She nodded, her gray eyes wide. “I really didn’t mean it like that. I feel awful for hurting your feelings. You’re definitely not gross, Caleb. Like, at all.” Her eyes swept over me, her cheeks darkening to red again.

“You blush when you flirt,” I said, smiling at her.

“I-I wasn’t flirting.”

“You were,” I teased. “You think I’m hot.”

Her flush raced down her neck.

What I wouldn’t give to see her breast bloom red with embarrassment.

“You’re really good looking. You work out. You’re handsome. Smart.” Her face just continued to glow.

I let out a laugh, feeling relieved everything was getting better with us.

“Just say it,” I urged.

“You’re hot,” she admitted, twisting her fingers together nervously, her leg bouncing.

I smiled at how shy she was and rested my hand on her jumpy leg.“A-And if someday you ever want to, um, explore more with me, maybe we can do that.”

Fuck yes.

I maintained my cool, thankfully.

“Lil bit, for what it’s worth, I think you’re absolutely stunning. I always have.” I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

She looked at me with parted lips, making me ache with want.

I pulled back, not wanting to fuck things up again.

“How was the party? I left early,” I said, clearing my throat.

She blinked rapidly for a moment as if lifting herself out of a spell and shook her head.

“It was good. Great, actually. Um, the, uh, masked trio showed up.”

My heart jumped at her words, but I opted to play it cool.

“Yeah? How’d that go? Get any names?”

“It was… incredible.” She got a faraway look in her eyes, her body relaxing. “I think they followed me home after, uh, we had sex.”

“You had sex with them?” I cleared my throat.

She nodded her head, a smile on her face. “One of them. It was so good. He, uh, forced me down and we did it right outside near the woods. Anyone could have seen us, but he didn’t care. He just…took care of me.”

“Sounds like you had a good time.”

“I did.” She nodded vigorously. “Only with one though. The other two just watched. So they must know who I am, right?”

“Sure sounds like it.”

She bit her bottom lip. My cock jumped to life in my pants as I thought about her plump, pink lips wrapped around my length as she choked on my dick.

Fucking hell.

Rocking chairs. Math equations. The fucking Krebs cycle.
