Chapter Three
Staying Cool
“I should go.”
“Why?”
“The blackout’s over, I can...I don’t know. I just feel like I should go.”
He considers me for a second before asking, “Do you want to go?”
I don’t have a response, so I shrug, always unsure of what it is I really want. If I stay, what does that say about me? Does it mean I want him? Does it mean I want more sex? Does it mean this is more than an evening of fantasies fulfilled on a hot summer night?
Luckily, he doesn’t wait for me to answer.
“You don’t have A/C in your place, why don’t you stay here? It’s still crazy hot out. You should bring your cats over so they can sit in the chilled air too.”
My stomach flips.
“You don’t mean that.”
He laughs. “Yeah I do.”
“They’ll get cat fur everywhere.”
“Better that than the little monsters overheating. C’mon, I’ll help bring them over.”
Without another word we dress—he gives me a pair of shorts and an oversized t-shirt to slip on—and we bring the cats over, locking them in his bedroom with some food and one of the litter boxes. His room is still warm—and probably smells of sex, poor things—but considerably cooler than any spot in my apartment. They meow quizzically at me as I close the door, affronted at being locked away.
“I’m just as confused as you guys are.”
I find him in the kitchen, a light pair of shorts all that’s keeping me from delicious full Ben nakedness.
“You hungry?” He tugs a bag of chips from the cupboard. “How about a snack?”
Not knowing what he expects from me the rest of night, I’m at a loss for words, my kryptonite taking over. “Sure.”
He glances up curiously but keeps talking. “Should we watch a movie? Maybe the new horror film that’s streaming? It would be extremely apropos if the lights went off again at a really tense moment.”
“One can only wish for that kind of movie magic ambiance.” I can’t look at his bare chest a moment longer, the taut lines of his abs begging me to touch and taste. The sheer beauty of him steals my words, makes me think how inadequate I am when next to him. Instead I focus on a string hanging off the borrowed shirt, try to tug it off.
“Maybe we can watch a Vikings episode, gotta love some pillaging and conquering.”
“That one’s good too.” I can’t get the string off, so I wrap it around my finger and tug harder.
“There’s actually a new documentary about bestiality I’m super interested in.”
“Yeah, that sounds great.” I look up at him, horrified, hearing the words. “Wait, what?”
He’s leaning against the counter, arms crossed, causing them to flex and grow. How are his muscles that big? No wonder he likes Vikings. He is a Viking. A modern day, intelligent, sexy Viking who eats pussy like it’s his job.
“Am I more interesting than that string now?”
I punch his shoulder lightly, chuckling despite myself. “Sorry, I was distracted.”
“I understand, strings are the height of shiny distractions, especially when talking to the man you just fucked into next week.
