The Dating Disaster by Saxon James

Franklin University Series, Book 2

Felix

One date.

That’s how long it takes for Marshall Harrows to end up on my bad side.

Luckily I have no plans to see the giant teddy bear again. Except, when he shows up as my new housemate, I can’t escape him, and he’s just as irritating as I thought he’d be.

He leaves cupboards ajar and puts empty milk cartons back in the fridge. His bedroom door is always open, I find his underwear on the laundry floor, and he has this whole bashful sweetheart thing going on that I just … can’t … stand.

But the most completely, horribly irritating thing about him, is that he’s totally my type.

And my friends won’t stop setting us on blind dates.

Marshall

One date.

That’s how long it took for Felix Andrews to steal my heart.

The sparky little spitfire is everything I’m not. Confident, adorable, and completely outspoken.

He also wants nothing to do with me. Which is a real problem when I want to give him everything. Including my virginity.

But the more I try to gain his attention, the more I see the real him. The one who doesn’t feel worthy of being treated like anything other than a one-night stand. So I decide to take matters into my own hands.

A total do-over. One night. One date. Where hopefully I can steal his heart too.

Felix drops my hand. “We’re roommates. Maybe even friends. We’re allowed to hang out together.”

And yet, I sort of wish it was a date anyway. The pull I have toward Felix isn’t a common thing for me, and it’s kind of terrifying. He’s the type of guy to only want sex, and that’s fine, but that makes him completely incompatible with me.

So of course my dumb body would make the dumb choice to want him.

Even with all that knowledge, when I glance over, my heart does this stupid little squirm, and I have to acknowledge I’m well and truly fucked.

Where I take this from here is on me though.

I’ve already had one person completely mess with my feelings, and I don’t know Felix well enough yet to trust he won’t be the same.

Smart Marshall, the one who’s obsessed with history and finding patterns, would yeet my ass as far from Felix as it could get. I’m overly conscious that Felix has a lot of parallels to my high school crush. She liked the attention too.

But she was also manipulative and picked that I was interested in her right away. Instead of letting me down easy, she strung me along. Doing her schoolwork, driving her and her friends places, free entry to the movie theater where I worked part-time.

The final straw was when she wanted tickets for her and her date. It upset me so much I’d actually told Robbie everything about her, and that night, he and Banjo snuck into the henhouse and disappeared for a few hours.

Dad was confused why there were no eggs the next morning.

Felix might like attention, but he’s his own person who’s happy being single and overly picky on dates.

It’s just my luck that I find someone I could genuinely see myself starting something with, and once again, they’re not interested in a relationship.

I’m going to be a virgin forever.

And the status itself isn’t something I care about, but … I want to experience sex. Mind-blowing sex. I want to know what the big deal is, and I want to be close enough to someone to want them that badly.

And right now, I want Felix.

There are no guarantees I’m ever going to be sexually attracted to someone again, and for all my talk about wanting to lose my virginity to someone special, I’ve never defined what special means to me.

I don’t have to be dating them. I don’t have to even be friends, I guess.

All I need is that explosive attraction, the kind of chemistry that will take me to a high I’ve only ever reached with my hand before.

Felix has made it clear so many times that he’s interested in a hookup. Would it really be so bad if I took him up on the offer?

Another wave of heat passes over me as I think about our kiss and picture doing it again. My hands in his hair, on his back, grabbing his ass …

This could be a very, very big mistake. If it goes south and shit is awkward, I’ll have to move out because I don’t want to create an unbearable living situation for everyone in the house. But if it goes well …

Shit, I have to try.

I can find another room. I can’t find another Felix.

My hand finds his before I’ve even made a conscious decision, and when he turns around, confusion pulls at his features. My gut is a riot of nerves as I look down at him, trying to talk myself out of this, trying to remind myself of all the reasons why it’s dumb.

But I want to be dumb.

Before he has a chance to ask me what I’m doing, I lean in and kiss him.
