CHAPTER 7
Scott
âThat was â¦â Harper gasps as she clings to me.
I pull out slowly then sit up to stare at the goddess below me. I refuse to let the moment end, but Iâm spent. With her body pressed against mine, I wish more than anything I could hold on to the calmness for as long as possible.
âThank you,â she whispers, as if I did her a favor. The truth of the matter is that she did me the favor.
I canât help but smile at her as she rakes her fingernails along my scalp, causing goosebumps to rise all over me.
âI should be the one thanking you,â I say, falling from the couch. My legs tremble under my weight as I try to collect my clothes off the floor.
âOh gosh, I canât believe we did that. Iâm not that kind of girl, and I donât know if youâre hoping this is going to go somewhere, but it canât. And what will my brother say if he finds out? He canât find out about this.â
âTrust me when I say I know,â I mumble as guilt and regret slap me like a spiked glove to the face.
âBut it was fun. I havenât done that in so long,â she says, running her fingers through her hair.
I watch her face shift from elated to stressed. It dawns on me that sheâs telling the truth.
âHow long has it been? For you, I mean?â I dare ask.
She pulls in a deep breath and purses her lips into a tight line. âI donât know ⦠a while.â
âYou donât have to lie. It wonât bother me,â I say as I feel pressure in my chest. For some reason, thereâs a need deep within me to know all I can about her.
âYears, all right?â she says, cupping her hands to her face. Thereâs shame in her eyes and, for a second, I wonder if sheâs about to cry.
âSeriously?â Her answer surprises me. In my head, I could see maybe a month tops. But years?
âI havenât been with anyone since Bethâs father,â she confesses. âHe left us when Beth was two. Sheâs nine now. And I just havenât had the time, you know? For anything but her and my place.â
My mouth drops as I look at her. This beautiful, funny woman canât be serious. Yet, she is. Her eyes reveal all her struggles, and I wish I could relieve some of the angst growing in them.
âIf it makes you feel any better, I have you topped,â I say, trying to make her smile.
âReally? I doubt that. You probably have girls lining up and down the block to be with you.â
âWell, if I do, I havenât realized it. My job keeps me busy, and Iâm trying to get into med school. It seems like every time I try to have a relationship, the girl gets irritated because I get called away. It got to the point where it was easier just to not be in a relationship than to be in one.â
âArenât we a pitiful pair?â She chuckles as she slips off the couch.
