Page 5 of Loving Bad
I wasn't going to tell her that he was the hottest guy I'd ever seen, and all he had to do was look at me to have an effect on me. A shiver ran through at the memory of meeting his eyes across the room full of people.
"So, do you feel any different now that you've lost your V-card?" she asked.
"No, I feel exactly the same," I replied. I didn't even feel a little tender down there like some girls had told me that I'd feel after losing my virginity.
Even Jordan had relayed her first experience of sex. It had been in high school with some jock in the backseat of his car. It hadn't even lasted five minutes. Even she'd said that she had been tender there the next day.
"Was this guy just a one-night stand or are you planning on seeing him again?" she asked. I let out a sigh as I sat back down again. I had a feeling she wasn’t going to let up on the questioning anytime soon.
"It was just a one-night stand. I doubt I will ever see him again," I brushed off.
It had happened the way I'd wanted it to, all except for the remembering part. I didn't have the need to get involved with someone to lose my virginity, so the fact that it had been a one-night stand with no strings attached suited me perfectly. It wasn't like I was daydreaming about a relationship with Sin. I was inexperienced in some ways and innocent in others, but I knew how a one-night stand worked, and I was okay with that. I wouldn't be shedding any tears over it.
Trying to deflect the questioning off me, I turned the tables and began to ask Jordan about a couple of the guys she'd talked to last night. We sat talking for an hour about the party before I decided I needed a shower. I got my stuff together and went to the restroom. I was still feeling a little ill by the time I made it back to my dorm room. It was a Saturday, so I didn't have to worry about getting to class or trying to concentrate. I did have an assignment to do, but I could do it later or the next day.
I was lying on my bed, reading a book, trying to get over my hangover. Jordan was dressed and busy with an assignment with some books open on her bed when someone knocked on the door. We both looked at each other with curiosity. We weren't expecting anyone. I sat up as Jordan walked over to the door and opened it.
At the sight of the person who filled the doorway, my mouth dropped open in shock.
What is he doing here?
The sight of him made me want to climb under my bed and hide. One-night stands weren't supposed to come looking for you the next morning, were they? He was dressed in a faded pair of jeans and a plain white shirt. Even in shock, I couldn't dispute that he was gorgeous.
Had I left something behind and he was here to return it? It was the only logical thing that would explain why he was here. But I couldn't remember leaving anything behind.
"Whoever you're looking for isn't here," said Jordan with hostility. I'd never heard her be so rude before.
But Sin ignored her as his gaze swept past Jordan into the room and onto me. I felt a shiver run through me at the intensity of it. It was too late to hide; he'd seen me. Jordan looked a little confused as she took a step back and looked from Sin to me. I felt a guilty blush tinge my cheeks at the fact that I hadn’t told her it had been Sin. He still had his intense gaze fixed on me when Jordan looked back to him.
It was time to take control and be an adult in this uncomfortable situation. I'd had a one-night stand with him, and I didn't need to feel ashamed of that. The only feeling I should feel was the guilt for not telling her it had been Sin. I stood up and dropped the book I was reading onto my bed. An uncomfortable atmosphere set in as I walked over to the door, and Jordan took another step back and watched us with curiosity. He still hadn't said a word, and his gaze fixed on me as I came to a stop in front of him.
Not wanting to have this conversation in front of anyone, my eyes met his for a moment and then I stepped past him. I walked down the hallway, and I couldn't ignore the appreciative looks some of the girls were giving him as he followed me. I opened the door to the staircase and turned to see Sin follow through the door behind me. Silence settled in between us for a few moments after the door closed.
I was the first one to break the silence.
"How did you find me?" I asked.
"It really wasn't that difficult," he answered. "I asked around."
"What are you doing here?" I asked anxiously, dropping my eyes to the floor for a moment. Just spending a little time in his presence made me hyperaware of him. It also didn't help that he could remember what we'd done last night, but I couldn't.
"I wanted to check on you."
It was the first time I'd ever heard him talk, or could remember hearing his voice. It had a sexy huskiness to it that made my body tingle. I had to remind myself that as attracted to him as I was, one-night stands didn't do repeat performances.
"Why?" I asked, looking up to him as I crossed my arms.
He gave me a confused look.
"It was just one night. Why would you need to check up on me?" I asked.
He looked at me like I was talking a different language.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, shaking his head slightly.
"Last night was fun and...thanks," I said, unsure of exactly what to say. From what Jordan had said, it had sounded like he was king of one-night stands, so he would know exactly how these things worked.
He cocked his head to the side, brushing his lip ring with the tip of his tongue as he studied me for a moment.
