Chapter 16

Having finished his story, Derek sat back in his chair and took a long drink from his glass. He still appeared to be as content and happy as ever.

Julia’s mind, on the other hand, rioted with emotions. Her mind wound its way back to the moment on her doorstep when Scott spun her around in his arms so he could kiss her for the first time. His guttural growl echoed in her ears. My turn.

She remembered the heated way her body had reacted to him then, the way she continued to react to his presence and his touch and the smiles that weren’t so rare anymore. She couldn’t say she was in love with him. Not yet, anyway. But something about him pulled at her. He was the flame to her moth. Luminous, beautiful, but difficult to touch. She found herself wanting to bite his shoulder, tickle him until he laughed, and wrap him up in warm hugs right before stripping him naked and having her way with him. The combination left her feeling confused and excited in equal measure. She didn’t know how to deal with her feelings for Scott. She was lost, just like Derek said.

Her feelings for Derek, on the other hand, were unmistakable. She’d always believed it would be easy to fall in love with him and it turned out she was right. The friendship and infatuation that had developed over the past year had crossed over into love before she’d realised what was happening. They fit together, complemented each other in ways that sometimes took her by surprise. She could be herself with him and not worry he would judge her or find her wanting. Unlike the turmoil she felt with Scott, loving Derek was easy.

The three of them had only spent a single week together, but in that time she had experienced so much. Her life seemed more open to possibility and boldness than before. Like she could face anything with them by her side. Then she would remember she only had one more week left before all of this was supposed to be over. All of this would be over, her logical brain insisted. Even the best adventures had to come to an end eventually. Still, the thought of saying goodbye to these two gorgeous men made her want to cry.

She took a few deep breaths, trying valiantly to regain her composure.

“How did your family react when you told them about you and Scott?” she asked, hoping a change of topic would help settle her.

“They were great,” Derek said with a smile. “I told my parents first because I knew that would be the hardest part. I was practically shitting myself I was so nervous. I figured they’d be all shocked and horrified. Instead, they were all ‘we could have told you that in eighth grade when you kept making moon eyes at Harry Miles every time we walked into church on Sunday.’”

That made Julia laugh again. Derek had a way of making her laugh often.
