“Val may havehelped.But otherwise, this is all me.”

“Yeah, yeah.OK ...”

“No seriously.”

“Yeah.OK.”

“Lonnie, I totally want to date the hell out of you, starting tomorrow.”

She opens her mouth to throw out another retort but stops, her gaze roaming my face as if she’s studying me.“You’reactuallyserious.”

“I wouldn’t sell myself to my best friend if I wasn’t one hundred percent, absolutely sure.”

“Wow.So I own you now?”

I chuckle, lifting my hand up to rub over the back of my neck.“Yes, I guess you do.”For the first time while I know she’s looking, I lazily drag my eyes down her body and slowly let them drift back over those delicious curves of hers and that fucking gorgeous dress until I meet her eyes again.“You look amazing, Lonnie.”

“Well, youdidrequest this dress,” she says, giving me a slow twirl.All I want to do is pull her into my arms and kiss her properly—a first kiss re-do.But that, too, can wait.I’m doing this right and I’m doing this properly.Because this isn’t just about me anymore.

I’m not giving up with this girl until she tells me it’s done.Whatever I have to do, whatever it takes, bending rules, breaking them, anything ...I’ll do it.

Because if my little epiphany last weekend has proven anything, it’s that I’ve wasted enough time already, and if I don’t hurry up and make London mine, then I really will be the fool everyone thinks I am.

And if there’s one thing I love to do, it’s prove people wrong.

“Tomorrow night is going to be interesting.Do I get any clues?”she asks, her voice a little rough, letting me know I’m not the only one thinking about fast-forwarding things at warp speed.How have I never noticed those perfectly curved lips of hers and picturing my teeth digging into her skin…

“That’s for me to know and you to find out, London Kelly.But until then, you’re going to let me take you back to your table, since it’sValwho’s your date tonight—not me.”

She pouts and I have to clench my fists at my sides to stop myself from hauling her against me and kissing the shit out of her.

“But tomorrow?”I lean in, letting myself have this one gift as I brush my lips over her cheek, loving the way her breath stutters and her body trembles at my touch.“Tomorrow, you’re all mine.”
