Without speaking he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close. It was so unexpected that I didn’t even realize it was happening until our lips brushed. He tasted of alcohol again, which in turn made me pull back in shock. Was this guy an alcoholic?

“Sorry, I’ve been thinking about doing that all damn day.”

I wiped my face with the back of my hand, not wanting the scent to linger for longer than it should have. “I suppose you’re here for your phone.”

“Well, yeah, but-.”

“Please don’t make this awkward, Seth. We both know last night was a mistake. I know you just got out of a relationship, and honestly I’m havin’ a hard time knowing that you and Amber were involved. Friendships are hard to come by, so I’m not really at a point where I want to risk ruinin’ any for some guy.”

He seemed shocked before shaking his head with a gruffly smirk. “Go out with me.”

“What? Did you not hear anything I said to you?”

“Yeah, I heard you. I’m choosing to ignore it. I had a great time last night, and frankly I needed it. I’m not going to lie. I think you’re sexy, and being with you was a great reprieve. I get that you don’t want to damage new friendships, but I can assure you that Amber and I are nothing.”

“And your ex?” I had to ask, because I certainly didn’t want her to come looking for me.

“We’re through. That bitch has issues, and I’m done with it. Now, how about that date?”

With my hands now on my hips I peered into his eyes, desperately searching for another reason to decline his offer. “You’re relentless.”

“I know what I want and am confident I can have it again.”

It was no exaggeration that this guy was attractive. I half expected his head to explode after his comment, but he just stood there relaxed, as if he had no care in the world. I didn’t know whether to feel annoyed or impressed. “Can I think about it?”

I handed him the cell phone as I spoke.

He looked down at it noticing that I’d turned it off. “Is it dead?”

“No. I shut it off.”

“Did it ring a lot?”

“I turned it off after we spoke. I had dinner with my parents, and didn’t want it goin’ off in my purse. If you’re worried about me goin’ through it, don’t. I have no interest in your business.” The truth was that I had morals. Snooping wasn’t something I needed to do. It wouldn’t bring me happiness, so it was irrelevant.

“Damn, well you might be the only chick on the planet.” His face was so close to mine. “Your accent does things to me. I could listen to you talk all night.”

I sighed and responded, “That’s flatterin’. If you haven’t noticed, I’m not like other women.”

“No, you’re not. That’s why I’d like to see you again, and I don’t mean in class. Let me take you to a movie. It’s my treat. Just come out and do something normal with me. We don’t even have to touch.”

I don’t know why I couldn’t resist this man standing in front of me. My mind was saying no, but my body was eagerly begging to see where it would take me. “I don’t know.”

“What’s your number?”

“If I give you my number will you let me think about the movie?”

“Only if I get to kiss you one more time.”

I snatched his phone and plugged my number in before I could change my mind. Without wasting a single moment, my body urged forward as my lips pressed gently over his. I kept my eyes open, watching as he closed his. Pulling away became hard when I felt his hands cupping my face. In a matter of seconds his tongue entered my mouth and my kiss goodbye turned into something altogether different.

I pulled away only a few minutes in, catching my breath after someone yelled out of a car window for us to get a room. Embarrassed over my public display of affection, I took his hand, leading him inside with me.

It was wrong to want Seth after one kiss, but following the stress I’d dealt with at the ranch it was the distraction I needed. He didn’t boast as we walked through the living room, saying nothing to my roommates who were watching television. My bedroom door closed and we were right back to where we were the night before.

Seth lifted my shirt over my head, highly intent on what was to come next. This time I refused to hold off the inevitable. Reaching for his pants, I opened the fly and shoved them down, including his boxer shorts. A stiff erection pressed over my stomach the next time our lips met. Seth pulled away only in as much time it took to lift the shirt over his head. Our teeth clanked as we kissed while marching backwards to my bed.

I kicked my pants off my feet and backed up on the mattress. Seth stood for a moment taking in my naked body. I licked over my bottom lip, dragging my teeth as I did it. His abs were pronounced, and I got chills imagining the way it had felt to run my hands over them the night before.

“I bet this wasn’t how you saw things going,” he teased. Seth’s body came down overtop of mine. He rolled us over, as his hand gripped the cheeks of my ass. With his guidance I began moving my horny body over his. Low groans vibrated over his lips when we kissed again.

“Don’t talk.” I didn’t want a reason to change my mind. This was necessary for me. I craved release and he was going to give it to me. I figured this was a win-win scenario for Seth. He wanted sex, and I was giving it to him. Plus, he didn’t have to take me out to get some. In a matter of minutes we were naked in my bed.

Once he’d located a condom and put it on, we were back on the mattress tangled together. Seth reached his hand between my legs feeling how turned on I already was. In my eyes it was embarrassing. All he’d done was kiss me, and I was eager to spread open.

Seth had other ideas.

He tugged on my arms, forcing me to sit up. Our gaze met and I was resolved to go along with whatever he had in mind. As he stood, I knew right away what it implied, although I wasn’t sure if I wanted to proceed. Oral sex was very personal to me, and with my not having any experience I feared that I was probably horrible at it. In all honesty it was breaking my focus, causing me to rethink having intercourse with him.

I had a better idea to break his attention, and get him to participate in something else. With no warning I flipped my body around, getting on all fours. My ass stuck high in the air, right in front of his face. His hands spread over the skin on my ass, gently caressing each side. I shimmied as he did it, teasing him with the view. Another groan sounded from behind me. At first I felt his erection pressing at the base of my asshole. I shifted so he knew I wasn’t down for that. “Let me,” he begged.
