“You don’t need to have a comparison to tell me what youfelt,Edie,” he countered, and I could actually feel myself clench.
Now, here’s the thing about my limited experience; I wascompletelyinexperienced. While it was perfectly healthy and normal for girls to handle their business downstairs, I’d never had an orgasm. Though curious many times over the years, I hadn’t wanted to torture myself with what I couldn’t have. As long as Talon had been in the picture, I was never going to have a boyfriend, so I hadn’t wanted to know what I was missing. That was part of the reason that I had thrown myself into so many extracurricular activities. Yeah, I’d done it mainly for college, but being busy all the time had gone a long way to keep me from wishing that I’d had someone special in my life. It was hard to feel lonely when you were super busy.
So, I didn’t appreciate how my body was reacting to Lars’ nearness. Also, in light of how he regretted kissing me, Ireallydidn’t appreciate how my mind remembered everything about Friday night and that kiss. I didn’t want to know that Lars Finley was a great kisser or that he had a damn log tucked away in those jeans of his. Granted, I didn’t have anyone else to compare him to in the penis department, but still. Lars was sizeable, and it was no wonder girls threw themselves at him.
Lars lowered his head a little bit more. “Tell me what you felt, Edie?”
It was on the tip of my tongue to tell him the truth. It was on the tip of my tongue to unburden myself with these newfound feelings that I was having for Lars.
However, I couldn’t do that.
I shrugged again. “Same as you, I felt that it shouldn’t have happened.”

Lars~
Icould feel my left eye twitching like a sonofabitch, and I really felt like Edie was doing the most to drive me out of my fucking mind.
Ditching me this morning had been bad. Ignoring me all day had been annoying. However, watching Martin Nordstrom flirting with her in class had been the last straw, especially after catching Danny Mason making a play for her, and catching her with Max Halford at the party on Friday. These fuckers were all coming out of the woodwork, and I was sick of it.
However, all of that was nothing compared to hearing Edie tell me that our kiss never should have happened. Yeah, I might have been the one to say it first, but that’d been because of Talon. It shouldn’t have happened without talking to Talon first. The guilt, the regret, the indecisiveness was all because I’d felt like I had betrayed Talon, and not because I didn’t want Edie, and I was realizing just how much I wanted her as I stared down into her defiant face, looking up at me challengingly.
Instead of addressing her words, I said, “I’m going to say this only once more, Edie. No more other guys.”
Her blue eyes flared a bit. “You can’t tell me what to do, Lars,” she bit out. “Even though I don’t need it because I’m eighteen, Talon has given me permission to date, and that’s all the permission that I need. Honestly, if I didn’t respect him so much, I would have started dating ages ago.”
“Yeah?” I leaned in closer to her, my voice rumbling inside my ears. “And what do you think Talon would say if he found out that you’ve already been juggling three guys after only one week of being granted that precious permission?”
Edie’s eyes widened. “You wouldn’t.”
“Try me, Edie,” I dared.
“It’s not like that!” she yelled. “You make it sound like I’m just…just…”
“Justwhat?”
“You make it sound like I’m just sleeping around with everybody,” she hissed. “Plus, I can’t help who comes up and talks to me.”
“Maybe not,” I conceded. “But you can help who you follow into dark fucking corners at parties.”
Her eyes widened again. “You’re the worst kind of hypocrite, Lars Finley.”
“I’d rather be a hypocrite than watch you get used,” I fired back. “I think I’ve made that pretty clear.”
“But it’s okay foryouto use me?”
I had her pinned between the counter and my body before she could make her escape. “Refresh my memory, Draven,” I said through clenched teeth. “When have I ever used you?”
Before she could answer, someone was trying the doorknob, banging on the door, saving Edie for the moment. We could hear muffled voices coming through the door, mentions of the restroom being out of order or something.
When everything was silent again, I said, “Answer the question, Edie. When have I everusedyou?”
After a heartbeat of silence, she said, “You know what I mean.”
“Should I apologize?” I asked. “I mean, while I acknowledge that it was unwise, you weren’t exactly pushing me away.” Her face pinkened. “In fact, I distinctly remember how your arms and legs were wrapped tightly around me.”
I could feel my dick harden with the memories, and I knew that Edie could feel him to. I had her plastered to me, so there was no way that she could miss how my dick was trying to break out of my jeans just to get to her. Yeah, what I was doing and feeling was wrong, but that didn’t stop me from wanting her. Especially, since it was only wrong because I hadn’t spoken to Talon yet. However, all today had done was show me that what I felt for Edie was the real deal. This wasn’t about protecting her from unwanted advances anymore. I wanted her, couldn’t stop thinking about her, and truth be told, I already had love for the girl, so it wouldn’t take much to push me over the edge.
