"Yes, as opposed to a small manmade box. It's stifling."
"Wait, so do you like shower under rain gutters in the city?" She looked like she wanted to laugh at me.
"No. But when I'm in the middle of nowhere, I'm going to choose to shower under a waterfall 100 percent of the time."
"He hates being inside," Matt said. "He's basically a wild animal."
"Oh, she knows I'm a wild animal. Isn't that right, baby?" I winked at her and her face flushed again. Yup, this girl definitely fit all my criteria. "Speaking of which, do you still have any cards left, Matt?"
"A few. I had some duplicates." He pulled out the stack of cards I had given him yesterday. It had definitely dwindled.
I grabbed them out of his hand and lifted up the one I was looking for. "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am." I held the card up to Daphne's wrist and her bracelet fell off. "Two bracelets today, huh? You really are an attention whore."
She held her wrist in her hand, hiding the second bracelet. "Not by choice."
"Sure." I looked through the remaining cards. "This one will do. And this one." I stuffed the two cards in my pocket.
"I only have one more bracelet."
"I know. But you were a naughty girl last night and left me before I could cash in my last card. Which means you owe me a second card. You were even naughtier today when you propositioned me for sex." I had dropped my voice slightly, but it was still loud enough for Matt to hear.
Her green eyes looked slightly bigger. "You're giving Matt a terrible impression of me. I went to his room to apologize to him, Matt. That was it."
Matt smiled. "Sex is always the best apology."
"That's not what I meant. It's just...one thing lead to another..."
"Oh, I get how sex works. I just don't get why you're choosing to have sex with someone who never learned how to assimilate with humans."
Daphne laughed.
"I don't think Daphne is really complaining about my showering habits. I think she'd take me naked wherever she could. Isn't that right?" Teasing her was too easy. And when she blushed like that, all I wanted to do was be inside her tight pussy again. This girl was fucking made for me.
"You're very full of yourself."
"You were full of me earlier."
"Oh my God," she mouthed silently to me and hit my arm playfully.
The elevator doors dinged open. Even though she was pretending to be shocked at what I had just said, she didn't seem to mind when I grabbed her hand. I liked the feeling of fingers being intertwined and I could tell she liked it too.
There was something nagging me in the back of my head though. Why had she suddenly decided to abandon her morals and jump into bed with me before she got to know me? Well, not a bed. More like pressed against a door. Fuck, I'm getting hard again. I tried to think of something serious to dissuade my boner from appearing. She had said she was scared of dying before she knew what living was. I had kind of just assumed she meant before she knew what having sex with me was like. But why was she really scared of dying? And what did she mean by living?
"So what were you apologizing for?" Matt asked. I hadn't told him about last night. And James hadn't because he didn't remember anything.
Daphne looked up at me. "A lot of things actually. And I didn't get to say everything I needed to. We got kind of distracted."
"Geez, all you two do is talk about sex. Get a room."
I laughed. "We had a room. And you tried to walk in on us. And then you persuaded us to come down here with you. I would have been perfectly happy going for round two if you know what I mean."
"Ugh." Matt pushed through the doors to the pool. "You should probably stop talking about sex now or else Mr. Horny Pants is going to start blabbering about how much he misses Penny again. I had no idea how much Penny put out. She's sexy as hell and a freak in the bed? James is a pretty lucky guy."
"Don't talk about her like that, man."
Matt laughed. "Daphne, just as a fair warning, Rob has a constant hard-on for Penny."
What the fuck? I was about to defend myself when Daphne laughed.
"I think it's sweet that he looks out for his future sister in law."
"That's one way to put it. Anyway, you'd think James would eventually whack one off in the bathroom," Matt continued. He was completely oblivious to how much he was pissing me off. "Or if he's anything like you, in the middle of the fucking rainforest." He laughed. "Either way, cool it with the sex talk. I'm sick of James complaining."
Too bad. I had already planned my entrance. As soon as I got over to James and Mason, I sang, "I just had sex," at the top of my lungs. I dropped Daphne's hand and made a thrusting move with my hips. "And it felt so good!" That was one of my favorite songs. The Lonely Island was the best group ever.
James and Mason started laughing. I did a little twirl and pointed at Daphne. "You've got the next set of lyrics, girl," I said to her. "Hit it!"
She immediately covered her face with her hands.
When Mason was able to catch his breath, he said, "Seriously? You're completely mortifying her." He started laughing again.
"Doesn't matter had sex!" I sang. "Saw her boobies and the rest." I stopped singing. "Actually, I didn't see her boobies. We're going to have to fix that."
"You're such an idiot," Matt said. He sat down in one of the chairs.
Daphne slowly lowered her hands from her face. Her cheeks were bright red. "What is wrong with you?"
I laughed. "You know I'm the man of your dreams."
"Not quite."
"Ouch." I put my hands on my chest. "If I had to describe the feeling, it was the best," I sang.
"Stop singing." She pushed my shoulder.
"Was it the best 30 seconds of your life?" James asked, trying to keep a straight face.
"I was kind of trying to avoid those lyrics," I said.
James laughed. "I'm glad you could join us, Daphne. Let me grab you a chair."
"No, it's fine," I said. I grabbed Daphne's waist and pulled her down into the only empty lounge chair with me. "I forgot to tell you that I love to snuggle after sex."
She laughed as she settled between my legs. "How are you so nice and so horrifyingly rude at the same time?"
"Rude? Baby, singing to you was a compliment." I kissed the side of her neck.
"You just told all your friends that we had sex," she hissed back at me.
"Exactly. And it was amazing. Oh sorry, I missed an important lyric." I cleared my throat. "And it felt so good!" I sang.
"Oh my God, stop. You already sang that. I will seriously hit you."
I laughed. "If you did, I would have to tie you up. Bet you wish I wasn't leaving tonight now, huh?"
She looked behind her shoulder at me. Her eyes looked a little sad. "Of course I wish you weren't leaving." She tilted her head back, resting it against my chest. Her hair tickled my skin.
I wrapped my arms tightly around her and rested my chin on the top of her head. She felt so small in my arms. Maybe having me wrapped around her comforted her 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."
