certainly didn’t help at all as he followed after us
laughing.

 
    He kept his word and didn’t even give me so much as
a peck on the cheek when he walked me back to the pool house at the end of the
night. I tried to tell myself this was a good thing as I needed the time to
wrap my head around our conversation from earlier. Yet I couldn’t stop myself
from wishing that he’d given me a goodnight kiss. I already craved the feel of
his lips on mine.

 
    I tossed and turned through the night, torn by my
fears of jumping into a relationship with Drake and my desires. I dreamed of us
together, bodies entwined. The feel of his hard body crushed against me, his
lips devouring mine. The whisper of his strong fingers gliding down my body,
teasing me to the point of frenzy. My legs writhing together as my body
clenched in anticipation. I awoke, drenched in sweat, my heart beating
thunderously. I gasped for breath when my body pulsed as a climax rolled over
me.  

 
    Holy crap! Even in my dreams, the attraction
between us was insanely hot! I actually came because of a dream of Drake. Just
a dream. I didn’t know if I wanted to find him right this minute so I could
jump his bones or stay as far away from him as I possibly could. After
everything that had happened with Brad, I hadn’t so much as noticed another guy
in a sexual way. Drake was another story altogether. I couldn’t stop myself
from thinking about him. Great timing for my hormones to jump back to life.

 
    Luckily, the morning flew by. I’d jumped in the
shower and had a quick breakfast with my dad before we were to head to the
airport. Drake had stopped by while I was in the shower to see if I wanted to
eat with him. Dad had already been working on a batch of pancakes with yummy
maple syrup and fresh strawberries. It was my favorite breakfast, and Dad
wanted to surprise me. Drake couldn’t join us since his parents had expected him
to share breakfast with them, so I’d had a reprieve from seeing him for a
little bit.

 
    When we met outside at the car, Drake wrapped me
into a deep hug that seemed to last forever. He huffed as he let me go. “Missed
you this morning, babe.”

 
    I pushed myself away from him. “Drake, please
stop.”

 
    He raised a brow at me as I stepped away. “Not
gonna happen. My dad raised me to go after what I want, and I want you. Thought
I’d made that clear last night.”

 
    I shook my head at him in frustration. “Yes, you
made your intentions crystal clear. But I still need time to decide what I want
to do about them.”

 
    “Just don’t push me away. I can handle the wait,
but I want you to give me a chance. Spend time with me. Let us get to know each
other better, babe. You know you want to say yes.”

 
    “Fine! We can see each other when we get back on
campus and see what happens. Okay?” I huffed in exasperation.

 
    Drake’s eyes beamed at me as he grinned. “Better
than okay. Give me your cell. I need to make sure you can reach me.”

 
    I handed him my phone without really thinking about
it. Before I knew it, his cell was ringing in his front pocket. My eyes
followed his hand as he reached inside to pull his cell out. The phone snagged
on his shirt and lifted it up to reveal his six-pack abs. He pulled the phone
away and chuckled when he realized I was staring.

 
    “Hey! What are you doing?” I asked.

 
    “Doesn’t do me much good if you have my phone
number but I don’t have yours. I don’t know that I can trust you to call me
yet.” Drake handed my phone back to me. I glanced at the screen and saw that
he’d added himself to my contacts as ‘Drake aka My Boyfriend.’

 
    I couldn’t help the giggle that escaped my lips
before I changed the contact information to just his name. “Really? So you’re
my boyfriend now? After one sorta date at your parents’ house?”

 
    Drake shrugged his shoulders. “I’ll take whatever
edge I can get. Thought that subliminal
