“I’m not fist-bumping you over this.” My smile practically jumped through my words, causing my lips to twitch as I tried to hold it in.
He moved closer still. My eyes flicked between his fist and the floor three times before I unfolded only one hand from my crossed-arm position and tapped Oli’s knuckles with a single finger. That’s all he was gonna get from me.
“Yeah!” He lifted himself from his seat and cheered immediately. “Jonah touched a girl!”
I rolled my eyes. “Don’t talk about your sister like that.”
Noah let out a triumphant hurrah. Both he and Oli neared each other in celebratory jumps until they locked in a hopping hug.
Fucking idiots.
Chapter 32
Kai
The next morning, Aaron, Briggs and I took our spots in the stretching area. The rubber flooring dug into my bones as I sat with my legs crossed, hands placed on my sneakers. A question had been lingering in my mind since yesterday afternoon. Well, a lot of things had been lingering in my mind, but one thing in particular. Who better to ask than Aaron and Briggs?
“Can I ask you guys something?”
Both boys looked at me. Briggs shifted his eyes up from his leaning position over his legs, and Aaron sighed, twisting back around to face me from stretching his back. I took those looks as a yes. Twiddling my fingers, I mulled over the best way to ask. But it was evident. Straight and to the point or it’d only be twice as awkward as it needed to be.
“Do you guys…moan when you have sex?”
Briggs leaned up fully. Aaron gave me the most ridiculous look, tilting his head and slitting his eyes as if he couldn’t comprehend my words.
I pulled my hands into my chest and glanced between them. “I’m serious.”
It seemed like Briggs was going to open his mouth, but Aaron cut in before he could say anything. “No, I don’t moan, Kai. What kind of question is that?”
Interesting.
“You don’t make any noise?” I asked.
“I mean I, like, breathe, I guess. And I say things.”
“But you don’t fully let go?”
He shifted into a more comfortable position for conversing—or debating, judging by his composure which grew more and more self-justifying with each sentence. “Yeah, I let go, but I can control my…noises, Kai. I’m not the one getting fucked.”
Ugh. That sentence made me cringe. I tried to hide my grimace. “That doesn’t sound very fun.”
“Believe me, they love it.”
I scratched beneath my ponytail. Aaron kind of sounded like what Jonah was talking about. Maybe he wanted to be in control, or appear in control. It just seemed like kind of a bland way to look at it all, to chalk it all up to I’m not the one getting fucked as a way to cover up the fact that he didn’t even feel good enough to moan. Or was I just overthinking all of this? I mean, it was just a moan, for fuck’s sake. “But do you love it?”
Aaron’s chin pushed forward as his eyebrows jumped up with offense. “Excuse me?”
“Well, I’m just saying. You seem to go through a lot of girls especially. Are you really enjoying any of them?”
He rolled his eyes and looked away. “Yes, Kai, I enjoy having sex with women. They don’t seem to have any complaints.”
“But do you?”
His body tensed as he came closer and closer to what appeared to be some sort of attack position. “Are you suggesting I don’t do well in bed?”
His defensiveness absolutely destroyed any intimidation that might have come from his giant, stiff being. It was a little sad, until it was downright funny. “I’m suggesting that maybe there’s more to it than making girls scream and feeling big about it.”
“Do you need me to prove something to you, Kai? Because I will.”
