“We’re in the same boat then, because I don’t usually do sex and feelings, and I also have them about you.” He kisses the back of my hand. “It’s okay to be afraid of whatever you’re feeling. And it’s okay to tell me that. But fine is not an answer I’ll ever accept. That’s probably going to be annoying, but you’ll get used to it.”
“You’re uncomfortably real,” I tell him.
“I know. It’s part of my charm.” He nuzzles my neck a moment. “You okay?”
“Yeah. Sorry. I sort of ruined the whole afterglow, didn’t I?”
“You didn’t ruin anything. Now we have a couple of options. We can snuggle and talk, or I can go to the bathroom, wash the tissue off my business, and if you’re interested, we can do this all over again. But I’ll understand if it’s too much for one night.”
“You can go again?” I bite my lip.
“I can go all night. It’s about you and what you want. So if the feelings part is throwing you off, we can just chill out. But if you’re down with all the feelings and more orgasms and more sex, we can take a short break. And if you go for option two, I would love you to be on top.”
“Option two sounds good to me.”
22 OH SHIT
BJ
The pounding of a fist has me shooting up in bed. My door opens so fast the knob hits the wall and dents the drywall.
“Winter isn’t in her room, but her bike is still here, and her phone is on the nightstand. Her bed isn’t made, and that’s not really like her. Do you know if something—” My mom stops short when she realizes I’m not alone. “Oh.”
I’m shirtless. I’m everything-less. And so is Winter. Thankfully she’s lying on her stomach, so only her bare shoulders and back are visible. Her long, dark braid contrasts with my light gray sheets. If my mom wasn’t standing in my doorway wearing a shocked expression, I would appreciate the view a whole lot more.
Winter blinks groggily and mutters, “I’ll make my bed.” Then her eyes pop open and widen with horror as she processes her location.
After round two, I went down and got us water and a snack. I must have forgotten to lock my door.
My mom’s mouth opens and closes a couple of times as her gaze shifts to the wall. “I’d like you two to be dressed and in the kitchen in fifteen minutes. We need to have a family meeting.” She pulls the door closed with a quiet click.
Winter mouths, “Oh my fucking God.” Followed by a panicked whisper. “They’re going to kick me out. I’ll be cut from the team. What happened to your alarm?”
“Hey, hey.” I reach out, but she rolls off the bed, away from me. She’s naked and gorgeous and totally freaking out. “Take a breath, Winter. They probably just want to talk about safe sex. It’ll be embarrassing, but fine.”
“I thought you hated the word fine.” She nabs her discarded shirt from the floor and yanks it over her head.
I pull a fresh pair of boxers from my dresser and step into them, then grab a shirt from my closet and pull it over my head. My morning wood is a serious inconvenience, but apparently my dick is an insensitive ass and unconcerned with Winter’s worries.
She’s already got her shorts on. “I need a bra so my nipples aren’t saluting everyone.”
I grab her hand before she can open the door. “It’s gonna be okay.”
“Really? Because your mom just caught us naked in bed together, and I’m pretty sure that’s the opposite of okay.”
“They won’t be mad at us.” I don’t understand her panic. But then my parents have always been pretty sex positive, and most of our conversations revolve around consent and using protection.
She swallows compulsively, eyes on the floor. “They gave me a place to stay so I didn’t have to deal with my dad or stay alone in the cabin, and I go and disrespect them by having sex with you in their house.”
“I’m twenty-one, and you’re almost twenty. It’s not really a secret that we’re digging on each other. Sex is a normal part of life, and we’re hormonal athletes. I’m pretty sure they expected this to happen eventually.” She’s still staring at the floor. “Can you look at me, please?”
She does, and her eyes glisten with tears.
“I don’t know what kind of conversations you had in your house about sex, but here, it’s about making sure we’re safe and everything is consensual on both sides. Sex with someone you care about makes you human, and normal.”
She blows out a breath. “I need to put a bra on.”
“I know you’re used to having the rug pulled out from under you, Winter. But try not to let your head go to the worst-case scenario, okay?”
