“You were tired.” He yawned, then walked toward his bedroom door. “Do you have classes today? I only have one on Friday, but it’s in a few hours. I’m happy to drive you to your car whenever you’re ready.”

His words hit me. I needed to leave. “Oh. I’ll change into my scrubs now. We can go in five minutes.”

The smile fell from his face. “Audrey, you need to stop assuming things when I speak. I’m not rushing you out. Daniel and I agreed to make pancakes for you today when I took him to bed. My intention was that I don’t want you missing class or plans because of me.”

I chewed my lip. “You don’t want me leaving?”

He shook his head and walked toward his bed, his gaze moving along my hairline to my mouth. “Seeing you in my bed, wearing my clothes, is doing something to me, Audrey.” He dipped his head and kissed below my ear, then along my jaw to my mouth. “We have a lot to talk about, but I have never watched Toy Story with my family with any girl before. Ever. It’s important you know that.”

He then kissed a soft, barely there peck against my lips before leaning back. It was a tease, a total way to torture me, and I held my breath as he left the room. His lips were warm and full and perfect, and my insides were a hot mess. A heat spread through me, hot and aggressive and overwhelming. I shifted my weight because the pressure was growing so much it was almost unpleasant. My skin buzzed, and I needed to release this pressure. I had no idea how. But I whimpered, the heat expanding into a desperation.

I’d been horny before. I’d tried masturbating before, but nothing came of it. I almost had an orgasm once, years ago, but it wasn’t fulfilling, and I assumed orgasming just wasn’t meant for me. It didn’t bother me because I wasn’t in a relationship. I figured I’d cross that bridge when I got there, but right now, I couldn’t breathe with the heat spreading through me, lighting my veins on fire.

Theo had kissed me.

Twice.

Shit.

I leaned back onto the bed and slid my hands down his shorts. Moisture pooled between my thighs, and I shuddered at the feeling when I touched myself. It had never been like this. This desperate, fiery feeling.

“Hey, Auds.” Theo returned, opening the door just as I bit down on my lip.

My world shattered.

His bed needed to sink into the floor and consume me. I removed my hand, my fingers wet from touching myself, and he picked up on what I was doing immediately.

His nostrils flared as he shut his door and leaned against it, wearing the most serious expression I had ever seen.

Time stopped. The creaking floor and the chirping birds faded into the distance as the only sound was my rapid heartbeat.

“Do you need help?”

Holy shit. My eyes almost rolled to the back of my head at his question. A growl escaped from my chest as the pounding need consumed me again. I squirmed on his bed, my brain battling this heat. This was a terrible idea, yet I needed it.

“I don’t know. I’ve never really…” I trailed off, sucking in a breath when he bit his bottom lip and groaned.

“You’ve never what?”

“Orgasmed.” Shame consumed me, a dull prickle attacking my skin as I had to look away from him. It was embarrassing. It wasn’t that I hadn’t tried, but it just didn’t work. He had to think I was pathetic.

“Oh, Audrey.” He chuckled and walked toward the end of the bed, his eyes darkening with lust. His voice dropped an octave, all gravely and sexy. His gaze trailed from my face to my neck, then landed between my thighs. “I’d like to help you if you let me.”

“I’m a virgin!” I blurted out, laying it all on the table. If he didn’t think I was so out of his league, he would now. Maybe this was good. We could end this before it became anything because our relationship was complicated as hell.

But instead of recoiling or laughing or leaving, he shrugged. “That’s fine, but honey, I meant talking you through one.”

“T-talking?”

He nodded, and a pleased glint crossed his eyes. “I’ve barely kissed you and have yet to take you on a date. Even though I’m dying to touch you, I haven’t earned the right yet.”

I swallowed. He was being a gentleman, yet I wanted him to grab my legs and touch me. Help me out of my head. “So you’re gonna stand there and…”

“Coach you. Tell you what to do.” He licked the side of his lip again. “Fuck, this is a fantasy right now, Auds. I hope you know that.”

“This? Helping me orgasm because I never have?”

He nodded. “You’re in my bed, in my clothes, and you touched yourself. So yes. Now, are you comfortable taking off your shorts, or do you want to leave them on?”
