the hook that easily. I want to know what the deal is between you and Miss Thing.”
    Evan eyes turn cold for a brief moment then he’s back to business just as quickly. I can see some little cracks in his near perfect façade and it’s clearly killing him. His lips tighten as he seems to think about how to respond. “She’s Aaron’s fiancé,” he says finally. “There’s no deal between us.”
    “Just because she’s engaged to Aaron doesn’t mean you still can’t want her,” I suggest.
    “Yeah, it kind of does.”
    I shake my head. “You never could think creatively, Evan. Outside the box I mean. Everything is always black and white with you. You never see all the wonderful shades of gray. That’s where all the possibilities lie.”
    He sighs. “And just what possibilities are you talking about?”
    “I’m talking about a plan to break up Aaron and Rainy.”
    He raises an eyebrow. “And why would you want to do that?”
    “You know Aaron and I belong together,” I snap.
    Evan releases his hold on me and takes a step back, examining me. Then he crosses his arms over his broad chest and gives me a defiant look. The look is so strong and willful, it sends a little wave of lust through me. I have to remind myself of my mission: to get Aaron Donovan .
    “Even if you could find some way to break up the lovebirds, which I think is a big if , what makes you think Aaron would suddenly decide that you’re the one for him? We’ve known the guy since we were kids and he’s never shown any interest in you other than friendship, despite the pressure that both his parents and your parents placed on him to get the two of you together.”
    “Rainy has him all twisted around. Once she’s out of the pi cture, I’ll make him see that he wants me.”
    “You do realize you can’t always get what you want just b ecause you want it. There’s even a classic Rolling Stones song that echoes that sentiment.”
    “Don’t underestimate me, Evan. I always get what I want.”
    “One thing I would never do is underestimate you. I just don’t want you to underestimate Aaron’s feelings for Rainy.  He is not going to let you or anyone else come between them. I think Aaron would rather die than live without Rainy. It’s that deep.”
    I can feel myself starting to seethe. I don’t want to hear about Aaron’s undying love for Rainy. I want to hear Evan agree to help me break them up. I decide I need to do whatever it takes to recruit Evan as an ally in my plan .
      When I move in closer to Evan and place my hands on his chest, I can feel him suck in a breath. His eyes are filled with lust. I bite my bottom lip and look up at Evan with every bit of seduction I have in me.
    “Do you want me?” I say as I bat my long lashes at him.
    I can see him swallow hard and I know I’ve got him where I want him. If I give him everything he wants, maybe I can convince him to do what I want. It’s worth a shot and I already know I’ll have a lot of fun in the process.
    “Baby, I’ve wanted you since Spring Break,” he admits.
    And for the second time since we’ve been standing next to my car, I’m floored by something Evan says. Spring Break was two months ago. He couldn’t possibly have been thinking about me since then. Could he? Surely, he’s had a lot of diversions since then.
      “Come back to my hotel room with me,” I suggest.
    “I thought maybe we’d wait until after dinner. My parents want to get drinks before dinner and we have early reservations.”
    I sigh and give him a little pout.
    “Fine,” he concedes. “How about I give you a little taste so you have something to look forward to?”
    I nod slowly and deliberately and the desire in his eyes catches fire. He pushes me against my car and closes the distance between us. His erection is even harder than before and I let out a stifled moan as he pushes it against my body.
    As he leans his head in and nips at my earlobe, waves of heat surge
