would be good, but I didn't know how good. No wonder you can't stay away from him." She once told me he gave her an orgasm the first time they had sex. I'm still having trouble with that one. I've been with two different guys, and there wasn't an orgasm in sight with either of them. The few I've had have been during foreplay. And only with Eric.
Quincy's face falls, her smile faltering for a second before it returns. "He does make me feel things I've never felt before." She pauses before turning to me and taking my hands in hers. "Jenna, I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell Declan."
Now, this is a surprise. "Really? What made you decide to do it?"
"I just kind of realized that I'd never be happy if I kept holding onto my insecurities. It's not fair to Declan or any of us. I mean, it's not like the world will end if things don't work out with Brody, right?" She squeezes my hand, like maybe she's trying to convince herself instead of me.
"Oh, don't you worry about that, girl. I think things are going to be just fine." And I believe it. I'd never steer her wrong, not on purpose.
"I hope you're right. Either way, I can't keep doing what I'm doing." She means the sneaking around, but my mind goes elsewhere. Just call me 'gutter Jenna'.
I clear my throat. "Oh, yeah. I think you can. Getting your panties ripped off by the hottest guy on campus? Can I say 'more, please'?"
Finally, a real smile. "That is pretty great." She looks around, blinking rapidly, as if she just realized we're still standing in the middle of the bra aisle. "Come on, we've got some shopping to do. Don't buy anything you're attached to. They might not make it through the weekend." She laughs at my raised eyebrows. "I'm just sayin'."
Like two teenagers, we giggle as we search the store for the perfect 'tools' of persuasion. I leave with two bags filled with various matching bra and thong sets, some lotion, and two sexy camisoles. I'm going to set my guy on fire tonight, but he's only going to get a sneak preview of what's to come. All of this talk about ripping clothes off has given me a few ideas.
What was it he said about patience?
I'm going to make him eat those words. And he's going to like it.
Chapter 10
Eric
Seth and his infinite words of wisdom. What he said has been on my mind all afternoon. He made his point. Sure, he got Brody riled up just to show that he really cared about Quincy, but he was proving a point to me, too.
Is Jenna worth it?
Hell yes, she is.
Now, I've just got figure out how to show her she's more important than a damn bet. Guitars come and go, but there's only one chance to get the girl of your dreams.
Declan is a damn genius. He challenged me to get to know her, to take my time with her. And I have. I've listened to her thoughts, her dreams, and even her girly gossip. I've gone to sleep at night with her body pressed against mine and realized I don't like sleeping alone. I don't want to lay down or wake up without her beside me ever again.
When I left the bar, I went to the mall and picked up a few things. Scented candles, bath salts, massage oil, and some strawberries. Not only am I going to make our first time together special, I'm going to prove my feelings for her. There's no way that's going to happen in my room at the house, so I'm going to wait for our first night in Asheville.
Everything with Jenna is different, more intense, than it's ever been before. She has a way of seeing things, of showing things to me, that makes everything so much... better.
Take, for instance, the first time I saw her naked. Men are just wired to notice women, to be turned on by their soft curves and delicate lines, but when she slowly revealed herself to me, I was beyond turned on. It was like an out of body experience.
I had been trying to treat her like a lady, taking her to dinner, the movies, even a damn play. At first, it was a distraction, an insurance plan, to keep things from getting out of hand so I wouldn't lose
