CHAPTER 2: THE LIST

There had to be some sort of explanation for my reaction right now. I'd spent all day furious at Ayabonga for last night, and here he was, convincing me for a repeat?

And I was saying yes. God, was I saying yes.

My entire body was saying yes, please. I felt like I was on fire and he was the only one who could put me out. I wanted to run behind him and take him up on everything he was offering.

So… why couldn't I move?

My feet were glued to the floor and my ass to the seat. Everything inside of me was screaming — go! My brain, however, was whispering — watch out. It was one thing having a one-night stand with a hot guy, but… repeating it — and with him, specifically? I was going to get attached. I didn't want to. I was going to try not to, but… what if I did? I'd never done the one-night-stand thing before, and the only people I'd been with in any sort of sexual capacity had turned into relationships.

Technically speaking, Bheki was my first, and that had been my longest relationship to date. However, I'd fooled around with guys prior to losing my virginity, and yet still, I always ended up dating them for some period of time. That's who I was — a relationship person.
