I’ve sworn off men forever
Okay, not forever but for a few months.
After my last hook up, my vag needs a reset
the last man to touch me broke it in the worst of ways.
Not a problem,
until my new dance partner comes into the picture.
He’s turning into my forbidden fruit,
tempting me in ways I didn’t know possible.
I have three months of celibacy ahead of me
and eight weeks to whip my new dance partner into shape.
Someone save me.
Excerpt
Carter drops his arms but takes my hand. The little squeeze he
gives shoots a bolt of lightning straight to my vag. Forgive me,
Grams!
I cross my legs because I am not an uncivilized cavewoman. I can
control the urge to rip his clothes off. I can!
“Grams would probably die if she saw how hot you’ve gotten.”
Carter’s lips lift in the corners. He drops my hand and reaches
for his beer. No more than five seconds pass between the time his skin leaves
mine to when he opens his mouth to speak again, but I feel every pound of my
heart and every ounce of nervous adrenaline pumping through my veins.
Making my intent to fuck known to a stranger is easy. But telling
Carter… the guy I never saw myself lusting for, the guy who dried my tears when
Jimmy Dumont—my high school boyfriend—cheated on me, the guy who rode his bike
to the CVS when I got my first period to get me tampons in the sixth-grade…
This takes nerve racking to a new level.
“Avery Andrioli thinks I’m hot.” He smirks.
My cheeks flush an embarrassing shade of red, but I hold his gaze.
I’m not the same meek girl in high school who shied away from life. New York
hardened me, shaped me into the woman I am today, and this girl knows what she
wants.
I’m not leaving until I get it.
I lean forward and slide my hand up Carter’s thigh. If he’s
surprised by my advance, he hides it well, holding that irritatingly sexy smirk
along with my gaze. “I think you and I could have some fun tonight, if you can
handle me.”
Carter chuckles and shifts to pull his wallet out of his back
pocket. He drops a fifty-dollar-bill on the counter, almost double what our
drinks cost.
He tangles his fingers with mine and leads me outside. Once we’re
outside, Carter pins me up against the wall and presses his mouth mine, his
tongue moving with expert precision, turning me into a wet mess.
Carter grips my thighs and lifts me. I wrap my legs around him
instinctively, the bulge I speculated about presses against my center through
his jeans. I rock my hips, moaning into his mouth while his fingers pull at my
roots.
If I wasn’t so lost in his kiss, I’d be embarrassed at how close I
am to coming from a little lap love and lip-locking. Dear God, I hope Carter
is as good in bed as he is at kissing.
The world spins behind closed lids. It’s a good spin, unrelated to the alcohol I drank. I peek one eye open and run my hand down the center of his thigh. “How tired are you?”
Carter’s eyebrows shoot up. This is a bad idea, but I don’t care.
If I regret it in the morning, I’ll blame the alcohol, but tonight I want to
have fun.
“Suddenly, I’m feeling wide awake.” He turns his head, looking
into my eyes, and cups my cheek.
I lean into his hand, so big and strong.
“I thought you just wanted to be friends?” he whispers, his nose
brushing against my other cheek.
“Not tonight,” I tell him truthfully. Celibacy be damned, I want
to feel Carter between my legs. I have a gut feeling that this time will be
worlds better than the last. “Tonight, I wanna be just you and me. Whatever
else we are is fine too.”
“Perfect.” He presses his mouth against mine. I fall into his
lips, that tongue making my insides melt.
“Whoo, hooo! Get it girl!” Benny yells and I swear I could throat
punch him.
Carter laughs and pulls back resting his forehead against mine. “Maybe
we can finish this in the room tonight.”
“Yes!” I say, not at all embarrassed by my enthusiasm.
“Definitely.”
