“I’m not sore, and after sex for the first time, you’re supposed to be sore,” I say as I try to reenact one of the sexy poses Harley told me to use.
His eyebrows go up, as he remains distractingly naked, his very perfect butt still on display. But I’m more concerned about the expression on his face.
“That was supposed to be dirty talk, but you look a little…insulted?” I guess, still gauging his expression.
His lips curve with the beginnings of a grin that he wipes away with one hand.
I can’t believe I’m going to quote Maverick, since everyone has told me to never do that. I think back to some of the things he said to girls that he claimed worked—when he didn’t think I was listening.
But there was one line that stands out that also sounds reasonably hygienic and leaves little room for misinterpretation.
“I’m going to take a shower so we can do it all over again, if you’re interested,” I say, watching as his gaze slowly rakes over my sheet-covered body.
His eyebrow quirks, as a slow smile spreads over his lips.
“I’ll meet you in the shower,” Base says, lips still curved. “If you’re interested,” he adds like he’s mimicking my line as he goes toward my bathroom.
I try to stand, but the sheet tangles around my feet, and I fall so slowly out of bed that I have to walk forward on my hands just to get my feet untangled.
“I can shower with you, but I don’t think I’m advanced enough yet for shower sex,” I say before I wrap up in the very twisted sheet the best I can and hurry toward the bathroom.
I really don’t think he should be laughing at a time like this, but since his laugh is doing all the right things to my body, I decide it’s a null point.
“And I may need help wrapping my cast if we’re in any sort of hurry,” I add, not even taking the time to process I’m no longer a virgin.
My identity has finally changed.
I weirdly do feel a little different. A grin only spreads wider as Base pulls out a plastic bag and immediately starts wrapping my cast, kissing his way down my neck as he does so.
I don’t want it completely emotionless. I like this.
