If she knew he was thinking that, she'd be pretty annoyed by it. She's adult enough, and in her own estimation, more responsible than plenty of her seniors. She doesn't need him feeling responsible for her.
Luckily for both of them, she doesn't know what he's thinking. Not beyond his clear disappointment and - yep, when she glances down briefly, definitely arousal as well. There's a very small part of her that's satisfied about that, that he clearly wants her as much as she wants him, that she can still get that effect out of a guy. It's a very small part, though, and mostly drowned out by guilt and reluctance and the unfortunate tingling throb between her thighs.
She bites her lip hard enough to sting, taking a deep breath. "Shit," she says again, more quietly this time. "What're we going to do?"
If there's one thing her dalliance with Roland taught her (and all too quickly) it's that you can't just choose not to want someone. All you can do is stay away from them - and she sure as hell doesn't want to stay away from Eddie, who's one of her dearest friends.
