“That’s ok.” She looked up at me and grinned. “I think you’re awesome so I’ll forgive you.”
Something inside me warmed and I could feel myself harden. Jesus, how was some drunk crazy girl getting me hard?
I stroked her face. “I think you’re awesome, too.” She grinned, closed her eyes, and put her head on my chest.

Ethan
She had barely said two words to me this morning. Rory was driving us to the Hamptons, which meant I could work, but I couldn’t concentrate with her next to me. Not to mention the hard-on that I’d had for 12 hours.
“How are you feeling?” I asked her again.
She grunted and curled her legs under her. She was wearing her sunglasses so I couldn’t see her expression.
“A little delicate?” I suggested.
She nodded. “With a good dose of humiliation thrown in.”
“There’s nothing for you to feel humiliated about. You’re a cute drunk. I’ve seen a lot worse.”
“Oh god. Don’t, Ethan. God knows what I said to you last night. I’m so embarrassed.” She turned to face the window. I unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her over onto my lap. Her body was limp and unresponsive.
“Listen to me,” I said as she put her head in her hands. Iwasn’t sure if she was crying. “Listen to me,” I repeated, pulling her hands away. “You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You didn’t say anything. You introduced me to the cocktail list in the bar, and then when I got you upstairs you passed out in your clothes. It was a pretty uneventful evening.”
“We didn’t have sex?”
“I’m not going to have sex with you passed out. I might have a permanent hard-on with you around, but Jesus, I can control myself.”
“God. We’re meant to be having a sex-filled fling. I’m not holding up my end of the bargain very well.” Her hands went back to her face. I pulled them away.
“Beautiful, we’re having plenty of sex, and we’regoingto have plenty of sex this weekend, believe me.”
“And I didn’t say anything to embarrass myself?” she asked.
“Like what?” What was she so worried about?
She shrugged.
“No. You told me you thought I was awesome.”
She groaned.
“Why’s that embarrassing? I am awesome,” I said and I grinned at her.
She laughed, which made me smile.
“I told you I thought you were awesome, too,” I said.
“You did?”
I nodded.
“Ok. I’m starting to feel a little more human.”
“Can you lose the shades? I miss your eyes.”
She shook her head. “I need carbs and three gallons of water before the shades comeoff.”
