“I’m”—she pulled in air—“soaking.”I wanted to see that again.I wanted to taste it.I wanted to swallow it down my throat.“How easy would it be for you to slip in a finger?”“I wouldn’t even have to try. It would go right in.”“Goddamn it.” I was stroking harder, faster. “I want you circling, staying on the outside. Go all around, spreading your wetness. And while you’re doing that, add more pressure to your clit.”“Ah!”“Feels good, doesn’t it?”“I . . . want it.”“Tell me what you want.”“My finger. I need it.”“Because you want to come?”She moaned, “Yes.”The image of her legs open and wide, her hand between them, her finger on the verge of entering—there was nothing hotter.“Do it,” I ordered. “But just one, not two.”“Ahhh.”“Is it all the way in?”“Yesss.”“Are you dipping it in and out?”Her breath came out labored when she said, “I’m moving quickly. I can’t stop. It feels too good.”So was I.My balls were already tightening as I fisted my dick. I normally used lube, lotion

“More.”I turned off the water, staring at myself in the mirror. My cheeks flushed. My hair half-dry. My pupils expanded, almost dilated.But underneath those physical changes was something else.A feeling.A feeling that equaled exactly what she wanted.More.What is Love doing to me?I shook my head, returning to the moment, and said, “Are you telling me I’m the best you’ve ever had?”“Yes.”“You know, the more I learn your body, it’s only going to get better.”“I’m afraid of that.”I still focused on my reflection but paused my movements. “Says the girl who isn’t afraid of anything.”She was quiet for a moment. “I wasn’t . . . until you.”CHAPTER SEVENMe: Good morning, gorgeous. I’m back from Manhattan and I’d love to see you. Are you free tonight? Tomorrow?Me: Or maybe this weekend?Me: You there?Me: Shit, you really are playing hard to get now, aren’t you?Me: I’m going to stop bugging you. Call me when you return.SaarasLove: Hiiii!Me: Wow . . . long time no talk, sexy girl.

CHAPTER EIGHT“I swear you just walked by me,” Love said as I held the phone to my ear.I chuckled as I rushed to keep up with Grayson, who had now gained a lead since I’d stopped to answer my phone. “What makes you think that?”“I’m sitting outside a coffee shop in the Back Bay, sipping an espresso, and this guy passes my table. He has a heavy amount of scruff on his cheeks, strong jawline, sharp nose. Just like you. We catch eyes at the very beginning, you know, when he approaches the start of the sitting area. It can’t be more than ten or twelve paces long, and the whole time he gives me this soft grin. The kind that spreads across your face when you know something about someone, but you don’t want to let on. Do you know what I’m talking about?”“Yes.”“He continued to look at me that way during those ten paces, holding my gaze until he was gone.”A weird, unexplained, unfamiliar pang hit my chest.A feeling that came out of nowhere.I’d never been jealous of another man . . . unti

Not just the obvious need of wanting to be with her again, but a recap of the conversations we’d had lately. The one about the coffee shop and her lack of chasing me, something that still stung. Along with the talk we’d had about whether I was married to Boston and the answer I’d given so quickly.The answer that had been nagging me since I’d said it.I couldn’t help but consider what would happen if I did move out of this city.If I should be more open to the idea, even if it wasn’t possible. But something about Love made me consider possibilities I never had before.I pulled my fingers away and clasped them in my lap. “I’ve got a lot on my mind.”“Good things, obviously. Feel like sharing?”Grayson came in, eating a sandwich, half the meat falling out the back of the bread while he took a bite. “What are we talking about?”“Why Easton has been smiling for the last twelve minutes,” Holden said to him.“That’s some impressive shit right there,” Grayson said. “But that’s not the first

CHAPTER TENI reached for my phone as it rang on the coffee table, the screen showing that the call was coming through Hooked, Love as the caller. I held the phone to my ear and said, “I was just thinking about you.”“Oh yeah?”“I just got back from California, and I have a free night, so yeah, I was going to text you and see if you’re available—”“I’m actually calling for a different reason.”Her tone was one I didn’t recognize. There was a hint of sadness to it—and something else. Whatever that something was, it caused me to get up from the couch and go into my bedroom and shut the door, giving myself some privacy from the guys. “What’s wrong, Love?”“I don’t know how to say this . . . but . . . we’ve run out of time.”I paused two feet in front of my bed, my chest suddenly throbbing. “What do you mean?”“I’m not going to be around much—if at all. I’ve decided to quit the app.”Her words didn’t come across as a warning. They were more like a promise.A finale.And with that came thi

“We’ll talk soon.”“Bye.”I tucked my phone into my pocket and returned to the living room, where I took a seat on the couch. Since this had become my office, my laptop was already in front of me, and I logged on to the database, searching for Love’s profile. She had signed up exactly thirty days ago. At midnight last night, the system would have sent her an email, asking if she wanted to move from a thirty-day trial membership to a subscription. If she made the switch, she would have to provide her name, address, and payment information—things we only collected from paying users. If she ignored the email and didn’t sign up for the subscription or if she canceled her trial, her status in the database would turn from active to idle.I was just clicking on her username when the change happened.Idle.The cancellation request appeared on her account then, her username locked until she returned—if ever—to Hooked.She’d warned me that she was going to quit. I wasn’t surprised, but I was so

CHAPTER THIRTEENMe: I know it’s been a while since we’ve talked, but in a couple of hours, it’s going to be the new year and the thought of you popped into my head. It’s been a hell of a year for me, and you were a huge part of that. Wherever you are, I hope you’re safe, and I hope you’re having fun.Undelivered.I stared at the text, unsure why the message was coming back as undelivered. We had the same kind of phone. My blue box of text appeared on the right side, and her white box of text appeared on the left, everything looking completely normal.Until the exclamation point showed up in bright red.She had no reason to block me, so that couldn’t be it. But if she had, I was positive the message would still look as though it had gone through—at least on my end.I knew she hadn’t reactivated her account on Hooked. I had this strange habit of checking every few weeks, even though I’d set up an alert to be notified. I just feared that the alert, for some reason, wouldn’t go through a

Grayson crossed his arms over his chest. “I hope you gave Rachel shit for not renewing her Hooked membership.”“Thanks to Hooked, she found someone, so there’s no need to renew it,” I told him.“Hell yeah,” Holden said. The forever romantic was even more of a relationship softie now that he was a single dad to Belle. He held up his hand to high-five me. “Another relationship in the books due to our genius invention.”Since launching, many things about the app had changed, and that included the addition of two other divisions. When users created a profile, the first question they were asked was whether they wanted to only hook up, whether they were looking for a long-term commitment that could result in marriage, or whether they were single parents searching for a partner with children, like Holden.“I don’t know why you’re celebrating,” Grayson said to him. The dude was still hotheaded as ever and completely allergic to monogamy. “The only reason she settled was because she was tired
