I sit up slightly in bed, using my elbows to support me. I hate myself for what I’m about to say because I would love to invent another step if it meant I got more time with her. But I saw the way Xander’s being with her tonight. If she ever has a chance, it’s now. If I’m not going to be a complete selfish asshole, I won’t steal that away from her.

“There aren’t really any more steps to this. We’ve covered the basics.”

“Oh… I just thought…” she trails off and looks back toward the door.

“And if you want him, you’re losing your shot. Grocery Girl is jealous of you tonight.”

“Jealous of me?”

“You and Xander were flirting pretty hard. You want him, go get him before she takes your spot.”

“I wasn’t flirting. We were just laughing about the game and something he was telling me about.”

“Whatever the case… you should get out there.”

“But I’m not ready.”

Oh. Well fuck. I hadn’t meant to pressure her.

“Oh okay. Well, that’s fine. Wait until you are. You should still probably go out there and make some more jokes or something if you want to cock block her though.” I offer Madison a smile. One I feel like I’m only half capable of.

“No, I mean… I think I’m ready for sex, just not with him.” Her hand is on my thigh a second later, and I realize what she’s asking. It’s more than I can take tonight.

“I can’t be your practice for Xander.”

“Why not? We’ve done the rest.”

“Because it’s your first time. It should be with someone you really want.” I have to be the bigger person here but fuck if it doesn’t hurt to say.

“The rest was my first time too. I mean not the first few things but…” she trails off, and she studies my face.

“We probably shouldn’t have done that either, but I got carried away.”

“Is that what this is?” I see her eyes harden even in the dim light.

“I don’t mean it like that, Madness. Fuck...” I reach for her hand, and she lets me take it. I swipe my thumb over the back of it. “I mean, you’re so fucking smart and beautiful. I’ve never met anyone like you. I feel like an asshole for taking those things. I don’t deserve them. Xander’s a good guy. Selfless. Honest and thoughtful like you. You come from the same world. The two of you… it makes sense. It’s why you like him. He wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.”

“But you would?”

“You make me want things I can’t have.”

“I just want you.”

I barely have time to process her words before she ducks under the bed and climbs on top of me. Her legs straddle my thighs as her hands run under my shirt. She’s everywhere all at once and my body lights like a fucking match under her touch.

I grab her hips and flip her over underneath me, pinning her down to the mattress, and I kiss my way up her throat and nip at her earlobe. She writhes underneath me, spreading her legs and canting her hips to meet mine. My cock is so fucking hard already. The thought of claiming her for myself. Making her mine. Hearing her cry out.

“You don’t want me.” I try to fight it.

“I do.”

“What about Xander?”

“I don’t care about Xander anymore. I want you, Quentin.”

“You care about Xander. You were flirting with him tonight.”

“Because you were flirting withher.”
