Slutty much?
I frowned. "Why?"
Alec shrugged. "It's awkward and uncomfortable."
I'll give on the comfort thing because cuddling with him was awful, but I won't give on it being awkward.
"What is awkward about cuddlin'?"
"I have four problems with cuddling women and I shall list them accordingly."
"Here we go," I mumbled.
I was sorry I bloody asked.
Alec ignored me and popped his index finger into the air. "Number one, I always get a face full of hair when cuddling with a woman and I don't care how hot a woman is or if she has a pussy of gold, I do not like it."
Pussy of gold?
What. A. Pig!
Alec ignored my curled lip of disgust and stuck up a second finger. "Number two, my arm goes dead from a woman lying on it. That wouldn't normally bother me, but the pins and needles that attack my arm a few minutes after it goes dead do bother me."
I thought on that one and inwardly shrugged my shoulders - I had to give him that, it didn't sound nice at all.
"Number three," Alec said, his third finger now erect in the air. "I get an awkward boner when cuddling and don't know whether to fuck a woman awake or just lie there until it goes away. Most women would love to be fucked awake, but knowing my luck the woman I'm banging would probably scream rape and have me arrested."
I bit down on the insides of my cheeks so I wouldn't laugh.
Alec popped a fourth finger up. "Then there is number four, cuddling with you. You're the first person to share a bed with me without fucking me. Hell, you haven't even kissed me yet and we live together that makes everything harder. Pun completely intended."
“Correction, we kissed in front of me ma today.”
Alec scoffed. “Firstly, I kissed you, you didn’t kiss me so it still stands that you haven’t kissed me yet. Secondly, it wasn’t exactly a kiss because you practically bit my tongue off.”
I lightly snickered as he placed his hands on his bare hips and stared me down.
"You need to change your ways of thinkin', think of me as a sister or as a best friend."
Alec curled his lip in disgust. "I can't think of you as a sister because I want to fuck you."
Wow.
"Jesus, are you always so bluntly crude?" I asked and shook my head.
"Yes, I am."
I groaned. "Well, cut it out. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that sex will not happen between us. You're hot, very hot, but Alec you're an arsehole as well."
Alec smiled at me. "We can fuck around my being an asshole-"
"You're impossible to get through to!"
I was going to punch him if he kept it up.
Alec chuckled. "I'm only playing with you."
I glanced to him and shook my head. He wasn't playing. He really did want to fuck me and the more I shut him down, the more he tried to seduce me. This was where my super self-control was extremely important. I won't give in and sleep with Alec or any man unless there is something between us. I'm well aware that way of thinking might mean I don't have sex for a very long time but I refuse to give myself to someone who only wants my body for a dirty romp, and that is all Alec wanted me for.
Sex.
"We live together in order for me to get comfortable with you so pretendin' to be a couple will be easier next week at the weddin'. It's already failin' in the bedroom because I cannot sleep with you anymore, it's horrible. I'm one more knee in the back away from becomin' murderous."
Alec narrowed his eyes at me. "Challenge accepted."
What?
"Alec, I'm not challengin' you-"
"Too late, I’ve already accepted the challenge so get back under the covers you're about to have the best night's sleep you’ve ever fucking had. You will be so well rested tomorrow you won’t ever want to sleep without me again."
This was weird.
"There is somethin' wrong with you."
Alec jumped onto my bed. "Tell me something I don't know, kitten."
I forced myself to get back into my bed next to Alec.
"You know you could just stick to your side of the bed and I could stick to mine?"
"I tried that, you just keep rolling in my direction."
I grunted as I got under the covers. "Because it’s me fuckin' bed," I muttered.
"What was that?" Alec asked.
I laid down and clenched my hands into fists as I pulled my blanket around my body.
"Nothin'," I growled.
Alec remained silent and so did I.
The continued silence allowed my eyes to drift shut. After what could have been one minute or ten I could feel myself start to doze off, but that went to shit when I felt a tugging on my hair.
I reached up to see what my hair was caught on when my hand grabbed another hand.
"Alec," I growled.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were asleep."
I didn't turn to him or release his hand as I said, "You waited until I was asleep before you pulled me hair?"
"I'm not pulling it, just running my fingers through the ends... I do it when I'm tired, it helps me fall asleep."
Oh my goodness.
I should not be finding this cute, I should not like Alec touching any part of me but dammit I did.
"Okay, you can play with my hair. Just try not to pull it, okay?" I murmured and released Alec's hand.
"Thank you," he said and I could hear the smile in his voice.
Knowing he was smiling made me smile and the realisation of that freaked me out.
I have to remain strong when it comes to Alec.
Very strong.
"Have you had sex with Alec yet?" Aideen asked me as I opened my hall door to her.
I yawned and rubbed my eyes as she pushed by me.
"Good mornin' to you too, sweetie pie," I said as I closed my hall door.
"Mornin'," Aideen sang. "Back to my question, have you shagged Mr. Slater yet?"
"I can answer that for you if you would like?"
