as much as it comforted me. Why did I suddenly feel sad? I'd see her again. It's not like this was going to be goodbye. With other girls it had been. But I didn't want Daphne to be a onetime thing. I would have done so much more to her perfect body if I knew I was only going to get to experience her once. "I wish I was staying too."

I heard her sigh and she put her arms on top of mine, holding me in place like she thought I was about to run away. But for the first time in my life, I didn't feel like running. I was happy exactly where I was.

"We already ordered," James said. "But we got a ton of food. I can run back to the restaurant real quick and get you something specific if you want, Daphne."

"She's good," I said.

Daphne laughed and leaned back to look up at me. "I'm very particular."

"If you're still hungry, I've got something you'll like for dessert," I whispered in her ear.

"And what is that?"

I tightened my arms around her. "Baby, I'm picturing my cum dripping down your chin as we speak. And your pussy is the only dessert I want."

Her body tensed. "We just had sex," she whispered.

"Quoting The Lonely Island too?"

"No." She laughed. "I'm just stating a fact."

"You're really telling me that you don't want me again right now? Because I want you. Just say the word and I'm all yours, baby."

Chapter 31

Daphne

All mine? He kept saying stuff like that, but it didn't feel like he meant it in the way I wanted. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. What am I doing? I just had sex with a complete stranger.

So why didn't it feel that way? I had never had a one night stand, so I had no idea how it was supposed to feel. But I was pretty sure it didn't involve holding hands and having lunch with the guy's friends.

I opened my eyes and looked down at Rob's legs. They were really hairy. Why did I find that so sexy? They were just legs. I tried to shake away the feeling that I was starting to latch on to him. I couldn't afford to get my hopes up. I wouldn't do that to myself. "Are you getting excited for your wedding, James?" I asked.

A smile spread across his face. "I think excited is an understatement. I've been waiting to marry this girl for two and a half years."

"Such a sap," Matt said.

The waiter placed a tray of burgers down on a nearby table with a dozen beers. I usually ordered burgers with just American cheese, but these burgers were piled high with all the fixings. And I almost never drank beer.

"That looks delicious," Mason said. He was the first to get up. "Not sure if this is up to Daphne's standards, though."

I was surprised when he handed the first burger and beer to me. "Oh, thanks. I'm sure it's great." I was almost positive it was not going to be great, but I didn't want to be rude. It was easy to wait patiently for everyone to get their food, because I wasn't excited to eat it at all. I moved in the seat so that I was facing Rob. He smiled. I liked this almost as much as having his arms wrapped around me.

"Aren't you even going to try it?" Rob asked. "Living is all about trying new things."

I hadn't realized that everyone else was already eating. I was a little embarrassed that I had stormed into Rob's room rambling about not wanting to die before I knew what living was. What did I even mean by that? I just knew that in that moment I wanted him to teach me how he lived. And maybe I wanted to have sex with him. A little. I bit my lip. A lot.

He held out his burger for me. I had my own on my plate, but there was something sexual about him wanting to feed me.

"What's on it?"

"Everything a burger is supposed to have on it."

I laughed. "According to you."

"Sure, according to me. But you should listen to me, Daphne. I think I could make you pretty happy." He put the burger closer to my lips.

He was doing it again. Saying things that I was probably interpreting way wrong. Of course he could make me happy. Just seeing that grin on his face made me happy. He raised his
