waiting for him to come back. It was getting late and I had an early class so when he came back to the room I would say goodnight and then go up to bed. He was taking kind of a long time so I walked around his room and looked at the picture he had on his desk. He had one picture of him, his parents, two women who had to be his sisters, an older woman and another couple and their children and they were all on a yacht. It was a stunning group of people and they all looked really happy and really rich. Must be nice.



“That’s my family.” His deep voice caught me off guard and I spun around to face him.



“I wasn’t snooping, I just wanted to take a quick look at the picture since it was on your desk and you were taking a while.”



“Sorry about that, I had to take care of business.”



I glanced down at his pants and could see that the bulge was gone. Oh! He took care of that in the bathroom, got it! Jonathan walked over to me and slipped his arm around my waist and picked up the picture.



“These are my parents, which I’m sure you already knew, these are my beautiful sisters Claire and Abby, this is my Nana Bunny, this is my uncle Jake and Aunt Lauren and my cousins Emily and Jeremy. We took this picture on a trip to Croatia for my parents 20th wedding anniversary.”



“Your family is so beautiful and they look so happy.”



“Thanks, yeah, they’re a pretty happy bunch and really fun to be around.” He put the picture back down on his desk.



“Jonathan, it’s getting late and I have an early class tomorrow so I better get up to bed. Thanks for an amazing night.”



“You don’t have to leave Sky, I don’t have a roommate so you can stay with me. I’ll give you a t-shirt to sleep in. Will you please stay?”



It was so hard to resist those gorgeous dark eyes that were begging me to stay.



“I better go back to my room Jonathan, I won’t be able to control myself if I stay.”



I couldn’t believe that I had let that slip out and I wanted to just die of embarrassment.



“Being in control when you want to lose control makes things so much more interesting. I promise I won’t let anything happen. I just want to hold you in my arms all night and feel your body next to mine.”

My belly flipped when he said that to me and that was what I wanted too. I didn’t want to leave him so I quickly changed into his shirt and crawled under his covers, full makeup and all. I was sitting up, waiting for him to join me. His eyes glazed over with lust, I saw it, and he quickly caught himself.



“You look amazing in my t-shirt. Are you comfortable, can I get you anything?”



“Can you set your alarm for 6:30? I can’t be late for class.”



“Sure thing.” He walked over to the table next to the bed and set his alarm. He stood there for a minute and I really wanted to feel him next to me.



“Thanks. Are you going to join me?”



He turned off his light and slipped into bed behind me. My heart was thumping against my chest as I felt his warm hands slide down to my hips pulling me close to him. I wanted so badly to turn around and kiss him but I knew it would lead to more. His arm wrapped around my stomach, holding me close to him and I snuggled against him feeling his warm breath in my ear.



“Are you comfortable, Sky?”



“I’m perfect. I’m glad we stayed in tonight, Jonathan, I had a really good time with you.” My words were a whisper as my eyelids became heavy.

He squeezed me tight. “Ditto.”



I drifted off to sleep happier than I had been in a very long time.

Chapter Thirteen

 The next morning Jonathan’s alarm startled me awake and at first I didn’t know where I was, but then I looked over at him and happiness swept over me.



“Good morning, beautiful.” I don’t know how it was possible, but he was even more yummy in the morning with his hair tousled and his chiseled chest begging for me to touch it. I literally had to suck in air when my eyes fell on his gorgeous chest.



I smiled at him. “Good morning.”



He had a t-shirt on when he climbed into bed and he must have taken it off during the night. Let me just say that it’s a good thing I didn’t see that last night because there was no way I would have been able to control myself. His chest looked like it had been carved from stone and his muscles were so defined and perfect. Each muscle was more perfect than the next; he was an absolute specimen. I wanted to jump his bones right there but I didn’t have time so I climbed out of bed and quickly put on my clothes. I glanced at myself in the mirror and I was instantly horrifed. Could my mascara be any more smeared all over my face?



I wiped away what I could and stood away from the bed so that Jonathan couldn’t see the mess so up close and personal.



“I’ll see you later?” I was almost afraid to ask him but I wanted him to know that I expected that last night was the beginning of something between us.



“Yes, of course. My last class is at 2:00 and then I have band practice at 4:30. Do you want to meet in the library at 8:15 and study together?”



Of course I did! “Sure, sounds good. I’ll meet you by the circulation desk.”



“Okay. Hey, come here.”



I hesitated. “My face is a mess and my makeup is everywhere, trust me it’s best if you don’t get a close-up.”



“You’re being silly. Please come here.”



I reluctantly walked over to him, quickly wiping under my eyes, hoping I got the worst of it.



He pulled me down to him for a quick peck on the lips.



“Have a good day.”



I couldn’t help but smile at him. “You too.”



I literally felt like I floated up the stairs to my room. Katie was fast asleep and I quietly grabbed my things and went down the hall to shower. I was in heaven as I replayed the previous night over and over. His kisses everywhere, his touch, his voice, how sweet he was to me, all of it I replayed. There was no question in my mind that Jonathan and I were an official couple, and I was going to have to force myself to focus in class that entire day. It wasn’t even 7:00 a.m. and I already couldn’t wait until 8:15 p.m. came.



I was in my own world as I showered and as I wandered back to our room, Katie was just waking up.



“Where have you been all night missy?” Her voice was groggy but her curiosity was sharp and clear.



I decided that I was just going to tell her, no need to be coy about Jonathan anymore.



“I was with Jonathan.” I gave her a knowing look and then went to our closet to find clothes for the day.



She shot up in bed and I burst out laughing. “You what?!”



“You heard me.” I didn’t even try to stop the huge smile that spread across my face.



“Skylar Miller, I want every single juicy detail! You still owe me the story of what happened at dinner with his parents!”



“I cant right now Katie, I have class at 8:00 and I have to grab breakfast first. Can you do lunch around 12:30?”



“Um, yeah, I have a break from 11:50 to 2:00.”



“Okay, I’ll meet you at the cafeteria and I promise I will tell you all about it.”



That seemed to satisfy her, so I finished getting ready and she slumped back down under her covers. I grabbed my backpack and headed off to breakfast.



I don’t know how I was able to focus in class, but somehow I absorbed everything the professor was saying. I think the fact that I didn’t have to worry about what was going on with Jonathan and I really helped me be able to concentrate in class. That probably sounds pretty pathetic, but you know what it’s like when you have a huge crush on someone and those feelings just overwhelm you? That’s what I was dealing with but I had to get my feelings about him under control or my schoolwork would suffer, and for me that was not an option. So I was really happy that things seemed to be on track with us.



I had three classes that morning and then it was time to meet Katie for lunch. She was already waiting for me by the time I got there and she barely waited for me to say hi before she started in on me.



“I have been dying to hear what happened last night. Tell me everything and don’t rush through any of the details!”



I didn’t mind telling her because I knew that she would be happy for me. I didn’t have to worry about any sort of jealousy with Katie.



Her wide eyes and excited expression made me giggle. “Okay, I won’t leave out the good stuff, I promise!”



We got our food and sat at a table by ourselves so that we would have privacy, I didn’t want everyone to know about Jonathan and me, at least not yet.



“Remember I told you we were going to dinner with Jonathan’s parents?”



“Yeah, how was it?”



“They are super nice and my parents and his parents really hit it off, it was kinda weird. But that wasn’t the weirdest thing. Guess who else was there?”



“Oh my gosh, who?”



“Boobs McGee.”



The look on Katie’s face was priceless. “You are kidding! What was she doing there? Wait, was he trying to go out with both of you at the same time?”



“Well, that’s what I thought when I first saw her, but you’ll never guess the reason she was there.”



“Tell me, tell me!”



“Wait for it…she is his cousin!”



“No way! But she always looks like she wants to jump his bones, how gross!”



“Well, I should be more clear, she is his cousin by marriage.”



“Huh? I’m confused.”



“His dad’s cousin married her mom so, technically, they’re not related. You should have seen the way his mom looked at her, she is definitely not a fan. Oh, oh! And Barbi is not her full name, it’s really Barbara, so all of that Barbi with an “i” crap was just that, crap!”



“Wow, I can’t believe it!”



“Yeah, and she even tried to get Jonathan to go to her room that night, can you believe that? In front of his parents she was full on flirting with him and mama did not likey at all!”



“Ugh, she’s so disgusting, such trash. How did Jonathan handle it?”



“Well that’s the frustrating thing, he feels sorry for her
