He leaned in, his mouth nuzzling my neck. “I’d already decided after your call that I was going by to see you that night. And what I’m trying to say without coming across like a complete asshole is: any time I entertained the idea of someone else, I thought about you and couldn’t. If you wondered where I came up with those words, they’re what I’ve been feeling. I can’t stop thinking about you even when it’s been damn inconvenient.”

“Gosh, and here I’ve always wished to be the girl who was convenient for someone.”

“It’s a good thing your smart mouth is such a turn-on.” His lips met mine, before moving behind my ear and peppering kisses down my throat.

“It’s a good thing your TMI is kind of endearing, too, especially when you turn pink because you get embarrassed.”

He returned to my mouth, deepening the kiss, and then pulling away reluctantly. “We haven’t had our first date yet, which means you need to keep it in your pants.”

“What?”

“I want to do things the way they should’ve been done, which means I’m taking you out on a real first date. Then a second one and so forth. You can teach me the physical parameters along the way.”

Although there was a slight feeling of disappointment that he didn’t wish to bend me over his desk right now, it was greatly overshadowed with emotion over him wanting to do this for me. “Do you have a timetable for these dates?”

“You want a marathon session?”

I picked up on the double entendre. “You’re leaving that one wide open, aren’t you?”

He grinned, and then his face turned serious. “I’m bound to screw up some things along the way when it comes to relationship protocol, but if you can give me a learning curve and promise that whack-a-mole mallet doesn’t hurt too badly, I want to try.”

I lay my hand aside his face, sensing the vulnerability and hope in his statement. “I’m likely to mess up, too, but I can’t think of anyone I’d rather do it with than you.”

“I’m sorry about last night and the way I left. I overreacted and shouldn’t have said the things I did.”

“Yeah, well, you wouldn’t have responded that way if I’d told you.”

“Maybe, but the irony is that if you’d told me, nothing might’ve happened.”

We both processed that thought, knowing he was probably right.

“Lay it out for me. Second, third, fourth dates—mean what?”

I rolled my eyes. “You make it sound as though I went into it with a game plan like: look, it’s our third date, so I’m gonna need you to dry hump me. There were a lot of factors involved, such as how long I’d known them, comfort level, et cetera.”

“So, you’re saying we should define it as we go?”

I ran my hands down his back, inhaling his scent. “Mm-hmm.”

“Still not happening tonight, sweets.”

“It’s like you can read my mind,” I mumbled.

He chuckled. “I think, after last night, it might be a good idea to wait at least a couple of days anyhow, so you can feel a little less sore.”

“What? Did you google what to do after a virgin’s first time?”

His face turned a deep crimson. Colby blushing was about the most adorable thing ever.

“You did?”

“Your first time should’ve been something special. I wasn’t exactly gentle with you, and as said, I’ve never been someone’s first time before.”

“Um, you gave me three orgasms which I’d say is pretty freaking special. And I didn’t exactly want it gentle if I’m being honest.”

His eyes darkened with desire. “Fair enough, but do me a favor and humor me with the five dates, okay?”

I nodded feeling as though this request may have more to do with him than with me. “All right. But it’s like a reverse Jedi mind trick which has me wanting to hop on you right now.”
