How old are you?” “Twenty-four.” “Damn… how long has it been since the—” “Six months.” “I’m sorry. Everything must still feel fresh.” “Don’t be. I’m not sorry. I think of it as a blessing in disguise.” “How so?” “That is a secret I’m going to have to tell you another time—that is, if you’re lucky enough to find me on a roof of a building next New Year’s Eve.” We both exchanged a smile and looked out at the city. “Thank you,” I murmured. “For what?” “For not saying something insincere like, ‘It’s his loss’ or, ‘If I were I him, I’d never let a woman like you go.’” “Is that what you were expecting me to say? I’m not your typical conventional guy, and I don’t give out empty compliments just to please people.” “I’m starting to see that.” “Besides, I don’t need to sweet talk you to get you to come home with me.” “Is that what you’ve been planning all along?

I’m sure if she knew she would lay off on playing Cupid.” I shook my head. “I just haven’t been comfortable telling anyone.” “I hear that.” He held out his hand. “Let’s go.” I stare down at his open palm and then met his eyes. “I thought you didn’t like to be touched.” Jay’s lips curved up into a half smile. “This is me giving you permission to touch me.” My heart skipped a beat, and without further hesitation, I slipped my frozen hand into his and let him lead the way. ***** “Where have you two been?” Skylar exclaimed. “Having hot sex in the stairwell,” Jay replied. “I’m surprised sex Maya’s hair hasn’t given us away.” He squeezed my hand, smiling mischievously.
