out, I’ll walk with you.” LJ caught up with her and walked ahead of Kylie, clearing a path to the door. Her heart began racing harder when she realized Cassie was outside waiting for her. Dammit. But it was too late to do anything about that as the doors swung open and they walk out into the night air.
    Kylie touched LJ’s arm. “You can do better than her, LJ,” she said as she glared at Cassie who was leaning against a car and tapping her foot.
    LJ took her arm and led her to the side of the building. “I can do better? With who? You?” She didn’t mean to sound so angry, but LJ was clearly out of her element and that scared her.
    An expression that looked like recognition crossed Kylie’s face.
    “Yes,” Kylie whispered, “with me.”
    LJ pulled her close and kissed her deeply, running her tongue over the soft lips, which parted for her. She stopped and took a step back, sneering at Kylie. “Is that what you want?”
      “Yes.” Kylie put her arms around LJ’s neck and drew her in for another kiss.
    All the bells and whistles in LJ’s head were going off, and she pushed Kylie away. “It will never happen.” Inside she was shaking, afraid to let her true emotions show and terrified of what might happen if she did. “I’m not going to be your experiment for a walk on the wild side,” she bit out. “Find someone else, because it won’t be me.”
    “An experiment, you say. That’s not what this is.” Kylie was looking her straight in the eyes.
    “Whatever.” LJ shook her head. “It will never happen. I don’t fuck my employees.” She turned away from Kylie, who was staring at her with what looked like a startled expression and walked over to Cassie.
    Once they were inside, she roughly kissed Cassie, lifted her skirt, and rammed three fingers inside her. Cassie tried to do the same, but LJ yanked Cassie’s fingers away from her crotch. “No.”
    “Hey, no fair.” Cassie went for LJ again only to have her fingers swatted away.
    Cassie’s orgasm came hard and fast, but LJ didn’t let up. “Again, come again for me.”
    Cassie cried out, “Stop, you’re hurting me.”
    Horrified and ashamed at her actions, LJ wiped her fingers on the singer’s skirt, opened the door, got out, and then turned back to her. “I won’t come back here to be with you ever again.”
    “You’re a cold, heartless shit. I don’t know why I got involved with you in the first place. Go on and go. I don’t want you around me anymore.” Cassie glared at her. “Get the fuck out of my life!”
    LJ slammed the door and walked quickly away. In the lonely night, she headed for her truck, hanging her head in shame. Thoughts of Kylie, who she’d cruelly turned away, filled her mind, making her disgrace all the greater.

     
    From the vantage point of her car, Kylie watched LJ enter the singer’s vehicle only to get out a few minutes later, looking furious as she snapped at the woman in the car. It hadn’t been difficult to see what was happening inside Cassie’s car, since it was parked under a streetlight. Feeling like a voyeur, she chastised herself for watching the sexual encounter in fascination, unable to look away.
    When LJ had asked, “With who? You?” Kylie had realized what was behind her quest to be friends with LJ—her interest was romantic. She closed her eyes, relishing in the powerful feelings of arousal the kiss caused.
    “God, what’s the matter with me? She’s a woman. I’m a woman.” But in her heart, she knew that being attracted to a woman didn’t matter.

 

     

     

     

     

     
    Chapter Nine
     

     

    LJ looked in the bathroom mirror Saturday morning, wondering how her life had gotten so out of control. For the last fifteen years, she’d found no need to have friends or even be pleasant to anyone. All she’d needed was her work and an occasional impersonal liaison. Now she was confused, fetching lunches, and worrying about another human being.
    “You have to get a grip on
