“Greatplan,” I giggled. “Speaking of which, I need to stay over this weekend, ifthat’s okay—”

“Luckyme,” he uttered around a moan, clasping a hand at the nape of my neck andpressing his lips to mine. “Business meeting?”

“Mm-hmm,”I hummed against his lips. “Meeting Roman at his house.”

Ashis tongue slid deftly into my mouth, I almost missed the hesitation in the otherwisefluid movement. But I didn’t. He had faltered for half a second, his tonguefrozen at the precipice between his mouth and mine, at the mention of the othername. Was hejealous? He had no reason to be, none whatsoever. Weweren’t together, and Roman was only a client—but what other explanation wasthere?

Itugged my tongue from his hold on me. “Sebas—”

“Hasit been enough time yet?” he whispered before snagging my bottom lip betweenhis teeth and opening my robe.

It only tooka few weeks for me to knowexactly why you should never sleep with the same woman twice. I’d had mysuspicions after the first couple of times with Tabby, but over the span ofthose three weeks, I now knew for certain.

Iwas addicted.

I’dconsidered on multiple occasions that it was just her way, being a witch andall, but a group text with my buddies, Devin, Ty, and Chad, had proven that itwas a widespread epidemic:

Me: Whatare you fuckers up to?

Devin:Changing Livy’s diaper for the third time in the past two hours. Prunes = badidea. Never again.

Ty:Could’ve told you that.

Ty: Carrie’sgot a dance recital today.

Me:Precious. Pics of you in a tutu please.

Chad: I’mspending the day with my girl’s parents. Kill me.

Devin: Youput a ring on that yet?

Chad: No.

Me:Gonna drop the Beyoncé lyrics in 3 … 2 … 1 …

Chad: Fuckoff.

Me:Anybody gonna ask me what I’m doing? Or have we forgotten our manners?

Chad: We don’tneed to ask.

Devin: Weall know you’re off to fuck the baby momma’s sister again.

Ty: Orcook her dinner, lol.

Me: Guys,seriously. It’s bad. I’m telling myself I’m over here to help Greyson pack forstaying at my place for a couple of months, but all I can think about is howmany times I can get her off. Something’s wrong with me.

Ty:Welcome to the world of monogamy, bro.

Me: lol,we’re just fucking, dude.

Devin: Andcooking dinner, and going out together …

Me: WithGreyson!
