I stood up straight. “Ones that aren’t your business.”
He put his palms up in surrender. “Just saying.”
I snagged an apple from the bowl on the cabinet. “Yeah, you’re alwaysjust saying, you’re always talking. I bet your mouth would love a break.”
Jordan tossed his towel over his shoulder. “Nah, we have a close-knit relationship. It gets me.”
Josie’s cheeks were red when I glanced over at her. “I better get a shower. I’ll see you tonight.”
She winked at me and left me feeling like a basket of nerves. When was I nervous about being alone with a girl? I’d never been nervous. You’d think the inexperienced one would be nervous, but no, it’s me. The one that’s had plenty of girls pursue him.
The one that’s had sexual contact.
Josie made me want to be better.
Chapter Twenty-One
Josie
“A virgin?”
I pressed my palm against India’s mouth and tossed her a death glare. It was one thing to be a virgin, I wasn’t ashamed, but I didn’t need the world knowing about it.
She chuckled, swinging her feet from where she sat on the computer desk beside me. The writing center cleared out for the day, but we still had forty minutes before our shift ended.
India smiled while looking at her cuticles. “I mean, it’s not a bad thing, Josie, and to be honest, I’m not shocked. You’re so sweet—,”
“Ugh,” I said. “I don’t want to be cute or sweet. I want to be sexy. I want him to want me.”
India lifted a pierced brow. “Josie, he does want you, he’s exclusive with you. I know so many girls that want him, and he is with you. You don’t have to change for him to want you.”
I shrugged, playing with a string on the hem of my t-shirt. “I don’t know, India. I just don’t know what to do. All I’ve ever done is kiss, and only him.”
“You’ve only kissed Maverick? Whew girl, you’re very inexperienced. Have you ever?” she asked, wiggling her fingers.
I cringed at the thought. “Gosh, no.”
India gave me a deadpan look. “You’ve never had an orgasm either? Poor you.”
“Stop it,” I whined. “This is serious. What do I wear? I’m assuming my days of the week underwear won’t be sexy to him.”
India burst out laughing. “Does your mother still buy your underwear, Josie? I haven’t had those since elementary.”
I sighed. This was useless. Even after reading about all the inexperienced girls in those romance books, most of them knew more about things than I did. I might as well be that Bridgerton girl who didn’t know what went where.
India jumped down. “Don’t fret. Mommy India will help you—,”
I grimaced. “No—,”
She rolled her eyes. “—not literally, Josie. I’ll leave the finger play up to you. You’ve made out with him, right?”
I nodded.
“Have you ever sat on his lap while you kissed?”
I bit my lower lip, remembering the night after my date with King. Maverick took charge and put me there. I still envisioned how he felt pressed against me, and how everything he did made me want him more.
I wanted to do that for him.
