“I know, but the chances of that are unlikely.”
“We’ll have to wait and see. When’s your period due?”
“Not for two weeks,” I said. “I could always get the morning after pill if you’re worried.”
“I’m not worried.” He kissed me again. “Let’s go in the shower now. All I can think about is taking you over and over again.”

Jeff
Betsy’s body was snuggled next to mine as I woke up, her ass pushed up against my cock, and I groaned as I realized I was hard. I reached my hands around her body to play with her breasts and she arched her back into my chest.
“Morning, handsome.” She smiled sweetly as she looked back at me.
“Morning, gorgeous,” I said, kissing her shoulder. She started gyrating her hips, and I reached a finger forward to play with her clit. “You’re such a naughty girl.”
“You’re such a bad boy.” She rolled over on top of me, sitting right on top of my hardness and letting it rub between her legs. “Why didn’t you let me handcuff you last night?”
“Because you might have left me tied up.” I grinned at her. “I can’t have that.”
“I would never do that.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t.” I stretched and yawned slightly.
“Are you still tired?” She looked guilty as I nodded slightly. “Do you wish you had gone home?”
“Nope,” I said honestly. “I like being in bed with you.”
“This is two nights in a row now,” she said, her eyes resting on me, searching for something that made me feel nervous.
“Is it?” I hadn’t noticed, but of course, I had. Because even though I was yawning, I’d had the best sleep that I’d experienced in a while, and I felt more content than I could ever remember feeling. “Two nights in a row, and still I haven’t been served breakfast in bed.”
“Where’s my breakfast in bed?”
“Stay at my place tonight, and I’ll make you breakfast tomorrow morning.”
“Really?” She looked shocked. I just kissed her on the forehead in response.
“Really.” I got out of bed. “Now, we both need to shower and get ready for work—separately.” I couldn’t stop staring at her as she jumped up out of bed. “Unfortunately, if I shower with you right now, I will need to fuck you as well, and we don’t have time for that.”
“Fine.” She pouted, and I just laughed. As I leaned over to kiss her, I noticed her phone screen was full of missed calls. “Wow, how many times did Jules and Nolan call you?”
She picked up her phone and went to her missed calls list, and I noticed that she’d also had several calls from Nick. I waited for her to say something, but she just put her phone back down. I thought back to what her nanna had said about Nick being the one for Betsy, and I grew angry. How could she possibly feel that way? Nick was a nobody in Betsy’s life. Having a crush on her in high school didn’t mean anything. He hadn’t been in town for years. How could he still want to be with her? The dude was weird. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that he was some sort of psychopath. I was going to have to run a check on him through the federal and state databases to see if I could find any records on him. I’d probably find he’d done time for stalking at some point in his life. Loser.
“What are you thinking?” Betsy asked me softly, and I just shook my head and kissed her.
“Nothing. Just that I need to get to work.”
“So, am I going to see you tonight?” she asked, and I realized that this was exactly what I didn’t want. This was how a relationship started. This was how feelings started. “I promise I’ll put out, but only if you buy me dinner first.” She smiled at her joke, and I slapped my forehead as if just remembering something.
“Aww, damn. I just remembered I need to work late tonight, and then I think I have a meeting with the sheriff early tomorrow morning, and then I have the auction committee tomorrow evening.” I looked away from her. “But I’ll text and let you know.”
“Okay.”
Her voice was so soft and disappointed that I almost relented and told her that I’d cancel everything just to spend some time with her. But I squared my shoulders and headed to the bathroom. This was for the best. I shouldn’t have slept with her. I’d already done some damage, and I just prayed that if I stayed away from her for a bit that we could just move on with our lives as normal.

Betsy
Stella: Any word?
Betsy: Nope.
Jules: I’m going to tear that motherfucker apart. Limb by limb.
Betsy: :(
Stella: I’m going to help.
Abby: Me too.
Betsy: I guess that he hit it and quit it, so to speak.
Stella: I just can’t believe that Jeff would do that.
Betsy: Well, it’s been a week. I haven’t seen or heard from him since we hooked up.
Jules: He’s an asshole. I should tell Nolan.
Betsy: No! No! No!
Jules: Fine … But I really want to.
Betsy: It won’t help. It’s fine. Plus we said it would only be one time. I guess I just hoped it would be more than one time.
Jules: You gave yourself to him, and this is what he does?
Stella: Yeah, he’s really a jerk. I can’t believe it.
Betsy: I’m a fool.
Abby: You went to the gyno, right?
Betsy: Yeah, too early to tell if I’m pregnant, but STD tests were clear.
Jules: I’m so mad at you.
Betsy: I know. I was a fool.
Jules: If you’re weren’t so sad, I would kill you as well.
Betsy: I got caught up in the moment. I just really wanted to feel him, you know.
Stella: Skin to skin.
Abby: Raw dogging.
Betsy: Guys.
Jules: The worst part was knowing he was going down on you while I was there in the room. Like, does he have
