He squeezed my hand, and my stomach stiffened. Was he implying that he cared about me? That made my
mouth go dry. This was getting serious too fast. | wasn't ready for this kind of conversation with him.
Honestly, | didn’t think | ever would be.
“I... don’t know if | want to talk about this,” | said and tucked a lock of hair behind my ears.
Alexander's eyes widened when he noticed that my hand was shaking.
“Hey, it's okay,” he said and put his arms around me.
For a few minutes, he gently rubbed my back and made comforting sounds like he was trying to calm down a
scared kitten.
Automatically, my body relaxed into his, and my heart rate slowed. He put his lips directly next to my ear and
spoke toin a soft tone.
“I want you to know that | would never force you to do anything,” he said.
| pulled back so that | could study his expression. Why did his eyes hold an apprehensive look?
“Listen, | think that it would be important for my parents to think | had a girlfriend so that they will leave me
alone and stop trying to setup on dates,” he said. “If you do this, I could, of course, pay you.”
| blinked at him for a full minute. That was the last thing | had expected him to say. Was he implying that he

to back out at any time. We could just take this one day at a time.”
Part ofwanted to agree. | could use the money, and in the back of my mind, I knew that | might say yes just
for the chance to be with him. But if | went through this, it could blow up my entire life. Agreeing to something
like this would blur the lines between us even more than we'd done already.
“I have to think about it,” | finally said.
Alexander nodded, and an understanding smile crossed his face. He gently cupped my cheek with his warm
hand.
I had to fight my eyes so they wouldn't close. Then, | would do something stupid like kiss him.
Abruptly, I stood up. | couldn't think straight when | was alone in a room with him, and his muscled chest was on
display.
“I'm going to take a shower and think things over,” | said and stumbled out of his room before he could reply.
In the bathroom, when I stepped into the hot spray, | realized something. My intention had been to have one
night of fun with Alexander to get this longing for each other out of our systems, but now | agreed to consider a
situation that would be much more complicated,
And it would last much longer than one night.
