Chapter Thirteen
Rory
Well, shit!
In the grand scheme of things, it made no difference that Adrian was a virgin. None at all. Except it made a world of difference when my intention was to drag him into my bedroom and fuck him good and hard just to break the surface tension that had been growing between us for weeks. Only after the heat was moderately simmered did I plan on having the boyfriend talk with him. In my fucked-up mind, that order of operations was acceptable.
That could no longer happen.
“I’m sorry. Oh, God, I shouldn’t have said anything.”
Adrian squirmed from my hold and tried to make a run for it. I caught his arm and pulled him back, realizing too late my reaction had given him the wrong impression.
“Woah, stop.”
He struggled to break free, but I pinned him back against the door, holding his face in my hands.
“Do not be ashamed of that.”
“But you stopped. I’m such an idiot. Just… can I go? Please.”
“No. And you aren’t an idiot. Knock that shit off. You… you’re really a virgin?”
He dropped his gaze as the surface of his eyes glistened in the moonlight coming in from the balcony window. “Yeah, all right. Go ahead and make fun of me. I get it.”
“Shut up.”
I kissed away another protest before it spilled from his lips, doing all I could to show him I wasn’t turned off. It took less than a second for him to melt back against me and return to the heavenly place we’d left only a minute before. Adrian and all his innocence would be the death of me.
When we finally parted, I kept him close. “I stopped because you shocked me. That’s all. I’m not turned off in the least. Believe me. But…” I hesitated, hoping he wouldn’t take my next statement the wrong way. “My plans for the evening did change.”
His brow scrunched as he studied my face, his hands fisting my shirt tighter as though bracing himself for impending doom. “What do you mean?” he asked.
I unpeeled his hands from my shirt and guided him into the living room. We’d always sat on different pieces of furniture, him in my chair and me on the couch, but that time, I pulled him down beside me. He watched with enough weariness, guilt snuck in and kicked me in the balls. I wasn’t the kind of guy who made a proper impression in the bedroom—even though I wanted to with Adrian. It had nothing to do with performance. However, my focus was always on the task and never on the emotions, because if there were emotions, I was doing it wrong.
Krew understood. Adrian wouldn’t.
Nor did I want him to when I thought about it. I wanted to be all those things I’d never thought myself capable of.
There were already more emotions tumbling around inside me than I could explain when it came to him. My “fuck now, figure them out later” approach wasn’t going to work. I wouldn’t be that guy who made someone else’s first time less than memorable.
