Prologue

Quinn

Normally, I didn’t stick out like a sore thuh, at six foot three and two hundred pounds of solidthe scruffy look since it wouldn’t be long before I’d be tri it all off and headed to Officers Candidate School But, that day as I entered the classrooe lecture hall was filled with uys were scattered about I hated to stereotype, but let’s face it, they were pretty nerdy You’ll understand what I meant later in the story

When a few heads turnedaround and suddenly, I stood frozen in the doorway as every eye was aimed at me

This couldn’t beschool, but by the time you reached your last seranize anybody I started to retrieve lanced at the smartboard at the head of the room

Orientation to Early Childhood Education

Now the nerd reference ht? As did the extreain, not to stereotype, but the reality was, Early Childhood Education tended to have a higher percentage of wo class, I pivoted to exit, but once again found myself frozen

Theat ht brown hair framed a sweetly rounded face, with prominent cheekbones Her full lips were tilted up in a tiny sle eyebrow, her s

Rather than succu, I returned her expression The apples of her cheeks dusted with red, and I couldn’t help grinning widely The seat next to her was miraculously empty, so I took the two steps to her row and slid into the chair desk

“I’m Quinn Evans,” I told her quietly

“I think you’re in the wrong class,” she whispered back Her voice was like sweet honey, and I was instantly hard and salivating for a taste

“Nope,” I disagreed with a shake of ht where I’m supposed to be”

Surprise flitted across her delicate features “In Early Childhood Education?”

My eyes dropped to her pink, pluems “If that’s where you are”

She tilted her head to the side, her long curtain of satiny hair falling over her shoulder and resting on her full, perky tits

“You don’t even know me”

Unable to resist the temptation of her pale, creamy skin, I ran the back of my hand down her soft cheek “Not your name, but I knew you the second I laid eyes on you”

“You can’t possible know anything about me!” she scoffed

I cupped her face inthe other half of my soul

“I know you’re mine That’s all I need to know”

TheJenna’s skin glohere it slashed across her bare back I wanted to trail ers down the path of her spine and savor the feel of her silky skin But, I didn’t want to wake her There was tooready

The first day I ht Spending tithened my belief that she was put on this earth to be with me Most men would have ive We’d been on three dates when I told her that I loved her She’d thrown her arms around me and yelled that she loved me too

The buzz of htstand drewin s over the side before grabbing it and checking the text

Weston Davis: My sister isn’t in her dor She better not be with you at the ass crack of dawn, Evans Or you’re going to report to OCS with a broken jaw

I rolled my eyes and typed out a quick response

Me: Bring it, Spook And don’t forget the cake
