I was in so much pain; he was in so much pain. I wanted to kiss him and make it all go away, let us forget all about Sabine and Margot’s fucked-up comments, but even more importantly, to forget all about our fucked-up pasts.
“You’re hard.”
I was painfully hard, and then he fucking flipped us, and I imagined him riding me like that.
Fuck. It just wouldn’t stop. All those images I’d tried to push away raced through my mind in an instant, and I imagined a very different sort of tussle. I imagined him having my name on his ass, pushing into him as he begged me to go harder.
And now I’m hard again.
Fuck.
I slide my textbook off the desk and rest it in my lap. No need to torture Colin’s brother and give him false hope.
“Seven out of ten,” Ash says, grabbing my attention. He must see my disappointment because he says, “You’re doing good.” He hands me the practice test.
“Good?” Not good enough to show Atlas up.
Ash smiles. I can’t imagine why. “You’re doubting my skills?”
“No, it’s better than the three I got on that first one. But the last one was six, and it’s not a good enough grade.”
“To pass?”
No, to get head.
Not that that’s even going to happen.
But do I want it to happen? And if I do, would he—
He’s straight, so get that out of your head.
And if he’s not?
What do you mean if he’s not? Stop thinking like that.
“You aren’t looking at this the right way,” Ash says, not for the first time since we started our study sessions. “You know how you said math and science came easy to you? I was the opposite. I had to learn how to study. These tests I’ve been giving you…”
“Yeah?”
“Typically, a teacher will come up with something like five to ten problems to cover the material, and there will be variations of those with similar issues designed to trip you up, but those are covered in the homework and tests, so if you understand the concepts and those particular tricks they’ve singled out, you’ll do fine, right?”
“I get that.”
Why does he have that grin on his face?
“When you asked for help, I studied your homework for the first test, the study guide, and the actual test. Then I studied the homework assignments in the book that cover this testperiod, and I’ve been following the homework you’ve had and determined what I believe will be the variations he’ll have for the next test. Are you following?”
“Is this an oral practice test?”
He chuckles. “No. The first time you took the practice test I gave you, you got three out of ten. Last one you got six, and this one seven. That tells me that since we started, you’ve learned how to solve four more of the types of problems you’ll encounter, and we just need to home in on the ones you’re still not getting. And from my assessment, I think I see the tricks you’re falling for, so I’m confident this is very doable within a week.” Ash reaches over and pushes up on my chin to close my mouth.
“Ash, you’re agenius!”
“Damn right. Now stop doubting my nerd superpowers.”
“Thank you, God of the Nerds. I’m very appreciative that you’re willing to use your powers to help a lowly mortal like me.”
“Happy to give you that little push you needed. Now let’s stop talking tests and get back to figuring some of this shit out. I got a Scruff date in an hour, so start learning faster.”
