I thought you said you had real feelings for her. This isn’t just someone you want to casually fuck, correct?
She’ll never believe it. She doesn’t think I’m capable. She’ll think I’m just horny because it’s been a while since I’ve gotten laid. A real long while, if you know what I’m saying.
Hugh
Would you go hook up with someone else right now if you could get away with it without anyone finding out? If you could sneak someone up to your hotel room right now. Would you do it?
No.
It was an easy answer. I didn’t want anyone else. I hadn’t for a while.
Cage
Then let her know that you’re open to a little friends with benefits to go along with this fake relationship. See if she bites. Her ex-boyfriend certainly isn’t holding back with his girlfriend. Then once you’ve taken things to the next level, you can show her that you want it to be something more with your actions and not your dick. But right now, your dick is your best shot at getting out of the friendship lane.
Hugh
Yeah. If you try to say you want an actual relationship right now, it might scare her off, and she won’t want to risk messing things up. One step at a time, brother. See if she wants to have a little fun, and then you can show her that you’re not leaving.
They made a good point. I’d already made it clear that I was attracted to her, but I hadn’t sold it as a real option. Sure, I’d joked about it, but I’d never presented it as something serious to consider.
I was going to take things up a notch.
Okay. I think you’re on to something.
Cage
I feel like a fucking therapist, and I should charge you for billable hours. And then I should smack you upside the head for taking this long to figure this shit out.
Hugh
What he means is… you’ve got this.
Cage
Fine. You’ve got this. And remember, I’ve still got money on this.
I turned off my phone when I heard the bathroom door open.
Game time.

SeeingFinn with Lacey had stirred something inside me that I hadn’t felt before. Something foreign.
Sure, I hated the idea of Carl and Christy Rae Lovell. It made me physically ill, but it was different. It hurt because I felt like he’d replaced me.
Like my dream of a family and the future I’d imagined were gone, as well.
But seeing Lacey with Finn had been next level.
It was almost a feral response.
Like I wanted to storm across the room and make sure she knew that he was mine.
