Jared seemed totally fascinated with my virginity, something he brought up more than once that first week. He seemed to think that it was something he now had to protect from the rest of the male population, and no matter how much I reminded him that I’d been the one safeguarding it all my life, that didn’t seem to work for him. That was the beginning of his bratty behavior and how I ended up sleeping in his bed.

My whole body heated, and I had to squeeze my thighs together as scenes from that night flashed through my head. It had been exactly one week and a day since we’d met. We were in his apartment as usual, where I’d been every day after class at his insistence.

We were in the middle of one of our hot and heavy make-out sessions that always left me feeling needy and achy, to the point that I was the one who’d begged him to just take my virginity and get it over with on day three. He’d laughed it off then and whispered that we should wait and give me more time. To which I’d argued that I didn’t need more time.

That night when I once again told him I was ready, in fact, I’d gone past ready to something way more pressing, and he once again rebuffed me, I’d jokingly or not so jokingly told him that since he keeps revving me up and leaving me high and dry, I was just going to find the next cute guy on campus and let him finish the job.

That is a mistake I won’t ever make again in my life. Not unless I want to get choked out again. Then again, my nerd is so sexy when he’s pissed that I just might risk it again. No sooner had those words been out of my mouth than I found myself on my back on his couch with him looming over me and his hand around my throat.

“Say it again; I dare you.” At first, I thought he was playing around. I’d learned in the past week that he has a very playful side. In fact, I’d seen many sides to the elusive Jared Macalister that endeared him to me. I’m still confused as to just how much of a nerd he really is since he looks and acts unlike any I’ve ever met, and that steely assuredness of his throws me the hell off.

That night left me even more confused. The look in his eyes told me that he was not playing, and just as I was trying to figure out if this was some American psycho shit, he leaned in and kissed me, with his hand around my throat and his body pressing mine into the couch.

I’m not sure what either of us expected, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the spontaneous climax I had that made me shriek into his mouth as my body twitched beneath his. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I lost my virginity exactly one week and one day after our first meeting. I snuggled into my pillow and let the memories wash over me from beginning to end, feeling as if I was back there on that amazing night.

The look in his eyes when he drew back to look down at me is one that will be seared into my brain forever. There was such heat mixed with the anger my words had called forth that the mix did something strangely exciting to his blue-grey eyes. There was a pinpoint of light in the very center of his pupils that hadn’t been there before, and the way his breath hitched when he studied me, it was all getting to me even as I, too, fought to catch my breath.

His hand eased its grip on my throat, but he did not release me completely. And when he leaned in, bringing his lips close to my ear, I thought my heart would explode; it was beating so hard. “Do that again.” He whispered his command against my ear, letting his lips graze me there, and started a fire in the pit of my stomach as he moved those lips slowly, teasingly from my ear along my cheek down to the corner of my mouth.

I tried to remember if I’d eaten or drank anything since walking through the door because I felt drugged, almost hypnotized, but we hadn’t had dinner yet, and the water I’d accepted was still in its fancy bottle unopened on the desk he’d set up for me in his office across from his so I could do my homework while he overlooked his nerd fiefdom.

“I don’t think I can. I don’t know what I did the first time.” My body was still singing from whatever that was. I’ve been turned on plenty in the last few days and had come close to orgasm a time or two before this tease put the brakes on, but today he hadn’t yet done any of the things he’d taught me in the last few days were the quick and easy ways to get into my pants.
