Because now the flashbacks of the last time they were alone were even more prominent in his mind.
    Kira obviously did not have the same thoughts on her mind. Her brow furrowed in irritation. “Who says I don’t believe that crap?”
    “You’re kidding me, right?” Was this all a set-up by Jared? Maybe he was on some sort of Pranked show. Only there weren’t any cameras that he could see.
    Kira adjusted her bag on her shoulder. “There are some really good principles in the Cherry Saver Manual.”
    “There’s a manual?” What other principles could there be besides keep your legs shut ?
    Never mind. He didn’t want to know. “Don’t answer that. Whatever their principles, you obviously don’t follow them.”
    “Who says?”
    “I had sex with you the first time I met you!” That had happened, hadn’t it? Because it was starting to feel like maybe it had all been a dream. A very good dream, but unreal nonetheless.
    Kira looked down at her shoe as she kicked at a patch of grass. “Yeah, well, anyone can make a mistake.”
    That zing hit like a knife to his chest. “You’re calling me a mistake?” Hopefully she hadn’t noticed the slight quiver as he said that. He already felt like a total wuss where she was concerned.
    “Not you, exactly. I’m calling sex a mistake.” She sighed. “I should have waited.”
    “Like, until we’d been on a date or something?” It was kinda slutty how they’d jumped each other in a bar. Also really fucking hot.
    Or did she mean something else. “Until we were married?”
    She shook her head, not meeting his eyes. “Just in general. I should have waited in general.”
    Chase took in her words, finally understanding her meaning. No, no, no. That was impossible. “Are you trying to tell me you were a virgin?”
    “Shh, keep it down, will you.” She grabbed his arm pulling him further behind the band shell. “Of course I was a virgin.”
    “No way.” He ignored the tingling of his skin where she had touched him and concentrated on the facts of their tryst. “You had a condom.”
    Her cheeks grew rosy again. “What can I say? I was raised to be prepared.”
    “There is no way you hadn’t had sex before.”
    “Are you calling me a liar?”
    He raised a brow. “Um, considering the speech you just gave to that crowd, yeah, I am.”
    “Well, I’m not lying about this.”
    Chase thought back to the way Kira had stared at his dick. She had seemed a little bewildered at the sight. Was it because she’d never seen one live and in person?
    Nah, that couldn’t be it. There were other things, other signs he couldn’t ignore. “But you knew what you were doing.” Like how she’d squeezed around him, the way she’d bucked her hips to feed him deeper into her.
    She thrust out her jaw defiantly. “So did Brook Shields when she did it with that guy on the island.”
    “What the hell are you talking about?”
    “ Blue Lagoon. Ever see it? Total classic B-movie.”
    “Afraid I missed that one.”
    “Forget it then.” She blew out a breath of frustrated air. “Point is—some things are natural. You know?”
    “No, I don’t know.” His first time had been awkward and over in a rush. Nothing like what he’d experienced with Kira. “First time sex is not like that.”
    “How so?”
    “It’s usually bad.”
    She peered up at him, her brown eyes sparkling. “Really? So I wasn’t bad?”
    “No. There was nothing bad about you and me at all.” He held her gaze for several seconds, drowning in the depth of her chocolate pools. Something stirred inside him. From the burn of it, he’d say he was horny, but this was higher, in his chest. Nearer to his heart.
    Whoa. This was so not happening.
    He ran a hand through his hair. She couldn’t have been a virgin. Could. Not. Not because it wasn’t a possibility, but because he didn’t want it to be true. Because that would make him an ass—taking her virginity in the back of a bar? Totally not the rep he wanted.
