"No we don’t," I practically shouted, "we need to get out of here, now"

Colt leaned over and asked, "Lauren, are you okay?"

Stopping, I looked into Colt’s eyes They were breathtaking Blue like the sky behind hiet back to A&M, Colt" Shaking my head, I whispered, "I want to feel you inside rin appeared and an to race with excitement "Luke and Libby knoe love theift"

Noddingfor my hand, Colt pulled me toward his truck "Colt, all my stuff is at Josh and Heather’s house"

Colt practically pulledback over my shoulder, no one even paid attention to us as we quickly left the reception No one that is, but Grace Lifting her hand and givingher head, she turned on her heels and walked off

Colt stopped and opened his truck door as he tookinto the truck, his eyes captured mine They were on fire as I sucked in a breath "Where we’re going, Lauren, you’re not going to need your purse, or clothes"

My eyes widened as I si, I cleared my throat and said, "What about my cell phone? Or money?"

"I have a phone and I have , I whispered, "Clean panties for tomorrow?"

Colt lifted his eyebrows as he atte, sweetheart?"

"I’d feel better knowing I hadin further, he kissed esture "Of course it is"

Moving quickly, he buckled me in, shut the door and made his way over to the driver’s side of his truck

I wasn’t sure how Colt and I went fros, to leaving our best friends’ wedding to go so, I shook my head because I didn’t care I wanted this I’d wanted it for so long I was just too stupid and stubborn to admit it to myself Libby and Alex had found love and happiness I wanted that too, and I knew Colt was the only one ould be able to giveup the stairs to Josh and Heather’s house I used the key I had and ran as fast as I could in my heels and dress up the stairs and to Libby’s rooht bag Turning, I looked around for Alex’s bag Seeing it on the floor, I s Alex early this , I heard her tell Grace she had packed two outfits for Will, but she wasn’t sure she would get to use them if the parents didn’t all stay in one house

Soht my eye as I reached in and pulled out a beautiful blue satin, barely there, piece of lingerie Clutching it tothe lingerie in , I skipped down the stairs and out to Colt’s truck Finally, Colt was going to make me his

SITTING IN MY truck, I tapped the steering wheel to calm my nerves What had happened in the last hour? I went fro her to let me make love to her

What if I fuck this up? What if I don’t h for her? My father’s words froo invadedyou both want Be gentle and think about her one hundred percent of the time Show her how much she means to you above all Remind her how much you love her The moment can never be repeated"

The door to Josh and Heather’s beach house opened, and Lauren ca my head, I couldn’t help but smile Lauren was so full of life She made sure to live each day with as much zest as she could

As she moved closer to the truck, my heartbeat increased I wanted to take her back to A&M, but when Lauren said she couldn’t wait, I knew I had better check us into a hotel The last thing I wanted to do was end up taking her in my truck

The door opened and Lauren threw her bag onto the back seat Hopping up into the truck, she shut the door and turned to me with a look of sheer panic on her face

"I’, I nodded my head "Me too, Lauren"

Her s "I know you want to wait until we get back to A&Mbut I don’t think I can" Her eyes glanced down "Colt, I’ve wanted you for so long, and I’ it"
