Chapter 16—Allure

Six times.

We had sex six times between last night and this morning.

Being with a nineteen-year-old had its perks.

I had to practically hose Ethan down to get myself out of his bedroom so I could start getting ready to head back to my place. He asked me to move in with him—or to at least think about it—when we were eating breakfast and again when I was trying to leave. I had refused to answer him.

Would it be so bad?

“Tell me more about yourself,” Ethan said. He sat down on the bean bag chair and patted his thighs with his hands, encouraging me to sit. “I want to know everything.”

“Like what?” I asked as I settled down in his lap.

“Well, I know who your father is,” he said, “but I don’t know anything about your mom.”

“I don’t know much about her either,” I said with a short laugh. “She was never in my life much, not since I was very young. She and Dad split up when I was three. She had a huge inheritance from her mother, and she basically uses that to travel around the world, following whatever floats her boat at the moment. I think she’s in Greece right now, but I’m not sure.”

“Do you ever talk to her?”

“Not much.” I shrugged. “She usually calls around my birthday. She’s either a day early or a day late, depending on what part of the world she is in. We talk for a few minutes about whatever she’s been doing and what she’s been seeing. She doesn’t really ask about me. Last year she was surprised to learn I was getting a master’s degree.”

“I’m sorry,” Ethan said. He hugged me against him. “That has to be hard for you.”

“Not really. It’s hard to miss something you’ve never had. Dad’s second wife lasted all of six months, and I barely remember her. He was more careful about Vanessa.”

“That’s your stepmom, right?

“Yes. She’s pretty good for him, and at least she was around for all the girly stuff when I was a teenager.”

I snickered and then covered my mouth, remembering that Ethan was still a teen himself.

“So, you like her?”

“She’s very strict and very socially conscious, but she’s always been kind to me. Dad dotes on her, which she adores.”

“Does she work at your dad’s company too?”

“No.” I shook my head. “She does a lot of volunteer stuff and hosts a lot of social events, but she’s never had a traditional job. Before she married my dad, she trained horses at her family ranch. I suppose that counts as a job.”

“Horses are cool,” Ethan said. “Did you ever ride them?”

“She took me there a few times when I was younger. I find horses rather intimidating though it was fun to ride. I just didn’t like riding fast.”

“No sense of adventure?” Ethan grinned at me.

“I don’t know about that, but they’re so big!”

“I thought you rather liked big.” Ethan threw his head back and laughed loudly.

“That’s not the same!” I slapped his shoulder playfully.
