Rory looked over at Patrick. "It looks like he might like the guy he's talking to right now."
"Damn it, this isn't even about Patrick. I don't even know him."
"Wait. Are you serious? I'm shocked and appalled that you would lie to me. You've absolutely never done that before."
"Ugh." I stormed off to go find Emily. I had never been more embarrassed in my life.
Chapter 15
"Clearly he knows that you were talking about him," Emily said.
"Yeah, he's just been messing with me this whole time." The party was winding down and there were only a few people left. Surprisingly, Rory was just talking to a few of his guy friends.
"Well, he did tell you to make the first move. Maybe he wants you to come on to him."
"I've been flirting with him all night. I think I'm done embarrassing myself."
"I'm sorry that your master plan didn't work. It's probably better that it didn't, though. If he doesn't want a relationship, it's going to be so awkward living with him once you've had sex. Like...really awkward, Keira."
"I know."
"It's getting late. I'm going to head out, okay?"
"Okay." Emily gave me a hug and left me alone on the couch. A few minutes later, Rory sat down next to me.
"I'm surprised that you're alone," I said.
"Yeah, well, someone kept interrupting me all night long."
"Well I'm sure that person wasn't trying to be annoying."
"She wasn't. She was more cute than annoying."
Cute? I didn't want him to think I was cute. "I think she was probably going for sexy."
"I kind of got that vibe. She's definitely sexy. But she's also cute and innocent, and doesn't exactly know what she's getting herself into."
"I think she realizes what she's getting herself into."
"Well, it doesn't matter because she's also completely off limits."
"Which makes it sexier, doesn't it?" I put my hand on his thigh. Maybe it's not too late.
Rory looked into my eyes. "Damn it, Keira, what are you doing?"
"I'm following your advice." I thought about the girl he had liked during strip poker. She had been really forward. She had even straddled him at one point. I took a deep breath and straddled Rory on the couch.
His Adam's apple rose and fell. "I've noticed."
"Please don't make me beg."
His hands slowly slid up my thighs and grabbed my waist. "This isn't what you want, Keira."
"Yes it is." I could feel his erection growing beneath me. I had never wanted something so badly in my life.
"You have no idea how to have a one night stand."
"Maybe you can show me."
