Rhett (Rhett #1)(41)
Author: J.S. Cooper

“You had o**l s*x with me.” She said stiffly and I felt myself growing warm at the memory of her supple body beneath mine.

“I eat pu**y good. Don’t I?”

“You’re a pig.” She gasped.

“I’m just being honest.”

“I know it didn’t mean much to you, Rhett, but it meant something to me.” Her voice broke and my heart stopped for a second.

“I’m sorry.” I gave her a quick look and reached out and touched her shoulder. “It meant something to me as well. Ignore me. I’m being a jerk.”

“It would hurt me if I found out you’d been with anyone else.” She sighed. “Not before obviously, but now.”

“What do you mean?” The words coming out of my mouth sounded distant to my ears.

“I mean, if you went and slept with a girl tomorrow, it would hurt me.”

“I’m not going to be sleeping with a girl tomorrow.” I gave her a quick smile. “Unless it’s you.”

“This is difficult.” She sighed and nibbled on her lower lip. “Take the next left by the way.”

“Okay.” I got into the left hand lane and turned on my indicator. “What is difficult?”

“How do we navigate this?” She sighed and I could see her staring at me.

“Navigate what?” I could feel my face growing hot. She wasn’t turning into that girl already, was she?

“I know you don’t do relationships.” She said softly. “I don’t expect you to change for me. I just don’t know what we do next? Do we continue to mess around and stay friends? Do we hook up and see what happens?”

“What do you mean and stay friends?” I pulled off to the side of the road and turned off the ignition and turned to face her. “We’re staying friends, period. There is no option where we don’t stay friends. Do you understand that?”

“I do.” She nodded and looked at me with wide eyes. I could see the fear in her brown eyes. She was already having doubts about what we’d done. I couldn’t say I blamed her. I wouldn’t have wanted her to hook up with someone like me.

“Let’s just see what happens.” I shrugged and grabbed her hands. “Not much has to change. We’ll just do what we always did, but when we sleep over now, we don’t have to wear any clothes.” I grinned at her and she gave me a small smile.

“You think it’s going to be that easy.” She licked her lips quickly and I couldn’t stop myself from moving forward and kissing her. Her eyes widened as my tongue slipped into her mouth and my lips sucked on her tongue. I pulled back after a few minutes and nodded.

“It will be that easy.” I grinned. “I have no problem sleeping naked with you.”

“What about…” She mumbled and paused.

“What about what?” I frowned and tilted my head.

“What about sex?” She looked down and blushed.

“We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.” I grabbed her chin and brought up her face to look at me. “We’ll go at your pace.”

“Why do I think you don’t normally say that?” She smiled at me and I laughed.

“Maybe because I don’t.” I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. “I don’t want anything to change between us, Clementine. I just want this to be another perk of our friendship.”

“I see.” She nodded slightly.

“Friends with benefits if you will.” I nodded, pleased at the conversation. “Or rather, best friends with benefits.”

“You’re not going to mess around with anyone else are you?” She frowned and I felt myself starting to feel sick again. I wasn’t sure why she wanted to have this conversation right now, but I couldn’t just walk away and ignore her.

“I’m not going to hook up with anyone else.”

“Good.” She smiled. “It makes me feel better knowing you haven’t been with anyone in a while as well. I know that sounds cheesy, but it helps that I don’t feel like sloppy seconds.”

“You could never be sloppy seconds.” I ran my finger down her cheek and sighed inwardly. I felt like I should tell her about Penelope, but I wasn’t sure how she would react. It was before we had hooked up, but not very much before. And Penelope was her friend. I didn’t feel like she would appreciate the fact that we’d nearly had sex.

“I’m glad you’re not going all crazy and into Rhett panic mode.” She smiled and leaned forward and stroked the hair by my ears. Her eyes were warm and she looked happy and content. “I know this is new for both of us, but I really think that this could be good for both of us.”

“Let’s not talk about it anymore.” I leaned forward and kissed her again. “I’d rather be doing something else.” I reached down and cupped her breast and smiled as she squirmed against me.

“Rhett.” She groaned against my lips as I pinched her nipple.

“Yes, Clementine.” I licked her lips as my fingers moved to her other breast.

“I want to get out of this car.” She moaned as she tried to move in the seat.

“We can go back home.” I nibbled on her lower lip. “I can turn around now.”

“No.” She moaned and pulled back, her eyes filled with lust. “No, we’re going to go and see your mom.”

“Fine.” I sighed and pulled away. “Your loss.”

“Maybe later.” She bit her lower lip and looked away.

“Maybe later, what?” I froze and looked at her. I could see her face burning red and my c**k hardened as I stared at her hard ni**les.

“Maybe we can move to the next level.” She turned towards me and smiled shyly.

“Next level?” My eyes narrowed as I looked at her. “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”

“Maybe.” She smiled and nodded slightly. “But we have to go to a hotel. I don’t want to do it in your house.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t want to do it somewhere you’ve done it with someone else.”

“Oh.” I tried not to roll my eyes. “None of those girls meant anything to me.”

“I know.” She looked away from me, her face growing red. “I just don’t want to be another notch.”

“You could never be another notch.” I frowned and shifted. My entire body was buzzing with anticipation. I wasn’t sure this was a good idea, but I knew I couldn’t say no to her.
