indication. Was it what you expected?”
“Yeah, it was exactly what I expected. I just think my, I don’t know, tastes have changed, maybe.”
I looked away again, too ashamed to see his reaction. He had to know what I meant but I wasn’t ready for his rejection and I wasn’t able to keep my feelings to myself any longer.
I was too tightly wound after everything I’d learned and experienced in the previous 24 hours. I just needed to lay it all out and move on. One way or another.
“What do you mean?” He hooked his foot under the wheel of my desk chair and slid me closer to him. His knees just barely touched mine but the proximity to him had my stomach in knots.
I’d never felt this way with Maggie...even when her bare nipples were rubbing against mine. How could his knee create such a visceral reaction?
“She is pretty and sexy...but she felt too soft. Does that make sense? I kept comparing her body to...” I couldn’t say it. I didn’t want to admit my feelings in case they were completely one sided. And why wouldn't they be one sided?
Now that I had met his ex, who was a roided out jock, it was clear to me that I was not what he was usually attracted to. And, in the few months we’d been roommates, he’d never indicated that he was interested in me in that way.
Well, except for bringing home that guy that kinda looked like me the night before. That seemed to be a turning point for both of us.
“Comparing her to what?” he pressed. “You know you can tell me anything.” His eyes were begging me to say what I wanted to say...so I went for it.
“You.”
I barely made a sound but it was out there. I could see the hints of a smile on his face so I continued.
“I kept wondering what your chest would feel like under my fingertips. What it would be like for you to touch me.” I paused to take a deep breath. “I wanted it to be you.”
He put both hands on my knees and pulled me fully against the bed with both of his thighs cradling mine. It felt like electricity was flowing from his hands into my body. I was fully aware of every molecule of his body that was touching mine. I wanted to be closer to him and feel his hard body over every inch of mine.
“Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel pressure to do anything you’re not ready for. You just barely lost your virginity to a woman. Maybe you need some time to work through that?”
“ No. I don’t need more time. I feel something when I’m with you. Something I’ve never really felt before.” Definitely not what I felt with Maggie. “I think it’s....lust.” I looked down at his hands and placed my fingers above his.
“Look at me,” he said in a husky whisper. He leaned forward and when his mouth was just an inch away from mine, he said, “Can I kiss you?”
I nodded and closed my eyes. He moved slowly and when his lips finally made contact with mine all of the fear and confusion that I’d been feeling evaporated.
I was exactly where I wanted to be with the right person this time. I felt the heat of that kiss pulse through my very core. I couldn’t keep my hands to myself. My free hand dug into Brett’s short hair and my casted arm rested on his hip where my fingers found the hem on his shirt and brushed his smooth skin beneath. Every nerve was lit up with the energy between the two of us.
“Are you really sure? I’ve wanted this for a long time, but if this is new for you, maybe we should wait until you’ve had more time to t hink?” I shook my head.
Leaning forward, he gently pulled me on top of him as he lay back on the bed. With my elbows planted on both sides of his head, he grinned up at me.
“So you couldn’t resist my boyish charms, I see.”
“Shut up.” I crushed my lips on his and kissed him deeply. His hands were under my shirt and it was off my head before we were ready to breathe. I could feel the trail of fire his fingers left as he dragged them up and down my bare back.
