And I have no fucking idea why.
“Was that your mom?” she asks, leaning against the quartz countertop.
“Yeah.”
Lucia looks like she’s thinking hard. “What time is it in Seoul right now?”
“Like five in the morning,” I laugh. “Apparently, she couldn’t sleep, so she called me.”
“That’s really sweet.”
“She’s the best.” I can’t help my large smile.
“I feel like most guys aren’t really close to their moms,” she says. “It’s kinda cool that you are.”
I smirk at her. “Are you saying I’m cool, Spitfire?”
“That isnotwhat I said,” she scoffs. “I actually just think you’re annoying.”
Says the woman wearing my friend’s jersey to annoyme.
“You didn’t think I was annoying on New Year’s.”
Lucia rolls her eyes. “Is that what you’re gonna do? Bring that up every time I say something you don’t like?”
“Probably,” I shrug, enjoying the way it gets to her.
But she turns it back on me just as quickly.
“You know,” she says teasingly. “It seems to me like you think about our night together quite a bit for someone who doesn’t want me again.”
“Idon’tthink about it,” I lie.
I see a gleam in Lucia’s eye—her deep, rich brown eyes—as she saunters her way over to me. I feel my dick twitch behind my sweatpants.
Why does that have to be so hot?
“I think youdothink about it, Ari,” Lucia rasps, andGod, is her voice sexy. “I think you like to remember how it felt to be inside me, and I think that you have no idea why you can’t let it go.”
Is she in my fucking head?
Goddamn.
Yeah, I think about it far more than I’m willing to admit, and no, I have no fucking idea why I can’t stop.
The sex was great, but I wouldn’t even say it’s the best sex I’ve ever had.
Yet, here I am in my kitchen, the woman I’ve always claimed to not like standing in front of me, willing all the blood in my body tostoprushing south.
“You’re dreaming, Torres,” I manage.
I’m not sure she completely believes me, but she laughs it off anyway. “Oh, it is so fun to fuck with you.”
“I’ll remember that next time I grab you a coffee.”
Lucia looks at me in confusion. “You got me a coffee?”
I shrug. “I just wanted to get out for a bit earlier, and I stopped by Urban Grind when I was walking home. Figured I’d grab you something, too.”
