which faced the meadow and lush grove of pine trees my grandmother’s house backed up to.
    We sat in silence for a moment, listening to the early morning birds chirp as I tried to collect my thoughts. I was surprised to see how quickly the momentum I had marched him back here with had fizzled when it came to the point where I actually had to say something. Coming up with the right words was a lot tougher, it turned out, than just making a grand pronouncement about the need to “talk.”
    Finally, he broke the impasse by brushing a stray chunk of hair behind my ear. “You’re adorable when you concentrate,” he said.
    When I turned to face him, I saw that expression I loved—that I’ve never seen anything as cute as you are in this moment expression that made me feel like the prettiest, and luckiest, girl on the planet.
    I closed my eyes. “What is this?” I whispered.
    His voice was even, unruffled. “This is Saturday morning chores, darlin’.”
    It seemed like nothing ever got to him.
    I opened my eyes and looked straight into his. “No. I mean…what is this, all of this, about? Why are you here? Is this about flirting with me? Is that what you’re doing?”
    “Darlin’, if you’re not even sure if I’m flirting with you, then something is most definitely wrong. I haven’t been exactly subtle. But let me make it even clearer for you: Yes.”
    “Yes?”
    “Yes. As in, yes, I am flirting with you. Yes, I want to get to know you better. Yes, I am smitten as hell with you. And, finally, yes, I am definitely going to kiss you right now.”
    My eyes widened, and my mouth went dry. “Really?”
    “Most definitely.”
    With that, Sebastian leaned his head down and gently pressed his lips to mine.
    My brain exploded into a thousand sparkles as his mouth moved against me. Heat flashed through me from head to toe, and I was overwhelmed with sensation. I slipped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me as I lost myself in the sweetest and most mind-altering kiss I had ever experienced.

Chapter 9

    I pulled back from Michelle’s sweet lips and stroked her hair. Her eyes were wide, and her face was flushed. She was breathing hard and trembling. Fuck, she was beautiful. I loved her toughness, but I especially loved the moments when her vulnerability peeked through. That was special because it wasn’t something she let just anybody see.
    “God…why do you like me?” she blurted out. She reeled back, stunned, as if she had shocked herself by saying it.
    I laughed a little, thinking she must have been joking. “Why wouldn’t I like you?”
    “Because…look at you. And look at me. Guys like you are not generally attracted to girls like me. Is this some kind of bet or dare? Because I’ve seen that nineties teen rom-com in all of its forms, just like everyone else.”
    Whoa. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I had been under the impression that she felt like she was too cool for me—not the other way around! “No! God! It’s nothing like that. Why would you even think that?”
    “Okay, well, then is it some kind of librarian fetish? Like, you think one day I’m going to shake my hair out and take my glasses off and be instantly transformed into the gorgeous supermodel that was somehow always hiding underneath my bookish façade? Because I’ve seen that porn too. And, frankly, if that’s what you’re waiting for, you’re going to be waiting a long time. That’s not real life.”
    I brushed her hair out of her face. She closed her eyes and drew in her breath sharply.
    I leaned close to her and whispered, “Not only do I not fantasize about you taking your glasses off, I kinda think you should leave them on. Don’t get me wrong. You’re cute as hell without them too. But I see now that I never gave them proper credit for how hot they are. They’re very you. And you’re sexy as all get out.
    I rubbed my thumb against her cheek as I spoke. When she tilted her head to the
