MY KNEE BOBBED as Drew drove my car to his apartment. I didn’t even protest as nerves, excitement, and exhaustion from the last half hour filtered through my system. I thought I’d witnessed Drew cheating right before my boss hit on me, then after a ridiculous misunderstanding on my part, I blurted, “I love you.” It was as if I morphed into someone else tonight, someone without any semblance of control wearing her heart on her sleeve, and that sure as shit wasn’t me. But with Drew, I wasn’t myself. He brought out a side of me I never knew existed—and didn’t know how to handle. I’d always hid my insecurities with snark but being in love was a totally different ball game. I couldn’t hide how I felt or how vulnerable it made me.

Drew stayed silent the entire ride to his place, throwing a smirk in my direction a couple of times but not saying a word. He pulled into the spot in front of his apartment and palmed my still shaking knee after he shut the engine off.

“Stop being nervous. It’s me. And I love you. Relax, Gorgeous.” He grabbed my hand and kissed the top of my wrist before opening the driver’s side door and stepping out of the car. I sucked in a breath and opened my door. Drew was the only person on this planet that didn’t make me nervous . . . well, not anymore. When I first started spending time with him, sure, my knee bobbed all over the place then, too. But at some point along the way, he became my calming center. It’s when he wasn’t around that I felt anxious and uneasy. As I followed Drew into his apartment, I did a quick calculation in my head of how long it’d been since I had sex. Almost ten years? Shit. I was a thirty-two-year-old born-again virgin, and Drew was a gorgeous man in the prime of his life. Hairstyles and music were more or less the same the last time he’d had sex.

He led me into his room, shutting the door and locking it. I plopped down on the bed, peeling my down jacket off but so awkwardly unsure what the hell to do next.

“Hey, what did I tell you in the car?” Drew whispered as he grabbed my hand and pulled me up to stand. “It’s me. And we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. I just want to sleep next to you tonight. So, if you aren’t ready—”

“I am,” I cut him off as my hands drifted down the soft cotton of his T-shirt. “It’s . . . it’s been a really long time.” I shrugged as my fingers flirted with the hem of his shirt and inched it over the waistband of his jeans. I traced the smooth skin over the hard muscle, and the corners of Drew’s mouth lifted in a carnal smile as I brought the soft cotton higher.

“How long?” Drew’s voice dipped to a husky rasp as our eyes locked.
