I hate that she didn’t come. I don’t want to be selfish with her.

“That’s okay, babe,” she whispers. “Make it up to me when we have more time and we’re not at risk of your family walking in on us.”

I chuckle and pull away from her. She sits up and leans back against my headboard as I grab my towel. She sorts out her underwear while I quickly find myself something to wear. It’s still quite early, but it won’t take long for my mom to come check if I’m up yet. Whenever I’m back for a few weeks, she always tries to spend as much time with me as possible, and while I’d usually love that, I really don’t want her walking in right now.

“Looks like you had another one of my firsts today, Minx.”

She looks at me with raised brows, and I smile at her. “I’ve never had sex without a condom before.”

She grins and bites down on her lip. “You had two of mine. I’ve never done that either, but you’re also the only one I’ve ever gone down on.”

I grin to myself, my shoulders sagging in relief. I’m a selfish bastard, but I want to be Emilia’s one and only.

She gets up and sorts out her hair before walking to my bedroom door. I grab her by her waist and kiss her deeply before letting her go. I just had her, and I already want more.

Chapter 23

Emilia

I’ve been on cloud nine all day. Being with Carter this morning was amazing. I may need to pull more pranks if it gets him to do me like that. Oddly enough, having sex without a condom felt so much more intimate. I didn’t think it’d make much of a difference, but to me it did. It felt better, both physically and emotionally. Can’t say I’m a fan of the stickiness between my thighs, though.

“What are you daydreaming about?” Kate asks, pulling me out of my thoughts. “You’ve literally been smiling to yourself all morning.”

I blush and shake my head, which only makes her look at me through narrowed eyes. She hands me the sheet face masks we’ve been wanting to try, and I unpack mine carefully.

“You’ve been staring at your phone a lot too. Emilia Parker, did you hook up with someone and not tell me?”

I look at her like a deer caught in headlights, unsure what to say. She knows me well enough to know that something is up.

“Sort of,” I murmur.

Kate gasps and grabs my shoulders. “Oh, my god. What? Tell me everything.”

My heart is beating out of my chest. I’m nervous as hell. What am I supposed to say to her? “It’s nothing serious. We got together after that party I went to. The one you couldn’t come to because you were going to stay in a hotel with Asher.”

Come to think of it, Asher came home late that night and she was at our dorm room early in the morning. I guess they didn’t end up spending the night together, but she never told me what happened.

Kate looks at me open-mouthed. “Girl, yes. No wonder you came home in the same outfit acting dodgy as hell. I kind of figured that if you’d stayed with one of the girls in our dorm, you would’ve just showered and borrowed some of their clothes. Oh my god, how was it? And who was it?”

I shake my head, already regretting opening my damn mouth at all. “Uh, I don’t really want to talk about it. It’s not serious.”

Kate shakes her head, the gears in her head turning. “I heard from Riley that you and Mason were getting quite close that night. She has a huge crush on him, so she was totally upset about it. She was so mad that he was too focused on you to pay her any attention that she ended up leaving the party early. I even told her it couldn’t be anything to worry about, but guess I was wrong. Damn girl, he’s hot. Not bad.”

I decide to keep quiet and neither confirm nor deny anything, and make a mental note to be more careful at parties. Gossip travels quicker than I expected. I’m relieved that Carter and I ended up leaving later than Riley, or Kate would’ve heard about Carter carrying me out of the party.

I quietly put my sheet mask on my face and lie down on Kate’s bed as still as possible, scared that it’ll fall off my face. Kate lies down next to me and continues to fire question after question.

“So, did you lose your virginity then?”

I squirm a little, feeling uncomfortable, and then hum in agreement. I’ve been wanting to tell Kate all about these types of things, but I never could. But then again, if she thinks it’s Mason…

“Holy shit. What was it like? I heard Mason is really rough in bed and that it’s amazing. I can totally see that.”

“Kate,” I admonish.

She chuckles. “What? I tell you everything about Asher and me.”

I groan and nod. “It was amazing. It was really hot,” I tell her honestly. When Carter took me home that night… the way he kissed me and lifted me into his arms, and the way we ended up in bed together. It was ridiculously hot.
