Chapter One
Even though I’m not the kind of girl to do this sort of thing, I’m also not the kind of girl to just up and leave everything and start fresh. Except that’s what I’m doing so maybe it’s okay to do this sort of thing, too. Maybe it can all be part of my big change. It can all be part of me throwing off all of the fake responsibilities that make me unhappy and letting go of what everyone else says that I’m supposed to do. I mean, it doesn’t really matter at this point. I’m doing it. I’m not the kind of girl to do this sort of thing but I’m doing it.
Wow.
So, I just read what I wrote.
Geez. Thanks for putting up with me. I think I need to start over. My name is Miranda. I’m twenty-two years old. I just graduated from college with a degree in accounting and realized looking for jobs that I hate everything about being an accountant. I only studied accounting because my parents own an accountancy. Anyway, I’m kind of freaking out because all of a sudden, I don’t have a plan. I end up talking to my best friend. Nina tells me to come live with her for as long as I want but at least six months. She’s up in the mountains, a little town called Pinecrest Peak.
So, I packed up my stuff, load up the car, and started the three-day drive. There. That’s my big change.
What I’m about to do, the kind of thing a girl like me doesn’t do, is fuck a man I met thirty minutes ago. I’m totally going to have a one-night stand with a guy I’ll never see again. I mean, I’m totally about to have sex with a stranger in a room in a roadside motel on the highway. I don’t do this sort of thing!
In fact, and you’re never going to believe this, Jacob is only going to be the second man I’ve slept with. I don’t mean I haven’t fooled around with other guys. As far as going all the way, though, it’s only one man before tonight. I’m usually damned restrained. I mean, I had sex six or seven times during my senior year of high school with my high school boyfriend. That’s it. I thought I was going to marry him. Other than that, it’s just blowjobs and hand jobs, and not too many of those.
Okay, I think I’m just nervous and so I’m droning on.
I pull into this motel parking lot because I need a place to sleep and there’s also a nice little diner where I can have something to eat other than fast food and gas station snacks. It’s at the diner that I see Jacob. We’re both eating at the counter. I’m immediately struck by how sexy he is. He’s muscular but not like a sports star of something. He’s just badass muscular. Speaking of badass, he’s got on a motorcycle club vest. Midnight Avengers. He looks dangerous but he also looks…
How the hell do I explain it?
Anyway, the first thing I notice is how kind he is to the waitress, you know. I guess I expect him to be a little more demanding, if that makes any sense. I guess I expect less kindness and civility. I mean, he looks like he could snap a person in two just as easily as he might take a sip of coffee.
I’m afraid I’m not very polite. I kind of stare at him.
It’s not intentional. You just have to understand that for the last few years, I’ve pretty much lived an insular life. I mean, I spend almost twenty-four hours a day on campus. I guess when you first show up and you’re brand new in town, you’re wide-eyed and excited about everything but by the time you’re done with a semester, things just aren’t all that new. You just live on your little campus island if that makes any sense.
So, I stare at the man without trying to.
He finally flashes me a smile and says, “Well, you’re either a bounty hunter following up on a warrant I don’t know about or you’re wondering what possesses a man to risk the catfish dinner at a place like this.”
Of course, I turn beet red. I think it’s a miracle I managed to reply. I don’t do half bad, though. I say, “Oh, I think there are a lot more possibilities if you have an open mind.” Like I said, it wasn’t that bad at all. The problem, of course, is that I feel even more embarrassed afterward. Yeah, I don’t have a great deal of experience with this sort of thing.
“Well,” he says, “We’ll have to investigate this. More possibilities? Let me think, and I promise I’m keeping an open mind.”
Well, I could keep going but I think the important thing is that we eat. We pay the bill. We leave the diner. We cross the parking lot. We end up in my room. Seriously, do we need to go through all the banter? I mean, he closed the deal just by his first words to me. Don’t get me wrong. The whole time we’re headed to my room, I’m nervous as can be, pretty freaked out and all that.
But it’s a done deal.
And I’m excited about it.
You know, so excited it’s a miracle I don’t just collapse.
But I don’t collapse and once we get through the door, I don’t have to worry about collapsing because Jacob’s arms go around me, and when that happens, I’m not going anywhere. I can tell you that the kiss goes far beyond any kiss in my past. I mean, it’s kind of night and day, actually. He kisses me in a way that… Well, I’m not sure I can explain it very well. It’s like the way he kisses me tells me that he’s taking control. No problem. I can relax. He’ll take over. This isn’t about me impressing him. This isn’t about stress or figuring out what to do.
He’s got this.
I know. Crazy, right?
Well, I’m blown away and I just let him take control. He kisses me and his hands move over my body and I stop trying to figure out what I’m supposed to do or what’s supposed to happen next. Instead, I just follow Jacob’s lead.
And that’s how I end up naked on the bed with my legs resting over his shoulders and his mouth between my legs.
Chapter Two
I’ve changed my mind. If this is how one-night stands feel, then I am definitely the kind of girl to do this sort of thing. If I wasn’t before, I sure as hell am now.
How in the world do I go through my entirely sexually active life without experiencing this? Given that ninety-nine percent of what I do is fooling around, it seems particularly crazy that I only feel it now. Jacob’s tongue is just… I don’t know a good enough way to describe things here except, I guess, to say that my fingers have been down there. Boys’ fingers have been down there. A few sex toys have been down there.
