He had already dismissed this Southern delicacy as inedible. I nibbled the tip. ‘Hey, you know when we first started to, you know, do it, you left me and went to your room because you had something important to do.’ I turned my face towards him. ‘What was so important?’ He popped a cheese ball into his mouth. ‘I had to jerk off.’ ‘What? You left me waiting on my hands and knees and went to jerk off?’ I spluttered in disbelief. ‘You obviously have no comprehension at all of the male body. I couldn’t have lasted a few seconds inside you the way I was. I wanted your first time to be a bit more memorable than a premature ejaculation experience.’ I looked at him startled. ‘Well, in that case … thank you?’ ‘You’re welcome. So you and Robert didn’t have sex, huh?’ he asked casually. Too casually. He made a point of not even looking at me. I felt my body contract. We were travelling into dangerous territory here.
