Page 72 of The Path to Loving Him
This euphoric state I’m in.
I drag my hand over my forehead, smelling her on my fingers. It only reminds me of how she tastes and how she reacts to me when I touch her. She’s so open sexually, so willing, which makes this so much harder because I want to explore, I want to?—
“What’s with the pained expression?” she asks as she walks up to me, her robe now on and a wet washcloth in her hand.
She drops in front of me and starts cleaning my dick off.
“Keep doing that, and you’re going to make me hard again.”
She smirks. “Can’t have that.” She finishes and takes the washcloth back to the bathroom. I reluctantly follow and slip my joggers on just as she returns to the kitchen.
“So what was the pained expression for?”
“Just thinking,” I say, keeping my distance.
“Thinking how you’re going to handle this moving forward since I’m your assistant coach, colleague, and tenant?”
“To name a few things.”
“Simple,” she says with a shrug. “We become friends.”
I lift a brow. “Yeah, I don’t see how that will help.”
“Well, I’m a mystery to you at the moment. You know very few things about me, which is enticing. All you know is that the sex is amazing.”
“Yeah . . .”
“Well, maybe if you knew more about me, then you would be more willing to hate me, which then decreases the appeal to have sex with me.”
I scratch the side of my cheek. “Doubtful. Hate sex is a real thing.”
“Would it help if I told you that I like to eat cheese and ketchup sandwiches?”
“What?” I ask, finding that slightly appalling.
“Yeah, ketchup and cheese on two pieces of bread.” She does the chef’s kiss motion. “Delicious.”
“That’s disgusting.”
“Add some Doritos in the sandwich as well, and you have my favorite thing to eat for lunch.”
“Jesus.” I cringe.
“And I like to wash it down with grapefruit juice.”
I shake my head. “No, no, you fucking don’t.”
“I do,” she says. “It’s a fantastic combination.”
“I thought you said you wouldn’t lie to me.”
“I’m not lying. Dead serious. I love it.”
I feel my gag reflex activate. “Why the fuck would you come up with that combination?”
“It’s all that was available, all we could afford. So I became accustomed to it.”
I pause for a second, my mind remembering something. “Wait, you were Bennett’s guardian, weren’t you?”
