No, this can’t be happening.

My breath halts the moment he turns Braxton’s truck toward my dorm instead of driving straight to jock housing. My mind scrambles with what to say. From his touches to his forward suggestions, I would have sworn he’d take me back to his place. I highly doubt my bed would be more comfortable than his double. So, why bring me here?

A part of me wishes I could be oblivious to his intentions and not care whether he brings me back to the dorm or his house, but that isn’t reality. I do care because I don’t want this night to end. I want us to take our relationship to the next level. Who knows when another opportunity will arise? I risk a glance at Noah. My heart sinks as indecision or maybe apprehension coats his features, revealing my concern that he’s talking himself out of this. I know his reputation. If I were any other girl, he’d have me in bed already. But if I were any other girl, he wouldn’t have taken me out on a date. I shake off the sting his rejection causes, knowing full well it’s just my insecurities resurfacing.

I unbuckle my belt and scoot across the leather interior until I’m next to him. He gives me a sideways glance but remains quiet. I have no idea what I’m doing. If I don’t try something seductive, I’ll end up frustrated after this perfect evening.

Twisting my body toward him, I trace my fingertips along his scalp just above his ear and place my other hand on his thigh. His breath stutters. I lean closer and drop my voice. “Thanks for tonight. I had a great time.”

“I did, too.” He pulls the truck into a parking spot but keeps the engine running. He unbuckles his seat belt and turns toward me, searching my eyes. At that moment, I wish I had all the experience in the world and could look back at him with those sexy eyes that say “fuck me.” Then, maybe he wouldn’t be so hesitant and wouldn’t see the nervousness and fears I can’t seem to hide.

My heart hammers as I summon the strength to say what my mind thinks. “I don’t want tonight to end.”

His breathing hitches as those greenish-brown eyes darken to a deep jade. I know he wants me just as badly as I want him, but getting him to cave to those desires is a whole other ballgame. Noah’s always in control of his emotions. Always reserved. For once, I wish he’d let go.

“Are you asking me up to your room, Sprinkles?”

“You know exactly what I’m asking for.” I watch his Adam’s apple bob up and down as he seems to contemplate my words. My body hums with anticipation.

“I want you to be one hundred percent sure if we do this.”

“Noah”—I squeeze his thigh, which earns me another stuttering breath—“I’ve never been surer in my life.” I erase the distance between us and press against his hard chest.
