closed, and she is almost purring at my touch.
                  “Do you want to talk to me about earlier?” I probe. I felt Ali’s muscles tense under my hand.
                  “Nope,” she answers quickly. I sat up and pulled her close. Leave it to Trudy to put doubts in our heads. I hadn’t planned on taking it to that level with Ali—yet. I mean, yeah, I’ve thought about it—I am just a man.
                  “Were you thinking that maybe . . . maybe tonight . . . we’d . . . ?” My hands start to sweat, and I become riddled with nerves. Ali groans with embarrassment and falls backward onto the blanket, covering her face. I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything. It stuns me that she thought about being intimate with me and boosts my ego a little too.
                  “Yes,” she finally said, though it was muffled under her hands. “I was hoping.” I would be lying if I didn’t admit my anticipation level vamped up a few notches. I leaned on my elbow next to her. With my free hand, I lifted hers from her face, but Ali kept her eyes closed. So I kissed her lids.
                  “I thought about it too,” I admitted in hushed tones. Ali slowly opened her eyes. Neither of us moved. My face hovered above hers, locked in her gaze. Ali’s hand touched my face lightly.
                  “I’m in love with you,” she whispered. We lay there, side by side, bathed in moonlight, surrounded by candlelight. Ali moved slowly, pulling my face to hers. I let her kiss me, and it was the most sensual thing I have ever experienced. Her leg came over my body, placing her on top of me, and her hands were under my shirt.
                  I am only human.
                  I pull her flat to my chest and rolled, so we changed positions. Ali’s arms tangled around my neck, and her mouth became almost desperate against mine. I kissed my way from her mouth to her collarbone, Ali’s hands roaming all over my chest. She started tugging at the fabric and lifted my shirt off over my head. I looked down into her big brown eyes, and they were hungry.
                  Before I knew exactly what I was doing, I had my hands on Ali’s stomach and was slowly taking her top off. She shifted, and her top was in my hand. Ali pulled my mouth back to hers, and we rolled once more, and her delicate body pressed into mine. One of her hands left my arm and moved to the fly of my pants; she was fumbling to unbutton them. I had to react while I was still able think.
                  “Ali.” I wrapped my fingers around her wrist, stopping her.
                  “Cooper,” she whispered, kissing my neck. Oh. My. God. Every hormone in my body went into overdrive. Focus . I took in a deep breath and rolled her over so we lay side by side again. We both lay, panting for air. After a minute, which I could have used a very cold shower, I sat up to look at her. Taking her hand in mine, I kissed it softly.
                  “You know that I want to do this, very much, but not tonight,” I tell her.
                  Ali nodded, closing her eyes, which shut me out to her emotions. We both put out shirts back on and try to regulate my breathing and remind myself why I felt the need to stop this hot girl from taking advantage of me. Allison has the most perfect body, and I guarantee this will haunt my dreams for weeks.
                  “I just thought, with all the candles and it being our last night that you wanted me.”
                  “Oh, I do, Ali, just not tonight.” Oh man, I do, but I respect her too much and want to be able to wake up next to her and not have to say good night. Ali sits up and nuzzles into my side. I never want to let her go. I kiss the top of her head and keep her in my arms.
                  “Coop,” Allison mummers,
