Was grumpy and rude suddenly the new hot? My vagina seemed to think so.

“You know, you’d be a lot prettier if you smiled once in a while,” she mused, fluttering her lashes. No wonder women hated it when men said that.

I saw the way her eyes lit up, and as annoying as I found her and as much as I enjoyed our back and forth, the hunger I saw there made my chest tight. I wanted to ask her why. Why, when she had a full-time, decent-paying job, was she hungry?

Today, I was keeping my fucking hands off my fucking cock and my fucking mind off fucking Ally. End of story.

Was it weird that the sexiest moment of my life hadn’t actually involved having sex?

wondered if I was leaving a trail of body glitter behind me like I was a Questionable Life Choices Tinkerbell.

The cleaning crew was going to think I’d either hosted a Girl Scouts craft jamboree or an orgy.

“I wasn’t looking for you. But I still found you.”

“I’m saying I found you. And I’m not fighting it anymore. You’re mine.”

“I don’t want a thank you. I wanted you to have your life back.”
