Grinning, I turned to follow him out. “Interesting. I can see why you originally felt the need to tell me I was permitted to sleep with someone if I felt like it.”
Luka sighed. “I’ll admit it; you were right.”
“About?”
“Not trying to make your first introduction symbolic of how the rest of your time here will go. Could you imagine what it would have said if that was the sign of things to come?”
“True,” I said as I followed him.
Privately, I’d enjoyed the conversation with Clay and Cade. The latter was a teddy bear as far as I could tell, but he clearly knew what his best friend was like and wasn’t afraid to call him out on it, a necessary trait for a best friend. He was someone I could picture spending time with and feeling comfortable around. And not just because he wasn’t interested in sex with men, but because that was just the feeling he gave off.
Clay though? Well, I would never tell him because he’d get the wrong idea, but the back and forth was kind of nice. It mademe realize that in my concern about how much or how little I was into sex, I had forgotten how nice it was to have someone who wasn’t waving a credit card be openly attracted to you. It wasn’t going to get him laid, but despite how blunt he’d been, it had been nice to get some attention. Or maybe it was because of that bluntness that I liked it.
Either way, as far as introductions to the people I would be living alongside went, those two hadn’t been that bad.
