"Do you want this, Sky?" He asks intently, his eyes drilling me for an answer.
"It's a bad idea." I respond weakly.
"I don't care. Is it what you want?"
My silence is my answer. I see what's coming next, but I make no move to stop it. I can't. He's right, I do want this- him. I can't deny it for another second.
His eyes blaze with uncontained desire as he tilts his head closer to mine, his hand lifting to graze my jaw.
"Say it."
"I want you." I whisper, my eyes roaming his gorgeous face before landing on those wicked lips of his.
"We can do this. No strings attached, OK?" He asks, voice husky with desire.
"OK."
And then his lips are on mine, tasting, teasing. I melt against him, my hands automatically find his hair, tangling into the thick, dark locks and pulling his face closer to mine.

Spencer has secrets he prefers to keep buried in the past. Everything that has happened has lead to the person he is today. The new girl at work threatens every wall he has built around himself, but he can't seem to stay away. Maybe if he just sleeps with her, she will finally be out of his mind. Or maybe it won't be that simple.
