“It’s just me. I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Ilaughed.
“Oh, my god! What the hell? That wasn’t funny. I almost shit my pants. I’m notkidding.”
Okay, that was a stupid move – the poor guy. But then my eyes narrowed in on the phone in his hand, or more precisely, the picture on the screen, and I lost all sympathy for him. Apparently Finn was looking at a picture of me: a close-up of my eyes, magnified in full color, from the selfie we’dtaken.
“I was just… uh…,” Finn stumbled over his words as he desperately tried to find the power button. It was so easy under normal circumstances, but now, when his life seemed to depend on it, Finn hopelessly fumbled with his device until it finally, and mercifully, wentblack.
“Please tell me you weren’t rubbing it out in my car?” I asked. Grossly enough, I was almostflattered.
“No,I…no.”
“Relax, I’m kidding. Your hands are in the safe zone. What were you doing with my pictureanyway?”
“I was looking at it. What do you think I was doing? And don’t say spanking the monkey because I wasn’t. If there is one thing I’ve learned about you, it’s that you don’t like messes – oh and you seem to be a bloodhound when it comes to germs and bodily functions, so the last thing I was going to do was jack off inyourcar.”
“Do you like my eyes, Finn?” I teased, batting my lashesforhim.
“Shut up. Leave me alone. I haven’t forgiven you yet. You scared the living hell out of me,” he said, exhaling withrelief.
“Sorry. Let me make it uptoyou?”
“Let me guess – you’re going to get me Super Bowltickets?”
“No. But I probablycould.”
“I don’tdoubtit.”
We stared at one another inamusement.
“How would you like to trade your current digs for the comforts of my hotelcouch?”
Grabbing his backpack, Finn was out the door in a split second and jogging for the entrance to thehotel.
“You coming?” he called over his shoulder. I laughed as I ran up to him and snagged my keys out of his hand. Finn playfully grabbed me and pulled me in tight to his body. It had been his signature move all night, and I was digging his aggressiveness. Breathing heavily, we took in one another with the same intensity that had surprised me earlier in the night. The two of us together were smoldering, and we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. This was a different level of lust, something I’d never experienced. I had to be exceedingly careful tonight, or Finn would steal my heart right out from under me. I pushedhimaway.
“There are rules to my offer. Despite our little make-out sessions, Finn, I have no intention of sleeping with you, so if you come upstairs with me, tonight will be entirelyplatonic.”
“Sure thing, buddy.” Hegrinned.
“Finn?” I narrowed my eyes inwarning.
“What?”
“Don’t look at melikethat.”
“Like what?” Heprotested.
“All hopeful. I promise, you’ll be sorelydisappointed.”
“Relax. I’ll take what I can get. I don’t mean to complain about your first offer, but your gearshift kept going upmyass.”
Laughing, I aimed my keys at the car andlockedit.
“You’re not going to roll up thewindows?”
“Nah, I need to air it out,” I replied, crinkling my nose in a display ofdisgust.
“Again, no jizz was expelled into your vehicle tonight. Letitgo.”
