“That’s right.”
I watch him caption the photo with one fire emoji then send it off without a thought.
A fizz of nervous excitement hits my veins.
Something is finallyhappening.
It’s like I’ve been waiting and waiting for what feels like a lifetime for anything to happen in my life.
It’s always been too… predictable.
I was fundamentally alone throughout all of elementary, middle, and high school. At home, I was the oldest ofthree siblings, and my sister and brother were too young to be relatable. At school, I was so quiet that I was ignored.
I finally started looking better in the last year or two, but I’d thought that my first semester at college would be an explosion of action, where people would throw themselves at me during parties and I’d be drowning in sex.
But it’s happening to everyoneelse.
People tell me I’m hot. They say I could get anyone I wanted. But everyone’s always hooking up with someone else, or they’re in a relationship already.
I’ve ended up in bed alone every night.
Still.
Fucking.
Alone.
It’s halfway through fall semester by now, and I’ve failed to get any action at all.
Doing this with Niko is all fake, yes.
But it’ssomething.
A break from the daily monotony of my life.
“So,” Niko says from across the table, finishing a sip of his cherry soda. “When’s the last time you jerked off?”
I lift an eyebrow.
Break from monotony, unhinged model edition.
“Anyone ever tell you you’re a natural at small talk?”
He hums. “I’m an expert at it. Maybe it’s how I should make small talk in the line at the grocery store, too.”
I take a bite of my sandwich and then chug some water, leaning back in the booth seat.
“Why do you care when I last came?”
“Because I want to go back to your room after this and make you strip, have you put your cock in your fist, and get off for me while I film you.”
He sips his cherry soda, lookingat me calmly.
I hate that I’ve always been quick to blush.
I can feel the heat creeping up to my cheeks now, and I know he’s going to be able to see it.
“Damn. Take a guy to lunch first, won’t you?”
