“Hmm.”
“Are you, I mean were you a virgin?”
She looked over her shoulder at him. “No. Why?”
Now how did he answer that without making her think something was wrong? Because it sure as hell hadn’t been. “You were so tight. I just wondered.” Not that he’d been with a virgin other than his first time, but that was so long ago he’d almost forgotten.
She sighed and turned over to face him. “It’s been a long time.”
“How long?” he asked before realizing he needed to shut the hell up. “Never mind. Not my business.”
“Eight years.”
He stared at her, bereft of words. Eight years? That was… She’d been in college eight years ago. And she hadn’t made love since? Not with anyone? “I’m glad it was me you broke that streak with.”
She smiled and kissed him. “I am too.” After a moment she said, “What about—” She broke off and shook her head. “No, never mind.”
“What about me?”
“I wasn’t going to ask.”
“Yes, you were. It’s okay. Eight, no almost nine months.”
She stared at him with her mouth open. “You’re kidding. You really haven’t had sex in nine months?”
“Nope.”
“Why?”
“Well, Damaris,” he said, pulling her close and smiling at her. “That would be because of you.” He kissed her and waited for her to freak out.
She didn’t quite freak out. But she did sit up in bed and look like she was about to run. “Be-because of me? You don’t—I can’t—”
“Before you blow a gasket, do you remember when we first met?”
“Yes.”
“And I tried my best to get you into bed and you shut me down?”
“Yes.”
“You just wanted to be friends, so that was that. But I never stopped wanting you.”
“Why?”
“Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?” Her brown hair was wild and tumbled, flowing over her shoulders and down her back. Her brown eyes were dark and mysterious-looking. Her lips were red and puffy from his kisses. Her nipples showed through her thin shirt and he wanted to caress them again. How could she not realize how gorgeous she was?
“Yes, and I’ve also seen the women you go out with. Hell, I set you up with a lot of them.”
Dramatically, he put his hand over his heart. “What can I say? The heart wants what it wants.”
Her eyes narrowed and she glared at him. Then she picked up a pillow and started hitting him with it. “You are so not funny!”
He laughed, trying to dodge the pillow. She kept it up until he grabbed the pillow out of her hand and tossed it aside. Then he pushed her back on the bed and kissed her. And continued to kiss her until he felt her body soften and she wrapped her arms around him. “No fair.”
“What’s no fair?”
“You. You’re no fair at all. You know you’re a really good kisser.”
