My gaze swept the pool deck to see if there was anyone I et to know, and then--boom

There he was

Mr Perfect

I blinked and tried to clear irls who describes a guy like some male speciuy's sense of huht I wasn't built that way Even the first naked guy I saw on HBO didn't do it for one on and on about his abs and ass and dick like they were dying to do him Me--not so much

But for the first time, I kind of lost my breath

He wasn'tainst the railing behind the bar, watchingon those full lips As if I aht black, rich against his tanned skin, and fell into perfect, tousled curls over his forehead His eyes were a startling light blue, so pale they seeht I tried to break the gaze, but he wouldn't let o As if the first one to look away lost

I actually shivered under the hot sun Solea to decide if he wanted to play the ga, inexperienced boy Probably twenty-three, but his gaze said he'd seen things, done things, and would maybe like to do them with me

He was bare chested, with plain navy-blue board shorts, and nicely built Toned, but not overdone His stohtly braced apart, as if he owned his space

Whoa

My heart fluttered in rew dahter and tried to be cool Ridiculous He may be hot, but I don't think I even liked hi over hi hi up they deserved , and since I'd had none of it, and had to work le in my life by myself, I didn't respect him

He suddenly arched a brow, as if he read hts and was even h to race inside to escape, but this tiht smile, and deliberately turned my back on him

There Take that

Way to go, Quinn There goes your one opportunity to sleep with a guy who probably knohat he's doing

Nah, not worth giving him another notch for his sexual belt I did have my pride

But not orgasms

Please, shut up

"I didn't even say anything How can I shut up?"

Oh God, it was him I knew it

I dragged in a deep breath and turned around

THE MOMENT I saw her, my heart stopped

I know it sounds like bullshit That stuff doesn't happen It's always glamorized in those pussy chick flicks Theeach other in the next half hour Trust ht I was actually in love once but quickly got screwed--and not in a good way--and not once has an paused in my chest

She was fucking gorgeous

Not in the way I kneas so used to tons oftits It's the way it is I run in circles of society and et out of it and despise the surface crap, I'enuine, I found out later it was an act--a way to grab my attention and seem different

But this girl rocked me First off, she came alone, and seees of the party with a thoughtful, analyzing air that intrigued me She emanated a quiet, confident presence that radiated around her, like she was a calm in the storhter and antics in the pool and around the bar Not necessarily above it all Aled to join but had accepted she wasn't ht and silky past her shoulders and hid her face, like a screen that swayed back and forth in a game of peekaboo It was a rich shade of brownish black that contrasted with her pale skin Sort of like Snow White in modern day When the curtain finally parted, I was fascinated by her face

Large almond eyes, dark as sin, stared back at me Her mouth looked swollen, as if she chewed on her li

ps as a nervous habit, but h cheekbones, strong jaw, broad forehead The one-piece bathing suit shouldn't have been sexy when surrounded by miniscule bikinis, but it was Hell yeah it was The sih to eht of those calves gripping my hips as I thrust inside her made me hard When she turned to the side, I realized the suit pretty much had no back, and the fabric stretched over her ass like a gift fro her up so I could take her brutally against the wall, forcingtheuard She was unlike anyone I had ever seen, and my dick demanded to claim her

Of course, this hen a few of htbulb moment "Fresh meat, Ja her like you haven't eaten in a while"

"Anyone knoho she is?" I asked, never taking aze from her

"Nah, probably one of the spring breakers in for the week Your parties are legendary here--and it's no secret pretty ed "She's pretty Nothing I'd be chasing though, especially with your options"

Adanored "Where's her group? Never saw girls come alone before"

"I think she did," I said

"Looks snobby to ood for the others Besides, she looks cold as ice What the hell is she doing wearing a one-piece?"

"I think it's sexy as hell," Iback, I wish I had kept s would've ended up differently

My friends shared a knowing look "You got it bad, bro," Adam commented "But I'd bet not even you could tumble her"

Rich grinned "Agreed She's buttoned up so tight you'd need a crowbar to pry off that suit Probably one of those control freak, studious types that doesn't kno to let loose" He gave a mock shudder "No, thank you"
