Shouldn't Want You (A Brothers Best Friend Romance) Alayna & Gunner #1

Alayna

The party is in full swing by the time we get there and get my room key. Taylor finds me immediately. She has a drink in each hand and she hands me one of them. She looks at Wes with an apologetic look "Sorry Wes, only had two hands." "It's ok Taylor" he says and he looks down at me and kisses my forehead and says "I'm going to go find a drink, I'll find you in a bit."

He walks away in the direction of the alcohol. When he is out of ear shot Taylor turns to me and gives me a sly smile. " So," she says and I already know what she's gonna say. "You've got your hot boyfriend here, you have a hotel room all to yourself, just a few floors up. Is tonight gonna be the night? Are you gonna sleep with him?"

Taylor has had a weird obsession with me losing my virginity ever since she slept with Eric a few weeks after the bonfire two years ago. She was sure I was going to lose it to beer pong guy last year. God, now I'm even calling him that instead of his actual name, which is Kyle, by the way. Anyway, everytime me and Kyle would hang out together she would grill me for details. Much to her dismay, I never slept with him, or any other guy I went out with. It's not that I didn't want to, I wanted to, and I did other things with guys but never went the whole way with them. But whenever me and a guy would try to take it to the next level, all I could think about was Gunner. I would wonder what his hands on me would feel like, I would think about the places he would kiss on my body, what his head would look like between my legs.Then Id remember what his massive erection felt like through his shorts that night in the tent. I would have given him everything that night if my bonehead brother never came back to our tent.

I take a big drink before I answer her " I don't know Taylor. Maybe. I can tell that Wes wants to tonight. He tries to go a little further every time we are together but just like every other guy, I just find myself comparing them to Gunner and wishing it was him." I admit. " What if it's always going to be this way? What if I stay a virgin forever because nobody compares to how I felt about Gunner? Maybe I'll just do it and get it over with and it will finally help me get completely over Gunner."

Taylor hugs me and says "What's that saying? The fastest way to get over someone, is to get under someone else. I think this totally applies here. You've got the hot willing boyfriend and you've got the hotel room. I say go rock his world." I laugh and then I hear a throat clear behind us.

We turn to see my brother and Gunner staring at us. "How much of that did you hear?" I ask and I can feel my face turning red. " Oh, ya know, just you getting under someone and rocking his world." My brother spits out, and he makes a face that shows she is equally pissed and disgusted. "What the hell Alayna? If you have to be talked in to having sex with someone then you shouldn't be having sex with that person. Look, I know your eighteen now and about to go to college, I'm not dumb enough to think that you wont have sex with people but I swear to god if he is pressuring you, I'll kick his ass. Hell, Gunner will kick his ass too and then send him back to me and I'll kick his ass again." He is starting to get worked up when I hold my hands up to stop him from continuing. I can feel the heat from Gunners glare but I do my best to avoid looking in his direction.

"There will be no ass kicking, by either of you. He isn't pressuring me for christ sake. My virginity isn't something I really want to talk about with the three of you right now." I groan.

"Virginity?" Travis looks at me surprised. "Are you telling me that you didn't have sex with that douchebag beer pong guy? You dated for over a year."

"Yes, I know how long we dated and no I didn't have sex with him, not that it's any of your business. Can we stop talking about this before everybody in here knows that I'm still a virgin."

And of course, as I say that another throat clears beside us. Are you kidding me right now? This night really isn't going how I saw it going. And what's up with people sneaking up on me tonight? I know who it is before I even turn to look. Wes is standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking just as embarrassed as I am feeling.

"Umm, I just came to see what was taking y'all so long. I didn't mean to interrupt." He says as he is looking at me. I give him an apologetic look and go put my arms around him. " It's ok, you didn't interrupt anything important. Let's go dance?" I smile at him. He smiles but still looks embarrassed as my brother and Gunner and Taylor are all staring at us. I make the mistake of glancing up at Gunner who has been quiet this entire time. His eyes are locked on mine, his jaw is clenched. I can't tell what he's thinking. For reasons I can't explain, I have an urge to go to him and make him feel better. I have the urge to fix this. Which makes no sense, I was the one who's virginity everyone was just talking about. Why is he mad? I don't have time to decipher anything before Wes has my hand and is leading me away to the dance floor.
