His eyes narrowed, and he swirled some vodka around in his mouth, his Adam’s apple bobbing as it went down his throat. “You’re going to have to prove that to me, which is why we’re going slow and doing things my way. I’m going to show you how I’m the opposite of Prince Charming, and you’re going to show me you can handle that.”

“How?”

“First, you’re going to do a little homework. You’re going to watch some porn, talk to friends—not my sister. You’re going to recall every fantasy you’ve ever had. You do whatever you have to do to come up with a list of three things you want to try. Not sex. They can be anything but sex, and we’re going to turn those three fantasies into lessons. The fifth lesson, which I’m pretty positive we won’t make it to, is when I’ll take your virginity.”

I did some quick math in my head. “Five lessons? But you asked me to come up with three?”

“That’s because lesson one will be my pick, not yours.”

My skin was on fire.

My heart was pounding so hard that I was convinced he could hear it.

“But, Oaklyn, all of this is under one condition, and if I get a feeling that condition has been broken, we’re done.”

Now, even my ears were burning. “What’s the condition?”

“You can’t fall in love with me.”

Love.

Something my best friend would shoot me for.

But something I could certainly see being possible if we were going to share so many intimate moments together.

And that was when I realized the whole point of drawing this out.

Each lesson was a test. A way for me to prove that I wasn’t falling for him. But if I couldn’t do that, if he sensed my emotions were coming into play, we were over.

Camden didn’t think I was up for this kind of challenge.

I was going to show him how wrong he was.

“All right.” I took another drink.

“You and my sister are hopeless romantics. That shit isn’t happening here.”

“Fine, but I have a condition of my own.”

“You think you’re in a position to negotiate?” He winked. “I don’t think so.”

I ignored his cuteness and said, “My condition is that you have to teach me how to be the best lover. How to use my mouth and my hands and my body, so the next guy I date, I can blow his mind with my sexy skills.”

“Isn’t that what lessons are for?”

I took one more drink and returned the glass to the table. “And—”

“Fuck no. There is noandin this conversation.”

“Camden,” I gasped. His relentlessness made him the best litigator, but impossibly difficult to bargain with. “I’m giving you all my firsts. The fantasies I’m going to come up with are things I’ve never done before—I mean, I’ve done things, but not much. I want one of your firsts. I want something that you’ve never experienced with another woman.”

He leaned against the cushions, extending his arm across the back of the couch, a single eyebrow rising. “You do know there’s very little—if anything—that I haven’t done with a woman.”

“Now, that’s something that doesn’t surprise me.” I laughed.

He was quiet for a moment. “How about I promise to come up with something you won’t ever forget? Does that work?”

“I like that idea.” I stuck my hand toward him. “So, we have a deal?”
