“And he likes that she never gives in to him. He’s just a flirt,” I said, shrugging. But I hoped the warning was there too:Don’t fall for his attention. He doesn’t really mean it.
Even though I had no right to warn her about anything. She wasn’t mine. No matter how much I wanted her to be.
“So, the food situation…” Colter said, coming up with Cat in his arm again, purring so hard that Everleigh narrowed her eyes at him.
“I gave you a whole bag of fishy treats, and all I got was a nasty cut on my hand,” she said, shaking her head at him.
“I heard he doesn’t like women,” Colter said, shifting Cat closer to Everleigh. He immediately stopped purring. And had his paw ready to strike. “Weird,” he decided, shaking his head.
From there, it was time to eat. Which Colter did with relish, having seconds, then thirds, and eating almost a whole chocolate cream pie by himself. Thankfully, Everleigh had made four of them, given how many people were around.
The club girls showed up not long after, and things really got into swing.
“If you want to head up, I got the clean-up,” I said. The dishwasher was already going, so it was just a few pots and pans left.
“Ah, yeah, actually,” she said, and there was something in her smile that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. “I don’t want to get a headache,” she added, then turned and rushed out of the room.
Weird.
But, then again, I’d never seen Everleigh at a party, so maybe she was just that eager to get away from the craziness.
I had no idea she had anything else in mind.
Not after I cleaned up, then got ready for bed, even though I knew it would be rough to sleep as the noise level just kept rising.
Eventually, I made my way in the room, surprised to find it already almost completely dark in there, save for the screensaver on the TV for one of the music channels, playing something kind of bluesy.
Interesting choice since it was completely clashing with the mix of hip-hop and rock going on down below.
Again, I thought nothing of things as I got into my side of the bed.
It wasn’t until I was under the covers that I felt her shifting.
Sliding over me.
Wearing nothing but a barely-there lace bra and panty set.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Everleigh
I was nervous.
It was so silly.
It wasn’t like I was a virgin or anything.
But, I guess, the first time with someone new was always kind of nerve-racking. And, at the same time, exciting.
So the butterflies were at odds with the flip-flops in my belly, making me feel a little jittery as I slathered on my lotion, then slipped into the pretty pink bra and panty set, then tossed on a robe to rush across the hall and close myself into Detroit’s room.
I knew he wasn’t far behind me, so I got the music on the TV and turned off the lights before chewing a mint, then lying there, waiting for him to finish washing up in the bathroom, then making his way into the room.
My heartbeat was frantic as a hummingbird’s wings as he made his way toward his side of the bed, lifting the sheets, then climbing under.
I couldn’t hesitate.
I knew I would psych myself out if I waited.
