“What about a condom or something?” Blair murmured, gaping at<br />
Nate’s hard-on. It looked like it was going to take over the world.<br />
She had managed to get all of his clothes off, and now they were<br />
lying down on her bed on top of the covers. They’d been fooling<br />
around for almost an hour. On the stereo, the Jennifer Lopez song<br />
“Love Don’t Cost a Thing” was playing, and Blair was getting hotter<br />
and hotter. She reached for Nate’s hand and licked his fingers,<br />
sucking greedily on the tip of each one. She had a feeling sex was<br />
going to be even better than food.<br />
Nate rolled onto his back while Blair sucked his fingers. He had been<br />
so uptight about seeing Blair that he hadn’t eaten dinner, and now<br />
he was feeling hungry. Maybe when he went home he’d pick up a<br />
burrito from the Mexican place on Lexington Avenue. That’s what he<br />
wanted, a chicken and black bean burrito with extra guacamole.<br />
Blair bit down hard on his pinky.<br />
“Ow,” Nate said, his hard-on deflating as if it had been pricked with<br />
a pin. He sat up and ran his hands through his hair. “I can’t do this,”<br />
he muttered under his breath.<br />
“What?” Blair said, sitting up too. “What’s wrong?” Her heart fell.<br />
This wasn’t in the script. Nate was ruining a perfect moment.<br />
Clumsily, Nate took Blair’s hand and looked into her eyes for the<br />
first time all night. “I have to tell you something,” he said. “I can’t<br />
do this without you knowing. I feel like an asshole.”<br />
Blair could tell <strong>by</strong> the look in Nate’s eyes that the moment wasn’t<br />
just ruined, it was killed. “What?” she said softly.<br />
Nate reached down and gathered up the edges of the quilt. He<br />
draped one end around Blair’s shoulders and wrapped the other end<br />
around his waist. It didn’t seem right to talk about this when they<br />
were both so naked. He took Blair’s hand again.<br />
“Remember the summer before last when you were away in<br />
Scotland, at your aunt’s wedding?” Nate began.<br />
Blair nodded.<br />
“It was so friggin’ hot that summer. I was in the city with my Dad,<br />
just hanging out while he went to some meetings and stuff. I got<br />
bored, so I called Serena in Ridgefield, and she came down.” Nate<br />
noticed Blair’s back stiffen when he mentioned Serena’s name. She<br />
removed her hand from his and crossed her arms over her chest,<br />
her eyes suddenly distrustful.<br />
“We had some drinks and sat out in the garden. It was so hot,<br />
Serena started splashing around in the fountain, and then she<br />
started splashing me. And I guess I got kind of carried away. I mean<br />
—” Nate fumbled. He remembered what Cyrus had told him about
