Apparently, I could given the results.

I took a shower and set up my phone to take a few shots of me in nothing but a towel, water dripping all down me. Then I took a few on the bed with the towel half off. I wasn’t a cad, but… I was hard for her and that was obvious.

Not pornish though.

“I’m going to hell,” I mumbled as I picked the best of each and sent them with a message that I was thinking about her and the cold shower hadn’t helped. “Oh, I need a sandwich to handle all the cheese.”

Except it worked. I threw on shorts and went to put something together from dinner. I froze when I heard the code to my door being put in. I ducked my head around the fridge door just in time to see her storming into my kitchen.

But she didn’t seem mad.

“Really? Like—really?” she demanded as she waved her phone at me. “I can’t. I just can’t anymore. You’re too—you’re just too—” she waved towards my body as if that was the answer.

Maybe?

“I don’t know if I’m in trouble or—tell me what to do,” I muttered.

Heat filled her eyes. “Me. Dome, Ha-joon.”

Yes, ma’am!

I closed the fridge and slid my arm around her. She got the idea and jumped as I lifted her up and wrapped her around me as I attacked her lush lips. “You’re sure?”

“Yes, fuck, I’m so sure. I’m—please. I can’t—I was such a perv during your lecture and it’s so distracting. I keep thinking—I’m so fucking horny for you.”

That was a lot to unpack, but I was glad it was focused on me and not just too long of a dry spell.

I dumped her on my bed and studied her. “So you’re like back, right? Or we are?”

Her lust cooled off a bit. “I want to be. I plan—hesitantly.”

“I’ll take hesitantly,” I immediately agreed and climbed on the bed. “I just—I can’t be your one and done again.”

“You’re not,” she promised… But then moved her hand to my chest when I leaned down to kiss her. “But no more ghosting me either, my Alpha. There’s a lot you don’t know, and I need to know you won’t just toss me aside again if you learn something shocking or there’s too much to process.”

But not something bad. She was saying what I needed to hear, but I decided to check.

I leaned in and kissed her forehead. “Not a mass murderer, right?” I bit back a smile when she snorted… And helped her take her top off, which she liked. “Not mated.”

“Idiot,” she grumbled… As we got her out of her pants.

I thought of anything that would be too big of a line for me. “Children?”

“No,” she answered, clearly thinking that was fair. “Never married even by human rules. No children. No in-laws. Just very,verycomplicated.” She begged me with her eyes to understand.

I gave a half shrug. “You’re already my boss, so nothing could really hit me professionally.” I frowned when her heart beat funny but focused on the kiss she laid on me. Fuck it was good.

And she probably just didn’t like being reminded that I was her subordinate. That was fair.

Especially when it didn’t matter to me.

I was naked now too and rolled us so we were sitting up and she was straddling my lap. “I promise. I can’t promise not to fuck up, but I promise that, worst case, I may need to walk away but will always walk right back. No more big spaces or going silent. That was—I won’t ever do that to you again.”

She let out a shaky breath. “Okay.” There was another one as she fidgeted with her hair. “Yeah, okay, that’s enough.”

Ihadbeen listening to her. Really and truly… But then her huge tits practically slapped me in the face when she moved like that and I—my cock ruled me sometimes.

I wasn’t the only git in the world that was true for.
