I chuckle and hold out a hand, helping her up when she takes it.
“You good now?” Concern fills my voice.
“Yeah, I’m good.”
We shower and get dressed, and thirty minutes later, I’m kissing Sophie goodbye beside her car in her apartment’s underground parking area.
“Does last night count as date number two, considering you arranged it when it was supposed to be my turn?” she asks.
“You can organize the third date. I hear third dates are the really fun ones.” I raise my brows at her suggestively.
“Drew, I don’t…” She studies my face as she chooses her next words. “You said about honesty and communication upstairs. And I appreciate that. Which is why you should know that I don’t normally… I’ve never had sex before date five before. At least. It’s usually a lot longer than that. And you and me… this.” She gestures between us. “This isn’t what I usually do. I don’t want you to think—”
I kiss her again, pulling her body flush to mine.
“Numbers don’t matter to me. I don’t care what you’ve done before. All I care about is that now it’s about you and me. Andonlyyou and me.”
“I never date more than one person at a time. That’s just… That’s not me.” She looks away like the idea repulses her.
“You said you want orgasms and dates.” I bring her gaze back to mine with two fingers beneath her chin.
“I did say that.” The warmth returns to her eyes as she blinks up at me.
“Then that’s what you shall have. But…” I sink my teeth into my lower lip as I run my thumb across her parted lips.
“But?”
“There’s something I want too.” I push my thumb past her lips, far enough to dust over the tip of her tongue. “The first time, I let you have for free. Last night…” I groan as she licks the tip of my thumb. “I couldn’t fucking resist you.Again.But now? If this happens a third time…” I take my thumb back as I look at her. “If this is going to happen a third time, then I want to hear you say it.”
“Say what?”
“That we’re a thing. You and me. I’m too old to fuck around. I want your relationship status changed on Facebook.”
She laughs. “I don’t have Facebook.”
“You sure you’re human?” I quirk a brow before I press a kiss to her lips. “I’m serious. This happens again and you’re my girlfriend. And I’m going to make sure the whole world knows it.” I slide my hands down the sides of her body and curl them around her waist. “So, what’s it going to be, Ms. Havers? You and me?”
Her eyes narrow as a smile plays on her lips. “You’re unlike any other man I’ve dated.”
“I fucking hope so.” I pause when she doesn’t say anything. “That a bad thing?” I tighten my grip on her.
“No. It’s just… You’re not afraid of commitment. In fact, you’re the opposite. It’s like you know exactly what you want and—” She sucks in a sharp breath. “Please tell me you aren’t married.”
“What?”
“I… Never mind. It’s too much to get into now. But my ex, I found out that he was. It’s why we broke up.” Her foreheadfurrows, and her eyes pinch. I hate that he’s inside her head right now, making her doubt things. Doubt me. Doubt us.
I cup her face. “Is there a ring on my finger?”
“No.”
“Is there a ring on yours?”
“No.”
“Then I’m not fucking married, Sophie.” I stare into her eyes. “You and me?”
Her next words have calmness washing over me.
