THE HAZARDS OF A ONE
NIGHT STAND Synopsis:
One small town boy, one girl who wants more, one roll in the
hay...
Hooking up with your high school crush is a bad idea, a really bad idea. It was
only supposed to be one night, one brief departure from my real life, but
nothing ever works out exactly the way you plan.
Colton Waters was everything from my past that didn't fit into my present, so
why did he have to show up at my college and pledge the one frat I couldn't
avoid?
Because nothing is ever meant to happen just once. At least not the life
changing things that mean the difference between falling apart and falling in
love.
EXCERPT:
Colt wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me
closer. “No. I’d rather bother you.”
There was something kind of sexy about the motion,
something more confident than his usual goofy flirting. His hand felt nice
resting on my hip, so I let it stay. Was this really the same Colt? Since when
did his touch have that kind of effect on me? “When did you get back to town?”
“About two hours ago.”
“You didn’t wait long to come out.” I took a big
sip of the drink. It was starting to taste a lot better.
“I took time for a shower.”
“That was thoughtful of you.”
“Planning on getting close to me tonight?” He
watched me intently.
“Maybe.” The flirtatious word flew out of my mouth
without me realizing it. The alcohol and that smile of his was making me forget
where I was. “Sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?” He moved his hand, turning me
and wrapping his other arm around me so my body was pressed against his.
“Colton…”
“Mallory…”
I laughed. “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? You’re the one telling me you
might be getting close to me tonight.” His hand slid down slightly, settling
below my hip. His touch felt so good.
“Your birthday passed, right? You’re nineteen now?”
He laughed that deep, throaty laugh of his. “I’m
going to take it as a good sign that you’re checking to make sure I’m old
enough.”
“I’m not supposed to be into younger guys.”
“I’m three months younger than you. I can’t help
that my parents held me back a grade.” He leaned back against an old oak tree,
pulling me along with him. The motion had me leaning into his chest.
“You’ve gotten hotter.” I couldn’t believe I’d said
the words out loud. I also couldn’t believe I was thinking about Colton that
way again.
He laughed once more. “So have you, although I
wouldn’t have thought it was possible.”
I took another sip of my drink. “When did you get
this cute?”
“Are you implying you haven’t been ready to jump me
for the last five years?”
“I’ve never thought about it before tonight.” The
words weren’t exactly true, but I hadn’t thought about it in a while.
“But you are thinking about it now?” He grinned,
moving his hands even lower so they cradled my ass.
“Maybe.” His hands sent a thrill through me,
reminding me of just how long it had been since a guy had touched me that way.
“That’s the second maybe you’ve given me. How am I
supposed to make that into a yes?” He took the bottle from my hand and dropped
it down on the ground next to his empty cup. The remaining liquid seeped out
onto the dirt.
“I don’t know. It’s your job to figure that out.” I
ran my now free hand down his chest. It was firmer and more muscular than I
expected.
“My job, huh? I like the sound of that.” His lips
tickled my ear. “I like the sound of anything involving you.” He took my hand
and led me further into the grouping of trees. It wasn’t a dense forest or
anything, but I knew he was looking for privacy. I didn’t object when he gently
leaned me back into another tree.
I closed my eyes, ready to feel his lips and hands
on my body. I was horrible at knowing what to do in those situations. I needed
the guy to take control.
His lips brushed against mine as he rested his hand
on my stomach. He slipped a few fingers underneath my shirt. “Am I earning a
yes, or do I have more work to do?” he whispered with his lips right next to
mine.
“You have more work.” I kept my eyes closed, taking
in a breath as his hand moved further up my shirt.
