touching my
heart, and it causes a painful thrill to rush through me.
“Do you have
feelings for me?” I ask, not even subconsciously forming those
words before they pop out of my mouth.
Matt goes still
inside of me—even his mouth stops moving against my lips.
Slowly, he raises his head and I’m almost afraid to meet his
gaze, but I do it because I need to know how he feels, and the eyes
are the windows to the soul or some shit like that.
“You really
want to have this conversation now?” he asks, but he doesn’t
seem perturbed by the question. As if to make sure I am aware of all
my options, he flexes his hips so I’ve no doubt that he’s
still deep inside of me. The move feels so good and causes me to bite
down on my bottom lip, my eyes to flutter closed.
He must take that as
acquiescence because he starts a gentle rhythm again, which sweeps me
away in pleasure.
But no… I
want to know the answer. I don’t want to get sidetracked by his
magical penis. “Wait… I do want to talk about this now.”
Matt groans like I
just told him I was sentencing him to death and slowly pulls out,
rolling off me and onto his back. What I’m sure is just for
dramatic flair, he rests the back of arm across his forehead and
sighs. “I can’t believe I just got cock blocked by you…
while I was inside of you.”
I turn over on my
side to face him, now mimicking his earlier pose by resting my head
on my hand. Ignoring the ‘cock block’ comment, I ask,
“Well… do you?”
He’s silent
for a moment, but he turns to look at me straight in the eye.
“Honestly… I don’t know.”
I’m not really
sure what I expected him to say, but I actually did sort of expect
the little pang of hurt from whatever was going to come out of his
mouth. I had been bracing for it because I really didn’t have
high hopes that he was going to profess his mad and undying love.
Not that we were
anywhere near close to that, but it’s more than probable that
Matt is just in this for the convenient and steamy sex. There doesn’t
appear to be much more between us.
But Matt then
surprises me when he says, “I know I hated seeing you with
Carson last night.”
“Nothing is
going on between us,” I assure him.
“I know,”
he says without surety, but then his voice gets hard. “But you
don’t know how bad I just wanted to punch him when he was
dancing with you.”
The possessive tone
in his voice mollifies me a bit. “What is it between you and
Cal?”
“You mean you
didn’t ask him?”
“I did…
but he said it was private.”
Matt gives a
sardonic smile. “And I suppose you’d get in a snit again
if I told you to mind your own business, right?”
“Right,”
I say emphatically.
Rolling over to face
me, he smoothes his fingertips along my jaw. His voice is soft. “I’ll
tell you, but I’m only going to say this once and no questions,
okay?”
I nod at him, about
ready to burst that he’s actually going to share a confidence
with me. Matt’s gaze holds mine, his eyes flicking back and
forth, until he’s sure that he has my full attention. “Cal
used to be my best friend, but he slept with my wife. So I’m
sure you can understand why I hate him.”
Of all the things
that Matt could have told me, I was not prepared for that. I’m
in information overload, and the only thing I can think of to say is,
“You’re married?”
“Sorry. I mean
ex-wife.”
“But, when did
this hap—?”
My words are cut off
as Matt puts his fingertips over my mouth. “No questions.
That’s all you need to know.”
His hand falls away
from my mouth and he stares at me, making sure I’m going to
keep quiet. When I keep my promise and leave all the questions
rattling around inside of my brain, Matt reaches over and pulls me on
top of him.
“Now that I
answered your question, how about you make it up to me?”
“Oh, yeah…
what did you have in mind?” I ask, settling my hips over him
and placing my hands on his taut
