CHAPTER 6
Cort
My legs felt wobbly as I escorted Teagan out of the bathroom, and back into the main room of the bar. Luckily the music was loud and we were in the bathroom in the way back, so hopefully not everyone heard them. Though he wouldn’t have cared if they did.
My mind was still racing with the amazing events of the past hour, but I felt strangely peaceful. The stress that had been plaguing me all day was now alleviated. It was funny how mind-blowing sex could do that to a person. And it was all because of Teagan.
Teagan was amazing. I have never felt a connection, a real bond, with anyone like this. I wasn’t sure if I have ever known an attraction like this. No, it was beyond attraction and mere physical lust. It was a need. She was like a drug I’d taken a sample of, and now I wasn’t sure how I could ever live without it again.
But I wasn’t about to confess his feelings to her. We had just met. And she was leaving tomorrow. There really was no point in telling her how she made me feel.
I wish I could see here again. See where this thing goes.
“So, you say you are leaving town soon?” I asked.
Teagan smiled at him. “Yes, unfortunately.”
I held her hand just then, feeling her soft fingers in mine, doing my best to not caress her even though I was dying to.
It was just too perfect, and I did not want it to end.
“Well, let me get your number. Maybe if you are back this way again soon, then we can go out. Do something fun.”
“Oh, I think we just did something fun,” Teagan teased.
I felt myself blushing. That was a new one for me. I never blushed.
Teagan nudged my arm playfully, and I held her close to me, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
“You’re kind of a brat, you know?” he joked.
“I do know. But that is one of my more endearing qualities,” Teagan replied.
“I’ll have to agree,” I replied. “But how about that phone number? Do you have a phone that works here?”
“I do, actually,” Teagan said. She pulled a small flip phone out of her pocket.
“Wow, they still make those?” I laughed.
“Yes. I got one just in case I needed a phone while I was here. I put just a few minutes on it for emergencies or something.”
“Well, if I want to chat, that is definitely an emergency,” I replied.
She pulled up her number on the settings of the phone, and I copied it into his own.
“Great,” I said. “Where are you staying? I’ll walk you back.”
Teagan smiled. “That’s ok. You don’t have to.”
I was a bit taken aback, but he played along. “Sure, I do. My mother raised me right. Plus, I’ll enjoy the walk. My legs are still shaking, but stretching the muscles out seems to be helping.”
Teagan laughed.
“I mean it,” she said. “I’ll be fine. You take care of yourself.”
Teagan kissed me quickly and then walked away, turning the corner in front of the bar.
I thought about following her, but I decided to respect her wishes and let her go. As I walked back towards the bar where I left his friends a bit ago, I couldn’t help but feel a bit… insulted? Was that the right word? I honestly wasn’t sure how I was feeling. I just met this perfect girl, we had the most mind-blowing sex ever, and then she brushed him off. But she did it in the sexiest, most charming way ever.
Who was this girl?
I realized that I didn’t even get her last name.
But at least I had her number, right? If it was a real number. I thought about calling it to test it, but how desperate and weird would that have been?
I had to laugh at myself. This was perhaps the most normal dating experience I ever really had. Most guys went through this, most people went through this actually, waiting to see if the person they liked really wanted them too, and then playing the waiting game to see who was going to call or who was going to wait three days. All of the stuff I heard my friends and other people talk about.
As a prince, I never had to go through any of it. And I rather liked it that way. But this was an amusing experience. The frustration was weird because there was an element of mystery and excitement to it all.
I walked past the bar where I left my friends and texted my driver that I was ready to be picked up.
My thoughts went quickly back to Teagan and I hoped that I would get to see her again. I wanted to get close to her. Of course, if I ever did get really close to her, she would know that I lied to her about who I really was. But in his position, she would have to understand. She would know why I did it.
Wouldn’t she?
