Chapter 13

Amber

The words hung there between us and seemed to echo in my mind.

I’m a virgin. I’m a virgin. I’m a virgin.

And still Bam didn’t say anything.

Peeking between my fingers, I found him staring at me with his mouth open and eyes wide in shock. After a beat he closed his mouth and gave a soft laugh. “Very funny. So really, what is it? Do you have a bum knee or something? Maybe an extra toe?”

I pushed up until I was sitting up and glared at him. “You’d prefer I have an extra toe to me being a virgin? Seriously?”

“Wait, you’re serious? Fuck me. Do you have any idea what this means?” Bam closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath. The only word I could make out was ass.

Good. At least he could see that he was behaving like one.

“Yes, it means that I haven’t had sex with anyone before. Why, is that a deal breaker for you? You’d rather I’d been with tons and tons of guys? Well, I’m sorry. It’s not like I’ve had the chance, ya know. I had my dad breathing down my neck all through high school. He had all the guys in my class petrified to even come near me. And then I was too busy working to meet anyone worth my time. The few guys I did meet were tools. But believe me, had I known that this was the way you were going to react, I would’ve slept with that skeevy guy who hit on me at work last week and solved the problem of my stupid, pesky virginity.” I shook my head when Bam didn’t say anything. With a sigh, I pushed myself off the bed and stood in front of him. “You know what? This was a mistake. I’m just gonna go.”

“Kitten, don’t.” Bam grabbed my arm before I could take two steps. “I’m sorry, okay? It’s just…You have no idea the pressure this puts on me. It was already going to be a big deal for the two of us to be together. But this?” Bam shook his head as he muttered to himself. “The guys aren’t ever gonna let me live this down.”

Only this time I was close enough to make out his words. I pushed him away. “You’re gonna tell the guys? Are you fucking serious? Now I really am leaving.”

“You mean they don’t know?”

“Why would they know? Are you high? Because that’s the only explanation I can come up with to explain this whole conversation.”

“You’re Stitch’s little baby girl. They’ve watched over you your entire life. You do realize that I’m gonna get my ass handed to me by most—if not all—of the club once I claim you, right? You being a virgin is like the cherry on top of the ass-kicking cake.”

My heart stuttered in my chest. They were going to jump him? Because of me? “W-w-why? Why would they do that?”

“Because you’re Stitch’s little baby girl. And according to Tank and Axle and Reb and I’m sure a whole bunch of others, you’re too good to waste on a punk like me.
