My breath grows heavier and heavier, as do my nearly non-existent boobs. It’s right there. I’m just about to come. I can feel it… And then…

I don’t?

But I want this. I’m turned on. I like Crue. A lot. And I want to come. Now.

Why won’t it…

I twist my hips slightly left, rubbing my clit but I can’t find that firework feeling again.

I try right. Come on, come on. Where is it?

No?

No. It recedes completely.

I slow my movements. It still feels good. Really good. But it doesn’t grow bigger than a low sizzle, like a sparkler.

Maybe I did come but was too distracted thinking about coming to notice? Or did my overthinking stop the orgasm altogether?

Ugh.

I shudder and moan a convincing little, “Ah,” before immediately hopping off.

“What was that?” Crue is quick to ask.

“That was great. Thanks,” I say, realizing my mistake a moment too late. We don’t say thanks to each other.

“Thanks?” he repeats, his eyebrows drawing closer together. He brings his knees up, resting his elbows on them as he watches me gather my clothes.

That shyness creeping back up from before, I make sure I’m bent with my ass away from Crue’s face.

“Did you come?”

“Yeah.”

“Why didn’t it seem like it? And why are you being so fucking weird?”

“It’s not weird to get dressed. I do it every day. Anyway, I should probably get back to my room before anyone sees me coming out of yours.” I freeze with my shorts halfway up my legs. “Unless you want me walking around naked for anyone to see…”

“I want you to be straight with me. Did you come?”

Eye level with each other, his light eyes probe mine.

“I don’t know,” I admit, then continue putting my clothes on.

“How do you not know?”

“I was about to, and then just…didn’t?”

“So you didn’t come? You just said you didn’t know.Afteryou said you did.”

“It’s a confusing time for all of us.”

The confusion on Crue’s face seems to double, confirming my statement. It is.

“Why did you fake it?”

“Hello?” I shake my head and spread my hands out, but Crue just looks at me expectantly. Has he never considered the possibility that a woman faked an orgasm with him? “I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.”
