“That was amazing,” I say, clapping my hands together. Zeke’s blue eyes are still burning into mine. He slides the guitar off of his lap and leans forward to wrap his hands around my wrists.
I suck in my breath. He’s so close, and he leans closer still.
I realize what is happening and I do nothing to stop it. In fact, I do exactly the opposite.
I tilt my head back, allowing easier access for Zeke to plant his lips on mine.
I can’t breathe. I close my eyes.
And, then, gently, so gently, Zeke brushes his soft lips against mine. I didn’t expect him to be so tender. Goosebumps prickle the back of my neck when he runs his fingers through my hair.
It’s fireworks. It’s a tingling sensation throughout my entire body. It’s everything that a young woman wishes her first kiss to be, but I soon realize that I might not be stopping at first base.
Zeke lays back on the bed, pulling me down alongside him. His hands grab my hips, pulling my body against his as he kisses me again.
It’s not as gentle this time, but it’s infinitely hotter. I follow his lead, opening my mouth when he does, and feel another jolt of electricity when his tongue finds mine. The metal stud of his tongue piercing feels foreign in my mouth, but the taboo makes it exhilarating.
I can’t believe I’m doing this. I can’t believe this is my first kiss.
Zeke’s hands move down from my hips, cupping both cheeks of my ass. He squeezes, pulling me closer to him, and I can feel a hard bulge pushing up between my legs.
I can’t believe that I’m making out with this gorgeous hunk of man. Zeke’s lips persist as I run my fingers along his sides, careful to avoid his wound, and marvel at the smoothness of his skin.
Zeke isn’t keeping his own hands still, either. He snakes one hand underneath the back of my shirt, expertly unhooking my bra before I even realize what’s happening. I pull away as the straps loosen.
“Zeke, I can’t,” I breathe, but Zeke moves his mouth to kiss along my neck. I gasp when he cups my breast, feeling above the fabric.
“There’s something I should tell you,” I warn in a whisper. My voice sounds serious enough that Zeke lifts his head to face me. His sky-blue eyes gaze into mine, his expression patient. I see genuine affection there, but it doesn’t dampen the embarrassment I suddenly feel when faced with making my confession.
“I’ve never done this before.”
Zeke’s eyebrows furrow and he cocks his head in just the slightest degree, pushing the top of his head into the pillow.
“Thismeaning,” Zeke trails off, lowering his chin.
“I’ve never had sex before. I’m a-”
There’s a swooshing sound as Zeke’s door flies open, but it’s too late. The word is already coming out of my mouth.

“Virgin.”
Rex and Gunner sweep through the doorway, but the word that they overhear unexpectedly stops them in their tracks.
“Uh, what?” Rex is grinning, but he tilts his head to one side, as if confused. He laughs and saunters towards us, still laying on the bed.
I sit up, but it’s too late. We’ve been caught in the act. Heck, they have caught me mid-confession. I couldn’t look more guilty right now. My cheeks are burning, beet red, and my lips feel swollen.
Rex casually perches on a stool on Zeke’s side and Gunner stands at the foot of the bed, hands in his pockets. He’s not scowling for once. In fact, his hazel eyes gaze at me with renewed interest.
“Goldie was telling me something,” Zeke says. When he nudges me, I look at him with horror.
“Go on, babe,” Zeke nods encouragingly. “They’ve already heard and we share everything, anyway.”
My mouth drops.He can’t be serious.But I remember what I overheard when I was in the bathroom.
