Excerpt:
“Do you want me to stop, Ronnie?”
Veronica hesitates and I pull back, but her hands grab mine and hold
them to her body, tightly. “No, I don’t want you to stop.” She looks over her
shoulder at me, her mouth open, her chest rising and falling faster than it was
a few seconds ago.
I lean into her neck and kiss the soft skin, right under her ear.
She shudders.
“Oh, hell,” she sighs. “Maybe you should stop.”
I pull back immediately. “I will if you really want me to. But
Veronica—” I reach up to turn her chin towards me. She has to reposition
herself a little to look me in the eye. “Don’t say no because it’s expected of
you. Or because you’re afraid I might hurt you. Or because it’s too soon.
Because you’re mine, baby. I knew the moment I saw you last week, outside the
bookstore having it out with your brother over something. I watched you stand
your ground and toss your hair at the same time. And I told myself, She’s
mine. I need her. I don’t know her, but I will. And now I do. And I want you.
Not just for tonight, not for just a weekend, not for just this semester to
pass the time, not just to get some kickass ink on my body. I want you for all
those things, but I want them indefinitely.”
She lets out a long breath. “Holy shit, that’s sorta deep. What’s that
even mean? Indefinitely?”
“It means I’m here, for as long as you want me.”
“But you don’t even know me, Spencer.”
“I’ve watched you for weeks. I know all I need to know.”
She’s silent for a moment, and then she stands up and turns around and
straddles the long black leather seat, facing me. “What do you want me to say?”
I smile. “When I ask if I can touch you tonight, I want you to say
yes. When I ask if I can kiss you tonight, I want you to say yes. When I ask if
I can have you tonight, I want you to say yes. Just say yes, Ronnie. I want you
to say yes. One word, that’s it. One word is all it takes. And I really will
change your life.”
Her eyes dart back and forth, searching my face. I can almost hear her
thoughts. Running all the questions through her mind, past conventional
expectations. Past her father’s opinion of her. Past her brothers’ reactions if
they find out she gave in to me after knowing me less than twenty-four hours.
And then she closes her eyes and whispers, “Yes.”
She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.
