wedding.”
Well that was certainly convenient.
“But as to avoid a conflict of interest, I must request that if I get involved, you have to be up front with him about this experiment.”
“I understand,” I said, even though it could compromise the integrity of my research. “Of course. Thank you for offering to help.”
“I’m fascinated by this project, so I’m happy to do it. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
I forced a smile I didn’t really feel. I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or if I was the biggest idiot ever for even attempting this.

True to his word, Austin found out the plan for my date with the rock star. Dax had planned to take me out to dinner at some little Italian bistro, and then we’d see where things went after that.
Also true to his word, Scott spent as much time as he possibly could prepping me for our Stats test. I felt as ready as I’d ever feel.
So after my Thursday classes, I dug through my closet for something to wear. I truthfully hoped the night would end in Dax’s bed. Or mine. I wasn’t super picky. Apart from the time I’d spent studying and focusing on my other dates, I found myself thinking a lot about Dax. He was the total package.
I was excited to see where things could go with us despite the fact that I may have roused him from a bed he’d been sharing with another woman when I called.
He was allowed to sleep with whoever he wanted pre-Piper. But once the two of us started our thing, he wouldn’t want any other women.
That’s what I kept telling myself. I was pretty sure I wasn’t worthy of him, though. He was a sex/rock god, and I was just a Psychology major/bookworm.
I finally settled on a dress. I chose a black and low cut one, and it gave him good access should he feel the need to fuck me in an alley somewhere. Not that I thought that would happen.
It would probably be on a bed.
I slipped on my favorite heels, spritzed on some perfume, and I was ready to go. Forty-five minutes early.
I ran over to Starbucks. I’d need fuel for my date, especially if he planned to work me over in his bed for the rest of the night.
To say I had high hopes for this date would be a complete understatement.
After I placed my order, I stood next to the pickup counter and fiddled with my phone while I waited.
“Piper?” The voice didn’t belong to the barista.
I glanced up and my eyes met Scott’s. His eyes looked extra blue against his black shirt. The shirt went well with his glasses. He looked smart, but he also looked somehow… Sexy?
He’d never looked sexy to me before.
Never.
And suddenly he was.
Just like that.
I had to get control of myself. Perhaps I needed to stop reading the book I’d been reading. It was a good one, but the girl had fallen for her best friend even though there was zero chance of it working out. I couldn’t put my finger on why I’d chosen that one to read, but as Scott’s eyes locked on mine, I had a sneaking suspicion my subconscious had been working overtime.
I sighed. “Hey, Scotty.”
“You’re…” He paused and shifted on his feet. “…beautiful.” His voice drifted softly over to me, and it made me feel all fluttery.
“Thanks.”
A tiny smile turned up his lips. “So the rock star is the lucky recipient of this dress?”
I nodded. “He’s picking me up at eight.”
“And you’re fueling?” He nodded to the pickup counter.
“Of course.”
I heard my name again, but this time it was the barista calling me. My coffee sat on the counter. I picked it up and tipped my cup in Scott’s direction. “Have a great night. Don’t stay up too late.”
“See you bright and early for the test. You’re ready for it, so don’t even think twice about it.” His voice wasn’t the usual cheery voice I’d grown used to. Something seemed to be bothering Scott. He seemed almost wistful.
I turned to leave, but then I realized I’d dwell on what was going on with him for the rest of the
