for her.”
    “ You’re right about me being out of control, and you know I can’t deal with that. I always know how things are going to go. That would never be the case with her.
    “ When I said I wanted a girlfriend closer to my age, I still meant one older than me, not nineteen, and I’m not dating Lorna Ray Mason’s daughter.”

    On Monday, Hannah left early in the morning to go to acting classes she’d started for the summer. When she returned, she saw that Brett was working alone. She was dying to know if he felt different after their kiss, so she went to see him.
    She was wearing a short, strapless, pink sundress and had her hair pulled up into a messy bun when she approached him.
    “ Hi, Brett,” she said softly. She watched him stand still for several seconds with his back to her before he turned around.
    “Hi, Hannah. How are you?” She saw the anxious look on his face.
    He doesn’t even want to see me.
    “OK, and you?”
    “Hot and tired,” he said tersely.
    “I’ m going to go. I’m sorry I bothered you.” She began turning away.
    “What did you want, Hannah?”
    “I can see from the look on your face that you’re upset I’m even standing in front of you.”
    “Just say what you came to say.”
    “I was going to ask if your feelings changed at all after our kiss, but it’s obvious they haven’t.” She stared into his eyes, looking for something hopeful.
    “ I told you I can’t spend time with you.”
    “How can you feel that way after ... after that kiss?”
    “I’ m sorry I lost control. It won’t happen again.”
    Hannah held her finger up by her chest and pointed it at him, shaking it as she spoke. “You’re an asshole. You pulled me away from those two guys at the bar just so you could put your hands all over me.
    “ I can’t believe I thought there was a chance I meant something more to you. You’re no better than all those other guys. Don’t worry. I won’t be back to pester you.” Hurt and furious, she turned to walk away.

    Guilt hit him hard. He didn’t want her to think he was just using her. She’d almost made it to the pool when he yelled for her. “Hannah, wait.” He took off his work gloves and watched her stop and hesitate before she turned around to walk back to him.
    He felt lik e shit when he saw the sorrow on her face as she approached him. He had no intentions of touching her, but without a thought, he held her face and ran his thumb across her bottom lip.
    “The kiss was amazing, and I can’t stop thinking about it,” he sai d, looking down at her radiant eyes and smooth complexion. He loved how her face was peppered with just a few, light freckles that matched the hint of color in her blonde hair.
    “Then let’s do it again,” she said with a seductive look .
    “ I can’t date you, Hannah.”
    “I don’t understand. Why are you trying to fight it?”
    Seeing the yearning in her eyes , touching her and smelling her strawberry scent had him asking the same question. He sucked in a sharp breath when he felt her hand playing with the back of his hair.
    The tingling from her magic fingers spread through him, causing the intense craving he had for her to snake back into his veins. He grabbed her face and kissed her hard. In an instant, her hands were inside the back of his shirt, and she was pushing her body up against him.
    “I don’t want to get your dress dirty, Hannah,” he said, barely releasing her lips.
    “You can get me as dirty as you want.” She swiftly yanked his shirt over his head.
    He didn’t have time to stop her. His eyebrows raised and hunger surfaced.
    “Hannah, you can’t say shit like that. You’re making me want to do things to you right here in your yard.”
    She threw her arms around his neck and slipped her tongue into his mouth, invading it with her desire. Unable to resist her erotic advance, Brett wrapped his arms around her waist before he indulged in her invitation to taste her eager tongue.
