"When did you start thinking about me like this?"
He was quiet for a moment. "Honestly? Years ago. But I never thought you'd see me that way."
"I've always seen you that way," I admitted. "I just never thought you'd want me."
His hand cupped my face. "Mara—"
"I know," I interrupted. "Rule number two. I'm not trying to break it. I'm just saying... This is easier than I thought it would be. Being with you."
"Yeah," he said quietly. "It is."
He kissed me then, soft and slow, and I felt something shift between us again.
Something we were both pretending not to notice.

Two weeks in, and we were f*****g constantly.
At his place. My place. Once in his car after dinner because we couldn't wait ten minutes to get home.
But it wasn't just the s*x
