Page 90 of Not That Ridiculous

I closed my eyes. Shit.

“Okay,” I said. “Before you go running for a screwdriver, let me just say that I lost a bolt on moving day and it’sfineif I prop it up and don’t thrash around too much in the night, and I’m not a thrasher, so—ohhhhh.”

Kevin lay his body on top of mine, catching my chin and holding it as he sank his tongue into my mouth and kissed me quiet. He pulled back once he’d managed to get another moan out of me, and said intently, “Don’t care, I’ll fix it later.”

I gripped his shoulders and attempted to lever him away.

He watched me with amusement. He didn’t move an inch.

“Argh. No, Kevin, you don’t have to fix?—”

“I want to and I’m gonna, unless you tell me off about it for real. But right now, Charlie, please. Will you let me fuck you?”

I swallowed hard, gazing up into his face. “Yes?” I said.

He slid a knee between mine and used it to open my legs wider. He fitted himself in between them. “That sounded like a question, not an answer.” He touched a gentle fingertip to the space between my eyebrows and rubbed lightly at my frown. “Am I pressuring you? Yeah. I am, aren’t I? I can be a bit full-on. I want you so much, but I only want you to do stuff you’re ready for. I’m full-on, and I’m patient. I already said downstairs, I’m happy with cuddling. Or anything. I’ll take anything, Charlie. I just want you.”

I caught his wrist. “You can have me. “But…” I said reluctantly.

“Go on,” he said, stroking a soothing hand up and down my side.

I bit my lip and looked at the ceiling. “I’m not very experienced with all of this.”

“I know,” he said. “That’s cool. You don’t need to be. I’ve got it covered.”

“Right. I know you know. But you don’t know quite, uh. Quitehowinexperienced I am. With this whole. Situation.” I looked at him.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed audibly, eyes widening. When I didn’t go on, he squeezed my ribs and nodded.

He looked way too excited.

I glared at him. “I’m a virgin, all right?” I snapped.

“Wow.”

“Yes.”

“Wow.”

“Thank you. This is helpful. Say it one more time, why don’t you?”

“Wow.”

“Okay, you know what?” I tried to heave him off me. “It’s a load of crap anyway. It doesn’t mean anything?—”

“It means something to me, Charlie.”

“Well, I don’t care. I refuse to feel stup?—”

“I can’t believe I get to be your first! I am going to take your virginity so,sonicely. I can’t believe this. I’m so lucky.”

I blinked at him.

He was brimming with excitement and determination. “Now, I want you to lie back like a princess and let me do my thing. Yeah. Glare at me all you like.” He leaned up and kissed my frowning forehead. “Gets me hot.” He hitched his hips against mine. “You gonna let me do my thing?”

“Yes, but…”

He nodded encouragingly.
