“Huh?” His brows tug closer together.

“To see what happens.”

“We did that already.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I think I would want to try it again…”

“Why?” He eyes me suspiciously.

“Clearly, you’re not where I’m at, but I’m wondering if this means something about me, and it would help me figure that out, but maybe it’s only me, so never mind.”

As many questions as he’s got in his head, I have my own too.

“Not sure I’ve ever heard you ramble before.” He nudges my shoulder with his.

“Shut it,” I throw back at him.

“Okay, so no notes on the kiss, then?” He turns to me, quirking a brow.

“Not sure I’ve ever seen you cocky before.” I must admit, it’skind of hot.

“Well, that’s good to know that I’ve been freaking out the past few years of my college life about something that isn’t even a thing for me.”

“Could be worse. We could have had to keep on practicing until you got it right.”

It’s the sort of thing I might’ve teased him about before our kiss, and I detect something in his expression as he studies my lips again.

“Yeah, that would have sucked,” he mutters so low, I’m surprised I can even make out the words.

“I mean…” Before I can finish my thought, he moves quickly, and our jaws clash before his lips are back on mine, Marty pouncing me like an animal, and soon I’m on my back, sliding my hand around his waist as that tongue slips back between my lips.

I’m not sure what the hell he’s doing, and I don’t really care so long as he keeps on kissing me.

Marty

What the fuckis going on?

Ryan is one of the biggest assholes I’ve ever met.

With the most kissable lips, apparently.

Not that I have too much experience with that, but when our lips are locked, all the clutter, all the sound and fury that usually preoccupies my brain finally quiets, allowing me to be absorbed by the pleasure.

Even with all the questions that have come up since we got back to my room.

Am I a shit kisser?

Am I attracted to guys?

Am I queer like my best buds?

Maybe I attacked Ryan with another kiss because this could be the only way to answer these questions. But this could all be because I haven’t had a real kiss in so long, what I did with Ryan finally gave me some much-needed relief.

It was wild.

It was exciting.
