She stepped out of the closet, and tugged at Eric’s sleeve.He appeared all too ready to ask Orion about the bathroom logistics.“We’ll be late for our next session if we don’t hurry.”
“So will we, but we don’t mind,” Izzy said.
The smiles from her and Orion were downright wicked as they stepped into the closet.
Before they pulled the door closed behind them, Izzy said, “We’ll see you at the dessert spread later.”
“Unless we find something better to do.”
Izzy’s giggle came through the door.

“We only have a few minutes before our session and I still have something to tell you,” K.D.said.“Should have told you right away.Follow me.”
For an instant, Eric hoped she meant to find another closet.

She hurried down the stairs, then out the back doors, stalking away to a spot next to a garden bed away from the patio, pool or any listeners.

She was saying the closet had not been important, despite it being the first time they’d kissed of their own volition.
Unless you counted the second time he’d kissed her for the video.
Either way, this had been different.Including the fact that she’d not only kissed him back, she’d deepened the kiss.
Nah, she didn’t really think the closet kiss wasn’t important.
But did shethinkshe thought so?
He pushed with, “Speaking from experience?”
“No.I told you, I don’t act on impulse.”
“So, you’ve only had observation.”
