“Pretty much. You’re actually the first woman I’ve had in my apartment—aside from my mom, that is. But she doesn’t count.”

“Thank God.”

She laughs, and the sound is so fucking contagious, it has me laughing, too.

“I can’t believe you’ve never brought anyone back here before.” She pauses and bites her lip. “So…why did you bring me here then?”

Crappers. She’s onto me.

“Because I wanted to.” I shrug.

“Expand,” she says.

And I know I’m not getting out of it.

I blow out a breath. “Because I wanted you here. Better?”

“A little. Why have you not brought anyone else to your apartment before?”

“Because I’ve never liked anyone enough to want them here.”

Her eyes soften. “You like me?”

“Stop fishing for compliments. You know I like you. I’ve just spent the last few days with either my cock, tongue, or fingers inside you, so I’d say, it’s pretty damn obvious by now that I like you.”

She’s smiling. “Well, it’s a good thing I like you as well.”

“You like me?” I point to my chest. “Or him?” I point down to my cock.

Even though I’m, like, ninety-five percent sure it’s me she likes, I still need to hear her say it, and this was the perfect opportunity to ask.

“You’re fishing,” she teases.

“Absolutely, I am.”

She smiles and presses her hand to my chest. “I like you. And him.” She dips her chin south.

I chuckle. “Glad to hear it.” I pull her close. “Because you sure as hell didn’t like me in college.”

She stiffens in my arms, and I figure this is the time to ask another question that’s been bugging me.

“Why was that?”

“Why was what?” she asks against my chest.

I loosen my hold on her and tip her chin up with my hand, bringing her eyes to mine.

They’re shuttered, and I don’t like it. But it doesn’t stop me from asking again.

“Why didn’t you like me in college?”

She sighs and opens her eyes. “Do we really need to go over the past?”

“No. But I would like to know.”

“Look…I guess…I just thought you were a bit of a man-whore. And I incorrectly thought that everything came easily to you. That you didn’t have to work for anything. I know different now.”

“I wish you’d known then.”
