I twirled on my heels. My stomach was in knots. “Thanks.”
He hobbled toward me on his crutches, cupping my breasts with his hands. “And your boobs look incredible in this shirt.”
I sighed. They liked being touched like this. I let a whimper slip.
His eyes widened. “Can we be late?”
I shook my head. “I wish, but Mary Ellen is excited about her first Texas night. She’s single and looking for a cowboy.”
He laughed. “Then you’ll have to wait.”
“Wait for what?” I asked.
He slipped his hand under my shirt, working it under my bra. I gasped.
“Until I make you come.” He winked and backed up on his crutches. He moved toward the bathroom.

“I left my jeans in the closet. Could you bring them to me?”
I moved off the bed and walked to the closet. All his jeans looked the same to me, so I grabbed a pair.

“Sure is. Mary Ellen, meet Hank, best bartender on the island. Hank, meet Mary Ellen, the best roommate a girl could have.”
