SCARLETT
Lying with Aiden in his bed, I admitted the guy was the hottest thing I had ever come across. After being left for another woman, Aiden’s appreciation felt damn good. But it had to end there. Right?
My mind replayed the memory of our last time making love. Love? Not sure what to call our adventure, but it seemed too complex for mere hookup s*x. Too much mental stimulation in the game to qualify as a booty call.
Dude got me in a way that I didn’t get myself.
After his sweet understanding over my scaredy-cat approach to commitment, he did a cursory dance over safe words. First time in my life I’d talked safe words with a suitor. That’s what Aiden called himself “my suitor.” Adorable. He came off as a gentleman, and yet he flipped that switch in an instant to make me obey.
