“It’s never a hardship,” I murmur, settling my hands on the edge of the table, needing to grip something.
“You always make me feel like I want to spill my guts,” he admits.
“I do?” Okay, that’s surprising.
He nods. “Yeah. Even when I’m mad at you, I want to tell you everything.”
His words echo in my head in time with the steady beat of my heart. “Everything?”
His smile is faint. “I shouldn’t want to.”
“You get mad at me?” What does he even mean by that?
“More like I’m frustrated with myself because of you,” he explains.
“Here we go again.” I roll my eyes, though I’m secretly thrilled.
At least I’m getting a reaction out of him.
“You know what I’m saying. I’m drawn to you despite everything. Despite my worry and my feelings of disloyalty to my best friend. I’m breaking a promise to Knox, you know. Yet here I am, chasing you down in front of everyone at Logan’s. Word will get back to your brother and he’ll ask me about it. He’ll probably be pissed about it too.”
“Oh, come on. He doesn’t care that much.”
“He does,” Cam says without hesitation. “You’re not worried about him because he’s your brother. You’ve dealt with him your entire life—”
“Look,” I interrupt him, “we’ve been going round and round like this for weeks. I’m over it. I don’t want to get strung along, Cam. I meant what I said a few days ago. You’re worthy of so much more than you believe, if you just give yourself a chance. It doesn’t have to be like this. Knox won’t kick your ass for having sexual relations with me.”
The expression of pure misery that crosses his face is undeniable. “Come on, B. Sexualrelations?Why you gotta phrase it like that?”
“You know what I mean.” I roll my eyes, trying to play this off, feeling a little embarrassed. “The two of us together. Having sex or whatever.”
“Or whatever?” He lifts his brows.
“You know.” I wave a hand.
“No, I don’t. Please explain.”
He’s enjoying torturing me. The jerk.
“Look, my sexual experiences so far?” He nods, encouraging me, and I can’t believe I’m even admitting any of this. “They haven’t been that exciting.”
“Why not?”
“They only ever covered the basics.” I send him a meaningful look. “I think I need a little excitement in my life.”
“And you believe I can do that for you?”
He swallows hard. I see the movement of his Adam’s apple, and because I’m a sadistic bitch, I decide to take this conversation a step further. “I know you can.”
His smile is small yet arrogant. Like he knows he can rock my world. “I know a few tricks.”
“I’m sure you do,” I murmur. “Maybe you could show me?”
Yikes. Where did that question just come from?
“You’re a bad girl tonight, B,” he gently chastises, shaking his head.
“You’re bad all the time,” I return. “And you flirt with me constantly.”
