“But with looks like that…”
“A lot of us fawn over Zac,” Robyn says, “but none of us have a chance, not really. I mean, has he slept around? Sure. They all have. What girl would turn them down?”
Me.
But only because we already had sex.
“But from what I’ve heard, that’s all it is with Zac. Just sex. And I have my booty calls already, so I don’tneedhim. I just like to look at him. That’s all.”
I laugh. “There’s nothing wrong…”
Nothing wrong with looking. That’s what Rob said.
Shit. Did I really read into things too much?
Probably. I’m such a goddamn mess right now. It’s pathetic.
“Don’t let Rob get to you,” I mutter to myself.
“What was that?” Robyn asks.
“Nothing,” I say sheepishly.
She giggles. “Don’t worry. I talk to myself, too, and anyone who says differently is lying to themselves.”
Rob is the first one of the guys to climb onto a bike. The others do, but Rob’s already off, leaving the others to trail behind him.
He thinks he’s a badass, but I know all about him.
I know how to make his cock hard.
I know how to turn him on.
I know far more than I should and probably more than I wish I knew about.
Rob Blackwood. Hell, why does he have to go here? If it hadn’t been so aggravating, maybe I wouldn’t be dreading this, but as it stands right now, I honestly don’t know if I want our paths to cross.
Because I came to college to step myself up for the rest of my life. I don’t want to have to continue to worry about my past.
All I want is the chance for my life to be my own.
For me to make my own choices.
Make my own mistakes.
To get up again and try again.
I know things won’t always be easy, but I will do whatever it takes to escape the darkness that has been my life since I learned about the Thunder Crows being a front for the mafia.
No matter what happens, I will rise above.
And one of those mistakes I’ll make willnotbe Rob Blackwood.
Because while I refuse to say that our being together that one time on the cruise was a mistake, I willnotbe with him again.
That’s just a disaster waiting to happen.
He’s the kind of guy who expects all women to fall at his feet.
