~ CHAPTER 25 ~

LOU

I didn’t know what to say. From the moment I first saw Finn, I’d stereotyped him. I saw this big, muscular, sexy, good-looking guy. With his tattoos. And his confidence. And because of all that, I thought he was a certain type of way with women. I thought he dated a lot and slept around a lot. He even told me that himself. That his relationships never lasted more than two weeks. That he got bored. So why was there pain on his face? Why did he care at all what I told him?

I stood from the bed. I pressed two fingers into his chest. “I want you to treat me like anyone else. Like I’m not broken. The last girl you dated… The most recent one before me. Tell me about her. Tell me how that went.”

“She was a yoga instructor.” He breathed out through his nose, glaring down at me.

“And?”

“And what do you want me to say? That we fucked a lot, Lou,” he growled. “That we did it all the time, Lou. That I made her come, you know, every single time we were together, Lou. That it was pretty great. Is that what you want to hear? That it was pretty great until I decided it wasn’t. Until I got bored and backed away.”

My heart pounded. He thought I was so innocent, that talking to me in that sort of way would scare me, but he didn’t know how jaded I really was. How much I’d actually been through. And that his words couldn’t scare me.

“I want you to treat me like that,” I admitted. “With none of your reservations.”

He didn’t immediately answer.

He rubbed a hand over his face, eying me, taking a step back.

“I could handle it,” I told him.

“Bullshit.”

“Seriously.” I met his eyes without flinching. “Try me.”

His chest rose and fell.

“Can you handle this? If I make you orgasm. Then I get a question. An answer to a question. No half answers. No shoulder shrugs. But a real question with a real answer.”

My whole body started burning. I shrugged like that wasn’t the most intimidating thing anyone had ever said to me. “Fine.”

“Fine,” he repeated.

“Fine,” I said louder.

“Fine. Dammit. I’ll be back tomorrow.” His voice was off. “I need a night to think on this. To drink on this. Fuck.” Then he stepped away. “You’re getting to me, Lou. Two more days.” Then he was gone, and it was just me alone in my room.

Two more days?

So we were still set on our original two weeks?

With the way Finn seemed to want to get to know me, for a moment, I had the impression that he might be interested in more than two weeks. Now I was more confused than ever. But either way, I wanted this. Pretty desperately. I wanted to know what other women my age knew. I wanted the adventure. It was pretty hard to find adventure when you were stuck inside every single day of your life. Finn was my opportunity for adventure.
