“You guess?” I tease, my eyes holding hers.
“Yeah, but then again, we can go back to my dorm.”
“Don’t you share a room with Ally?”
“So?”
I shake my head. “So, that’s weird. I don’t want her walking in on us.”
She makes a face. “Who cares if she does?”
“As her cousin, you really don’t seem to care much about her feelings.”
She shakes her head, her eyes still very much narrowed. “It’s not that at all. But I’m getting the feeling that the guy I’m interested in is interested in her.”
“That’s not the case at all. I just don’t want to make anything weird for anyone.”
“If there are no feelings between you two, then why would it be weird?”
Well, shit, she’s got me there. “You’re right.”
She moves her thumb along my wrist. “Then let’s head back to my dorm.”
I hesitate. I fucking hesitate. This girl has her pussy on a platter, and I’m hesitating. What is wrong with me? My dad and my brother never hesitated, and look at them now, both really fucking happy. I don’t know why I am wavering. I should be up and ready to go, but I can’t seem to move.
“You’re an incredibly beautiful woman, and believe me, I would love to jump in bed with you—”
“But you’re not that kind of guy?”
I bite my lip and then nod. “I don’t want to sound like a pussy, and my brother would be very disappointed in me, but I think I want to get to know you a little more, rather than hop straight in bed with you.”
She quirks her lips. “I can respect that.”
“You think I’m a pussy?” I ask and she laughs.
“Actually, it’s refreshing for a guy to want to know me instead of just fucking me on night one.”
“I blame my mom.” She laughs, and I laugh along with her as I move closer to her. “I listen to her tell my sisters never to accept anything less than the royal treatment, and I think I don’t want to let her down. I wouldn’t want some dude to take either of my sisters to bed without knowing them. Though, I’m pretty sure Stella is busy as fuck.”
She laughs harder. “She isn’t a saint.”
“I know,” I say, shaking my head. “But for me, I want more than just a roll in the sack. I’m wired a different way.”
“I think that’s sweet,”
she says softly, and we share a grin.
I lower my voice and lean toward her. “But once I know you, believe me, I’ll fuck you not dumb, but stupid, which is way harder and with meaning.”
She beams at me, and a little snicker leaves her lips. “You’re so dorky.”
“It’s part of my charm.”
She hasn’t stopped smiling. “I’ve always found you attractive, and I’ve told Ally many times I don’t know how she isn’t humping you daily. But now I think I might like you, like you.”
I scoff. “Well, thanks.”
She bites her lip. “So.”
