Cooler Heads Prevail

Deciding not to corrupt, or teach, or further Embarrass the blushing boy, Emma rose to her feet. "I'm sorry, James. I won't mess with you anymore," Emma said softly, "But if you have questions, or anything, just ask, OK?"

James nodded, then said, "Sure, but maybe not right now. I'm pretty embarrassed by everything and asking anything is going to just make it worse."

Emma silently agreed, then placed a small kiss on his cheek. James winced away from the contact, then relaxed when he realized Emma was trying to be sweet.

As she turned to go, Emma said over her shoulder, "Maybe one day you can come visit me at college. I have a lot of single college friends that are cute, and they would totally go for a guy like you. Plus, if you tell them you're a virgin, a couple of them will rush to claim it. You might even be able to trick one or two even after you lose it."

James blushed even redder than he had earlier, but then as he stared at the floor, his lips curled up in a smile. "You really think so?"

"That you can trick them? Yeah, they aren't that bright and we drink a lot." Emma joked. "No, I know a few of them would be in to you. And what girl wouldn't want to be the corrupting influence on a nice, shy boy?"

James smiled wider and nodded. "I will have to come and visit then."

Emma smiled to match James and left the room. As she got ready for a nap, she couldn't help but feel good. Sure she felt bad about how she had teased James, but if she could get him laid by a friend or three, that would make them even.

Crawling under the covers of Jake's bed, Emma started making a list of friends who might be suitable.
