Flirt
don’t like having to explain where I’ve been, and I don’t like being questioned about my style of dress. This is me, Trey.” She pointed at herself for emphasis. “I like nice clothes, I like being spontaneous, and I
don’t
like having to explain all that to you.”
    Trey sat silently and looked at her for a long time. He thought about what she was saying to him, and frankly, it pissed him off that she was asserting herself this way. But he had to respect her feelings. “Let me ask you a question.”
    “Go ahead,” she said, sitting back to listen.
    “Do you love me?”
    She was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected him to ask her that. “What does that have to do with anything?” she asked, sidestepping the question.
    “Because I already told you that I love you. I guess I overreacted about what you got on. And I only asked where you’ve been because I knew that you were turning heads all day in that outfit. That’s my way of saying that you look good.”
    Chloe had to resist the urge to be flattered by the compliment. At least he’d managed to acknowledge that.
    Trey looked at her. “But I feel kinda insecure about where we stand. I’m not messing with no other girls, you know what I’m saying? I’m happy being with you. I try to show you that youmake me happy all the time. And all I get in return is you asking me to pick you up or buy you stuff.”
    “So now you’re gonna throw that in my face?” Chloe knew that he was right, but she still didn’t like hearing him remind her of all the things he’d done for her.
    He shook his head. “I’m not throwing nothing in your face, Chloe. I’m just saying that it feels like you’re a tease sometimes. ’Cause whenever I want to have sex, you shut me down. You play with me, get my dick hard, and then you back off. I tell you that I love you, and you don’t say it back. And now I’m starting to feel like a fool for feeling like this is serious if you don’t feel the same way.”
    Chloe looked away, knowing that Trey was right. She had been teasing him, but not intentionally. She’d just gotten caught up in all the fun she was having, and she hadn’t wanted to jinx a good thing. She looked at him again. Trey was the total package—handsome, smart, generous, and affectionate. Maybe sometimes he could be too sensitive. But in the grand scheme of things, that wasn’t so bad. Chloe thought about it and realized she didn’t want Trey to go out and find some other girl to spend his time and his money on. “I do love you, Trey,” she said softly.
    A slow smile spread across Trey’s face. “Yeah?”
    She nodded. “Yeah. I do.” Even as she said it, she knew she didn’t mean it. “And I want to make love to you—I don’t want to just have sex. You’re special, and I want our first time to be special. That’s why I’ve been holding out all this time. I don’t want it to be just ordinary.” She knew as she said it that it was a lie.She had held out for the most part because she hadn’t needed to fuck Trey as long as she had Jason around. And then when Jason was killed, sex had been the furthest thing from her mind. But she wanted to make love to Trey now that she thought about it. In the four months since they’d met, he had earned it. She decided then that it was time for her to let down her guard.
    Trey leaned over and kissed her. Then he stared at her with love in his eyes for several long moments before he spoke. “I want it to be special, too,” he said. “Tomorrow night I’ll come pick you up, and you can spend the night with me. I promise I’ll make it special for you.”
    She smiled and kissed him back. “Okay.”
    She buckled her seat belt again, and Trey put the car in drive. He would plan the perfect night for her and make sure that their lovemaking was more special than anything she’d ever experienced. “Wanna go get something to eat?”
    She nodded, glad that he was happy now. If giving him some pussy would keep him
