I giggle and do it again, this time saying ‘boop’.
He grabs my wrist and pulls up above my head, doing the same with the other one.
‘Ha,’ he says with a confident smile. ‘What are you going to do now?’
I scowl as I wriggle around. He’s got me. I can’t get free, I realize.
My eyes narrow and I raise my knee, aiming for between his legs.
He gasps, protecting himself easily and looking shocked. ‘Well, that escalated quickly,’ he whispers. ‘I think you need to be taught a lesson.’
‘By who? You?’ I snort, goading him. ‘What can you teach me besides how to date psycho sorority girls and be late for class?’
His eyes narrow and he hauls me closer. ‘That’s not fair. I’m never late to class and the craziest ones seem so quiet andnormalat first.’
I laugh. ‘You wouldn’t know normal if it bit you on the ass, Novelle!’
He smirks and gets an odd look in his eye that makes my stomach flutter. His gaze moves downward, and I realize the tank I was wearing has been pulled down, showing a lot more of my gray bra.
I struggle a little again, trying to get out of his grasp, not because I’m scared of him, but because I’m nervous.
‘Mav and Blake want to share you,’ he murmurs, his eyes not leaving the expanse of flesh I have on display. ‘What do you think of that?’
My heart beats hard inside my rib cage. It thunders in my ears, and I wonder if he can hear it, too.
‘Well,’ my tongue darts out to lick my lips and his eyes darken as they follow it, ‘that’s... I’m not sure.’
‘And what if I wanted to share you with them. The three of us. Together.’
‘Just you three?’ I ask wryly. ‘That’s all?’
‘That’s all. You’re ours, but we’d be yours, too. No one else.’
My eyes move away from his. ‘You can’t want that,’ I whisper.
‘Why not?’
I look down. ‘Because I’m... me. I’m not the type of girl who... I’m not like Laurie or the others. Even if I tried, I’d fail.’
‘None of us want you to be like them,’ he whispers in my ear. ‘We all agree you’re smart, beautiful, funny, and hot. No other girl I’ve ever met could hold a candle to you, and the guys would say the same.’
God, I wish these things were true. But why would he lie?
‘I’ve never... I don’t know a lot of things. I won’t be good at...’
He chuckles and urges me backward to my bed. He pushes me down onto it.
‘It’s true that I don’t just want kisses from you, Daisy. And all of us have more experience than you. Does that really bother you?’
His eyes move over me. ‘Or does it turn you on?’
A blush creeps up my face and he smirks darkly. ‘I fucking knew it.’
He backs off and crooks a finger at me. ‘Stand up and take it off. I want all your clothes in a pile at my feet.’
I stare up at him for a moment, not sure if Icando what he’s asking, whether I want to or not.
I want to.
