“I’m not taking money from you or your family.” I shook my head. “That’s not cool.”
“What do you mean it’s not cool? We’re not just going to give you money. Obviously, you’d work for it and—”
“No,” I said vehemently. “It’s not going to happen, Chet.”
“Why are you so stubborn, Arya?” he said, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me in towards him.
“Don’t do that,” I said, pushing him away. But he held onto me tightly.
“I missed you this morning,” he said, brushing my lips with his.
“Chet, anyone could walk out and see us.”
“So?” He smirked and squeezed my ass.
“Chet!”
“What?” he said, grinning.
“We cannot be making out right here.”
“Hey, it’s not like we’re making love in the corridor.”
“Chet!” I said louder than I’d intended.
“Are you trying to wake up everyone else in the house?”
“No, I’m not. You need to go back to your room so I can go into my room and change.”
“Can I come into your room with you?”
“No,” I said, shaking my head. “You’re really too much.”
“What? I think you’re sexy, and I think you think I’m sexy and, well, I’m feeling pretty hard right now. Wouldn’t mind a repeat—”
“Stop it!” I said, cutting him off.
He frowned and pretended to cry. “You don’t want to be with me, huh? Was I that bad?”
“No,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Obviously not. I’m just…” I sighed. I grabbed his face and kissed him hard and then pulled back. He stared at me with a dazed look on his face. “Look, what we had last night was fun, but that’s not my priority right now.”
“Will it be your priority tonight?”
“Chet, really?”
“What?” he said. “I’m hoping it wasn’t just a one-time thing.”
“I don’t know, but I really have to get ready. Eloise and your mom are waiting for me in the kitchen.”
“Fine,” he said, holding his hands up and taking a step back. “You go and do what you got to do, and I’ll see you when you get back.”
“Okay,” I said. “Thank you.” I slipped into my bedroom door and closed the door behind me. I took a couple of deep breaths and walked to the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water.
Chet was a rascal.
He was absolutely the most charming and irresistible man I’d ever met. Rugged, handsome, obstinate, obnoxious, and incredibly sexy. I was in over my head.
Last night had been absolutely marvelous, but as much as I wanted to sleep with him again, I was scared to. I knew the more I was intimate with him, the harder it was going to be for me to walk away. Chet wasn’t ready for a serious relationship, and I couldn’t get into anything with anyone unless it was going somewhere. I couldn’t do that to Eloise.
