Chapter Eleven

I have no idea how we got from being on the verge of having a serious conversation, to kissing. What I do know is that Carrie’s smart, beautiful, has an absolute bitch for a mother, and is upset. And I, although I’m not exactly at death’s door, am not feeling great, either.

So what harm can taking a little comfort in each other do? An alarm bell rings at the back of my mind, pulling my attention back to the promises I made myself earlier—that I was going to get myself straight before I attempted to win Carrie’s heart—but the sound is abruptly extinguished by my hormones. They’ve been out of action for so long, locked in a cupboard somewhere deep inside in my body, that now they’ve been freed, there’s no stopping them. And, to be quite honest, I just don’t have the strength to fight. Physically, or mentally.

I make a token gesture at decency. Pulling away, I avert my gaze from her swollen lower lip, so plump and tempting, and look into her eyes. “Carrie,” I whisper, cupping her cheek, “are you sure about this? Because once we do it, we can’t take it back. And things are complicated enough, don’t you think?” My heart pounds, hoping like fuck she won’t take my advice and run a mile.

“Yes,” she murmurs, and now my heart skips a beat, cheesy as it sounds, as that word, considering what I just said, doesn’t really answer the multiple questions I asked. “Things are complicated enough. Way too complicated, in fact. But I’ve realized something.”

“What’s that?”

“You’re not the one complicating things for me. In fact, when I’m with you, things are simple. So blindingly simple it’s ridiculous. I want you, Flynn. I want you so badly, it’s driving me crazy. So yeah, if you’re sure about this, then I’m sure. It’s the only thing I’m sure about at the moment!”

I see no point in giving a verbal reply. There’s nothing I can say that will tell her any better than I can show her. So I take a deep breath and pull her to me once more, capturing her mouth with mine, and letting my hands explore her body. It’s hardly the first time we’ve kissed, but it feels different, somehow. Possibly because this time it’s so laden with possibility, with anticipation. Unless something goes wrong—and honestly, considering our rotten luck, I’m not counting out an earthquake or tornado right now—we’re going to have sex. Very soon. God, I hope I haven’t forgotten how to do it.

Shit. The small part of my brain—and it’s really small—that isn’t chanting “sex, sex, sex!” provides some vital information. Or, more accurately, a question.

“Carrie.”

She sighs as I pull away again, and I can’t say I blame her. I’m annoying myself, too. “Before I completely and utterly lose my mind, I thought I should ask… Do you have any condoms?”

She blushes, and it’s so sweet and sexy that I feel I may come in my pants right there and then.
