“That sucks.” It probably didn’t help that Kolson introduced his girlfriend the minute he walked in the door.
Tanner grunted, grabbed a drink from the fridge, then stalked away.
Mom looked at Kolson and shrugged.
“Talk about shitty timing.” Kolson hadn’t met Tanner’s girlfriend but knew that didn’t mean Tanner hadn’t really cared for her.
“He was going to bring her for dinner tonight since you brought Autumn.”
He heard Autumn clear her throat. Kolson turned to see her in a pair of plaid pajama shorts and a t-shirt. “Your rooms free.”
Kolson’s eyes went to her bare legs. Her feet shifted and she tugged on the hem of her shirt. Kolson definitely needed to take a long shower before bed tonight.
Ever since he saw her standing there in those shorts, Kolson had been thinking about being in this bed with her even though the thoughts he had were not thoughts he could act on.
Kolson slid under the covers.
“Your bed’s so comfy.” She moaned. That did not help the thoughts he shouldn’t be having. Kolson put his arms around her and pulled her tight. She was soft and warm. She smelled like lemons. He could sleep like this every night, yet he had no clue how he was going to get to sleep at the same time.
“You’re comfy.” He smiled against her mouth.
“Definitely beats the dorm bed.” They’d only made out in it a couple times. Never slept in it. “I like your mom.”
“That’s good, because she likes you. And I don’t know what I would’ve done if she didn’t because I want to keep you.”
Autumn giggled, her chest vibrated against his. “I don’t know if I want to keep you yet.”
“Oh?” He lifted a brow. “What can I do to convince you?”
She tilted her head. Her smirk barely visible in the dim light peeking through his blinds. “I don’t know, maybe borrow your brother’s trombone and play me a song outside of my bedroom window during a golden sunset.”
“That’s awfully specific.”
She giggled again. “I’m not easily persuaded.”
“Yet here you are. In my bedroom.” He ran his hand up and down her back, his fingers slightly lifting the back of her shirt when he did. She arched into him. He should quit torturing himself.
“Kolson?” Her voice was breathy when it came out, making it even worse. He’d definitely be taking a shower once she fell asleep.
“Yeah?” His heart beat fast.
“I know I want to take it slow, but I wouldn’t mind if we did some stuff.”
“Stuff?” He lifted an eyebrow while other parts of him jumped at the thought.
Her hands were in his hair twisting the tips where he needed a haircut.
“Like, I don’t think … I don’t want to have sex yet.”
“I told you I won’t pressure you.”
“We could do more than kiss. I would be okay with that.”
“Seriously?” He tried to keep from sounding overly excited. He didn’t want her to do anything she didn’t want.
“Yeah.”
“I want you to be absolutely sure. Because that isn’t why I brought you here,” he said.
