I waited for his comment, sending him a wondering gaze. “Hey, Ashlyn!” he shouted, making me twirl back around in his direction. I would hate to be hideous in your eyes.” There was one last round of smiles before he turned away and I began to walk in the other direction. He laughed, and I wanted to snuggle against him to feel the laughter ripple through his body. “So what is it that girls like?” He crossed his arms. “Six-pack abs.” My cheeks blushed over, but I hoped he didn’t notice. I sighed lightly, feeling my thighs ache from the touch of his physique. Girls don’t like charming smiles, muscular arms, or delicious four-pack-” He quickly took my hands and ran them across his stomach. Have you seen yourself? You’re pretty hideous.” “Well obviously there aren’t other girls. “And I won’t call you first because I want you to explore the idea that there might be other girls I’m talking to.” “I probably won’t call you first because I don’t want to look desperate.” I grinned. After typing in my number, we switched back. “I think this is when we exchange numbers.” He reached his phone out toward me and I gave him mine.

Running his hands through his hair, he smiled big. I’m one lucky bastard.” He winked at me, and I felt my world being rocked.

“Oh, and just so you know…I’m taking you to bed tonight.” I reached into my purse and pulled out his CD. “Goodnight, Daniel Daniels.” My heart was getting lost in a world of yearning, and I allowed it to travel to the unknown territory. “Goodnight, Ashlyn,” he said, lightly touching my fingertips before he stepped back, forcing another smile from me. His lips moved in closer to mine, and when they connected to the corner of my mouth, I felt a wave of heat skyrocket through my system.

Daniel rubbed his arms up and down my shoulders for a moment.
