intensity, quick-fast. He was so intense.
He wouldn't be easy to handle.
His fingers clenched around her face and
demanded an answer. "You still untouched?"
Well, now, that was a different question.
She took a deep breath and attempted to
answer him. "Virgin, yes. Untouched, no."
"How touched is touched?"
She felt a flush come over her face and
couldn't answer that question.
His hand jerked her chin up and his eyes
seared into hers. "You still got your cherry?"
Elaina gasped and began shaking harder. Jesus Christ.
His voice dropped as he continued. "Answer
me, Elaina."
"Y-yes. I mean, I think so--I guess so."
Raul learned a lot with that shaken
statement. She didn't touch herself. At least not internally. And
she probably still had her cherry. He was going to find out. But
not tonight. He couldn't trust himself tonight. But he would know.
He needed to know.
"Okay, now for my promise." His eyes
glittered down into hers. "I'm waiting."
Elaina searched his eyes. Could she promise
that? Did she want to? And what about him? The question came from
her mouth, "What about you?"
"I'm not a virgin." His voice was deep, and
for the first time that night, held a slight trace of humor.
Elaina' mouth tipped in a tiny smile. "I
figured. No, I mean, I'm guessing you're telling me to have fun
with my friends, grow up some, and stay a virgin for you. Do I have
that right?"
"Yeah."
"What about you? Are you going to remain
abstinent for me?"
"Celibate?"
"Yeah. Does it go both ways?"
Raul studied her, wanting to hold her by the
hips and sink into her so badly he thought the waiting would kill
him. He thought about having another woman and quickly dismissed it
from his mind. He didn't want one. He wanted her. Only
her .
He answered her swiftly. "Goes both
ways."
Elaina was stunned at his agreement and
didn't even think to question his sincerity. He was sincere. She
would bet on it. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah," he bit out.
"But--"
"I'm not promising I won't jack off, baby.
Just sayin' if you promise to save your cherry for me, I'll stay
clean for you."
Elaina's legs felt jittery as he spelled out
his intentions in basic male language.
"We in agreement?" He pushed for her
answer.
"Yeah, okay. But just so we're clear. I get a
job and continue with my life. I have my friends and you have your
friends and we're both social, just no sex. Right?"
He misunderstood what she said. "You getting
a job when you go back to San Antonio?"
"I'm not going back."
That was news to him. "What? Why?"
"That was my mother's dream for me, being a
nurse. I don't want that. I'm staying here, getting a job, while I
think about my life. About what I want."
Raul was shocked to feel a combination of
stunned pleasure that she wasn't leaving, along with a dark,
tormented knowledge that he'd have to keep fighting himself to stay
away from her.
He was silent as he tried to digest her
change of plans.
She went back to the subject at hand. "So, is
that right? About us, I mean."
He knew she was talking about their agreement
to stay celibate. "That'll be what it takes to calm me down,
yeah."
"And you'll believe me?"
"I have no reason to doubt your word."
An arrow of guilt slid through her.
"Okay."
"Yeah, okay?"
She tried to smile. "Okay."
She started to relax against the barn wall,
but in a swift move, he swung around until his back was against the
wall, his legs were spread wide, and she stood between them, her
pelvis pulled into his body by a strong arm behind her back.
One hand went to her forehead and pushed a
stray curl from her face. "Happy birthday, baby."
She smiled at him, trying to overcome the
guilt that slid through her from her deception. "Thanks," she said,
knowing she needed to tell him. It had gone too far. Now it felt
like a lie. She opened her mouth to try to form the words, but he
began speaking first and the sadness in his voice made her
momentarily forget what she needed to tell him.
"I had a shit day. You feel good."
