CHAPTER TWENTY

Tobias

Skylar’s bra was yellow.

Yellow.

Maybe if it had been blue or even pink, I would have found a scrap of strength. But it wasn’t blue or pink. It was yellow.

YELLOW!

I couldn’t tell if this was a test of my willpower or a sign to rip it off her body. Hell, maybe it was both. Maybe the devil on my left shoulder knew I’d fail and the angel on my right wanted her just as badly as I did.

And I did want her. Badly. I’d never wanted anyone as badly as I wanted her. It was in my blood. Like a drug shot straight into my vein; my desire for her flooded my circulatory system. It fed my thoughts, my actions, my basal wants.

But I’d had sex before. I knew how to do this. Just because she said she wanted it, did she? I didn’t want her to do something she’d regret tomorrow. The devil on my shoulder criticized me, wanted to know what the hell I was thinking stopping her, but the angel knew what mattered most in that moment. Her.

“Don’t be bad for me.”

Her eyes were glorious. Pools of glittering jade. They’d never been prettier. But the moment those words left my mouth, a shadow moved over them. It mattified the glitter. It dulled the shine. Red bloomed in her cheeks, spread to her neck, and continued until it covered her chest and the swell of her breasts. I didn’t even know boobs could blush. Focus.

I hadn’t wanted to break her heart. But that’s what I’d done.

“Skylar.”

“No,” she forced out, grabbing her shirt and plunging it back over her head. She nearly fell over in her effort to get it back on. When I caught her to stop her from falling, she flinched away from me. “Don’t.”

Me stopping tonight and her stopping me from touching her wasn’t the same in my head but clearly it was the same in hers. How could I get her to see that I wasn’t turning her down. I was trying to keep her up. Skylar wasn’t the kind of girl who gave up her virginity in a dingy motel room.

She fumbled to her feet and stumbled into the bathroom, slamming the door.

When she was gone, regret moved in so swiftly I felt nauseous. I sat up and put my shirt back on too. My limbs felt hollow. I didn’t bother standing immediately. Where would I go anyway? I listened intently for her. Whoever was in the room behind us had their TV on. It sounded like Jeopardy was playing. I got up and went over to the bathroom door.

What I heard had my heart crashing into my asshole. “Skylar?” I tried the handle, finding it locked.

She sniffed back what I feared were tears. “I’m almost done.”

I rolled my eyes. “I don’t have to use the bathroom. I want to know you’re okay.”

“Why wouldn’t I be okay?” she asked, her tone cold.

Her question was tricky. I could answer it, but it was the answer itself that had made her throw it back in my face.
