As he hesitates I wrack my brain, trying to think of a reason to keep him here. What could I possibly say or do that would make him want to stay? I mean, besides ripping all my clothes off and telling him to take me now. It's too soon for gestures like that. Then again, it's probably too soon for him to just come kiss me out of the blue like that, but I digress.

Before I can say anything, I hear a strange noise further back in the building. Arson hears it too and arches an eyebrow at me.

“The ghosts sure are noisy today,” I joke.

He seems amused but also ready to make his escape. I'm not sure why he's in such a big hurry to leave after the amazing kisses we shared, but I'm sure he has a reason. I take another step closer to him, then falter, unsure what to say or do.

“I-” I say, but words fail me and I stare at him, watching the corners of his lips curve up. “The kiss was really nice. Both of them.” I suddenly feel very, very shy, like I'm a teenager and it's my first kiss. First

  • Club Red: Sin And Seduction    Epilogue

    Laurel I don't think I've ever been this nervous to go to the bathroom before. I pace back and forth across the rug in front of the sink and put one hand on the back of my neck before lifting my chin and tilting my head back to stare at the ceiling. I'm not really sure what compelled me to get out of bed at three AM besides the need to pee, but now I’m not sure I’ll be able to get back to sleep. Maybe a hot shower would help me relax and mold me back into slumber. Or I could always go climb into bed beside Arson and ask him to rub me until my body can’t stay awake any longer. It wouldn't be the first time he’s taken care of me like that. Speaking of taking care of me, there's another way he could exhaust my body until I'm ready to sleep. My cheeks burn as I think about all of the ways he does just that on a nightly basis. The rug is soft under my feet, but the tile is cold; the odd contrast wakes my body up even more and my dreams of sleep slip even further away. I walk over and

    Laurel For the record, I feel absolutely awful. And maybe I should feel like the worst human being in existence. I can hardly stand to see the pain and disappointment in Arson's eyes. He looks like a man completely defeated by life, and I know that that is my fault and my fault alone. If I'm being completely honest, I'm happy to see him. I have missed him over the last few days, which seems like a strange thing to say. I have to admit that I'm thrilled that Mia approves of him. I don't know how long they've been talking, but clearly they at least had the opportunity to plan out this little stunt. Maybe that's why she's been trying so hard to steer me away from cutting him out of my life and toward giving him a chance instead. Heck, even Angie seems like she wants me to give him a chance. Which makes sense, because the bulk of Angie's experience with him was him carrying me to the ambulance so that I could be taken to the hospital on the day I slipped and fell at work. She's goin

    “Clearly, your guys’ cars are into one another, so you'd better date him. I’ve seen how this ends when the owner’s dogs fall in love, and I need to know how it ends with cars.”Mia takes over as Laurel covers her face with one hand, her cheeks going red. “Look, if the cars bumping uglies isn't a good enough euphemism for you then I believe you two shouldn’t be together, and maybe we can't be friends.”Angie decides it’s her turn again as Laurel goes scarlet. “If he keeps ramming into you like that, I'm going to leave a Google review that says this place is not family friendly, so you'd better tell him yes so he can stop.”“Oh my gosh, you guys, knock it off.” Laurel is so red I worry she’s about to have a stroke, but I can’t stop laughing at her friends.“Laurel, he makes you happy. Give him a chance.” Mia’s tone has shifted to one of sisterly love and concern. “You are going to regret it forever if you don't.”“Besides, he's super cute. If you don't date him, somebody else is going t

    Arson Only three days have passed since Laurel and I parted ways, but I feel like I haven't slept in a week. But that’s fine; I've used the time I should have spent sleeping to come up with a plan. I thank my lucky stars that when I’d called Mia and poured my heart out, she had offered to help me. I guess she's been trying to plant it in Laurel 's head that today's dating world is different than the dating world she’d given up on years ago. Of course, she'd made me promise a few things, namely that I wouldn't hurt her best friend, that I take good care of Laurel, and that I'd be the man she deserved. And I have every intention of following through on those promises. She texted and told me that everything is ready, so here I am, driving with oddly sweaty palms toward Laurel 's work. I really hope this plan works. I tried to come up with something that really suits Laurel's sense of humor, something that might make her smile. Is my plan going to work? Probably not, but I absolutel

    “But did he mean it?” That's the real question here. What he did to my best friend is absolutely unforgivable, so I can't even imagine accepting an apology from him or thinking he's changed or that he's worth our time. “I have no idea, but I doubt it.” She scrapes the side of her bowl with her spoon and pops the last bite into her mouth. When she puts her bowl on the coffee table, the spoon clinks and rattles. “He also tried to tell me that he really loves me and breaking up was the biggest mistake of his life.” I’m fully ready to laugh at her words when an alarm on my phone goes off. I pull the device out of my pocket and stare at it for a moment, trying to make sense of what I'm seeing before glancing up into her curious, worried eyes. “Weird question and this might be the drugs talking, but would you drive me to my office?” She nods her head and stands up. I rise from my seat slowly, trying to make sure that woozy feeling doesn't come back. Arson isn’t here to catch me if I fal

    Laurel “I know I should have listened to my gut.” I take a bite of the triple fudge brownie ice cream that Mia brought over after work. Between the two of us we nearly empty the brand-new container. Break up hang out sessions can be like that though. I can’t get the look in Arson's eyes out of my mind when he'd asked me if I’d taken the medication on an empty stomach. I could see the genuine worry there and his concern nearly changed my mind... until I thought about how he’d slept with another woman in the sex club he owned but didn’t think to tell me about. “You can't beat yourself up.” Mia seems unconvinced as she takes a deep drink of her spiced rum and soda. I had asked her to make me a drink, but she refused because of the medication. Apparently pain pills and alcohol aren't a good mix, so I'm going to have to wait till I'm off of the meds to have a drink. That's fine with me, the pain medication messes with my head and makes me feel woozy anyway. I imagine alcohol would onl
