of the kitchen with the fridge pushed wide open. “Looking for something?”
She mutters something under her breath, then shuts the doors loudly before heading toward the opposite hallway from where her room is located. “Nothing, just seeing what else you can make me in the morning. Heading to bed now, though. Goodnight.”
I clear my throat as she steps into the hallway and say, “Uh, Wren?”
“Yeah?”
She barely looks into my eyes as she turns around, and my lips twitch in amusement. “Your room’s that way,” I say while pointing to my left.
Wren chuckles and waves a hand at me. “I totally knew that. I just wanted to check the rest of the place out.”
I glance at the clock and nod. “At two o'clock in the morning?”
She shrugs. “No time like the present, you know?”
Before she can say anything else, Wren quickly rushes past me without another glance in my direction and disappears down the right hallway while I stand alone in the kitchen with evidence of the effect she has on me.
Nothing good can come of us getting close.
That’s all I have to keep reminding myself while she’s here.
Except my cock has another idea. He’s desperate to feel her sweet heat surrounding him, even if it’s the worst decision he could make – and now all I want is to feel her pussy gripping me just as much.
My phone pings with a text from Brent, reminding me not to make any stupid decisions, and it takes everything inside of me not to text back. It’s best that he doesn't know that the ship has already sailed.
Everything will be okay, though. All I’ve got to do is keep distance between us.
It will be as easy as pie. One could hope, at least, but I’ve got a feeling I won’t get that lucky.

Wren
Ryker and I almost kissed once, and now we’ve grazed our lips – barely scratching the surface.
It’s the first thing that comes to mind when I open my eyes the following morning, my dreams filled with nothing but those amber eyes staring at me. I wanted to forget anything happened, pretend it never did, but I’m filled with this need to get better acquainted with his lips
For the love of God, I hope the man forgot about our deal and isn’t waiting in the kitchen for me with a plate of food. I can’t take his close proximity much longer. My parents didn’t raise me to hide away from my battles, though.
I’m going to get showered, dressed, then walk out there like nothing's bothering me.
I’ll face him head on.
With my mantra stuck on repeat, I skip into the bathroom with a smile on my face and start my morning routine by brushing my teeth. While I whiten them, I comb a brush through my hair and twist it into a large braid because I’ve decided to head to my parents place this afternoon.
