“Did you have fun?” Ren beams, taking off his shirt to wipe my chest.
I nod slowly, face burning up.This is weird… I can’t believe we just did that.
I can’t believe howawesomeit was.
“Sleepover was a success,” I mumble, and he hums, pressing a kiss on my lips.
I don’t know why I’m feeling suddenly reticent. Call it the post-orgasm reality smack, I guess, but I just feel like maybe it’s not smart for friends to hook up. Especially when one of them is Ren.He’s very intense.
But Idolike him. It’s not that I don’t. I’m just worried about what all this means.
“Wow, look at you,” he sighs, and my brows furrow. “Already overthinking everything. At least give it a few minutes.”
I chuckle. “I liked it, Warren,” I feign annoyance, to which he laughs some more, settling into the bed next to me. “I really liked it.”
He lies on his side, facing me. So I do the same. “You know you don’t have to freak out about it… You can just do what you want and be happy. No label required.”
“Yea, I guess,” I gulp.
What he doesn’t seem to be picking up on is that this unease is less about him being a guy and more about him beingRen.
I like him… Maybe it’s just the orgasm-high talking, but I liked him before that too. He just happens to be the most complicated person ever invented.
“How would you feel about… more experiments?” he asks, and my heart skips in my chest.
“You mean more of this?” I touch his chest gently, tracing the curves of his muscles. “I don’t think Hancock is going to keep accidentally putting me in the wrong cell.”
He laughs. “We can find a way. I have magic powers, after all.”
My hand slows, right over his heart.
Yea, he does. He sure lovesmagic.
My lips part, but I can’t bring myself to say what I want to.Don’t hook up with anyone else, please…
Even thinking it makes me feel like a pathetic virgin. I’m already clinging to him, and we just hooked up. It’s crazy to be thinking this so soon… And Ren doesn’t believe in monogamy, so there’s just no way.
“I’m not sure…” I rumble, the rest of it getting lodged in my throat.
“Don’t take this away from me…” Ren sighs, curling his big arms around my waist and pulling me into him. “Not yet. Just let me savor it, okay?”
My mind has a million more questions. But none of them matter enough to keep me out of his magnetic field.
“You still make me nervous…” I whisper.
With my head on his chest, and his beautiful, black heart rocking me to sleep…
He hums, “You should be.”
A few days later…
Avirgin. Honestly, I’m shook.
I don’t surprise easily. It takes a lot to pull the wool over ol’ Ren’s eyes, but Lex Luthor Deon managed it. He kept this little secret locked up tight. And when he revealed it, like a magician’s final trick, I was stunned. Flabbergasted. Bamboozled.
More fuckingawestruckthan I’ve ever been by anyone or anything.
The man I’ve been crushing on for over a year is actually avirgin, and it just makes me like him a million times more. Because now, more than ever, I can see how infinitelydifferentwe are.
