She glanced at her watch and replied, “It’s ten o’clock. How is that too early?”

“It’s been a long week.”

Frowning, Chloe said, “It’s only Monday, Soph.”

“I know. But it feels like it should be Friday. My mother cornered me first thing to ask me about Josh.”

“Well, you did stay with him all weekend after the wedding. Ofcourseshe was going to ask about it.”

“You, I can see asking. But my mother? No. I’m not about to have a conversation with her about my sleepovers with Josh.”

“But that’s not the case with me, right? You’ll tell me everything?” She grinned.

“There’s nothing to tell.”

Her mouth fell open. “I’m sorry…let’s back this train up, okay? You stayed with himall weekend, Soph. Does this mean you’re dating officially, by the way?”

My eyes went to the open door of my office.

Chloe got up and shut it. “Well?” she prompted. “Are you dating?”

I couldn’t help the smile that grew across my face. “Yes, we are officially dating.”

Chloe clapped her hands, bounced in her seat, and screamed.

“Shh! You’re going to make my mom come in here!”

With a wave of her hand, she replied, “She’s teaching a private class.”

“How do you know that?” I asked.

With a half-shrug, Chloe said, “I know all things.”

“Oh, you donotknow all things, trust me.”

She leaned in. “Is he big? He looks like he’d be big. Are you sore? It’s been a while since you’ve had a dick inside you.”

“Oh. My. Gosh. Seriously, Chloe, you did not just say that.”

“It’s the truth.”

I slowly shook my head. “For your information, we haven’t slept together yet.”

Her eyes widened in shock. “Why not?”

“We’re taking it slow. Iwillsay he can do wicked things with his tongue.” Despite teasing Josh at breakfast the other morning, I hadn’t actually told Chloe anything about his talents when she’d called and woken me up—though shedidask about the sex, of course.

A wide grin appeared on her face. “Shut up! Did he?”

“Oh, he did, and it was amazing. Best orgasm of my life. He knows how to use his hands as well.”

“Wow! Okay, now we’re getting somewhere!”

Laughing, I held up a hand. “That’s all I’m saying. It was amazing to fall asleep in his arms, then wake up to find him in the kitchen, making us breakfast before he left for the station.”

Chloe sighed. “Sometimes, I think I should find a guy to settle down with.”

I dropped back in my seat and stared at her. “Really? Are you ready to settle down?”
