and fast inside of me. Just the thought of it was enough to make me wet. I
had to get this over with .
    “I want you,” Jaxon said, blurting it out all at
once. He looked at me levelly, his voice flat, only the faintest trace of a
smile on his face. “I know it’s fucked up and I shouldn’t, but I do.”
    “I know,” I said, clenching my teeth, trying to push
down the rising feeling of need that threatened to overwhelm me. “I want you
too. Fuck—you have no idea! But we can’t, Jaxon.”
    “We could,” he said. “No one here knows about our
parents. I’m definitely not going to tell anyone about that stupid shit— are you?” I shrugged. I didn’t really think I would. It was
just too weird. “So we could see each other while we’re here on campus. No
one’s going to care.” I shook my head.
    “We can’t, Jax . I mean, it
was hard enough to be around you at Bob’s house and we hadn’t had sex in
weeks—we weren’t able to go more than a couple of days without screwing!” I
shook my head again. “Imagine how much harder it would be for both of us to
have to pretend like everything is fine and dandy and
normal and we don’t even see each other that way if we’re seeing each other
here.” Jaxon pressed his lips together, looking down at his feet.
    “My dad’s oblivious anyway,” he said, smiling
hopefully. “And as long as we just give each other space at home…”
    “No. Jaxon—if we pulled it off, do you know how it
would go? They’d make us spend time alone together and we wouldn’t be able to
help ourselves. And then they’d catch us again, and then it would be a big ugly
mess again. We can’t do it. You know we can’t.”
    “What do you want to do?” Jaxon combed his fingers
through his hair, slipping his beanie completely off of his head. It was
impossible for me not to notice how good he looked, his hair all mussed. I
swallowed and took a deep breath.
    “We just have to let it pass,” I said finally. “If
we just…if we give each other some space, and time, it’ll go away.” It felt
like a lie; but I couldn’t think of anything else to do. I couldn’t deal with
having Jaxon as both a brother and a boyfriend—it would just be too much. Too weird. Jaxon looked like he was about to continue
arguing; I steeled myself, knowing that it would be hard. That I might have to
tell him over and over again and he still might not get it. But the next moment
he sighed and groaned, cradling his head in his hands and looking down at the
floor for what seemed like five minutes.
    “If that’s the way you need it to be—if you think it
will work—let’s do it.” He looked up at me, closing his eyes a moment and then
opening them again. “You’re right. We can’t do it both ways. At least… at least
this way we can still be around each other and our parents won’t flip out.” I
laughed.
    “Yeah, that’s a silver lining at least.” I fidgeted,
picking at something on my shirt sleeve. I hated how I felt, even if I couldn’t
really define it. Part of me wanted—so much—to go along with Jaxon’s idea. But
it was too easy to see how it would play out. More and more
ugliness, more and more stress. It was just better to do it this way.
“It’ll be okay,” I said, forcing myself to smile. “You’ll find some sorority hottie and be like ‘Mia who?’ in like, a couple of weeks.”
    Jaxon rolled his eyes. “Yeah,
sure. I’m all about dating sorority hotties .”
He snorted. “I don’t like it—I’m not going to lie. But I know we can’t keep
doing this. If this is the answer, that’s what we have to do.” I nodded slowly.
I didn’t like it any more than he did—but it was one way, maybe the only way,
out of the situation we were in. “Go on downstairs before they come up to find
out if we’re trashing the room fighting.”
    I rolled my eyes. “Game like the
one that was just on? I’m sure they’re all way too busy trashing the
teams and not worrying about
