“Well, you got the first part right. Can you blame them?”
“Yes,” he said stubbornly. “I mean, no.”
“Which is it?”
“No. They want you. I want you.” He ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “And I… I don’t know what to do about that.”
Well, that was honest. It seemed tequila hadn’t only made Caleb fun but introspective.
“I guess maybe the first question then should be, what do youwantto do about it?”
“Yell?” Caleb suggested. “Scream? This is all so confusing… So…frustrating. All these years I thought you hated me, that I hated you, when really I wanted— Ugh.”
He threw his hands up in the air, his frustration getting the best of him as words got jumbled in his inebriated brain.
“I just can’t believe that after aaall this time, when I finally say, ‘Hey, yeah, I’m open to seeing what this is and letting you be my first,’youdecide to go and flirt with every available cock in sight.”
As Caleb’s words filled the space between us, I could barely believe what I was hearing. Drunk or not, this was the first timehe’d ever mentioned half of the shit tumbling off his tongue, so how the hell was I supposed to know where his mind was at?
He’d told me to play it cool. I did.
He’d told me to keep my hands to myself. I did—when it came to him.
And I was pretty sure he’d told me to make sure none of our friends worked out what was going on between us. Which. I. Did.
Now he was standing here telling meIfucked up tonight? Oh no. I didn’t think so.
“Okay, first off,” I said, holding up a finger in front of his face that he did his best to focus on, “youare the one who has been hellbent on keeping this a secret. If I hadmyway, we would’ve shown up at that club together tonight. Second…”
I shoved two fingers in Caleb’s face, and his eyes narrowed.
“You told me to act normal. Normal for me is man-whoring my way through Manhattan. If I’d changed behavior tonight, people would’ve gotten suspicious.”
“East.”
“Yeah, but I’m pretty sure the moment you all but threw down over me on the dance floor, his desire for a forbidden romance was fulfilled. Brotherly love and all.”
“Stepbrothers. We aren’t related.”
“Thank God for that,” I said, and took his hand, bringing it down to the hard-on his little display tonight had caused. “Because otherwise this would be really fucking inconvenient.”
Caleb’s fingers automatically squeezed my stiffening length, and his glassy eyes locked on mine. “This is for me?”
“All for you.” I thrust my hips forward into his hand. “Always has been.”
“Mmm.” Caleb licked his lips. “That’s hot.”
“So are you.” So damn hot I’d almost forgotten where I was going with all of this. But when Caleb let go of me to flick openthe button of my pants, my brain switched back on and I took hold of his wrist, halting him.
My last point was the most important I was going to make tonight, and I needed to make it now, before things got out of hand.
“You want me to be your first?”
Caleb rolled his eyes and he did his best to act blasé about the whole thing, even as his cheeks turned several shades of red. “Well, like, with a guy. I’m not a total virgin.”
“No?” I’d never imagined for a second that he was. Not with the way girls threw themselves at him. But his need to make that point made him even more adorable. “Thank God, because I only deflowerpartialvirgins.”
Caleb shoved me in the arm, and I caught his wrist, pulling him in, wrapping my arm around him.
