Chapter Nine
XANDER
––––––––
We didn’t even makethe turn-off on Cedar Lane before she passed out.I glance down and kiss her forehead after the car is parked, and I turn the engine off.I sit in the driver’s seat debating, wondering, and fighting internally with myself.She is beautiful, bright, and a smart ass, and I would do anything for her.If she only knew that I have been waiting for someone like her all my life.
Someone sweet, honest, and loyal, and her family is the typical all-American family.Down to earth would go out of their way for you.Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen these Johnson sisters kick ass and stand up for each other.It’s something I didn’t have growing up.
She begins to move.I quickly get out of the car, run to the passenger door, and open it.She pushes herself out and right into my arms.I help guide her up the path and open the door.She stumbles in and falls onto the couch.
I haven’t the heart to leave her just yet.I sit in the bulky chair in the corner and watch her chest rise and fall with every breath she takes.
Beautiful, smart, outgoing, and what a mouth on her.She enjoys watching sports, joking around, playing darts, and singing to the jukebox.She’s everything I’ve been waiting for and then some.I check the time on my phone and shoot Nicki a message that Keni is safe.I should head home myself.
I grab the blanket off the back of the couch and cover her.Hoping not to disturb her, I whisper, “one kiss, that’s all I’m going to take from you tonight.But one day, I’ll give you all of me.”
Our lips touch, and she moves slightly opening her lips.I can’t stop myself.I slide my tongue in, and her arms wrap around my neck, pulling me closer.
It’s overwhelming, the sensations running through my body, instantly making me hard.I need to stop this.She’s been drinking, it’s not right, and I’ve...I’ve never wanted anyone more.
I pull back.Her big brown eyes stare back at me.With a smile, she tugs the blanket, turns to her side, and says, “night Xander.”
I gulp down hard, take a deep breath and walk towards the hall, “Goodnight, Kendra,” I say.Her beautiful smile is the last thing I see before closing the door.

KENDRA
The smell of his cologne still lingers in my apartment as I remove myself from the couch and start a pot of coffee.Leaning against the counter, I bring my fingertips to my lips.One kiss, and I wanted him and everything he has to offer in life.
But I couldn’t.It wasn’t right.Not for his first time, at least.
The first time you have sex should be special.A little romance, some foreplay, and the perfect setting with a person you care about.Not a late, drunk night at a house party on top of a bunch of coats in some stranger’s parents’ bedroom.Trust me, I know.
I pop the cap off the aspirin bottle and spill two into my palm, taking them with a sip of my coffee.Stepping into the living room, I grab my phone from the table and text Xander.
