“I said I’ll take you home, Mandy.” Jackson’s voice is firm.
And for some odd reason that I don’t understand—and that irks me a little—I want to obey him.
So I do.
Chapter Fourteen
Jackson
We’re silent during the cab ride to Mandy’s place. Once we arrive, I ask the cabbie to wait, and I walk up to her apartment.
“I don’t have long,” I say, “because the cab driver’s waiting.”
“Of course,” she says dully.
“Mandy Cake…”
“Seriously? After what just happened between us, you’re going to revert to Mandy Cake?”
I sigh. “Mandy…this was a huge mistake.”
“You’re telling me,” she says.
“It’s not…what I wanted,” I say.
“Then why did you take me there?”
“I was trying to convince you that…”
“That what?”
She’s really going to make me say it. She’s really going to make me say that I don’t think she should be on Lustr. That these things should happen organically. Tha—
“I’m aging here, Jackson. Just say it.”
I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. The truth? Tonight was amazing. Mandy was amazing. Sure, I didn’t get a chance to see any of her moves—if she even has any; she wants a teacher, after all—but the way she took off her clothes… For a moment, I thought she was going to climb up a stripper pole once she got naked.
“It just can’t happen again,” I say.
Why not?I wait for the words.
They don’t come.
“Fine.”
“Mandy, please don’t be angry.”
“Why should I be angry, Jack? You got on Lustr just to stalk me, you brought me to your sex club, you screwed me in a private room, and now you hardly want to speak to me.”
“It’s not like that. I just wanted to…”
“You wanted to convince me that I shouldn’t be on Lustr. That I shouldn’t be asking someone to teach me. What if that’s whatIwant, Jackson?”
“Not every man out there is like me, Mandy. Not everyone out there is concerned with your safety.”
“I’mconcerned with my safety, Jack. Me. A fully grown woman who’s perfectly capable of taking care of herself.”
“You don’t understand these kind of people. You go on Lustr and ask for someone to teach you? You’re going to get all kinds of creeps.”
