He rolled up to a stoplight and eased on the brakes "No No boyfriend either"

I giggled I couldn’t help it My body relaxed and slipped to the side, sagging against the door With a hiccup, I turned and watched hi hot The insane impulse to crawl across the seat and press my mouth to his neck seized me Alcohol motivated, I’ht and I would typically be tangled up with a boy by now

He consideredme feel all soft and fuzzy inside The cab of the truck felt warht here "So how come you don’t have a boyfriend like your friends do, Ehed sleepily "A boyfriend would just keepwhatever I wanted to do" Was that leas, encased in snug deniard and the sensation wasn’t entirely bad "And what kinds of things do you want to do?" His voice dragged over ainst the back of the seat I was buzzing, floating in a feel-good state I felt a little dangerous, untouchable, which was a heady thing Deceptive ain "Oh, all kinds of bad things"

And then, because I couldn’t stop myself, I stretched toward him as far as my seat belt would allow Until the tip of ainst his skin as I spoke, "Things like this"

A sudden surge of need shookI’d felt before and that rattled uys that I should have felt this way before, but so about this, about him, was different

I leaned closer, ready to crawl into his lap, butfarther It was enough Enough to bringuys like hi wary as I watched hi with a predatory light He looked like he wanted to say so Like maybe haul uys who couldn’t be ed It was a line I never crossed except I just had

A horn honked behind us He blinked and turned his attention to the road

I willed hiet us across town so that I could dive into ht ahead, one hand draped casually over the top of the steering wheel "I don’t think you’re the bad girl you pretend to be Not even close"

I cohts flash past as we entered the city No point in arguing Not unless I wanted to prove to hiirl, and I didn’t dare do that
