What does he think of me?

Will he judge me?

What if he spreads it around town?

We’ve taken a huge risk tonight, but he hasn’t fully seen my face either.

If I stay like this, we both keep our anonymity.

Indecision wars through me, torn between wanting to know the man responsible for making me come harder than I thought possible and not wanting him to know who I am.

Before I can decide for myself, he leans over again, my body instantly going molten at the weight of him against me.

This horny hussy reeeeally wants round two. Just saying.

His knuckles tenderly brush against my jaw, his thumb caressing my bottom lip, before his hand falls away.

The move is so gentle and tender, a total contrast to the wild, animalistic sex we just had, that my brain explodes.

By the time I gather what’s left of my shell-shocked mind and spin around, ready to face my masked man, he’s gone.

I want to pull up my big girl panties and go inside to find him, but looking down, my heart sinks when I see the huge dark smears marring the white satin. Being at one with nature—hooking up against the wooden railing—has totally ruined my corset.

Dammit.

There’s no way I can go back inside now.

Maybe it’s better this way.

After firing off a quick text to Haven to let her know I’ve gone home with a headache, I slip out the side entrance of the courtyard.

My one wild night will stay just that.

SWAYZE

Ifucked up.

Big time.

Did you know you can do a lot of damage in five minutes?

No?

Let me enlighten you.

The second I walked into the bar tonight, I knew it was a bad idea. The smoke choked me, the noise had my brain ready to explode—but stepping outside to “clear my head” was worse.

Way worse.

Why?

Well, as soon as I walked out there my every sense came alive, humming with tension all because Mia was standing out there looking like an honest to god, heaven-sent angel.

One constant in all my PD training is how hard they hammer into us the importance of not running into a situation without a plan.

Did I heed my training? Like hell I did.
