Archer grinned.“Me neither.”

Those pretty brown eyes glittered.

To his surprise, Spencer moved closer, eliminating every inch between them.They were chest to chest when Spencer tilted his head, their breaths mingling.

“I’ve spent the entire day thinkin’ about that kiss,” Spencer whispered.

“Yeah?”

“It’s all I can do.”Spencer’s gaze shifted to Archer’s mouth.“I think you broke me.”

Archer chuckled.“Are you hungry?”

“Yes,” Spencer said, his voice low.

Archer studied his face, admiring the gold in his eyes.

“But not for food.”

“No?”

“No.”

“What’re you hungry for?”

Spencer swallowed hard.“Somethin’ I’ve never had before.”

As soon as those words registered, Archer’s smile faded, and his chest clenched painfully tight.

Never?

As in neverever?

“Are you sayin’…?”

“That I’ve never had sex?”

It was Archer’s turn to be speechless, but he managed a nod.

“I haven’t.”Spencer pulled back enough to meet his gaze.“Not willingly.And not with a man.”

Archer wasn’t sure what to say to that.

“I know.You probably think I’m lyin’.I’m thirty-one years old and I’ve never had sex with anyone I wanted to have sex with.”

“I don’t think you’re lying, Spencer.”

“It’s weird.I get it.”Spencer took a step back.“It’s the very reason I’m practically a virgin.Because even the mention of it freaks people out.”

“I’m not freaked.”He took a step closer, but Spencer merely moved back again.

“I can see it on your face.You’ve never had sex with a virgin, and you’re worried you’ll break me.”

“Actually…” Archer grabbed Spencer’s arm before he could back up again.He pulled him close.“I’m tryin’ to figure out how to stop my body’s reaction to this conversation.”

Spencer looked down, then back up quickly.“Seriously?”

“Oh, yeah.Hard as steel.”
