It had just been food, not her attention.
Shit.
But I still didn’t want to distract her from the launch.
And then the launch came, and I suddenly didn’t give a fuck about the mother fucking party as she drew every eye in her light blue sundress that matched her eyes and looked made for her.
Her long hair was up in a high ponytail and the dress was low cut enough to show a good glimpse of her ample chest. The skirt wrapped and tied to one side, and while long, it had a slit that went up to mid-thigh on one side.
All my patience burst as I watched guy after guy flirt with her… And her flirt back. She laughed at their lame jokes and let them touch her.
I was seconds from turning into a bull and ramming them all away from her before I dragged her off and showed her exactly how big of an ogre I could be.
I couldn’t even enjoy how big of a hit the party was as it was killer and she’d totally nailed it.
I cornered her in the garage after she had some of the guys get more crawfish ready for the next round of boil. I snuck in behind her and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her back against me and nuzzling her neck.
“Don’t make dates with them. Don’t let them touch you anymore. Let me. Make dates with me, cinnamon. Don’t let them have you. Let me. All I want is to be inside of you.”
She shocked me when she elbowed me and I instantly let go. The hurt look she shot me over her shoulder destroyed me. It was like the hardest punch to the gut I could imagine.
“Now you care? Now you fucking want me because others do? I’ve done everything short of climbing on your cock in your sleep to offer myself to you. And all you did was push it back or tell me we’d talk later like I don’t fucking matter and could so easily be brushed aside.” She sniffled and looked away. “Fuck you, Finn. Maybe I’ll just let a whole group of them fuck me since you didn’t want me for real.”
She walked away and I knew what hell felt like. I stared at the ground and my eyes itched.
I’d fucked this all up and done exactly the opposite of what I’d meant to. It made so much sense from her side, but I hadn’t seen it.
And now I’d blown it.
No, no, there had to still be a chance.
I couldn’t watch someone else take her from me. I just couldn’t.

From the moment he’d signed the year employee contract, I’d done just about everything to progress to sex, thinking he was in now. At first, I thought he was shocked how easy it was to say yes, this was the right place for him and he needed a bit more time.
Fine, I was actually having fun just making out like I never got to when I was his age.
So no problem. But I still wanted to cross that line with him as I felt a pull and it was new to me.
It scared me, but it scared me worse that it could slip away.
Then I flat out asked him when I realized he might just be young and dense… And I got the line that we needed to talk later. Seriously?
Seriously?
He was going to let me down gently after the launch? Why wait? Did he think I was going to rip up his contract?
No, but I would move him to a different bedroom and pretend the intimate stuff never happened.
But the moment he’d said that, I felt my shields coming back into place. I started inching distance between us which was hard because he lived in my house and was in the next bedroom, butI knew how to do a lot without feelings or change mine to what I needed.
And I needed to not be so into Finn Fucking Costa. Asshole. He’d started all of this and the chasing.
Fine, it hadn’t been his thing, but he didn’t have to be that guy who drew it out like my life would be over and he didn’t want to risk drama.
