him about not taking the pill due to the side effects it had on her. The
    likelihood of her getting pregnant was remote anyway. Her own mother had taken
    years and many disappointments to have her. If genetics followed true, Cass would be
    the same. “I’ve always wanted to know what it felt like.”
    “No man ever came inside you like that?”
    “No, I never wanted anyone until—” Cass stopped. She was saying way too
    much to someone she barely knew.
    “Thank you.”
    “For what?”
    “For letting it be me.” His gaze was soft on hers. “If anything happens—”
    She smiled at Evan to reassure him and herself. “It won’t.”
    “I’ll want to know.” His hand linked with hers.
    In the one moment, Cass knew she was in danger of falling in love with Evan.

Chapter Five
    “Neither I nor Flo noticed the hickey on your neck,” Jo murmured as Cass walked into the office.
    Cass knew her face was bright red. “Good of you not to say anything about it
    then.” She had showered and changed and walked with wobbly legs to the office. She
    knew that the two women had to have been wondering what she had been doing for so
    long in one room. No bed took that long to make.
    “No, and we’re not wondering why it took so long to make one bed either.” Flo
    winked at her.
    “Fuck.” Was it that obvious? Cass felt bad. She was employed to do a job, not to
    fuck around with Evan. That she had hated him one minute and was screwing him the
    next confused the hell out of her. Am I just desperate or a slut? It’s not like it could
    be love for god sake. I barely know him, er, well his mind that is.
    “Did you?” Jo toyed with the pen in her hand, her eyes bright with interest. “Was
    Evan good?”
    “He is one of the few men I’d swap teams for,” added Flo, patting the chair
    beside her.
    Cass smiled and sat down. “Really?” She arched her brow at Flo.
    “Oh yeah, I could tell you some stories about my past and men.”
    “She was a slut,” Jo informed Cass.
    Flo grinned. “Yeah, I was.”
    “What changed you?” Cass didn’t care who loved who with what body parts.
    Love was as it was. It came from the heart and pigeon holing people into stereotypical
    gender rules was of no interest to her.
    “This chick called Jo came along—”
    “And I was so amazing that you knew you’d be mad to let me go.”
    “That’s sweet.” She could see the deep love and affection when the two women
    looked at each other. “The thing is—” The two sets of eyes locked on hers. Do I lie?
    Tell the truth? Feign ignorance? How complicated do I want my life to get? She had
    been in town for just a day and yet already her whole life was turned upside down. By
    a man. She hadn’t been ready for that. “…it didn’t mean anything.” Liar. It meant so
    many unexpected things that her head was still spinning from what had happened. Her
    body still felt the imprint of Evan on hers. It was sluttish but she had loved the sticky
    feel of his semen between her thighs. It made her feel real and right and that hadn’t
    happened in a long time.
    They rolled their eyes. “Piss weak lie,” Jo told her.
    Yeah, it was . “Okay I didn’t mean it to happen.” She could have blamed Evan for
    being naked and charming. But naked and charming she could have deflected if she
    wanted to. And that was the thing. She didn’t want to.
    “The best sex happens that way.”
    “Yeah, well, anyway we had sex to prove a point.” Though, at that moment she
    couldn’t remember exactly what it had been. All Cass could remember was the delicious taste and feel of a hot male body on and in hers.
    Flo arched her brow. “And that is?”
    Cass pursed her lips in thought. How do I explain this when I’m not sure myself?
    “Well, I guess it started out to prove I wasn’t attracted to Evan and it was just about
    bodily functions and pheromones.”
    “Uh-huh, and how did that go?”
    “Not great,” admitted Cass. She found it easy to talk to
