MacKay dusted himself off and turned off the flashlight on his phone.
“Thank you,” I said, suddenly feeling sheepish.
“What are friends for?” MacKay asked with a smile.
Then he ruffled my hair, like I was a kid.
No. Just no.
I didn’t exactly know what I wanted, but this sure in the hell wasn’t it. I couldn’t think of anything to say, so I just smiled weakly.
“Besides, I won that bet on the football game a few weeks back, with your advice. I told you I would owe you, so I guess now we’re even.”
We weren’t even. We were completely uneven because he was smiling at me with friendly affection and I was probably in love with him. I was certainly in lust with him.
“Well, I appreciate it.” I stood there, awkwardly, not sure what to do now. I wanted him to kiss me. I wanted to feel his body against mine.
“Come here.” He pulled me for a hug. Like a friend would.
I went all in on it, breathing in the masculine scent of his cologne. I closed my eyes, then it happened. I went into impulse mode. I just did what I wanted to do, going purely on instinct. As we hugged, I pressed myself against him, easing in as close as possible.
He sensed the shift. His fingers on the small of my back tensed as I kissed the side of his neck with a soft, eager sigh.
“What are you doing?” he asked, his whole body stiffening.
I pulled back slightly and looked up at him. “Trying to kiss you.”
I wanted him so, so much. Staring up into his eyes I knew that Shawna was right. We could never go backward after the intimacy we’d shared. It was either friends with benefits or it was nothing because this sexual tension between us couldn’t be denied.
“Why are you doing that? I thought we agreed—
MacKay jerked when I touched the front of his pants.
“Holy shit, Faith, what are you doing?”
“I want to have sex with you.” I rubbed the palm of my hand down the length of his cock, moaning softly when I felt his body react. I wanted that. I wanted him. I wanted to not be alone tonight.
“We’re supposed to be just friends.”
“Friendships can be redefined. I was really scared tonight and you were here for me.”
“You don’t need to thank me with a hand job,” he said gruffly. “That’s not how friendship works.”
“I’m not thanking you. I want to because I want to. It’s the rush of adrenaline after fear.”
“That is not a good reason to make things messy between us. Again. Even if I want to as well. Trust me, I want you.”
I’d been holding onto that ace for weeks and I pulled it out now. “It’s just sex. It doesn’t mean anything.”
MacKay
That ripped me out of my battle of wills with myself. Damn. She had heard that morning at the hotel continental breakfast. She’d just chosen not to say anything about it.
“You heard me tell Dylan that, didn’t you?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
I wasn’t sure why she would sit on that for weeks and then bring it up now. It felt hostile. Like she had been stewing over it, which made me uncomfortable. I never should have said what I did. It was thoughtless and callus and not even true. “Are you angry? Is this revenge sex?”
