I looked over at her amused expression. “You think I’m funny?”
“Not funny exactly. I enjoy opening you up to other ideas and experiences.”
“Experiencing them with you makes me feel good.” I looked away from her, turning my attention to the road because I felt vulnerable. Like I’d revealed too much.
“You haven’t felt enough good in your life?” Her voice was soft.
I thought back to high school, growing up in a middle-class, normal family with plenty of food and money for whatever sport I wanted to play. My parents supported me in dropping out of college to enlist. I had support and love, but was I happy?
I wasn’t a good friend in college. My best friend, Austin, partied hard, and I looked the other way, thinking it was normal college behavior until it was too late. I wasn’t there for him, and that’s why I dropped out. I felt like I needed to do penance for that. I definitely hadn’t been happy in a long time. I’d just been getting through my life.
She reached over, her citrus scent washing over me. Then she touched my thigh, and my body tensed. “Stick with me. You’ll have a good time.”
“That’s what I’m counting on.” I covered her hand with mine for a brief second before she pulled away.
Had she felt how tense my muscles were under her palm? Did she notice how my cock was hard under my zipper?
I wanted to have a good time with her. I just hoped I wasn’t betraying Delilah by getting involved with her sister or coming between them.
The pain of letting someone down was fresh. And maybe that was why there was no one who counted on me, not outside my job anyway. I’d purposely kept myself separate from friends and coworkers. If no one needed me, I couldn’t fail them.
This thing with Remi was about helping each other, but I needed her more than she needed me. She had her life together. She didn’t need my protection. With her, I could be different.
