    My fingertips trail across her porcelain skin, and I try to contain my enthusiasm as our faces drift closer. Kissing Jenna York is a fantasy of mine—something that’s haunted my dreams for years. Her lips are pale pink and totally kissable. She may never let me this close again, so I brace my hand on her hip and pull her closer. Any moment now, she’ll remember she hates me, and she’ll jump out of this bed and bolt from the room.
    I’m convinced this is exactly what we need. One kiss. That’s all it’ll take to satisfy our curiosity. She’d deny it to the death, but I know she’s curious, too. If not, she wouldn’t be lying here, and she certainly wouldn’t be breathing heavily.
     Her big brown eyes grow heavy, and I let my mouth brush across her cheek.
    Suddenly, a thunderous knock pounds on the door. Jenna jumps. I curse and hold on to her a little tighter.
    “Ethan . . .”
    “Ignore them.”
    Nothing is keeping me from kissing this girl tonight. Whoever’s standing outside that door will have to erupt into flames before I even consider getting out of this bed.
    “It could be Abby and Coop. It might be important.”
    I’m just about to scream that it can’t possibly be more important than this, but the knocking becomes urgent. Jenna twists out of my arms, jumps out of bed, and tiptoes toward the door.
    “It’s the hotel manager,” she whispers.
    “Get back into this bed.” My voice is nearly a growl. I don’t care if it’s the Georgia governor offering us a pardon.
    “What could she want?”
    “Who cares? I swear, York, if you don’t get back into this bed . . .”
    Jenna rolls her eyes.
    “You’re ridiculous, you know that? I told you I wasn’t having sex with you tonight.”
    The girl makes me crazy. “Sex? Who’s talking about sex? I’d be satisfied with a kiss, but it seems the universe is completely against that ever happening!”
    “Maybe the universe is smarter than we are!” We’re both still whispering, despite the incessant knocking. Jenna’s whispers are just louder and angrier than mine. “Get your ass out of bed and see what she wants!”
    I throw back the covers and stomp toward the door. “I can’t wait to get the hell out of Georgia.”
    “That makes two of us. Now get rid of her!”
    Jenna runs to the bathroom while I angrily twist the dead bolt and jerk the door open.
    “Is there a problem, Sally?”
    “You remember my name!” Her voice has this dreamy, drunk quality. I notice the bottle of cheap wine in her hands. And the two glasses. “I thought you might like some company. It’s a big ol’ room for one tiny person.”
    Great .
    My ears may be deceiving me, but I swear I hear Jenna’s giggle coming from the bathroom.
    I sigh heavily. Clearly, I’d been too friendly, and that was obviously a mistake because the woman’s a cougar. Sure, I’d flirted a little, but for this middle-aged woman to show up on my doorstep with a bottle of booze and expect anything is completely ridiculous.
    I flash my pearly whites. “Look, Sally, this is really nice of you, but I’ve got to get some sleep. I’m hitting the road pretty early tomorrow.”
    “Leaving so soon?” She pouts, and tries to look sexy while doing so. It’s just sad, really.
    “Yep. Headed home. So, if you don’t mind—”
    “Going home to see your mom? That’s so nice.”
    What little patience I have left finally evaporates.
    “Yeah, she’s really great. She’s about your age, actually.”
    Sally’s eyes grow wide with hurt, and I sorta feel guilty, but then I remember a certain brown-eyed beauty who’s hiding in my bathroom, and suddenly, I don’t give two shits about the lonely motel manager.
    “Good night,” I tell her, promptly slamming the door in her face. I lock it and make sure the dead bolt is secure.
    Jenna walks back into the room. “Geez, Summers.”
    “What?”
    “Harsh.”
    “She wasn’t taking the hint.”
    With hungry eyes, I watch as
