Chapter 0368
"Okay," he says, his smirk softening to a smile. "But...I mean, are you mad? That I'm not a virgin, like you?"
"Wait, how do you know I'm a virgin?" I ask, narrowing my eyes.
He sniffs the air around me. "I can tell by your scent."
"What!?" I screech, eyes wide.
But he just laughs at me and shakes his head, and I shriek again and smack him on the chest when I realize that he's kidding.
*I just... put the pieces together, Ari. I think you've had a sheltered life and Jesse would have teased you about it in front of me if you'd had a serious boyfriend before. He wouldn't have been able to resist that bait. And I think if you'd slept with Luca...he'd have let me know."
I sigh, realizing that that's right. That Luca absolutely would have used it as leverage against Jackson - wouldn't have been able to resist it in the same way Jesse can't resist a good tease.
"So," Jackson continues, shrugging again. "Just...an educated guess. But...I mean, are you? Mad?"
"No, Jacks," I say instantly, suddenly sorry that my reaction made him think that. "I don't care that you've had a history. I'm just... surprised. When Daphne came into the room that time you were ready to bolt - and she didn't even want to sleep with you -*
"Yes she did," he murmurs, dry.
I burst out laughing and smack him again, not bothering to mention that she did think he was cute - second only to Rafe, in her estimation. "Shut up," I growl, jealousy rankling in me a little at the thought. "But seriously? How did this happen?"
