âI really should get home,â Oaklynn said.
Draped completely naked and utterly limp over my chest as she recovered from our last round together, she sighed contentedly and lifted her head to look up at me. âI have homework I need to get done before tomorrow.â
My arm on her hip tightened, and I pulled her snugger against me, even as I nodded and said, âOkay. I guess I do too.â Though, Iâd gladly put it off for another hour or twoâor tenâto get more time with her.
Smiling over my contradicting reactions, she leaned in to kiss my chin. âI had fun, though. Thank you for last nightâ¦and half of today.â
âThank you,â I returned, sitting up when she did. âI enjoyed it too.â With a shrug, I added, âAll except for that moment when you thought I was a sadistic murderer who kept pictures of my bloody, mutilated victims in the chest at the end of my bed.â
âOh my God! I did not think you were a murderer,â she screeched in defense, whacking me with a pillow before she found her bra and started to slip it on.
I tilted my head and lifted an eyebrow, sending her a disbelieving glance.
She positioned the bra into place and then gave in as she met my glance. Shoulders slumping, she confessed. âOkay, fine. For, like, half a second, I contemplated the idea that maybe you might be dangerous.â
When I flat-out laughed over her admission, she threw up her hands helplessly and cried, âIâm sorry!â
I lifted a hand and shook it in forgiveness. âNo, no,â I assured. âItâs okay.â Iâd rather she be paranoid than in true danger. As she pulled up her panties, I reached out to gently touch her hip. When she looked up in surprise, I peered back beseechingly. âPromise me youâll always stay safe like that.â
âI will,â she murmured, gazing back and lifting her hand to cup my face. âBut damn⦠This death really affected you, didnât it?â
I swallowed thickly. âQuite a bit, yeah. But I got help to deal with it. Iâm okay now.â
âGood.â With a soft smile, she leaned over to press a compassionate kiss on my forehead. âI seriously canât believe Jaylani tried to convince me you were full of red flags. Youâre nothing but a big marshmallow.â
I sat up straight, kind of hurt by that revelation.
As she turned to find her shorts and shirt in the mess of clothes, candy, and condom wrappers on the floor, I said, âShe thought I was full of red flags? Why?â
âOh, you knowâ¦â Oaklynn gave an offhand shrug with her back to me as she bent to pick up her shorts. She waited until she was shimmying them on before glancing over. âFrom the whole way we met with you bursting into the apartment and claiming you were my landlord and everything. She thought I shouldâve gotten some identification to prove you were really who you said you were before just believing you.â
As she talked, she found her tank top and slipped it on as well, so I decided to put my shorts on too.
