~ CHAPTER 29 ~

EMMA

“You know, technically…” I pointed out to Caleb. “We’ve already kissed.”

I loved playing this game with him. Not only had it helped me forget everything shitty in life for the moment, it was giving me the excuse to learn more about him. My heart swelled knowing he’d come to stay in North Carolina for me. Now I just needed to determine if Nick had been right or wrong. Was Caleb only pursuing me because he liked the challenge? And wanted my virginity? It didn’t feel that way, but how was I supposed to know for sure?

“That wasn’t a kiss,” he said.

“I’m pretty sure it was.”

“It wasn’t.”

“I think a dictionary would define a kiss as two people’s lips touching.” I tried to stand to inch my phone from my pocket. I wanted to Google it to prove him wrong. But I wobbled a bit more than expected, so I sat back down on the barstool.

He caught my wrist. “I don’t care what the dictionary says. Emma, trust me, that wasn’t a kiss.” His eyes were adamant. “You’ll know when I kiss you. I promise.”

He took a long breath and pointed at the remaining shot of bourbon sitting beside us. “You have one more question.”

Right. I picked up the last shot and drank it. I guess that brought my total to three. “What’s your last question for me?”

“Um…that was mine,” Caleb said.

I laughed, thinking he’d lost track. But then quickly realized I’d lost track. I’d drunk his, which meant I was at four. Great. Just perfect. I didn’t want to turn into a complete mess in front of him. I already felt buzzed. If I vomited, I’d be mortified. If I admitted to anything else more personal, I’d be mortified. My freckles—they were small peanuts compared to some of the bigger secrets I kept locked away.

“I shouldn’t have drank that,” I said in all seriousness. “This might not end well.”

“I’ll take care of you if it doesn’t. Do you want your last question? Or do you want to be finished with this game?” He still had his hand on my arm, steadying me.

Hell yes, I wanted one more question.

“How many girls have you been with?” I blurted out. It was probably the most impolite question I could have asked. Sober me never would have. But I wanted to know how great his experience was in comparison to my lack thereof. Was it something we were both thinking about? Or just me?

His face was expressionless as he answered, “I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? You lost track?”

“Yeah.”

I swallowed. “Ballpark? Single digits. Double? Triple?”

He sat back and brushed his hands through his hair. “Somewhere in the double digits…I hope.”

I guess, after all, he was Caleb Mills—Rock God. I’d forgotten for a moment, thinking of him just as Caleb. Each time he smiled at me, it always felt like it was just for me. Maybe it never had been. Maybe it never would be. If I slept with him,
