Dedication

To my best friend, who makes me laugh and communicates with me in a way no one else does. I love you.

Chapter One

Miranda Harder’s heart pounded against her ribcage. She shifted in the passenger seat of her friend’s convertible, hoping to ease the ache in her pussy. Damp panties, sweaty palms, erect nipples—damn Dan for getting her into such a state. He doesn’t even have to try. Casting him a sidelong glance, she flashed him a smile, then re-focused her gaze out the windshield as the wind whipped her hair about. Despite the cool spring temperatures, she reveled in the freedom of having the top down, needing the contrast to her over-heated body.

Dan returned the grin and shifted the car into a higher gear, accelerating. The action caused the vehicle to vibrate, and in turn it sent a tingle to her core. A shiver rippled up her spine. He might as well have been stroking her wet pussy lips with his fingertips.

Like the ride? Dan yelled over the roar of wind and machine.

She turned toward him again, shouting to be heard. It’s fantastic! And so are you. In fact, I want to be riding you. One day she’d have the courage to say the words aloud.

His lascivious grin gave her the impression he’d read her mind. Giddy excitement caused her to giggle.

They’d been flirting for months now—she sharing her sister’s phone sexcapades with him, he regaling her with tales of his best friend’s internet indiscretions. All the sex talk had ratcheted their mutual attraction sky high. When she’d made the connection that her sister, Missy, was doing the virtual deed with Dan’s friend, Sam, Miranda had taken it upon herself to get the pair to meet in person. She’d succeeded tonight at Missy’s birthday party.

Of course with her crazy family, the plan hadn’t gone off without a hitch. Or three. Sam had been attacked from the get-go by Scottie, Miranda’s brother’s pet capuchin, who had an unhealthy attachment to Missy. Scottie had viewed Sam as competition. After the second incident, the party had come to a close. She wondered what would happen with Sam and Missy. She nibbled her thumbnail—a nervous habit—worrying that she’d ruined her sister’s chances at love.

Dan reached over and pulled her hand away from her mouth. Don’t worry, he shouted, then pressed the back of her hand to his lips. They’ll be fine.

Curiosity scrunched her eyebrows. How did he know I was worrying about Sam and Missy?

As if to answer her question, he winked, then dropped her hand into her lap.

Dan raced down Main Street faster than the speed limit allowed. Miranda hung onto her hair with one hand, the door handle with the other, and let
