Chapter 17

From sixteen-year-old Brynn’s summer camp journal:

Dear Moms,

Okay, so this year is . . . SO MUCH FUN! I know, shock, right? I bet you never thought you’d get this letter. ☺ But now that I’m a junior camp counselor, we get to stay up late, and there’s a TV they let us use, AND . . . there’re cute guys!

Still no Kinsey. Or Eli. BUT get this. Kinsey called me. Wanted to know if I’d see her. I was like, yeah, right. And then she hung up on me! I immediately felt bad, so I called her right back, but she sent me to voice mail. I feel like such a jerk, but I also feel like that stupid little kid again, you know? Why does she make me so crazy?

Gotta run. We’re going to make s’mores.

Love you both!

Brynn

BRYNN WOKE UP wrapped around her own personal heater. Eli was on his back; she was pressed up against him, her face smashed into his armpit, her arm and leg holding him down. Her body couldn’t have said “mine” any more clearly than if she’d crawled inside him.

It was light outside and she froze. She’d slept with him, here in his bed, all night. How had that happened?

Okay, so she knew how it’d happened. He’d pleasured her into a near coma. But now it was morning, and she was really great at making mornings awkward, so, holding her breath, she tried to disentangle herself without waking him up. But just being this close to the body that had given her such pleasure throughout the night had her body getting . . . ideas.

No. You’ve got morning breath and God knows what your hair looks like. Plus you have to pee, and— Her stomach growled loud enough to wake the dead.

“Hungry?”

Her gaze flew to Eli’s, which was sleepy, sated, and . . . sexy as hell.

And also amused.

Her stomach growled again, and he laughed softly.

Okay, so he wasn’t feeling awkward. No emotional conflict for him as he stopped her attempted escape by tucking her beneath him. Pushing her hair from her eyes, he got serious. “You okay with everything that happened last night?”

She blinked. “Are you asking me if you were good?”

He smiled. Right. He knew he’d been good. He probably still had the nail indentions in his ass to prove it. “I’m asking if you’re okay,” he clarified.

“I’m pretty sure I’m better than okay.”

“Glad to hear it.” He kissed her softly. “Going to try to keep you that way.”

“It’s not your responsibility.”

“I know. I just like seeing you happy. And if I can be the cause of it, even better.”

She bit her lower lip.

“What?”

“So for you, last night was . . . okay?”

He laughed sexily, then tightened his grip on her when she tried to wriggle free. “Brynn, last night was . . . amazing. If you’d held out on me for even another second, I’d have started begging. Go out with me tonight.”

Any lingering awkwardness vanished as she smiled. “I don’t know, I might need some convincing.
