Chapter 6

I heave an exaggerated sigh. “Fine,” I say and roll off, trying to muster just a little grace, as I find myself over-balanced and practically crashing onto her floor.

We both get a good chuckle out of that. And together we convert the couch in Kaitlin’s tiny studio apartment into a passable bedroom for the night.

“Want some water or anything?” she asks just before we tuck in.

I move closer, trying to be as seductive as possible, particularly after that botched dismount from her couch earlier. I wrap my arms around Kaitlin’s neck and stand on tiptoes to kiss her. “I want you.”

“Well,” she smirks, “I am standing here with no pants on.”

I press my lips to hers, and slide my hands from Kaitlin’s neck down to her waist, where I grab onto the hem of her shirt. Just as I’m pulling it up, she reaches a hand around a places it on top of mine.

I have a strong feeling I know what she’s going to say next, and I don’t know if I’m ready for it. My hands start to tremble.
