Casey

I’m a moron. The hottest, sexiest man I’ve ever met in in my life is trying to seduce me and I keep finding ways to stop him.

I’m a complete moron.

“You’re a hard woman, Moth-girl,” he sighs against my skin as he pulls away from me. I want to cry out from the loss of him, which is further proof I am in fact a moron. I watch as he walks away, the water splashing around him, moving in an erotic way that makes it impossible for me to look away. I try to control my breathing—and my hormones—as he picks up the wine he placed near the edge of the pool earlier. I jump as he pops the top off of the bottle.

I’m a mess.

“What if I didn’t want wine?” I grumble, feeling way out of my depths with Gavin. I’ve been a rather self-assured woman in my life—well at least most of my adult life. I’ve refused to take shit from anyone. Maybe it’s because Gavin is…well…Gavin, that all my old insecurities I had through high school are back. I’m starting to think I had even more than I knew.

“You need it Moth-girl. You’re way too tense. Don’t you know that living in California you’re supposed to be laid back and relaxed all the time?”

“Whoever thinks that hasn’t spent time on our roads, especially during rush hour.”

“Can’t argue with that,” he laughs, giving me my glass.

“For some reason, I would have thought you left California after graduation,” he says taking a drink and watching me over the rim of his glass.

“For some reason, I figured you never thought of me at all,” I grin, feeling more at ease now that he’s not putting the moves on me.

“I was a dumb kid, I admit it, Casey. But, it might surprise you to know that I’ve thought of that night on the football field plenty of times over the years. You were different from what I was used to.”

“Meaning I didn’t fall at your feet?”

“Well, that was different. I should have known then you were special,” he says with a grin and he has no idea that his words make my heart flip inside my chest. “But, honestly it had more to do with your encouragement. Because of you I went off to play football.”

“You did?” I ask, extremely shocked.

“I did.”

“But then…How did you wind up where you are now?”

“Car wreck my junior year of college. Me and my buddy had been out partying, it was raining and the car hit water and hydroplaned. It flipped and my leg was wedged, fucked up my knee.”

“Oh God, I’m so sorry,” I tell him, and I know from the offhanded way he’s explaining things it was probably much worse than I’m imagining.

“Don’t be. Football served its purpose,” he shrugs.

“What was that?”

“Pissed off my parents and taught me to live my life for me,” he grins.

“Good plan,” I tell him looking down at my drink, contemplating his words. “I barely talk to my mother anymore.
