I shake my head and chuckle. "Life is never dull with you, Teal Hudson. If you had told me a few weeks ago that I would be stuck in a panic room with the mother of my soon-to-be child and I was taking my pants off in a non-sexual manner to make her feel more comfortable, I would have laughed you out of the room."
"It would be nice to hear you laugh every now and then," she replies. "And was that a joke, by the way? Like a very long contrived one, but a joke nonetheless?"
"Yeah, I know. I'm not very good at humor. You probably think I am this serious guy who never has fun."
"I know you had fun at least once in your life if our time in the hotel is anything to go by, but yeah, I wonder sometimes if you ever have fun. What do you do for fun? And don't fucking say that investing and business stuff is fun."
"I will keep quiet," I reply.
Teal lets out a little chuckle. "We have had our ups and downs, but that night was fun, right?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I go back and forth between regretting it and not regretting it, but either way, I had fun with you. Are we just destined to make bad decisions?"
"I think only time will tell. I do not regret our night together. It has serious consequences, but I enjoyed it too."
"So, we are good at something. We might suck at everything else, but we don't suck… well, in some cases, we do."
I laugh at that comment.
"See, you can have fun," says Teal.
"I will admit that this evening has taken a turn for the worse, but I do enjoy your company."
"Maybe a little too much, going by that bulge in your underwear," comments Teal.
MAKING THE BEST OF A BAD SITUATION
"Hey, I'm only—"
"Don't say you are only a man!" I shout. "Men get away with far too much by just being men. Don't try to play it down. You think I'm a sexy little minx and can't help yourself. You want a repeat of that night, don't you?"
"No, I spotted the vent by the room's corner, and that excited me." Logan smiles at me.
"And here I thought you got your kicks from looking at women in their underwear, but it's metal grills that do it for you."
"Just get over here." Logan rises and goes to the corner of the room. "I will give you a boost, and you can see if you can squeeze in."
"Squeeze in? I'm not Bruce Willis fromDie Hard."
"Thankfully, I do not think I would want to be stuck in a room with him in his underwear."
"Yeah. I'm much cuter, right?"
I think the heat is getting to me because I am flirting far too much while we are both in our underwear.
"Here, give me your foot."
Logan crouches down a little, locking his fingers to create a platform for my foot. I can't help but look at his abs even though I berated him for checking me out. It is going to be futile—we are in a panic room, after all—but I do as he asks and place my foot on his fingers. I place a hand on his muscular shoulder, and he hoists me up into the air.
I let out a little gasp as he does so, and a thrill of excitement runs through my body.
"What can you see?" he asks.
"I can see a vent."
"Does it come off? Can you see anything through it?"
