.I m gonna go crazy without you this summer. I thought it was sweet that he d miss me, but I knew he wouldn t miss me half as much as I dmiss him. We can still talk on the phone, video chat, text, and email. I knew it was a poor substitutefor seeing each other, but it would have to do. Or I could visit you. I could tell he was challenging me, testing me to find out if I d be willing to invite him into myworld and introduce him to my mama. I d like that. He rewarded me with a smile, prompting me tokiss him. Have you got a summer job lined up yet? My aunt Bea has a diner.I used to work for her.She said she could use me again over thesummer break. Good.You should take my truck.That way you can drive back here too, maybe once a month? IfI go there once a month and you come here once a month, the summer will pass pretty quickly, don tyou think? I could just imagine my mother s reaction if I told her I intended to shack up in some hotel withmy boyfriend for the weekend. What s wrong? That s really generous of you, but I really don t need wheels while I m at home.Like I said, it sa tiny town.I can walk everywhere I need to go. Yeah, but you can drive back here to see me if you take the truck.Unless you d rather fly? Henodded as though he d answered his own question. Yeah, that probably makes more sense.You llonly get the weekend off, right? You should definitely fly.It ll give us more time together. Nex, I can t afford to fly back and forth.I m supposed to be saving money for school,remember? His brows dipped as though he were still trying to make sense of me. I ll pay for the flights. I patted his chest, trying to laugh off his offer. That s very generous, but I can t let you do that. And I m telling you now you re crazy if you think I m gonna go three months without seeing you.Even once or twice a month isn t enough. I knew Nex was a strong-willed, opinionated man used to getting what he wanted, but he neededto understand I wasn t some wallflower content to let the man in her life make all the decisions forher.If this was going to work, he had to understand it would involve compromise. I m sure we can work something out if we both deem it important enough, right? I asked, myvoice laced with warning. Is that your not-so-subtle way of telling me to back off, that I m pushing too hard? I tapped his face gently, smiling. You re a smart man. At least spend the night with me tonight. I d love nothing more, and since my first class was late in the morning, I could. As long as youpromise to behave yourself. Meaning? His eyes trailed over my body in the tight-fitting black dress. Are you telling meit s your time of the month or something? I slapped his chest, torn between amusement and embarrassment. No! I just meant I don t wantto argue any more about my plans for the summer. Were we arguing? he asked, drawing me so close I could feel his arousal prod my belly. Icould have sworn we were having a mature discussion about the future. The future.Every time I d heard those words from Scott in recent years, a feeling of dread filledme.Not so with Nex.When he talked about the future, the butterflies started flitting around in mystomach, reminding me how exciting it could be to plan for the future with a man I was crazy about. Call it what you want, I said, lowering his head so I could whisper in his ear. I think you retrying to strong-arm me, and I just wanted you to know it s not going to work. I could feel his smile against my cheek as he whispered, I didn t hear you complaining the othernight when I was strong-arming you. Just the thought of his bulk pressing me into the mattress, his hand capturing both of mine, mademe hot all over again. There are times when it s okay, I teased. Just don t get used to it.Sometimes, you re going to get your own way.Other times, you re going to have to let me have mine. He tipped his head back, looking serious. Does that mean you wanna be on top sometimes? Ithink I can live with that. I laughed loud enough to draw the attention of the other couples on the dance floor.I didn t care,and neither did he.The only thing that mattered was that I d finally met a man who made me laughwhile challenging me in the best possible way. Chapter ElevenNexBy the time we made it back to my house, I wasn t nearly as tired as I should have been.In fact, it feltlike I d just had a triple espresso and was good to go all night.But it wasn t caffeine that had merevved up.It was the way Jaci s hand kept creeping up my thigh on the ride home.Since I was just as anxious to get her going, I d been teasing her through those sexy silky pantiesat every stoplight.At this point, I was pretty sure if I d asked to bend her over the hood of my car, shewould have been game. What s wrong, baby? I asked, shooting a sidelong glance in her direction as I shut off the car. You seem kinda edgy. Edgy? she asked, practically panting as she shot daggers at me. I wonder why. She reachedup to close the garage door using my remote before climbing into my lap and manually shifting theseat back as far as it would go. Maybe it s time to give you a taste of your own medicine. Or maybe it s just time to give me a taste. I grabbed the back of her head, kissing her hard.Iloved this aggressive side of her and wanted to see what I could do about drawing out a little morefire.She moaned into my mouth as she lifted her body just enough to reach the front of my pants.Now I was the one panting as she continued kissing me while undoing my belt, followed by mybutton and fly. Damn, girl& There were no words to describe what she was doing to me.I d beentrying to get her fired up, but she d somehow managed to turn the tables on me and it felt like I was ather mercy instead.She reached for her purse, pulling out a condom. What the hell are you doing with those? I grumbled.I didn t want to think about her being thatprepared.She had to know that I would always take care of her, that I d never be stupid or recklesswhere she was concerned. A girl s gotta be ready for anything, doesn t she? she asked, licking her lips.Muttering a curse, I lifted up just enough to lower my pants and boxer briefs. Not my girl.Youjust let me worry about the protection from now on. Why? she asked, tearing the package open with her teeth before rolling it over my shaft. Because I don t want you carrying goddamn condoms around in your purse, I said, grippingher head so I could kiss her again.I knew it was stupid, but if I was the only guy she was sleepingwith, she wouldn t need those.I could provide them. I ve got it covered. She shoved her panties aside, moaning as she lowered herself. Well, now I ve got you covered,sexy.Don t you prefer this? Any and every day.But I couldn t talk, couldn t think, when she was riding me like that.I closed my eyes when Irealized they were rolling back in my head, giving her some clue as to what she was doing to me
