“You’re right back into your old pattern.” I heard the worry in Grace’s voice. “You haven’t even trained in the last three days.”
I didn’t need to train. I had decided that I was going to focus on my exams. There would be other running clinics. Exams trumped…everything.
“How is the sex?” Sadie asked.
“Off the charts.” A rush of heat spread through my body at just the thought of sex with Max, but then it cooled as soon as I remembered how boring it must have been for him.
“There’s a but.” Sadie cocked her head. “I know there’s a but.”
“It was off the charts for me, but I think that…maybe…I don’t know.”
You’re boring. You’re vanilla.
“He spent a lot of time pleasing me.”
“Nothing wrong with that.” Grace wiggled her eyebrows.
“But that meant I didn’t find out what he likes. With so much experience, I think maybe I bored him.”
“Honey…” Grace left her seat on the wingback chair and curled up beside me on the couch, resting her head on my shoulder. “I’m sure you didn’t bore him.”
“Don’t be so sure.” Sadie didn’t pull any punches. She always told it like it was and I admired that. But right now, I wished she were the type of roommate who didn’t speak.
“There’s only one thing to do, then.”
I stared at Sadie in awe. I had no idea how she could fix this.
“You need to please him.”
Easier said than done. Plus, he needed to show his face in order for me to please him.
“How do I do that?”
“By giving him the opportunity to sample a little of everything.” She wiggled her eyebrows. “You’ll know when you get started what he likes.”
“But…”
Sadie waved me off. “I think it’s time for a trip to the sex store.”
I tensed. “Oh, no. I’m not—”
“Maybe she’s right.” Grace looked up, guilt staring back at me.
“How do you expect to keep a man like Max Levin if he’s not satisfied in the bedroom?” Sadie eyed me with her arms crossed. She was getting too serious, and a little intimidating.
It wasn’t about keeping him. I knew I couldn’t have him permanently. I had walked into this with my eyes wide open. He had given me so much. He’d bent over backward to help me check items off my bucket list. And what had I given him in return?
You said it yourself, you want to be sexy.
I’d spent my entire life trying to prove myself for someone else’s benefit. Maybe it was high time I proved something to myself.
“Where’s the closest sex store?”
Sadie jumped up from the coffee table with a whoop.
I was going to give Max Levin a night he’d never forget. I wasn’t just a student. I wasn’t just my parents’ daughter. I was Everly Parker, woman, and it was high time I believed it.
