.""You aren't going to go and be all mopey, are you?""No way.I'm wrecked.I think I'll eat some ice cream at home and pass out," she answered, the words slurring from her lips."Okay, sweetie," Aubrey said.They put on their coats and kissed her good-bye.Jenna snuck away to a particularly plush corner of the casino and plopped down heavily on an overstuffed love seat.Her tiny dress was hiked up and she couldn't even be bothered to pull it down to cover more of her thighs.Jenna didn't care about propriety or doing the right thing.Point was, she was tired of saying no to everything.Maybe it was time to try out "yes" for a change.She took out her phone and stared at it.The touch screen was a little blurry and wiping it off didn't help.It was no problem.She didn't need to write a sonnet.She just needed to text a booty call.It had been years since she'd done anything so brazen.It wasn't like Jenna had lived the life of a virgin, far from it.She just planned every detail of her life and avoided all risks.Wyatt was like an entire whiskey bottle full of trouble.I'll probably regret this.What if it all goes badly? But, I don't have all the time in the world.None of us do.She was ashamed to admit she knew his schedule.He'd had a Thursday night game, so he should be home now.Is he with someone already? Is he alone and thinking about me? Stop it, woman!Before she lost her nerve, she typed out a message and hit send.Wyatt opened the door to his home and helped Jenna stumble on her high heels into his foyer."Thanks for picking me up, Wyatt," she said to him, turning and sliding her coat down her arms, revealing her smoking-hot body in a tiny, clingy dress.Letting the coat fall to the floor, she looked at him intently, her eyes smoldering into his.She was clearly wasted, so it was more like a squint alternating with a wide-eyed stare.It didn't lessen how desirable she was, though.Their kiss by her car had made him want to find her and rip off all her clothes, whether it helped his career or not.He figured it hadn't had the same impact on her because she'd been completely ignoring him for days.Now, she was standing by his front door and seemed suddenly to have a very different attitude about the wisdom of them becoming physical."Of course I came to get you, Doc.I figure if you were asking for my help, you must really need it.""Don't be like that," she slurred out, and he finally heard that thick Georgia accent he'd suspected she'd been hiding underneath her flat, professional tone.Jenna began sauntering closer to him."I have a lot of people I could've called to help me get home.I didn't want to go home.I wanted to be with you.""Oh, yeah?" he asked, swallowing deeply and wishing he had something cooler to say."Yeah.""And why's that?"Damn, this woman makes me stupid."Well," she said, crossing the space between them in long, slightly wavering strides, "I've had a lot of shit in my life.A lot of things that felt like shit.But, you make me feel good…when I'm with you…and I want to keep feeling good…with you.Okay?""That sounds great.But what happened to you being careful and reviewing all the evidence, or whatever, before taking this step with me?""Yeah, right now, that seems like a dumb idea.I think it makes much more sense for you to kiss me again," she said, while leaning toward him, her legs wobbling on the stilts on her feet."Doc, maybe you should lie down for a bit."What am I saying? That dress is so low-cut and so damn short.Her legs are endless.Shut up, asshole, he thought angrily to himself.I've imagined those legs wrapped around my waist so many times, and now I'm going to say no? Of course, I have to say no.After I've already lied to her so many times, taking advantage of her is just so fucking wrong.So, this is what it feels like to have a conscience? I don't like it.Fuck!His anger at himself grew more intense when he watched her beautiful face fall — the curved lines of her brows and cheeks suddenly descending into a look of shame and sadness.He'd imagined being with Jenna plenty of times, and in each of those fantasies, he never turned her down, which made the words he had just said all the more unbelievable to his own ears."Lie down?" she demanded with a stomp of her foot, jarring him from his silence
