I woke up and found that my whole body was having a protest against me over a tiny bit of skin I didn't need. I reached out for Ryan and found him gone. I pulled on my discarded underwear and went searching for him, finger combing my hair into a semblance of normality.
I padded into the kitchen and saw Ryan sitting at the dining table, his forearms braced on either side of a white china coffee cup, his curls falling over his forehead. He glanced up and gave me a warm smile.
“What are you doing up so early?” he asked. “It's five something stupid.”
I sat opposite him, crossing my legs nervously. I winced at the ache of closing my legs. “You give a girl a complex if you disappear in the morning.”
He sighed, his lashes floating downwards. “I couldn’t sleep, but I didn’t want to wake you. You looked really peaceful. Do you want some coffee?”
I shook my head, curling my hands around the edge of the table to stop myself from going over to touch him. I felt as if there were a ten-foot barrier between me and him, and I didn’t know where it had come from—besides the fact I was the worst lay in the world. “Why can’t you sleep?”
He cracked a grin. “Other than the fact that you snore more when you’re sober than when you’re drunk?”
“Shush!”
His smile melted from his face, and he rubbed his stubbly jawline with a broad palm. “Just feel…pretty intense.”
My heart caught in my throat. “Because of me?” I whispered.
He didn’t look at me, only moved the handle of the cup from left to right. “Lot of responsibility being a girl’s first.”
I shrugged. “It’s a way to make sure I never forget your name. But you know, for me, it was beyond amazing.”
He reached across the table, catching my hand suddenly to squeeze my fingers tightly. “You are so fucking sweet. I don’t get what I did to deserve you.”
Why did I feel like I was about to get dumped? “You think you don’t deserve me?”
“Not in the slightest.” He swept his thumb over my knuckles before releasing me.
“Why’s that then?”
He speared his hand through his hair. “You…you are Galliano talented, you sing like Skin, you’re incredibly generous…and you’ve got knockers that a man can only dream about.”
“You’re being utterly silly,” I admonished.
“But mainly, I feel like I don’t deserve you because you haven’t let any dirty old codger touch you. Except me.”
“You’re not old,” I teased, but caught on that he was weirdly upset about this. “You know why that is, though.”
He took his bottom lip into his mouth, thinking. “Yeah, I do.”
Okay, he was clearly dumping me. I shouldn’t have said anything; I knew I should have just kept it to myself. “You want to back off, don’t you?”
He looked up sharply. “Court…”
“No, no. I get it. It’s too much for a man to take. You know, the virginity thing, the other thing, you know, that ‘l’ word thing.
