“Me either.” This almost seemed ludicrous, considering the obvious, but here we were. I watched as he scribbledHonestyon another note and peeled it off, slapping it down beneath the other note.

“What else?”

“Do we need to establish how many days a week we see each other or have a date night?”

He frowned. “Are you trying to put a limit on how many days a week I can see you?”

“No.” I shook my head. “I assumed couples set up a day for date night.”

“We can have a date night, but I’m not down with limiting how many days of the week we see each other. If we want to spend time with each other, we will. Even if it’s every day of the fucking week. Do you have a problem with that?”

My eyes widened, considering he didn’t seem like the type who was clingy. I couldn’t get a read on him. On this. “No. I don’t think so.”

“You don’t think so?”

He seemed annoyed, and I didn’t understand why. “Do you want to spend that much time together? With me?”

“Why not? You’re my girl.”

For now, I reminded myself. Regardless, I agreed. “Okay. No limits on date nights.”

“Good,” he answered gruffly and wrote in angry, all cap letters:NO LIMITS.

A few seconds passed as I thought about how to phrase what I wanted to ask. “What about—?” The words got stuck in my throat because I knew I’d sound stupid.

“Sex?” Axel supplied, knowing exactly what I was wondering.

I strummed the ends of my hair over my shoulder. “Um, yeah. Sex.”

He scratched the dark stubble on his chin. “Sex encompasses a lot of different things. You’re a virgin, so I plan on showing you everything. Teaching you everything.” His voice sounded gravelly again, causing my stomach to flutter. He smiled wryly. “I said I’d never do this, and yet here we are.”

I don’t fuck virgins. He was breaking his rules for me.

“When you say everything…” I began slowly, licking my lip anxiously, whether out of being afraid of the unknown or the thrill of anticipation. “Does that start now?”

“Is that what you think? That I’m gonna give you a crash course? Nah, that’s not how it’s going to happen. You’re not ready to learn everything right now.”

“I thought you might’ve brought me here for a reason.”

“So eager to learn, aren’t we?” he deadpanned. “I thought you said you had classwork to do.”

“I do, but I also didn’t know you were going to kidnap me and take me to your house.”

“I didn’t plan on that either.” His brows furrowed. “But since you’re here, I guess…” He steepled his hands over his mouth, peering up at me in thought. I caught that brief glimpse of hunger in his eyes before he stood up abruptly. “You need to sit down and do your homework.”

My brows drew together. “And what will you do?”

“I have work to do, too. Even though I’m not a library rat like you, I do have to work hard for that 4.0 GPA, you know.” He stepped over to his backpack and rifled through it, pulling out a laptop and a book. Then he plopped down on his bed and went to work, while I watched for several moments, stunned. Realizing he was dead serious, I unwittingly pulled out my laptop.

After staring at my computer for what seemed like forever, I couldn’t focus on the work. I kept sneaking glances at him, wondering how he could be so nonchalant after what he’d said about how he was going to teach me everything about sex. How I’d seen the flash of fire in his eye. How he made my stomach do somersaults. And just as I anticipated something happening, he’d shut it down, concentrating on something that he obviously thought was far more fascinating than me.

“What’s wrong, Hardcore?” He never looked up as his voice pierced my thoughts.

I shifted my eyes to my screen. “Nothing.”

“You’ve been sitting there for almost an hour, staring at your screen.” He shifted into a seated position. “You want to tell me what’s going on?”

“When will my car be ready?” That wasn’t really the top of all my concerns, since I knew Axel had made good on his word before.
