Oh, dear God. Two words. Two simple, four-letter words and I’m like putty in his hands. I sag against him and he wraps his arm around my waist.

“You know what? I know exactly how to fix all this.”

He takes my hand and drags me along behind him.

“Where are we going?”

“Upstairs.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m going to fuck you.Now.”

CHAPTER 14

***Gage***

She hasn’t said a word. I made my big announcement and she’s gone mute. She allows me to lead her up the stairs and into the bedroom with absolutely no resistance. She stands by the bed and watches as I drag my T-shirt over my head. She’s shaking, and I know it’s not from fear.

“Take off your clothes.”

“Are you sure about this?”

“You’re the one with doubts, and I’m going to dick them right out of you.”

She gasps and then slowly removes her jacket. When it falls to the floor, she reaches for the strap of her dress.

“What? No objections?”

“I thought –”

“No.Ithought you wanted to be with the boy, but here you are.”

Her hands fall limply to her sides and she perches on the bed, dropping her gaze to the floor.

“You were testing me.”

“I was merely helping you make the right decision. You know it’s right because you didn’t have to think about it.”

She sighs deeply, turns and blinks up at me as I sit next to her.

“You’re right. About everything. When you touch me, it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I want you and it scares me.”

“Why? There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“You and me, it’s all physical. What happens after?”

“Doll, you worry too much. You need to relax. Just take each day as it comes,” I tell her.

“Okay, and in a couple of weeks, assuming you’re still around, you get what you want. What then?”

“WhatIwant? You just said you want me, too.”

“Yes, but we won’t be friends. I won’t be your girlfriend. What will I be? Your little fuck toy?” she asks, cringing as she says the last words.

“Damn it, Raven! We have fun together and we have crazy chemistry. Why do you need to put a label on it?”

“Because I don’t wanna become Lonnie!”
