him inside me again.
    “I promise I’ll have plenty of condoms.”
    “Then I’ll consider your proposal.”
    When he gives me one of his sexy little grins I realize he’s already sealed the deal. And I’m in big trouble.

    “You look…” Harper can’t seem to find the right words when I walk into her office. And that’s very unusual for Harper, the wordsmith.
    “Freshly fucked,” I suggest.
    She coughs in response. “I was going to say content.”
    “Same thing,” I assure her.
    “So I guess the whole celibacy thing is over.”
    “Over like clover.”
    She furrows her brow. “Is that even a saying?”
    “It is now.”
    On the plus side I don’t feel like I need a drink. Turns out I can fuck outside of rehab and still stay sober.
    “Leo?” she prods.
    I laugh. “Who else?”
    “Let me guess. It had something to do with the bathroom you share and the two of you naked.”
    “And I fell into the toilet when he left the seat up, so thanks for that.”
    She puckers her lips like a duck. “How is that my fault?”
    “You’re the one who put him the bedroom right next to me, knowing we’d be sharing a bathroom.”
    “In my defense it’s the only other guest bedroom that’s been completely renovated. We’re still working on the other ones.”
    “One thing led to another and I ended up in his bed. And we fucked. And again in the shower this morning. But I told him that it’s just sex, nothing more. He agreed that it’s just casual. We’ll fuck each other when we want, but we’ll still fuck other people.”
    She nods, but I can see the doubt in her eyes.
    “I’m being serious,” I assure her. “It’s just sex.”
    “You’re going to break his heart. And he has a really big one.”
    “You know you have a knack for making me feel guilty.”
    “That’s because you have a knack for doing things that should make you feel guilty.”
    I point a finger at her. “This is not my fault. If he has feelings for me, it’s all him. I told him from the start, before I even let him put his wonderful cock inside of me, that we were just fucking. And he agreed.”
    “That’s because Leo would say or do anything to be with you. Don’t believe me? Next time he wants to have sex ask him to chew off his own arm first.”
    “He would not chew off his own arm,” I insist. But the look on Harper’s face tells me it’s not too far from being true. And deep down inside I know she’s probably right.
    I know Leo wants more, but I screwed him anyway. Maybe this one-day-at-a-time shit isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Living in the moment is not working out so well. “I’m fucked,” I state.
    “Last night and this morning apparently.” She grins.
    “Living with Nic has turned you into a comedian,” I retort.
    “I also live with Leo, Xander, Raven and now you. It’s quite a motley crew of jokesters. I’ve got to quip or die.”
    “That’s quite punny,” I fire back. 
    Then we both laugh.
    “Let’s get to work. I’ve got a lot to go over.”
    “Yes, Boss.”
    She rolls her eyes at me.

    Leo
    As I pack my shit I can’t help but think that it’s the end of an era. Time for me to grow up and stop fucking around. Time for me to stop playing house with Raven and Xander.
    And if I get what I want I’ll be fucking Brooke. Exclusively. All for me. All mine. And not just now.
    Always.
    Of course convincing her of that might prove to be a challenge. But I’ve never shied away from a challenge. I’ve always been a fighter.
    And Brooke is someone definitely worth fighting for.
    Being with her again was like throwing a life preserver to a drowning man. I didn’t even realize I was going down until she brought me back up again.
    Once I’ve got all my clothes in my duffel bag I open the drawer of the nightstand and grab half of the pile of condoms and toss them into my bag.
    “Think you’re going to use all those?” Raven asks. I didn’t even hear her come in.
    I don’t bother to
