“Yeah,” Teddy said, making eye contact with me. “We know it’s bullshit.”
“Good. I don’t want it affecting anything, you know?”
“You mean with Brooke?”
“With anyone. I respect women. I’m not the player they say I am.”
“We know that man. No one really believes it. Don’t worry. Just focus on you.”

She smiled as soon as she walked into my bedroom and saw the colored lights running around the room, setting some kind of mood.
“Ooh, romantic,” she teased.
I shut the door. Unable to resist any longer, I walked over to her and put my hands on her waist. We made eye contact a moment before I leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
“Now I see your plan.”
“Yeah? You like?”
She nodded her head.
“I do.”
“You know I really care about you, right?” I wondered if she had read some of the tweets, if she believed any of it.
“Austin, yes. I’m sorry I was so cold the other morning. It just all seemed so dumb. Who cares what people post online?”
“I know, you’re right.”
“And if Jocelyn was involved, I’ll fix it, I promise.”
We kissed again, my hands roaming all over her body. She fumbled with my jeans, unbuttoning them. When her small, delicate hand slipped into my underwear, I took a deep breath.
As she tugged at my dick, I lifted her shirt. She let go of me and lifted her arms into the air, allowing me to take it all the way off. I quickly reached around and unstrapped her bra.
It fell to the floor with no fanfare, exposing her perfectly shaped breasts. I placed my hand over one, squeezing, as I bent my head to take her other nipple into my mouth.
The taste and texture drove me wild. I’d always been a nipple man. They fascinated me. I felt her hand slide my jeans down along with my underwear.
I stepped back and took off my shirt while she removed the rest of her clothes. We were soon standing completely naked in front of each other.
“Austin,” she whispered.
“Yeah?”
I moved forward and put a hand on her waist.
“Let’s go slow tonight, okay?”
“Sure,” I said, nodding my head.
She smiled, making her look even more beautiful. After taking my hand in hers, she led me to my bed. I kissed her again as we stood next to it.
Her soft, silky skin contrasted with my hard flesh in a way that drove me crazy. I wanted to protect her, fuck her, make her mine forever.
Did she even understand what she did to me?
