Who am I kidding? I'd be throwing myself at Alex, too. Hey, I am!
"What Brenna said about your family and where you come from was ridiculous."
He looked away, and I could tell he was ashamed of his sister.
"You don't need to apologize for her," I said. "I know you don't look at me that way."
"I think you are an amazing girl who has so much potential, and I hope I didn't offend you when I suggested that my parents pay for your education," he said. "My motives were selfish."
"You're not selfish, but you understand why I can't take you up on that offer? It would only prove Brenna's point."
"No, it wouldn't," he said. "But, I understand. We still have three months before I leave, and I want to make the most of them."
"What did you have in mind?"
"I heard you're intrigued by my Harley?" He arched a brow and flashed a wicked grin.
"Evan's big mouth?" I laughed.
"Yeah." He laughed with me. "I bought you your own helmet. You up for a ride?"
"Um, yeah, I've been dying to ask you, but I wasn't sure if you still rode."
"My mom hates when I do, but if my girl wants to do it . . . ."
"Your girl definitely wants to do it!" I leapt to me feet, unable to hide my excitement.
He pulled me into his lap and seductively smirked at me. "What exactly is it that you want to do?"
I slowly pressed my lips to his mouth and ran my tongue along his lips. "Ride your Harley," I whispered, but I could feel through his pants that little cowboy had other ideas.
He kissed me for a few seconds, then groaned and pulled away. "We're not alone," he said. "So, it looks like we're actually going to ride the bike."
"Let's go!" I squealed and hopped off his lap.
"Such an eager girl." He laughed as he got up and smacked my backside.
"For so many things." I winked.
"I'll keep that in mind." He took my hand and pulled me down the stairs and into the garage.
This is going to be such a cool afternoon!
Chapter Six
Six weeks had passed since the day I met Alex in the kitchen. The more time we spent together, the harder it was to keep our hands off each other. Except when we rode his Harley. He took me out on his bike at least twice a week, despite Sarah's disapproval. She said he shouldn't be corrupting me that way and warned Jack would be seeing us in the ER. Alex said she had been making that prediction ever since he bought the bike four years ago. The weather was starting to change, so that meant I'd be taking him up on his promise to take me out on the boat soon.
We often went to dinner or the movies. We hung out with Zack and his girlfriend when I wasn't working at the coffee shop, mostly at the Jordan house, and we always had a good time playing games or watching TV. For the first time, I had a social life. I looked forward to my weekends and couldn't wait to see what Alex had in store for me next.
We were seeing more of one another during the week too. After my last confrontation with Brenna, I decided we should hang out at my house a few times a week, too. It wasn't that I was afraid of her; I just didn't want the drama that went along with her.
Alex would come over and help me with my homework and sometimes watch a game with Max. I liked when he came to our house, because that meant no curfew. Alex often waited out Max, who would eventually go up to bed, leaving Alex and me alone on the couch. Those were some of my favorite evenings. Alex stayed true to his promise about teaching me all I needed to know. Let's just say I was becoming extremely educated.
On that particular night, I was ready for another lesson.
"Max is asleep," I whispered as I trailed my hand down his chest.
"Are you sure?"
