ROUND 2

“I have to text him every morning and wait for him to text back,” I complain to Sawyer, breaking another one of Auntie Jen’s cardinal rules of dating: when out with a guy, don’t talk about another guy. But these guys don’t follow Auntie Jen’s rules, so why should I?

“But you agreed to it,” he points out. “And you haven’t disobeyed.” His hair blows around his handsome face as he pulls into the beach lot. He parks and leans close. “Methinks the lady doth protest too much.” He tucks a stray hair behind my ear and taps my nose before slipping from the car.

After my night with Bear, I almost cancelled the competition. He made me come in about two minutes—wasn’t that the point of all this? I could just give the winner trophy to Bear, so did we really need to continue?

The fact that I’d be crushed with disappointment shouldn’t be a factor. It’d only be worse if I played along for the whole month.

When I texted Sawyer that I had a good time, he responded, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

I couldn’t call things off after that. I was too intrigued.

Sawyer pauses a moment in front of the car, hand shielding his eyes as he looks over the beach, and I study him. He picked me up in his dirty Jeep, blond hair tousled from the windy ride. Flip flops, board shorts hanging off his lean hips, and no shirt. He’s not as big as Bear, but who is? Sawyer’s body is a tanned masterpiece, his chest and abs a perfect wall of muscle. He should be running down the beach with a bikini model, Baywatch style. Not here with me.

“Evie,” Sawyer calls. I blink and realize he’s holding my door open.

“Sorry,” I take his hand and scramble out. He’s just like Bear—opening my door. He buckled me in earlier, too.

“You got that look,” he says.

“What look?”

“The one Bear talks about. You’re thinking shit about yourself.”

“What? Am not,” I lie automatically. I can’t believe they talk about me. It makes me nervous and excited at the same time.

“Can’t lie to me.” He grabs a blanket and hands me a large water bottle. “Bear’s super good at this intuitive stuff. He should open up a shrink office next to the body shop. People can get their heads fixed with their oil change.”

“What, really?” I imagine Bear manning a lemonade stand with a sign: Psychiatric Help, five cents.

“Oh yeah,” Sawyer says. “All those guys getting fancy rims or racing stripes are just insecure about relating to women. Or something.” He shrugs. “He loves helping people through their problems. Next to fixing and pimping cars, it’s his favorite project.”

Ah. Great. So I’m a project. “So what about me?” I ask breezily. “Do I have daddy issues?”

He grins. “You do now. You okay with that term?”

I shrug. “Do you like it?”

“Not as much as Bear. But yeah, it works for me.” He holds out his hand. “Ready?”

I take it. I’ll be all right.
