Chapter Nine

Zelda

“Hey, Zelda, are you coming with us tonight?” Quinn stuck her head into my room. “Gia and I are just about ready to leave.”

I turned around from my desk, frowning as I glanced at Quinn. “I haven’t decided yet. I want to hang with you guys, but . . .” I chewed the corner of my lip. The truth was that I couldn’t really tell Quinn why I wasn’t completely on-board with going out for pizza with the girls, Nate and Eli. I wasn’t even comfortable admitting it to myself.

In the four months since our first night together, Eli had stuck to his part of the bargain with admiral fortitude. He hadn’t breathed a word about us having sex to Nate, I was positive; Quinn and Gia didn’t seem to be any the wiser about us hooking up, either. And when we were all together, which happened with increasing frequency, Eli was friendly and teasing, his normal snarky self, not paying any more attention to me than he did to Gia or Quinn.

For some perverse reason, that bothered me. I’d been the one to insist that it had to be this way. I’d been the one who said we had to keep our casual hook-ups on the downlow. I knew I was being ridiculous, but when we were all out together and some random ‘ho—excuse me, some other woman—came up and began flirting with Eli, I wanted to jump up and scratch out her eyes. I’d never experienced this before. I didn’t know jealousy, and I refused to acknowledge that I was feeling it now.

On the nights when we got together to study, just the two of us . . . well, then, everything was different. When we were alone, Eli didn’t make any secret of what he wanted; he touched me frequently, flirted shamelessly and somehow coerced me into revealing things about myself that I never shared with anyone else. I wasn’t sure how he did it. There was something about the way he listened and how he responded that made the man supremely easy to talk to, and apparently, I was putty in his hands.

The sex . . . well, it was like nothing I’d ever experienced before, and that, my friends, is saying something. I thought I’d done it all—or just about. During my years of experimentation and fun, I’d had threesomes and tried things that were more than mildly kinky. But sex with Eli was on another level altogether. I knew he’d worried at first that his lack of mobility meant I was compromising. He was totally wrong.

The other annoying part about the past few months had been that I had a growing suspicion—or perhaps more accurately, horror—that he was ruining me for other men. I’d had opportunities to hook up with guys. I’d gone to parties. I’d been propositioned in class and while walking across campus. But when I thought about having sex with these men . . . it just didn’t appeal to me.
