I go to my desk and set breakfast there. “Chocolate-chip muffin.”
“Those were always Cooper’s favorite.”
I took his favorite. Now he’s stuck with healthy blueberry. Another sweet gesture on top of a sweet gesture. I sigh dreamily and take a sip of what tastes like an extraordinary latte.
I boot up the laptop, prepared to dive into marketing for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
“I must say, Rowan, you look like you’re glowing. Did you get good news about your condo deposit?”
My cheeks burn.Oh, just had wild sex all night with your son. “Not yet. I’m expecting it back in two and a half weeks.”
She smiles sweetly. “You must just be happy. Settling in to our wonderful town.”
“That must be it.” My phone vibrates with a text. I glance down and see it’s from Cooper. I turn the phone over.
Time for work. Must look hardworking and efficient.
Hailey stands. “You know, your coffee smells so good, I think I’m going to get some for myself.”
“Oh, let me. I’m your assistant.”
“Thank you, Rowan. I’ll take a hazelnut latte.”
I nod, stuff my phone in my purse, and head out with my own coffee in hand. As soon as I get to the front porch, I check my phone.
Cooper:I’m off on Wednesday. Stop by when you’re done work.
That’s three days away. Not too long to wait, not so intense as seeing each other again the next day. I smile and text back:See you then.
Has Cooper done this friends-with-benefits thing before? He’s very good at it.

Rowan shows up at my door a little after five on Wednesday. She must’ve come here straight from work. Her blue eyes look lusty as she takes me in. I go hard instantly.Slow it down. Don’t want to scare her.
“Are you hungry?” I ask.
She wraps her arms around my neck. “Only for you.”
I scoop her up, kick the door closed, and carry her to the bedroom. We can get dinner after. It’s what the lady wants, and I aim to please.
She strips out of her clothes. “This was all I could think about for days. Friends with benefits rocks.”
My throat goes dry. Now I’m the one taking her in with lusty eyes from her perky breasts to the gentle curve of her sides and the flare of her hips. Unbelievably sexy.
She grabs my shirt and pulls it off. I help her. She reaches for my jeans, and I push her hands away, doing it myself. I have to ease out of them with the bulge I’ve got going on.
“Take me against the wall,” she says. “I’ve never done that.”
“Yeah? We can do whatever you want.”
“I’ll have to Google some positions for us.”
I bite back a laugh. “Or we could just have fun and see what happens.”
“I’ll give you everything you secretly desire too.”
