She grins and rests her chin on my chest. “Because I want to have the power of the ring, but also because Sam never leaves his side, I kind of like the idea of that kind of loyalty.”
I sigh. “I’ve never cheated, never will. Loyal to a fault.”
Her eyes flicker away from mine, like I somehow made her nervous. “Good.”
What did I say wrong?
She starts to move away from me, but I pull her back down then frown. Her face is super flushed across the bridge of her nose and her cheeks. “Hey, you feeling okay?”
She nods.
“Okay, it’s just you have a small rash or swelling—“ I start to point when she scrambles away from me and basically dives off the bed in search of her clothes.
“I actually…” She quickly puts on her clothes. “Forgot about something I have to do really quick.” She stumbles toward the door and pauses like she needs to catch her breath. “Thank you though, thank you!”
“For the sex?”
She looks over her shoulder. “For being you.”
She’s gone in seconds.
And I’m left wondering if I’m bad at sex or just offered her.
I send her a quick text.
Me
Please tell me you really didn’t hate it.
She doesn’t respond back for two hours.
And when she does, it’s with a heart emoji plus a “I’ll tell you later.”
Later comes sooner than I thought because when I open the front door, she’s standing there in completely different clothes with a smile on her face. “Aren’t you going to wish me Happy Birthday?”
“Thought I already did?”
Her attitude seemed more upbeat, different. “Well, let’s repeat that then.”
“Huh?”
She grabs me by the neck and pulls me in for a kiss that does not feel like the kisses we’ve been sharing today. I jerk away. “Are you feeling okay?”
“It’s my birthday,” she says again. “Of course, plus I have you.”
“Okay, Frodo.” I laugh.
She doesn’t.
What the Hell is going on?
Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes.
I drop her hand and take a step back. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
Her posture relaxes a bit. “Yeah, I just had something to do with my sister, but now I’m back.”
“Okay.”
