“It’s a bigdeal to me,” he replied. “Get into bed.”

“I’m going tomake you some lunch and bring you your pain meds and then you’regoing to have a nap.” She backed toward the doorway. “I’ll be backin a little bit.”

“Kira, I’mfine.” He gave her a look of exasperation.

“You’re not,”she said. “You’re in pain and you’re tired and you need to rest.The conversation is over, Connor.”

She steppedinto the hallway as Connor muttered, “Like hell it is, KiraWalker.”

ChapterFifteen

Connor sat on the edgeof the bed, staring fixedly at his phone.It was just after eleven and Kira had gone to bed almost two hoursago, saying she was tired and had a bit of a headache. She’d blamedit on a long day and while he knew it’d been stressful with helpinghim get to the MRI appointment and back, he also knew she waslying.

She’d gone to bed earlybecause she couldn’t stand the tensionbetween them. He studied his knee, rubbing absently at the top ofhis thigh. Not anger. They’d been perfectly pleasant to each othersince Monday afternoon when she’d returned with his lunch and hispain meds.

He’d napped, eaten and stayed in bed just like he wassupposed to. Kira had even sat in the room with him last night andtonight and binge watched some shows on Netflix. But she’d beenextremely careful not to touch him and their conversations hadn’tgone beyond anything other than talk about the shows they werewatching.

No, the tension wasn’t anger. It wassexual, and both of them were goingcrazy because of it.

He sighed and rubbed his thigh again. His knee was feelingbetter today, despite being manipulated for the MRI and there was asmall part of him that was feeling some semblance of hope thatmaybe he hadn’t completely fucked it up.

Of course, in the lasttwenty-four hours, hehadn’t even really cared about his knee. All he could think aboutwas Kira and getting her naked. Sucking on her nipples and touchingher wet pussy until she came all over his fingers.

Would she cryhis name when she came? Fuck, he hoped so. Wantedher to. Needed her to.

He took a deep breath and checked the timeagain. What he was aboutto do was a dick move, but if he didn’t do something, if he didn’tconvince her to let him make her come, they’d both lose theirfucking minds.

It didn’t have to go any further than that. She was savingherself for that douchebag firefighter, but she’d said herself thatshe wanted to experiment with Connor. She learned how to give ahandjob and now she’d find out what it was like to come fromsomeone other than her own hand. It was… valuable information forher.

Whatever, asshole. You just want to makeher come so that when she finally does start dating Daniel, you canat least know that you were the first man to make her come. You’repathetic, you know that?

He ignored his inner voice. The thought of Daniel gettingKira’s virginity made him feel, well… a little stabby if he wasbeing honest.

Since when did you start thinking of awoman’s virginity as being a prize?

He didn’t. But Kira thought itwas special and the ideathat she would be giving it to Daniel pissed him off. It shouldn’tand he had no right to be angry, but he couldn’t deny that at somepoint in the last week or so, he wanted to be the guy that Kiragave her virginity to.

It was ridiculous. Ridiculous and completely irrationaland something he wanted desperately. Daniel didn’t deserve it.Hell, he didn’t deserve Kira. She was sweet and thoughtful, and hewas a selfish dick who only used her. Kira thinking that Daniel wasmore worthy of her virginity than Connor, was a hard pill toswallow.

Yeah, well,it is what it is. Are we doingthis or not?

He was. Maybe it made him pathetic to be so determined to bethe first guy to make Kira come, but he could live with that if itmeant hearing Kira’s soft cries as she climaxed. Hell, if he wasreally lucky, he’d convince her at some point to sit on his face sohe could taste her and make her come on his mouth too.

She didn’t want youtouching heryesterday afternoon. Why do you think tonight will be anydifferent? You’re down a strike, buddy. Two more and you’re out ofthe game.

Maybe, but he was willing to take the chance. She wantedhim, that was more than obvious, and he wanted to give her what sheneeded. Seducing her while she was only half-awake would be a dickmove but he was shamefully desperate.

He drank the rest of his water and set it back on thenightstand before texting Kira. He listened intently, his heartspeeding up when he heard her climb out of bed and the thud of herfootsteps as she crossed her room. She was standing in his room inless than two minutes, squinting at him in the light of themoon.

“Connor?What’s wrong? Are you in pain?”

“No, I’m okay.”

She was wearing a long and faded HarmonyFalls High Badgerst-shirt with their mascot – a snarling badger wrapped around theletters H and F – displayed prominently on the front. She wasbraless and his cock swelled against his boxers.

“Are you sure?” She sat down on his leftside, her pale thigh pressing against his. She brushed her tangled hair back from her faceand gave him a look of concern.

“Positive. I didn’t mean to wake you, but I couldn’tsleep.”
