I clenched my teeth. “I havenodesire to fuck around with anyone else. But that doesn’t mean we all have to—” I snapped my fingers, “—be in a committed relationship like that.”
Grace turned to me with hurt in her eyes. “Is he right, Sam? You want to… to avoid being committed so you can keep your options open?”
“No!” I said. I took her tiny hand in mine. “No, Grace, nothing I’ve ever had in the past… nothing comescloseto what I’ve felt… what Ifeel…with you.”
She looked into my eyes, and again, I saw that wall behind them.
She didn’t trust.
She couldn’t.
I turned and glared at Noah. “Now you’ve done it.”
“Done what?”
“You pushed it too soon.”
“Pushed what?”
“Defining things!”
“This will keep things neat,” Noah said. “I know you’re a go-with-the-flow type of person, but that’s not going to work here.”
“Why not?”
“Because of what we just did. Thingswillget messy.”
“Oh, so you’re pressuring us to answer for your shame.That’swhat this is about—”
“No, I don’t care about that,” Noah said, slow and controlled. “Are you two even an item? Like, officially?”
Grace spoke up. “No.”
My heart sank.
Grace looked at me apologetically. “Sorry… I just… I need some more time. I just got out of a long-term relationship, remember?” She fidgeted with her fingers and looked down. “I thought we were just having fun. And I liked that.”
Noah eyed Grace. “I can tell you’re reluctant to label this, and I want to be clear, I’m not asking for that.”
I rolled my eyes. “Here we go…”
“I’m saying I liked what we just did. I liked it alot.Honestly, I’ve been fantasizing about that for a few weeks.”
Grace’s jaw dropped. “Wait… what?”
“I could hear you two fucking.” Noah ran his hand through his damp hair. “Through the walls.”
Grace’s cheeks pinked and she pulled the duvet higher.
I smirked at Noah.
I figured he could hear whenever Grace and I fucked. At the time, the thought of an eavesdropper had turned me on even more.
And the thought of fucking her… a girl I knew Noah liked, while he couldn’t do anything about it…
That made a dark, sexual, competitive little demon in my mind feel very,verysatisfied.
I wasn’t proud of it.
