Lying down in bed, Aaron put his hands on your hips as you were sat on his lap. He was looking at the ceiling thoughtful as you checked your phone, lying against his chest.

He couldn’t stop thinking about the last two times things escalated between the two of you. Last week, you guys were making out on the bed and you, forgetting he had never crossed that line, tried to go for his belt. He pulled away nervously. Then, two days ago, you were sat on his lap, as you guys were talking. You were only wearing your underwear and you felt him under you, yet you did nothing after he shook his head.

He said he wasn’t ready yet, because he had never even done anything else besides making out. Not even neck kisses.

You put your phone down as you see him, and instinctively put your hands on his lower abs as you sit up straight to face him.

At your touch, he tenses and looks down at your hands.
