The guy tries to kiss me as soon as we enter the room, gripping my face hard, and if I’m not letting Callum’s mouth on mine, I’m definitely not letting his.

“Uh, no thanks.” I say leaning back, pushing him away.

“Aw, c’mon.”

“No. Seriously dude, I don’t kiss.”

More specifically, I don’t kiss him, but he doesn’t need to know that part. I sit on the bed and he joins me.

“Okay fine,” he finally gives up with a groaning sigh, “No kissing.” He places his hand on my thigh and begins to rub.

Something is seriously off here. With this guy.

“Uh,” I say, lifting his hand away, “Can’t we talk first?”

“We’re here to hookup, not talk we met on Fluffr, not MatchMe.” he says, returning his hand, once again leaning in to kiss me.

I scoot away, “I’m not looking for love man, but it’s kinda common courtesy to have a discussion before sex y’know? Like consent and stuff…” I trail off. This is common sense. Do I really have to explain this to a grown man?

“Nah, I don’t really concern myself with bullshit like that.”

“Oh. Bullshit?”

“Yeah, it’s a waste, we’re animals, our instincts will kick in.”

I try not to show my negative reaction on my face. This guy seriously skeeves me out. I don’t know what I might do that could set him off, and something tells me dude is a ticking time bomb. I do not want to be the big red button to his explosion.

“Animals usually only fuck in the one position.” I laugh awkwardly, trying to keep this suddenly frightening situation light.

“What, you’re a top? I can work with that.”

I can tell his impatience is growing.

“I’m a side.” I say.

He scoffs, “Oh god, one of those guys.”

Yeah, maybe I am for guys like you. Or guys that aren’t Callum; but that’s beside the point.

“Well, at least let me get a kiss if I cant have that tight ass.” And then he’s leaning again. I have never been so icked out. Despite being a clean, handsome man he’s suddenly gross to me. His poor manipulation tactics aren’t helping.

It’s like his image has been replaced with some kind of greasy slime monster. His touch feels like it’s leaving a film. I can feel it lingering after it leaves. Arrogance radiates around him like a toxic aura.

I hate to admit this, but I’m scared.

I lean away so far that I fall off the bed. My phone falls out of my pocket, so I quickly grab it and run into the bathroom. Thanking the heavens for expensive hotels so I can lock the door.

“Hey! What the fuck?”

“Sorry, just a second! I realized I needed to go.”

Yeah, I really fucking do.

Tears prick behind my eyes. I’m so fucking stupid.

If I’m going to keep up this ruse I need to hurry the fuck up. I’m so stressed right now— Is this how Oliver feels— all the time? I owe him an apology, or a hug, maybe both. Remind me to thank Scout for thinking ahead I scoffed at the idea, but it might just be my saving grace now.

Kellen is gonna scold me so hard when he hears this story if I make it out of here in one piece. He always tells us to trust our intuition, and what did I do, ignored and excused it at every turn.
