Excerpt:

“Did I miss anything?” Josh asked as he sat in the empty chair next to me—and a happy heat that had nothing to do with the alcohol made a mad dash to my girlie parts.

All right, ten percent had to do with the alcohol. But the rest was unmistakable lust.

Down girls. This was Josh—Trent’s friend—we were talking about. We were totally not going there.

Somehow the “down” and “going” part got twisted in my head, and an image flashed across my mind of him actually going down on me.

And that was like tossing gasoline on a fire. Kaboom!
