The last thing I
want is to share a forty-five minute commute with the most obnoxious (and
attractive) man I know. But I can't afford a new transmission right now, so I'm
stuck with Marcus for at least a month.
He promises to
be good, but Marcus Greene is never good. And I'm not sure how long I can
resist him.
Carpool is the
first book in the Milford College series, novellas about the faculty and staff
of a small liberal arts college.
Jennifer &
Marcus are awesome. They argue and fight and in some ways are complete
opposites. But somehow they just click. And the sexual chemistry is off the
chain!!!
When Jennifer’s
car needs service she’s forced to ask the local bad boy for a ride to and from
work everyday. How bad can that be? He’s handsome and she’s had a tiny crush on
him almost her whole life. But she was always told to stay away from him. He’s
the bad boy and she’s the good girl.
What happens
when the good girl falls for the bad boy? Can they change the towns mind?
I loved this
little book. Bigger than a novella but not quite full length either. It’s just
right for a quick read. The author is amazing and the characters are relatable
& fun.
Highly
Recommend!!!
99c for a limited time!!
I nod and open
the passenger door, reaching down to grab the strap of my purse.
I blink when he
gets out too.
“What are you
doing?” I ask, my voice sharp because I’m confused.
“I’m walking you
to the door. Do you have a problem with that?”
“But why?”
“Why not?”
I don’t have an
answer to the question. And since he didn’t give me an answer, I feel like I
don’t have to give one to him either.
But I’m
shuddering with something like excitement as we reach the front stoop of my
grandmother’s house. I stop and stare up at him.
He’s gazing down
at me with that same deep, warm expression I saw in him earlier.
Right before he
kissed me.
“Why are you
doing this, Marcus?” My voice breaks slightly because I’m pulsing with
everything I’m feeling.
“I’m just
standing at your door.”
“You know what
I’m talking about.”
He nods, his
mouth relaxing slightly. “I’m doing it because I want to kiss you again, and I
think you want that too.”
I lick my lips.
He sees it. His expression heats up.
It thrills me so
much I quickly get my tongue back into my mouth and swallow hard. “I don’t
know, Marcus. I don’t usually do things… just for fun.”
“I know you
don’t. But I keep telling you that you’re allowed. Kissing me would be fun for
you. And for me. It doesn’t have to mean anything more. It doesn’t have to
change anything important about your world. So why shouldn’t we do it again?”
“Because…
because I think it would… If we do it again, we’re going to do more than kiss.”
He chuckles
softly and reaches up to brush some hair back from my face. “Yes. We probably
will.”
“And you think
that can be just for fun? No… no… pressure or complications?” I can’t believe
I’m even considering no-strings-attached sex, but that’s exactly what I’m
doing.
That’s what
Marcus is offering.
And I want it so
much.
“Yes. I think
so. If that’s what you want.”
“That’s all it
could be between us. For obvious reasons.”
He gives a
slight nod. “Yes.”
This confirms a
tiny, lingering question I’d never even acknowledged. And it makes things so
much safer.
Safe enough for
me to let myself be tempted for real.
After all, sex
with Marcus is going to be good. I know it for sure. And if I can enjoy it—have
some fun—in a way that both of us agree will lead to nothing disruptive to my
life, why the hell shouldn’t I?
Why can’t I be
like everyone else and just let go now and then?
It doesn’t have
to threaten the security of my world.
I really think I
could let go with Marcus and still be safe.
He confirms this
by saying in a more serious tone, “I’m here for anything you want, Jennifer.
Anything. Just name it. But if it’s not what you want, all you have to do is
tell me, and I’ll never make a move on you again.”
I gulp. “I… do
want it.”
“Yeah?” He tilts
his head down.
“Yeah.”
“So you want to
try to have a little fun and see what happens?”
Somehow I’ve
made up my mind. I’ve decided. Everything inside me wants to do this, so I’m
going to do it after all. “Yeah. That’s what I want.”
His eyes smolder
in a way that makes my heart clench.
And other parts
of me clench as well.
“So I can kiss
you again?”
I nod. “Please
do.”
