“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” He grasps the back of my ponytail and pulls my head back, arching my neck to the side, his breath feathering against my skin.
“I think you know exactly what you’re doing. You get a free pass today since it’s your birthday, but your punishment is coming.”
“Promises, promises.”
Boston let’s go of my hair, and I look up to see Laughn and Case have turned to face us.
“Happy birthday,” Case says, jumping down from the chair. “Brennan gave me an ETA and they will be home in about half an hour.”
“This is, wow. I’m actually speechless.”
“That’s a first,” Kai says with a laugh. “I’m going to get out of these clothes and shower.”
He places a kiss on my cheek and leaves.
“I think I might go and shower too. I'll be back soon.”
I move past Boston and down the hall into the kitchen. Davis is closing the refrigerator and turns to look at me. We really haven’t spoken since he’s come back from the dead.
“Can we talk?” I ask him. I still feel terrible for ditching him after we had sex and it was his first time, so that makes it even worse.
“About?”
“Just follow me, I need to ditch the bag in my room.”
He doesn’t argue, even though I expected him to. He just follows me up to my room. I dump my bag on the floor and kick off my shoes. Davis stands awkwardly in the centre of the room. I smile, closing the distance between us. I take his hands in mine and look up at him. “I’m sorry.”
“What for?”
“Leaving after we had sex, I didn’t realise…”
He closes his eyes. “I should have said something but I was embarrassed. How do you tell someone that you’re an eighteen year old virgin, who saved himself even after the girl he loved died, that no one ever compared to her.”
“I’m glad you waited for me,” I say, dropping his hands and wrapping my arms around his waist. “Even if you were not sure if I was her.”
“I think deep down I knew. When I locked myself in the bathroom, I was mad at myself for not waiting until we knew for certain. I felt like I betrayed you. I know some of the guys didn’t wait and I get why, but everytime a girl touched me it made my insides crawl, like tiny bugs were eating away at me. I was made for you, to love you and my head couldn’t move past that.”
Someone knocks at the door and Marlow pops his head in. “Can I come in?”
I nod and he pushes the door open more, then comes into my room.
“How many girls have you slept with?” I ask, turning my attention to Marlow. He stills and locks eyes with me, unsure how he should answer the question.
“Why? That dickhead told you he was a virgin, didn’t he?”
“Don’t avoid the question Marlow.”
He sighs. “Fine, two not including you. One a few months after you died, I needed to forget, the pain was too much. It was a horrible experience.”
“You were thirteen,” I gasp.
“I know, the other was when I was sixteen, I thought I would try again. I started questioning if maybe I was gay. I didn’t mind blow jobs, I could close my eyes for those.”
I snort. “Okay enough sex talk, I need to shower. Did you need something before I did? I never asked why you came up here.”
“No, I came for Davis. We're making you dinner and while we have watched numerousYoutubevideos, they say we should put it on a few hours before we want to eat.”
“I better not die today, Kai made the cake and you two making dinner.”
