“H-hi,” I responded.
“You alright? You looked kind of upset there.”
I shook my head, trying to snap myself back into the present moment and away from my misery spiral. “I am, yeah—I’m just tired. Dancing too much, I guess.”
He nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I saw you in there. You’ve got some moves, babe.”
Babe?
I tried to laugh, but it came out as a snort, and I hated that I did it immediately. “I don’t even know what I was doing there. I don’t usually party.”
“Same. I’m DD tonight. I came with my friends, but I can’t find them. I think they found people to hook up with. Upstairs is like a full-blown orgy right now.”
I couldn’t deny how incredibly sexy it was knowing he was sober, too. “I’m DD too.”
He laughed. “So, that was you dancing completely sober?”
God, I must have looked like such an idiot. I rubbed my neck, my face no doubt blushing from my embarrassment. “Yeah, I was sober. Considering what a fool I was in there, I know it’s shocking.”
“Not at all,” he corrected. “It’s way sexier seeing someone who can let loose like that without booze. You seem like a lot of fun.”
Sexy? Oh wow. Am I…am I getting hit on?
“I’m from Dobbs Ferry,” he added. “You live around here?”
I nodded and he said, “Look, I don’t know you, and you might not be into this, so, if you’re not, please just take it as the compliment I’d like it to be and not something, but you’re really cute.”
Holy shit, I am getting hit on!
I must have swallowed a hundred butterflies before the party, because they decided to take flight in my stomach at that moment.
Rafael who? He wanted to make me jealous? He wanted to show me he was in charge by dragging me through his fucking games?
Well, fuck that douchebag and his games and his toxic personality. Who needed it when a gorgeous guy called you cute?
“You’re really cute, too,” I added.
“Yeah?”
“Mmhmm.”
He bit his lower lip again, a move I grew increasingly fond of. He had a sexy lower lip too—I wanted to bite on it.
Fuck, I’m turning into such a dick slut. I didn’t even know I was into dicks three weeks ago.
My sexuality had never been a thing I’d thought about. I liked girls because that’s what you did, you know? But, when I experienced the joy of having a dick in my mouth, I realized I had a lot more of myself to explore.
Speaking of dicks in my mouth.
“Wanna head out and talk? I’m not really a party guy anyway.” I knew I was being forward, but I was extremely attracted to this man. I also wanted to forget the asshole in the next room.
He smirked, and I nearly died. “I was actually gonna ask if you wanted to go for a drive and get some fresh air.”
Apparently, I had a thing for bad boys with baseball caps because I was about to bolt to the front door with…wow, didn’t even get his name.
“I’m into that. I’m Cody, by the way.”
“Ross.”
