Chapter Six
Hailey blinked into the clouded gaze of a satisfied male and couldn’t help sighing. The perfection of tonight would surely end if she told him the truth. Yet how could she lie to the man who made her feel like a real woman? Who stoked a normal, healthy desire that grew stronger with each moment they spent together?
“What can I say? I don’t have the best luck with men.”
He stared, his eyes narrowing, and said nothing.
“It’s me. Despite the blonde hair and the boobs, I’m a wallflower. I’m boring, dull, and quite frankly, until you, I didn’t really like sex. My friends call me a prude, and my coworkers treat me like the invisible woman, unless they’re the creeps who won’t take no for an answer,” she ended with a huff.
“Can’t blame a guy for trying.” He grunted when she tugged at his chest hair.
“It’s one thing if you’re lusting after me and I return the favor, but
another—”
His grin made her realize what she’d said, and she blushed. “I’m attracted to you, obviously. But this is all just a fantasy, a sexual dream come to life.” The thought of stepping outside his apartment and ending it made her want to cry. “I’m not perfect, and you can’t possibly be this great, and tomorrow, this will all be a memory.”
“But a pleasant one. And if you think telling me you don’t jump every guy who wants you is a turn-off, think again.”
She blinked. “Ah, maybe you don’t hear what I’m saying. This—you and me—this isn’t real. I have a lot of sexual hang-ups. And the real Hailey Jennison doesn’t go to bed with a hot guy, a stranger.”
Would he even believe that, considering they’d had sex against his living room wall a day after meeting face to face? Her cheeks were on fire, and she struggled to put her thoughts into words.
“Hailey, relax.” His grin broadened, and the sparkle in his eyes made her want to melt. Such satisfaction and approval, and all directed at her. “I know this isn’t typical for you. I did some research before we met, and what I learned made me want to know more.”
“What did you learn?”
“That you turned down the jerk in 204B, who is a complete ass when it comes to women.”
Tell me about it. She cringed inwardly, remembering his crude comments.
“And you refused the guy in 313C because he has a girlfriend.”
“How did you know that?”
He cleared his throat. “I, ah, might have overheard you.”
“What?”
“I was eavesdropping around the corner from your unit when he dropped by. You think you have problems with the opposite sex?” He groaned and rubbed his eyes. “I suck when it comes to women, and I don’t mean in a good way. I work hard, and I enjoy working out. I know I have a good body, one that seems to attract the ladies. But when it comes to talking, to forming relationships...” his voice stumbled over the R-word, “I always seem to trip myself up, saying the wrong things, alienating my dates without trying.
