“Once or twice.”

“Do you even remember their names?”

Without missing a beat, Noah replied, “Elena Collins was my first love. I asked her to Homecoming in ninth grade.”

“Aw, you do remember her.”

With a wicked grin, Noah replied, “She also gave me my first hand job that night.”

Disgust flickered through me. “I should’ve known you’d find a way to make it something sexual.”

Noah laughed. “Hey, we dated for like six months before homecoming. I was due a little below-the-waist appreciation.”

“Once again, you’re a pig.”

“Aren’t all fifteen-year-old dudes?”

“I suppose so.” Cocking my brows at him, I asked, “And what about the second girl?”

“Madison Hunnely.”

“Let me guess. She was your first blow job?”

“Actually, Elena took care of both of those.”

“And Madison?” I prompted.

“I dated her my first year of college.”

My eyes popped wide at his admission. “You dated her a whole year?”

“Most of it.”

“I’m impressed you were actually committed that long.”

“She was a cool girl. She was on a track scholarship, so she totally got being a dedicated athlete.”

“Have you dated a lot of runners?”

“More than a few. I seemed to be really attracted to them.”

I stiffened in his arms. “Because of their build,” I stated more than questioned. As I stared into Noah’s eyes, I couldn’t hide the pain and doubt swirling in them.

“Don’t go there.” When I didn’t respond, Noah brought his hand to my chin, forcing me to look at me. “Donotgo there,” he commanded again.

“Old habits.”

“You need to bury those old habits.”

“Easier said than done.”

Placing his hands on my cheeks, Noah said, “Hear me when I say this, Gaby. I wasn’t with those girls because of their build.”

I stared intently into his gorgeous blue eyes before finally bobbing my head. “Then what was it about them?”

“They understood competition and how I had to put swimming before anything else.”

“Before anything oranyone?”
