“Oh, yeah? And just what about him screamed ‘bad news’? He’s captain of the debate team, not the fucking quarterback. He’s harmless. I like him … and unlike some people, he likes me back.” The last few words had lost their hard edge and were said quietly. Most of her irritation had gone, only to be replaced with … sadness.
“I like you, Elle. Too much …” It was the beer that made me take that first step toward her. It was my need to know the feel of her against me that made me take the second and third, until I was standing close enough that I could smell her perfume and feel the heat radiating from her body.
“I like you a lot …” I whispered, leaning even closer.
“Then kiss me already,” she said, having regained the frustrated edge to her voice.
That was when I was pulled back by someone grabbing my shirt, the same way I had pulled Ethan off her. Only this time it was my best friend, her brother.
“Harrison! What the fuck, man? What were you thinking? That’s my fucking sister, you pervert.” Alex’s face was contorted in anger, his fists clenched at his sides.
“Alex, it’s not what it looks like.” I tried reasoning with him, moving away from Elle with hands held out in front of me, shame running through my veins like a toxin.
“Sure as fuck doesn’t look like nothing. I’ve seen you looking at her. I hoped I was wrong, that you weren’t a creep. But first chance you get… here you are. Making a move on a minor.”
“Alex, nothing happened. And I’m not a minor,” Elle said as she moved out from behind me. “He was making sure I was okay after he dragged Ethan off me. He didn’t do anything wrong. He’s not a creep.”
Pervert.
Creep.
Is that what I am? Is that what other people think of me … will think of me if I try to be something more with Elle?
I turned my back on Alex,and tried to explain things to Elle. “Alex is right. I am a creep. I think it’ll be better if I leave,” I said, looking at her, hoping that she could hear the apology in my voice. Read the remorse in my eyes.
“Sorry, Alex,” I said as I passed him.
“Fuck off, Harrison. Don’t come near her. I don’t ever want to see you again,” Alex yelled after me.
Just the memory of that night makes my heart clench and my throat tight.
Am I a pervert? I was at an auction for college students …
No. Elle is a consenting adult; she’s not a teenager anymore. Our seven-year age gap doesn‘t seem that big now. She’s twenty-three and I’m thirty.
I sigh into the dark room, feeling frustrated with myself and the damned past, and future … but then Elle moves deeper into my body and I don’t care if this is wrong or right.
This is where I want to be.
And not for one night only, either. I want Elle in my future … I want her laughter, her smile, and her body with me always. Man, I am fucked. Can I honestly still be in love with her after all this time?
We’re older and we’ve matured. I want to get to know her again—fall in love all over again.
I groan, rubbing my palm over my eyes. I don’t fucking care what Alex or her family think. I only care about what Elle thinks, what Elle wants … I want to explore this feeling. Want to explore Elle, my angel.
I’m not going to have anyone stand in my way.
CHAPTER11
The scent of rich coffee awakens my senses, and I luxuriate in the feeling of being totally sated. Every muscle in my body feels languid and refreshed. Almost like I don’t need caffeine to start my day—almost. I stretch my arms out over my head and point my toes, loving the used feeling of my body.
Last night, I had the best sex of my life.I smile at the memory of Harrison fucking me.
I’m not a prude, but I wouldn’t call myself promiscuous, either. I just don’t like turning down a new experience … and college is full of hot, new experiences.
But sex with Harrison was something more, something … beautiful. Maybe it’s because I’ve wanted him since I was seventeen. Maybe it’s because he’s a god in the sack. All I know for certain is that I don’t want last night to be the last time we’re together. Well, he did promise me a round two.
I open my eyes and look for my sex god. He’s sitting on the window seat, right where I had my coffee yesterday. The sun’s rays are faint through the glass, which means we still have a few hours before our ‘experience’ needs to come to an end.
