Why couldn’t I just ask her out on a date?
But if I did that, she would walk away.If she knew I was Dylan, she’d never even look at me.
“Why is it urgent?”I asked her, interrupting her thought process.“You mentioned it in your text.That you wanted to meet today.”
“Oh, that’s because I’m planning to seduce someone soon and I need to be prepared,” Katie said nonchalantly, tilting her head as if it was a casual statement she said every day.
“What?”I tried not to gape.She wanted to seduce someone?Why?“What do you mean by planning to seduce someone?”
She frowned, our shoulders brushing, and I was never going to wash that shirt ever again.“It’s… not important to share that with you,” she said, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.“I just want to get better at seduction, flirting, teasing, foreplay, kissing, handjob, blow?—”
“Okay!” I said loudly, standing up and running a hand through my hair.I was afraid I would burst in my pants like a fucking teenager just from her saying the word ‘blowjob.’“I get it.You want to be confident with your… skills.”
Katie nodded slowly.“You could say that.”
“You could have done that with anyone.Why hire me?”Why make me so confused about my feelings?Why did you put me in this position?
She hummed and replied, “I want to be the best at what I do.And what better way to learn those things than from a professional?Don’t you agree?”
“You want me to… teach you all of that?”I asked, my voice low.I could feel myself getting warmer, the temperature in the room was heating me up.
“Of course,” she said with a small smile andohmyfuckinggod—I was going to combust.In.My.Fucking.Pants.“I want you to teach me that and more.”
More?
I stared at her.The woman of my dreams.Waiting patiently for me to do something.But how could I?I didn’t want to teach her anything just so she could go and seduce another man.
It hurt to have her so close to me but want someone else.
Why did I waste my time trying to be the best?
I shook out of those thoughts and asked, “How much do you know so far?”
I was a selfish bastard.So what.She doesn’t recognize me?So she wanted to get better at sex so she could seduce someone else?So.Fucking.What.I would not let her get away when she’s the one who approached me first.
I will teach her everything so well that she will never look at another man while I’m alive and breathing.
“Nothing.”
I blinked.“Huh?”
“I said nothing,” she repeated.“I don’t know anything.”
“What are you…” My lips parted.“Wait.No.What?”I shook my head and asked, “A-are you a… virgin?”
Katie said, “Yes, I am.”

I’M READY
DYLAN
“I’m a virgin,” Katie said, her words striking a chord in me, echoing and bouncing around my head like a ping-pong ball.
“How?”That word slipped out before I could comprehend what I was saying.
“How?”Katie repeated, tilting her head.“How am I a virgin?”
