    About this ebook

    James Laird and Lola Caraway have been best friends since childhood. After an incident in their hometown that caused the two to face their growing attraction to one another, James and Lola have decided that “just friends” is best.

    Ever the ladies’ man, James has become a star in the world of porn. Lola, on the other hand, is attending a prestigious university and well on her way to a very bright future—one that doesn’t involve on-camera sex scenes and anonymous hook-ups.

    Now James goes to visit Lola in college, and he must deal with the fact that their lives might be headed in two different directions. He doesn’t want to stifle her, but he just can’t live without her. Can he accept the fact that his “cupcake” is all grown up, or will it be too hard to let her go?

      Chapter 1 – Lola

      My professor is at the front of the classroom droning on about covalent bonds while he clicks through his PowerPoint slideshow. I’m jotting down notes from each slide and underlining specific terms, since he’s being pretty obvious about what will be on the final. My mind is elsewhere, though. I feel a bit like Britney Spears in the beginning of the Baby One More Time video—she’s drumming on her notebook with a pencil and eagerly awaiting the bell so she can shimmy down the hallway, creating pervy schoolgirl fantasies for an entire generation of males. I’ve got that same bored when-will-class-be-over-so-I-can-get-out-of-here look on my face, though my attire is far less scandalous than Britney’s wardrobe.

      My phone buzzes in my messenger bag, and I reach down to get it. This class is massive, one of those general requirements that everyone has to sit through, so no one will notice. I pull out my brand new iPhone—which I reluctantly accepted as a gift from James—and check the alert. It’s a text message saying:

      Waiting for you at the hotel - rm 619 xoxo

      My heart flutters with excitement. Now I really want this class to wrap up. A beautiful, strapping stud awaits me, and I’m more than ready to trade molecules for muscles.

      The professor finally lets us go, and I’m the first one out of the classroom. It’s a short walk to the Sheraton, and I practically run the whole way.

      I’m buzzing with anticipation as I ride the elevator up to the sixth floor and run down the hallway to room 619.

      I knock once, and seconds later, there he is. His prompt answer makes me wonder if he was waiting by the door the whole time.

      Aw, baby! I missed you so much! James says, pulling me in and scooping me up in a giant hug. I can tell that he missed me a lot from the way he envelops me.

      I missed you too, I say as he kisses my cheeks, my shoulder, and even my neck a couple times.

      He doesn’t put me down, and I giggle as he physically carries me into his room, the door clicking shut behind me. He’s still squeezing me, so I shift and wrap my legs around him. He cradles my head to his chest, but I nuzzle under his neck, feeling very happy and relaxed. God, I love when he holds me like this—really holds me, not just hugs me.

      It’s been over a year since I’ve seen him, and I want to absorb everything about him all at once. His arms are strong and his torso is firm as he presses me against him. His hair is longer, but just as flowing and beautiful. He smells great—fresh and clean, but with an underlying testosterone that makes me want to press my nose to his neck and take it all in. If scientists ever want to study pheromones, he’d be a prime research candidate. I might be his best friend, but even I find his masculine smell very appealing.

      He finally sets me down and takes my bag, setting it on the desk as I check out the room. He can afford nice accommodations, and the king sized bed is practically calling my name. After half a semester in a dorm bed, something spacious with big, fluffy pillows seems like heaven. I’m hoping I can spend the night here, but I don’t want to be presumptuous. Last time we shared a bed, shit went down and blurred the lines between platonic and passionate. I’m not sure if he wants to tempt fate again.

      You look so beautiful, Lola, he says, standing back to check me out.

      He has this way of looking at me that makes me feel glamorous and sexy, even though I’m just in jeans and a t-shirt with a gray sweater thrown over my shoulders. I
