Instead of responding, I wrapped my lips around his tip. This was one thing I knew I was good at. One thing I could give him.

Axel groaned and his head fell back, knocking another book off the shelf.

I stared up at him as I slowly went all the way down. Well, as far down as I could go.

He cursed under his breath as his fingers tangled in my hair.

I wrapped my hand around him, but realized I was still wearing my 50s inspired gloves. I wanted to feel him. I pulled my gloves off, tucked them into the pockets of the jacket, and put my hand back. I gripped him and moved my hand in sync with my mouth.

“That feels so fucking good, baby.”

I tightened my lips and he groaned again.

“Fuck.”

I looked up at him as I moved faster, up and down.

He came quicker than I expected. But I knew how not to choke. His body shuddered. I kept moving up and down as I swallowed every ounce.

His fingers tightened in my hair once more and then slowly eased. He looked so pleased with me as he stared down at me. His chest rose and fell fast. “Jesus, Scarlett. That was amazing.”

His compliment made me feel a million times better about everything. I slowly pulled back and looked up at him.

Axel ran his thumb beneath my lower lip. “I knew that would feel good but I never expected it to feel that good. You are so naturally amazing at that.”

Naturally amazing? I laughed. “Right. Naturally.” I winked at him.

He lowered his eyebrows. “What does that mean?” He looked genuinely upset by what I’d just said.

My first instinct was to lie and tell him he was right. That I was naturally good at it. But he wasn’t allowed to be upset here. He’d had his dick in half the cheerleading squad. I slowly stood up. Besides, if there’s one thing I’d learned recently, it was to not lie to my boyfriend. I’d learned my lesson about that.

“Seriously, why did you wink?” Axel asked. “You haven’t done that before, have you?”

“Um...” God, why did he look so mad at me? “When the kiss thief said he was going to steal third base, I didn’t know which way he meant. So I asked Jacob if I could practice on him.”

“You gave Jacob a blowjob?”

“I mean...more than one. Several times. He taught me to...”

“I can’t believe this.” Axel pulled up his pants.

“Why are you mad?”

“Because you had your lips around my best friend’s cock, Scarlett!” Axel shook his head and grabbed some of the books that had fallen off the ground. He shoved them back onto the shelf.

I opened my mouth and closed it again.

He slid the last book back in place and slowly turned around. “That was it, right? You didn’t go further? I know you were planning on doing it after that party...”

I shook my head. “No, we didn’t go further. But he went down on me too.”

Axel cursed under his breath. He tried to run his fingers through his hair, but couldn’t because of the gel. “I need a minute.” He turned to walk away.

“Axel.” I caught his arm. “You can’t be upset about this. I’m not mad that you’re not naturally good at going down on me.”

“You didn’t like that?” Now he just looked hurt.

“What? Of course I liked it. I was just saying I know you’ve had lots of practice...”
