“It’s me, Viv, can we talk, please?” It was Seth; he showed up at my house. At seven in the morning. What the hell? My heart fell into my gut, and then started pounding violently against my chest.

Her friend sucks. She should have went straight over to Jax and found out what was going on instead of assuming and then telling Viv.

She’s amazing. We’ve been out a couple times, and I’m f-king hooked on her. She’s like a little ray of sunshine. I think about her all the time. I think about ways to make her smile at me. I’m a ridiculous mess. We have so much fun together; we laugh and tease each other, and she is f-ing smoking hot. She is the whole package.” “So, how does she feel about you?” “I have no idea.

I spent the next couple of hours hoping to hear back from Vivian, which I did not, making me completely sick to my stomach. As the thought that I’d ruined my chances with her became more real, I began to rack my brain on why I cared so much after only going out with her a couple of times. The answer was simple. I was falling for this chick.

We walked along in silence, holding hands while I racked my brain on how to get out of having sex with her that night. The irony of the situation was also not lost on me; I’d never in my life tried to avoid sex, especially not with a sassy little fox like her. The internal dilemma was creating an anxiety I wasn’t sure how to handle.

My heart raced when he was around, and I was almost short of breath. He was so damn hot. Whenever he was in my presence, I wanted to be touching him. I absolutely loved when he wrapped me up in my arms; he felt so warm and comforting. He was also so sweet, and his demeanor toward me was playful, but also very loving.

He leaned in close to me, pressing his body into mine gently against the front door. “Vivian, I would love nothing more than to come in, but I’m working on being a gentleman, so I’m going to take a rain check. Would you do me the honor of letting me take you out again?”

“I’m taking Vivian out to dinner tonight.” He laughed. “So, where are you going to take the youngster?” “F**k off. She’s not that young,” I said. “I’m not sure. I haven’t figured out where to take her where we could have an actual conversation,” I admitted.

I was suddenly feeling like a high school girl, smitten or something, and it wasn’t anything—yet. I mean, anything is possible. Maybe just a good time was what the doctor ordered. It had been a long time since I’d had any real pleasure, and that man was walking hotness.

I blushed and returned his smile. I could sense his eyes on me as I walked in, even through his sunglasses. I felt an intense attraction to him. He looked like a bodyguard or a rock star, which was a complete turn-on. Something about the way he looked at me made me want to get him to talk more. So far, he had only spoken two sentences to me, and I was intrigued.
