EXCERPT
His whole body stays still as his eyes look around the bathroom for a moment. Then he spins taking in the bedroom. I have a feeling the past few hours he’s been collecting his thoughts on what he wants to say about my spiel.
“Are you good with the ground rules?” I meet his icy gaze, which thankfully he gets from his mother.
“I might have a few questions.”
I figured since I didn’t cover everything that is important to a twenty-two year old male. I wave my hand, “Shoot.”
“Booze?”
I could give a rat’s ass if he drinks. “Buy your own.”
He raises both his eyebrows. “Girls?”
“Their place only. This is a one bedroom for crying out loud and I’d rather not hear my little brother getting it on with a screamer.”
“Can I borrow your car?” He leans against the bathroom door frame and as he waits for my answer.
“We’ll work something out.”
He leans toward me, “Emergency condoms?”
I point to my nightstand, “Top drawer, bedside table.”
He seems to take in every inch of it. “I’m not gonna find any gigantic dildos, am I?”
I smirk, “Just don’t go looking too deep and you’ll be fine.”He steeples his fingers as he contemplates in silence. After a long minute, he snaps his fingers, “I think I’ll like it here.”
