“No.” Luke doesn’t even hesitate. “I’m also sure you would prefer to dispose of your virginity without an audience.”
I can feel the heat licking my cheeks. “So the time alone would be for after we all…” I end with a wave of my hands.
“Fuck, princess.” Luke helpfully supplies the word.
Heat swamps my face. I glance around, but the diner is almost empty and everyone we know is partying at Sidney’s. I take in a deep breath and hold it for a moment.
Releasing it, I say, “Is that okay for all of you?”
“Since we’re on the topic of your virginity…” Jack smiles and taps his finger. “Any time frame for that?”
I press my lips together and cross my legs under the table. “Obviously I’m not a prude…”
Heads nod around the table. My face heats. This isn’t awkward at all.
“I don’t know what I’m waiting for.” I fold my hands around my mug. “We’re going fast, which I know is more a you guys thing than a me thing, but my virginity is definitely a me thing.”
“What do you need? Love?” Eli asks. Of everyone, him asking is the most unemotional. He’s the logical one. He hides his emotions.
“I’m not a romantic, but I would like something more than I have a vagina and you have a penis, so let’s fuck.” The whipped cream has begun to melt into my hot chocolate. “I don’t know what that something is. Maybe friendship. Maybe connection. Maybe nothing more than sexual frustration. But right now, something is missing and I’m still…” I swallow and admit, “Afraid.”
No one says anything right away, and my chest aches with the need to breathe.
“What was Ashley talking about earlier?” Luke asks, and my attention goes to his calculating eyes. I take in a breath.
“What do you mean?” I was still a little high off orgasms and pretty drunk when I confronted them.
Holy shit, I confronted the Cheermonsters. My ass is grass.
“They gave you some friendly advice.” Eli leans forward with his elbows on the table.
“Oh, yeah.” I fold my hands in my lap and take a deep breath. “Kenz and I were out to breakfast and Sidney, Ashley, and Emma joined us. Not really joined, more like came over to our table and made themselves comfortable.”
Luke’s hand rests on my thigh, making the butterflies fly around drunk in my stomach. I lift my gaze to his light blue eyes. I should just tell them. I mean, it’s not me that’s going to get in trouble over what the girls said.
Even the tips of my ears burn when I say, “Sidney told me if I couldn’t keep you guys satisfied, they would step in and help.”
“The fuck?” Eli shakes his head. “At least they have lady balls if nothing else going for them.”
“Did they say why?” Luke’s fingers clench into my thigh. I want to say that doesn’t affect me, but those butterflies dive bomb my pussy.
Of course, he wouldn’t let it go at that, so I continue. “It’s some suspicion of theirs that if you don’t get sex often, you guys will rage on the school or something weird like that.”
Luke presses his lips together and looks thoughtful.
“You wouldn’t actually do it though?” Nico asks. “Ask them to step in?”
I shake my head. “No, I don’t want them touching any of you.”
Caden grabs the back of my neck and kisses the hell out of me. I think I hear low voices in the background talking, but Caden consumes me. His tongue slides against mine and my fingers dig into his hair to hold him there. Luke strokes my inner thigh, winding me tight. When Caden finally releases me, I inhale to fill my starving lungs.
“We’ll discuss this later.” Luke catches my attention.
The guys are quiet as the server brings the food over. The fevered need inside me dies down a little, and I suspect Caden was a distraction so the guys could talk. I watch them all and wonder.
“I’m applying to college for next year,” Jack says after swallowing a bite of food. “Not sure what for yet, but I know I want a job that pays a lot. Mom says I should go pre-med, but I’m not sure. I really enjoy working with computers.”
“You hacked my webcam,” I realize.
