CHAPTER 229

Dianna groaned at the familiar but unwanted pain as she pushed up from her desk. It had been a long fucking week. She didn’t know if it was pain from sitting in one spot for so long, the stress of her current project, the long hours, part of her pain cycle, the lack of sleep, or the pent-up sexual tension from seeing Jack nearly every night but not being able to touch him. It could be one, three, or every single one of the above reasons, or it could be a sign that her disorder was progressing. Her last doctor’s appointment had led her to believe that her disorder was being managed, even if her pain wasn’t always manageable, but that didn’t mean something hadn’t changed. Of course, thinking of the worst-case scenario wouldn’t help, but with the way she was feeling, it was hard to keep a positive outlook.

Maybe she just needed another night of unbridled sex with her grumpy DILF next door. If only she could get him alone.

Yes, they’d seen each other every day, but Riley was with him.
