揑抦 nervous.?
揇o you want to stop??
揋od, no.?Her quick admission makes her laugh. She sits up and reaches for the band of my jeans.
While she unzips me, I pull my T-shirt over my head and then hers.
It抯 no easy feat getting me out of my jeans in this small space, but with a little maneuvering and a whole lot of dedication to the task, I lay back down next to Daisy with only her silky panties and bra and my boxers between us.
I hold her face as I kiss away her nerves, then let my hand travel down her neck, over the valley of her breasts and her stomach, before resting on her upper thigh. I tease along the edge of her panties, finally sliding one finger underneath, then another.
She holds perfectly still until I brush the pad of my fingers along her slit. Her hips jump.
揑f I come in like three seconds, should I be embarrassed and never show my face again??
Chuckling, I push two fingers inside of her and drag my thumb along her clit.
She mutters something indecipherable under her breath.
揘o, Daisy,?I whisper against the corner of her mouth. 揧ou shouldn抰 be embarrassed. But if you come on my fingers in three seconds, my ego might not fit in this tree house.?
Her laughter is disguised under her whimpers as I glide in and out of her slick heat. My heart feels like it抯 going to explode in my chest.
It takes longer than three seconds, but her orgasm splinters through her in the most beautiful display. Her body arches and she kisses me like she needs the air from my lungs to survive.
As the last tremors die, she melts into the blanket.
揟hat was厰 Her voice trails off. She smiles, eyes closed. 揟hank you.?
Yeah, that was definitely a compliment.

DAISY
I wasn抰 lying when I told Jordan that I wasn抰 a virgin. Only once with my high school boyfriend, but with Jonathon, a physics major I dated last year, we had sex lots. Okay, not lots, but pretty often. He ended up transferring back home at the end of the year. It wasn抰 exactly fireworks, but he was nice, and we had a lot in common.
So, while I haven抰 had loads of sex with a ton of people, I抳e punched in my V card. With Jonathon, though, we didn抰 do much else besides sex. Kissing led to undressing, and from there, it was pretty much straight to sex with maybe a boob squeeze or two for foreplay.
I didn抰 even know enough to realize how I was missing out. And oh, how I was missing out. I can say now without a doubt that what Jordan did with just his fingers was a thousand times better than what Jonathon did while actually screwing me.
And now I realize I don抰 know how to return the favor.
Jordan pushes his boxers past his hips, letting his dick spring up. He strokes himself once slowly as he scans my body from head to toe.
揝how me what to do??I place my hand under his.
He抯 hard and smooth, and at my touch, his dick leaks with precum. He repositions his hand, so he抯 covering mine. I readjust so I抦 holding him in the same spot he was, and slowly he pumps our hands up and down his length.
His gaze drops from me to his dick, and he sucks in a breath through his teeth. The muscles in his stomach contract, and I want to run my finger along the outline of his six-pack. Well, not now. You couldn抰 pay me enough to move my hand right now.
I抦 dizzy with the excitement of touching him like this and the look of pure ecstasy that washes over his face.
He picks up the speed, moving our hands faster. I lean over and place a kiss on the head. He抯 salty on my lips, and my tongue darts out to taste more of him.
揙h, fuck,?he mutters. He guides me by the neck with his free hand, pulling me closer and crushing his mouth to mine as he lets out a guttural groan. He stills our joined hands but continues kissing me as his dick jumps in my palm.
With a final nip of my bottom lip, he pulls away and lets his head fall back. His fingers unravel from around mine, and he pulls off his sock to clean himself up.
It makes me giggle, and he shoots me a sheepish grin.
揇o you want to stay over??I抦 already imagining how to get him inside and up to my room without my roommates seeing.
揑 should go.?
揜eally??My face burns with what I guess is embarrassment at being so eager. He hooks up with lots of girls, this isn抰 a major thing to him.
He brings his hand back up to my neck and says, 揟his was amazing. Tonight, you梐ll of it. I have an early workout in the morning, and all my shit is at the dorm.?
揙kay.?
A lump forms in my throat, and my eyes sting like I might cry. Stupid, I know. Of course he can抰 just stay over. Tonight was just?everything. And I don抰 want it to end.
We get dressed in silence, and then Jordan goes down the ladder first. I toss him the blanket, pillow, and flashlight, then start climbing.
Halfway, he grips me by the waist and lifts me in the air, spinning me around and loosening the knot forming in my chest. He sets me on the ground in front of him.
揗y ankles are cold.?He pulls his socks from the pocket of his jacket.
揝orry about that.?I laugh at his bare ankles.
揑抦 not.?He raises a hand to my face, stroking his thumb over my bottom lip before bringing his mouth down on mine.
I could keep kissing him all night, but he pulls away and backs toward the side yard that leads to the front of the house. 揕ater, sweet Daisy.?
The hockey team has an away game during the week, leaving me by myself in physics lab. Professor Green moves me, yet again, to a new group for the day. It isn抰 the same without him. Jordan, that is. I don抰 know how it happened, but it stopped being Liam I was excited to see in class and who occupied my daydreams.
He texts every day, usually multiple times, but I still worry that whatever is happening between us means a lot more to me than it does to him.
Wednesday night, Violet gathers us all in the living room. She抯 in full ball prep mode. Winter break is in two weeks, and the ball is the week we return.
揟able decorations are set,?Violet says. She looks to Jane. 揧ou抮e bringing everything back with you??
揑抣l have it shipped, but it will be here. I promise.?
Violet nods. 揊lowers are still good, Daisy??
揧es.?
She keeps staring at me.
揑 will go by tomorrow and quadruple check.?
My cousin grins. 揟hank you.?
Once Violet is satisfied that everything is going to plan, the conversation falls to dates.
揈ric抯 coming with me,?Jane says. 揢nless I find a boyfriend before then. Do you think I could pay that cute boy who棓
揘o,?we all shout at once.
She just shrugs.
揑 don抰 want the stress of asking someone to be my date.?Dahlia shakes her head. 揃ut I抦 hoping to dance with lots of cute boys at the party.?
揑抦 going solo too,?Violet says, then looks to me. 揂re you going to ask Liam??
揙h.?I swallow. All eyes are on me. 揘o. He probably has a game or practice or something.?
揃ut he抯 bringing the flowers, right??
揧eah.?
揝o, he obviously doesn抰 have an away game that weekend. He can come after if they have a game.?
揧ou should ask him,?Dahlia encourages, and Jane nods.
揑抣l think about it.?
I don抰 like keeping things from my friends, but I抦 not sure where Jordan and I stand. Plus, I know what Violet will say. He抯 a player, he抣l hurt me, yadda yadda. And I don抰 want to think about how she might be right.
Jordan texts Thursday evening, and I go out to the tree house to wait for him.
I抦 bundled up in a blanket, sketching, when I hear him on the ladder. I toss my notebook and turn the flashlight in his direction.
