ELLIS:But you don’t.
TESSA:It’s growing on me.
ELLIS:(. . . .) Uh, that wasn’t you sexting right now, was it?
I burst out laughing.
TESSA:ttyl
I slipped my phone back into my purse and stepped into the hallway.
“I liked him.” Jamie was leaning against the hallway wall.
I sighed and shoved a hand through my hair. Would this man ever leave me alone? “No line for the men’s room,” I said pointedly.
“He could read some Virginia Woolf during the sex study,” Jamie said, not fazed at all by my cold shoulder. “That’s what most sex studies are missing: some Virginia Woolf.”
I pushed aside my surprise that Jamie had any clue who Virginia Woolf was and headed back into the pub to my table, Jamie hot on my heels.
“He might cry after you fuck him, though, so I guess just remember to bring a hankie or some—”
“Levi! Hi,” I practically shouted as a lanky guy with a tweed jacket and glasses came up to me.
“She’s a biter,” Jamie said to him before I could shove him inside.
“He’s joking,” I laughed, smiling at Levi. Before I sat down next to Levi, I pointed a finger at Jamie. “Fuck off, you Irish oaf,” I hissed.
He blew me a kiss before sauntering toward the bar, the sound of his laughter trailing after him.
Levi was smart.
Mathias was funny.
Ricardo was hot, like really, really hot.
None of them were lightning.
None of them were noise.
None of them were my rude, Irish neighbor.
None of them were my passionate yoga instructor.
None of them were my very best friend.
None of them made me feel alive and covered in diamond dust the way Cade did.
None of them sparked insatiable lust in me like Jamie.
None of them made me feel both safe and hot-and-bothered, cherished and loved, the way Ellis did.
Noneof them were who I needed.
It suddenly struck me, how lucky and unlucky I was. I had the perfect trifecta of men for my sex study. Cade had already jumped in to the mix for which I was eternally grateful. How awesome would it be if Jamie and Ellis wanted to be a part of it, too?
And how delusional was I to even think that would ever happen?
Jamie
