Sarah’s
to-do list:
Lose
virginity
When
Sarah Cole has two months to kill before her big move to New York, she decides
it's time to take care of a few things―like the inconvenient issue of her
virginity. Sarah knows the right guy for the job too: Max, the notorious lady's
man she's been crushing on since college.
Two weeks
of courting, and then the deed will be done. The plan is so simple. There's no
way either of them would do something as silly as fall in love...
Excerpt
“Sarah?”
Oh no,
he could see it. She was tensing up.
All
that warm, gooey heat was beginning to cool.
But if
she let this stop, would she ever have the courage to try again?
Max was
the one man she trusted above all others. Her attraction to him was off the
charts—even if that attraction was currently overshadowed by anxiety and more
than a pinch of guilt.
She
needed to do this.
He said
her name again, a question in his eyes.
Straightening
her shoulders, she aimed for confidence she wasn’t feeling. “Sorry, I just
realized I didn’t send an email I meant to get out.”
Max
didn’t move a muscle, but even in the low light of the suite, she could
see the shock in his eyes. “Email.”
Oops!
Okay, that was definitely the wrong thing to say. Scrambling to regain her
traction on the moment, she stepped out of the puddle of silk and lace, praying
her knees would hold her, and walked over to where the living area opened into
the bedroom with a half wall.
“I
know, workaholic,” she offered with a
self-deprecating laugh. “Mystery solved as to why no boyfriend, right?”
Max’s
jaw bounced once, twice, as he stared at her. “Sarah, are you nervous?”
Through
three beats of her heart, she thought she might tell him. But if she did, he would
stop and she couldn’t take that. So shaking her head, she tossed another
lie onto the pile.
“I…um…
Sometimes when I have too much time to think, even in moments like this,
my mind wanders to work, is all.” She swallowed and added an honest truth. “But
I want to be with you.”
The
hardness left his face, and he closed the distance between them. “So be with me.”
He
kissed her again, this kiss falling somewhere between the last two. Not a
taste. Not devouring. But a measured, concentrated seduction of her mouth that
left her mindless.
Max
pulled back again. “Better?”
“Yes,”
she answered breathlessly. And when she pushed to her toes, reaching for him,
he met her halfway, giving her everything she was asking for. More.
She
moaned, opening wider to take his tongue, meeting it with her own. His hand
found the back of her thigh and slid over the bare skin until he’d
cupped her hip and pulled her into exactly the kind of contact she was
begging for.
He was
big. Thick. Hard.
She
knew that was generally considered a good thing, but didn’t want to speculate
on what it would mean for her tonight.
Don’t
think.
Just
keep focused.
Eyes on
the prize.
Pushing
her fingers into his short hair, she ignored the voice in the back of her head,
whispering that he was going to know. That whatever ember of affection had
remained between them over the years would die the second he realized she was
using him.
His
arms tightened around her, and then she was whirling, her toes off the ground
as Max carried her to the bed. Laying her back, he crawled on top of her. It
was exactly where she wanted him to be. Only that delicious heat in her belly
was gone, replaced by a guilty void.
Maybe
this was a mistake.
“Sarah?”
he asked, looking up from the neighborhood of her navel. She hadn’t even
noticed.
Arching
her back, she let out a little moan and whispered, “So good.”
Those
thick, dark brows crashed together.
“Are
you…thinking about work?”
“No. I
swear.” It was the truth, but it didn’t matter. Because he knew something
was up. “I don’t really like that.” She nodded toward her panties where she
could only guess he’d been headed.
“You
don’t?” he asked slowly, something in the way he was looking at her making
her squirm.
“Come
back up here.” Reaching for his head, she tried to urge him back.
He
didn’t budge. “What do you like, Sarah?”
She
swallowed at the edge she heard in his question.
“Everything
else.”
“Yeah?”
She
nodded. Scrambled for something to say that would get them back on track.
Something she’d read?
“I want
you, Max. Inside me.” And that might have sounded a little more convincing
if her voice hadn’t
cracked. “Hard
and fast. That’s how I like it.”
As terrifying
as that prospect actually sounded, it was her best chance of Max not figuring out she’d lied
to him.
He
nodded, his jaw softening.
Yes.
Relief
flooded through her.
Then,
quietly, he said, “Sarah, I really wanna be wrong about this, but I’m
about ninety-five percent sure you don’t know what you like.”
Her
breath froze in her lungs, her muscles involuntarily locking where they were.
Max
retreated just far enough so he could meet her eyes. With a harsh breath, his
head dropped.
“How
the hell are you still a virgin?”
