Something about his voice caught my attention. When I looked at him, I saw his expression matched his tone. There was a raw desire there. He wasn’t even bothering to hide it. Maybe hecouldn’thide it.
Was that same desire reflected in my eyes? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
“We could stay here and enjoy the view,” I blurted.
Was that me? It didn’t sound like me. The voice seemed like it was coming from someone else—someone with a huskier, sexier voice.
And then he did something that surprised me. He took one step forward, then stopped. It was like he was waiting for me to make the decision about what to do next.
I didn’t even consciously will my feet to move me forward. It just happened. One step, then two. Then suddenly, I was in his arms, our mouths coming together in a hot, frenzied kiss.
It wasn’t the first time I’d been kissed, but it was the first time a kiss had ignited a fire inside me. Just the feel of his hands on my back made me lose all ability to breathe. It was too much but not enough at the same time.
Only as I felt his bulge against my stomach did I finally put a label on what I was feeling. I was turned on. Beyond turned on. If this guy didn’t touch me soon, I might explode. But I still hadn’t told him I was a virgin, and I was afraid to mention it.
I’d tell him soon enough. Right now, I was just going to enjoy this.

Ishould stop. It was the right thing to do—for both of us.
I didn’t know if that was physically possible with her kissing me. Or me kissing her. I wasn’t even sure who initiated it at this point. All I knew was that there was no turning back now.
Suddenly, Gennie broke the kiss, and as I looked down at her, I was blown away by the beautiful sight in front of me. It had been hard enough to take my eyes off her before, but now her lips were swollen, her face flushed. She looked hot as hell.
Yeah, there was no ending this now that it had started.
“Our friends had sex outdoors,” Gennie said. “I’m not sure where. When Vanessa told me about it, the first thing I asked was where they did it. It was just a patch of grass.”
She stopped and chewed her lip, suddenly looking nervous. Was she worried she was giving away too many details about her friend’s sex life? If so, I could assure her I really didn’t give a damn. The guys and I didn’t talk about stuff like that, but even if we did, I wasn’t going to run my mouth about anything Gennie told me.
Her secret was safe with me.
“A patch of grass?” I asked. “Not very imaginative.”
“Yeah, I guessed something hotter.”
“On a rock?”
She shook her head. “Against a tree.”
“You want me to push you up against a tree? That could be painful.”
She seemed to stop to think about it. “It’s more that feeling that you can’t control yourself. You have to have me now. I like that.”
This whole conversation was threatening to topple me over the edge. How was I supposed to hold out with her saying things like this?
“I kind of like that too,” I said. “In fact, I’d love to know you had to have me now.”
“You should know something first,” she said. “I just don’t know if I can tell you.”
“You’re a virgin.”
She gasped. “How could you possibly know that?”
“I asked before and you didn’t answer. Am I’m right?”
