I buried it, like I had so much else, vowing not to bring it up again until I was sure she felt the same.
I dried her off, paying special attention to her tits and pussy, and she did the same for me, making sure that my cock was thoroughly dry and ready for the day. She also gave it an impulsive little kiss on the head.
She asked about the scars on my back, but I brushed her question off by saying they had happened at a different time in my life and were nothing to worry about. She wasn’t happy with that answer, but she accepted it.
I wasn’t sure if she was falling for me the same way I was for her, but she sure did like my cock, which was certainly a start.
Leaving her wrapped in a towel, drying her copious amounts of hair, I went to get ready for my audition, checking back in on her on my way out.
“I have to go, hot stuff. Take your time and eat what you want from the kitchen. Just lock up on your way out.”
“I don’t have a key.”
“You do now,” I said and smiled. “Check your phone for the code and app to open the door.”
The look on her face was so priceless I knew that downloading the app earlier while we were both getting ready had been a risk worth taking.
She wanted to stay at my place more, and I wanted the same.
This relationship was already headed in a great direction, and I could only hope for my good luck in it to continue.
Chapter Twelve – Maggie
The eggs popped and sizzled in the fancy cast iron skillet. There was a matching one next to it, with some really good-looking bacon that I just couldn’t resist.
I was glad that Gavin had said I could eat anything I wanted. Our sexathon last night, followed up by this morning’s quickie, had both left me famished.
It seemed pretty cool that we were already at the “stay as long as you want at my place” stage of our relationship. And even the “here’s the code to my place” stage.
It wasn’t really a “relationship” since we hadn’t talked about it, but to me, it felt as if it was, even though that didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
We really hadn’t known each other that long. We had been aware of each other’s existence for a week, and there hadn’t been any real contact between when we met at the professional building and when Gavin came to pick me up for the engagement party.
We were really little more than strangers when you thought about it— even calling us friends would be pushing it— and our relationship was supposed to be fake, a ruse to fool Kenny and Raquel and make them jealous and let them know that they couldn’t kick me around anymore. That I was better than that.
If I couldn’t be sure of anything else, it was that. They had tried to destroy me with their affair, and dammit, they had gotten close, but I wasn’t going to let them do that to me.
My dad used to say I was like a willow.
I might bend, but I would never break.
Which didn’t help much with Gavin.
I really did feel like I was starting to fall in love with him, but I had no idea if he felt the same. He had said that thing in the shower, but that could have been just a joke or maybe pillow talk, so to speak. He had laughed, but only after I had.
It was possible that he had been serious and didn’t want to admit it. I wasn’t sure that I did either. Not even to myself. It seemed really big and scary. Kenny was the only boyfriend I’d ever had, and look how that had ended.
Was it really possible to find another love so quickly?
To fall in love in the blink of an eye?
What did that mean about my previous relationship?
That I didn’t really love Kenny, I supposed.
It was surprising to consider, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. It was really romantic, at least early on, but it wasn’t really love.
I was just too young and innocent to see it. I had no indication that Kenny ever really loved me, either.
He tried to woo me, alright, but that could just have been so that he could have my body. Dad would have kicked his ass if he’d been around. He wasn’t a violent man, but he was really big and wouldn’t have taken too kindly to someone in his thirties exploiting his teenage daughter.
My mind spun, and I was beginning to feel sick. I needed to leave and get some air. I turned off the stove, threw away the food, and cleaned up before I went into the bedroom to get my clothes.
