Itâs late Sunday night when Cole and I finally arrive in his apartment. Cole hasnât touched me since we left my parentâs sight. I thought that was what I wanted. I thought it would make being around him easier if he went back to staring at his phone and ignoring me.
But if anything, it makes me more aware of him. Heâs being so careful not to touch me, all I can think of is his hands on me in a dark theater. I canât help but notice the way his phone lights up the angles of his face. I see the intent focus on his face and remember when all that energy was trained on me.
I told Cole my lapse of judgment in the theater wasnât personal. And I wasnât lying. Not exactly. It has been a while since I had sex. With all the stress of the last few weeks, there is a part of me that just wants to give in to my body and burn off some steam.
But it wasnât the whole truth either. This thing between me and Cole, this desire, is so much more intense because itâs him. Heâs by turns warm and cold, kind and sarcastic. Heâs wickedly smart, but he wonât gamble, even when the odds are in his favor. Heâs always in control, except when my touch turns him wild. Or when heâs holding back all that power for my benefit, saying things like What you want is the most important thing that matters here.
I shiver at the memory.
âCold?â Cole asks as he sets down our suitcases.
âNo,â I say.
Itâs on the tip of my tongue to ask Cole if he wants to order food or watch a movie. Maybe if we keep doing normal, nonsexual things, I can trick my brain into putting him back in the friend box. The roommate box. The boss box.
Maybe.
âI need to work,â Cole says, without looking up from his phone. âBut I got something for you. I hope you like it.â
And then heâs striding off toward his office before I can ask what he means.
I wonder if heâs actually got work at 9:30 p.m. on a Sunday night. Or if heâs just trying to avoid me.
Either way, itâs probably for the best. Maybe it will be easier to stop thinking about Cole if I can keep him at least two flights of stairs away.
I head upstairs with my suitcase, wondering what he got me. Probably more outfits some stylist picked out.
The clothes are fun, but not if theyâll mean I have to spend more time with Coleâs dad.
I step into my room, kick off my shoes, and notice a cardboard box on my bed, addressed to me. The box itself is black, classy, and free of labels. I open it up, confused at first by the curve of purple silicon.
What the ...?
I spot the instruction booklet at the same time my fingers find a button that makes the whole thing vibrate.
I blink. Cole got me a vibrator.
