“Sky! Relax. First I can guarantee that no guy in the history of guys has ever had any of those thoughts. They think with their d*ck first. Using being a male and needing to ‘release”
tension or energy or whatever it is as the excuse. If your mate didn’t save himself for you then he can’t say anything about you doing the exact same thing. Now breathe. If it feels wrong, then it’s wrong. If it feels right, then go for it.”
She shrugs like it’s that easy. “So this is what you are going to do. Keep being your own fabulous self and listen to your gut and your wolf. You have great instincts. Now, go finish our homework so we can get packing. I can’t wait to get back to the compound and get our brands so we can do more on this mission. I get why Jorge and William are getting antsy, this part is taking forever and the only thing we know is that there is a large population of wolves here.”
She hops off my bed and heads for the bathroom, coming out ten minutes later ready for bed, but typing furiously on her phone, lost in concentration. “Who are you texting so aggressively with?” I laugh as she startles out of her thoughts.
“I’m trying to get the names of those two guys that came over to talk to us at dinner tonight. I don’t remember since I was paying more attention to Beth’s boyfriend talking about the campus. But Ellie said they are students too and one of
them was asking about us, like together.” She grimaces then rolls her eyes. “Like, you are hot and I can appreciate all that you have going on, but I just don’t swing like that.” She giggles at me. “But, I was so focused on the conversation I was having, that I didn’t catch what else was going on.” She smacks herself in the forehead. “This is why we need more training, but I guess mistakes on the fly are what we are going to get.”
“Max and Eli.” I say not looking up from my computer.
“What?”
“Max and Eli, are the names you’re looking for. Max is a sophomore and Eli is the same age but a freshman, technically speaking, he took a year off to travel before starting school. They both play basketball, but I couldn’t figure out if they play for the school or if that was just a line.
Max is majoring in business and Eli in sports medicine.”
I look up when she doesn’t respond to find her stopped in her tracks staring at me.
“What?!”
“You barely talk to anyone, how did you get all of that information?”
“Just because I don’t initiate conversation doesn’t mean I don’t listen, idiot.” I laugh at her. “Ellie was flirting hard and asking a ton of questions that seemed kind of invasive, and she really didn’t listen to the answers either.” I roll my eyes.
She just wanted to keep their attention on herself. But it was helpful for us apparently. And what do you mean one of them is asking about us ‘together’ I finish up my last line of English homework, save my progress and close my laptop.
I look at her and hope I have been able to school my face into something curious and not disgusted. Because, like her, I can appreciate how beautiful she is, but that isn’t what I’m interested in either.
O
“Yeah, it’s exactly what you’re thinking.” She laughs, I need to work on my facial expressions, especially when I’m not happy about something. I don’t tend to hide that very well. They asked if we were open to a three or foursome.” She rolls her eyes. “Ellie offered to be one of the three or four if one of us wasn’t interested.”
Now I am openly laughing, this is so stupid. What guy asks that the first time they meet a girl?
“That is all you. I’m not even ready to hold hands or kiss romantically let alone have s*x with additional people in the room.”
“Nah, Ellie can have them, or, at least, break them in and see if it’s even worth it.” She laughs.
