Chapter Sixteen

Hurt clouded Tristan’s expression, and Rory wanted to punch himself in the throat for putting it there.

She forced a strained smile. “Good to know I’m special.”

He sighed and lowered his forehead to hers for a moment. Christ. Why had he told her the truth? This was why he didn’t do relationships. He fucked everything up and just ended up hurting people who didn’t deserve to be hurt. “You are special. That’s the problem.”

He finally lifted his head afraid to see what effect, if any, his words had. Reluctantly, he met her eyes. She didn’t look like she believed him. Could there be a more awkward time for this conversation? He was still inside her, for fuck’s sake.

He blew out a hard breath. “I don’t really do relationships. Beyond friendships, I mean. And even those…” He shrugged. The motion rubbed his chest against her still pebble-hard nipples, making it even more difficult to think clearly.

“I knew, that despite my attraction to you, that I shouldn’t let myself get involved. But then, the whole Tumblr thing happened, and I couldn’t stop myself.”

He chanced a look at her face. She watched him intently.

“I put kissing as a limit because I thought it would be easier to keep it more impersonal.” He laughed to himself. “I’d also said only once. For the same reason.” He looked down at where her breasts were pressed against his chest. “But you can see how well both of those plans worked.”

He brushed her hair away from her eyes, trying to smother the never-ending urge to kiss her.

“Is this your way of saying you’d rather not do this again and that you’d like me to leave now?” He opened his mouth, but she continued before he could speak. “If that’s the case, that’s fine…but you’re going to need to get off me so I can get my clothes on.”

He couldn’t tell what she was thinking. Or whether or not she was upset. He sighed. “That’s just it. I do want to do this, again. I don’t want you to leave. But I’m shit at relationships.”

There was a long pause, but she finally said, “And more important than being shit at relationships,” she said, “you don’t want a relationship.”

He nodded. “Which makes me feel like an asshole for wanting you to stay.” He stared into her sea-glass-colored eyes. “And wanting to kiss you, again.”

“Do you remember when I said that I wasn’t looking for a relationship, either?”

He nodded.

“Then, it should put your mind at ease to know that despite your wizardry with your hands, and your mouth, and your cock, I’m still not looking for a relationship.”

Rory’s lips quirked.

“I’m not going to get clingy,” she continued. “Or start demanding things you don’t feel comfortable giving. If it gets to be too much, we can always just walk away and go back to how things were before. No harm, no foul.”

“You don’t think that would be awkward.”

She shrugged. “It probably would be. For a while. But we’re both adults. I’m sure we’d get past it.
