Hayden leaned in, pressing his forehead against mine, his voice low and husky. “But I missed you. missed you so much. I want you.” 

He grabbed my hand, guiding it down to his hardening body. 

I yanked my hand back, tucking it behind me like I’d just touched something burning. His soft chuckle made me blush harder. “You don’t want me?” he asked. 

“No,” I lied, trying to sound comincing “I’m tired. I want to sleep. I pushed him away lightly, fumbling through my bag for the keys 

Of course, I couldn’t find them. My fingers were shaking, and I could feel Hayden’s eyes on me the whole time. He reached over casually, pulling the keys out. 

*Such a nervous little kitten,” he murmured, his breath hot against my ear. 

My face went full–on tomato. Why did he always get to me like this? 

He unlocked the door, but before I could dart inside, he tugged me back. “You’re really not gonna let me 

in? 

“N–No, no,” I stammered, avoiding his eyes, but of course, he slipped in anyway. 

“Hayden!” I scolded, glaring at him as he wandered through my apartment like he owned the place. 

He grinned, hands in his pockets, strolling from room to room. “Just checking. Doors, windows, all good. Everything’s safe,” he said, coming back to stand in front of me. 

My heart gave a little squeeze, and then something inside me started to stir.

He stopped, glancing down at me, acting all confused like he didn’t get it. This guy. 

For someone who used to be totally clueless about relationships, Hayden had gotten pretty good at flipping the script on me.

This time, Hayden didn’t hold back. He chuckled. “So you have been thinking about it.” 

“Shut up. I’m just scared,” I shot back, trying to cover my embarrassment. “You freaked me out checking everything.” 

He laughed softly. “I already told you, everything’s fine. I’m literally right next door. If you need me, just call.”
