She gave the room a quick check to see how many individuals could either smell her hormones or read her emotions. They were everywhere.

What to do? What to do?

She glanced back at Derek, remembered how good it had felt when he’d held her those few minutes in the office, and she thought … what the hell. She started walking toward him.

“Wanna go eat pizza in the moonlight?” Derek whispered in her ear when she stopped in front of him. Standing this close, she could smell his freshly showered skin. A vision of what he’d looked like standing in the buff wearing only a few water droplets filled her mind. She blinked the vision away.

“Is that like dancing in the moonlight? It’s supposed to be seductive.” She smiled and then bit her tongue. Why was it when she got within three feet of him, all she could think about was … him?

He grinned. “It could be. With the right person. And the right pizza.” He laughed. “Hey, I’m hungry.”

They got themselves two slices each of pizza and a couple of drinks and walked out of the dining hall.

“I know the perfect place,” he said as they left the chatter of voices and the air-conditioning behind in the dining hall. The night air was warm and smooth. He pointed to the two large, white rocking chairs at the front of the office. She followed him. She was just about to sit down when the phone in her pocket chimed.

Sitting her drink down, she balanced her plate in one hand and pulled out her phone to check the number. She frowned when she saw her dad’s number and she hit the off button.

“Who was it?” Derek moved the second rocker over so they faced each other.

“My dad … I mean, my stepdad,” she corrected herself.
