Chapter One

Lance’s doorbell rang at eight that night. He wasn’t expecting anyone in particular, especially over the summer when most of the Lakemont students were home for three months. There was one person it could be.

He opened the door to Anabelle, his best friend since elementary school. She was a complete sweetheart and like a little sister to him. Hey Ana, c’mon in. I’m surprised to see you. He hugged her because, one, she was like family, and two, because her body felt so damn good next to his.

I hope I’m not bugging you. I was just so bored.

Ana lived in one of the student apartment buildings on campus, which was likely looking like a ghost town now.

Lance lived in an apartment off campus. His job as a teacher assistant and research assistant for the psychology department meant working twelve months a year while getting his master’s degree.

He’d been thinking of heading over to Jake’s, a friend and fellow research assistant in the Physics department, but this was much better. No work tonight?

She shook her head.

Wanna beer or a glass of wine?

White wine would be great.

He went to his fridge. So, where’s the boyfriend?

She groaned. A family reunion-trip thing. He’s gone for two weeks.

He grimaced. That sucks.

She took the glass he offered then followed him to the sofa. Yeah.

If you can stand it, I’m watching a French movie. There are subtitles though.

Okay. Sounds cool.

He hit play.

She snuggled in closer to him, something she’d done many times before when hanging at his place. She had a younger sister but had always wanted a brother. He had a younger brother but had always wanted a sister. For years, they filled the surrogate roll for one another.

He wrapped an arm around her.

After several minutes, a sex scene came on, and her breathing changed a bit. Or maybe that was his.

Changing the focus, he started, So, you sorta sighed when I asked about Matt. Is everything all right?

She let out a nervous little laugh and took a sip of her wine. I guess I’m questioning why I miss him so much. He makes me laugh and that’s a big thing for me.

Lance tilted his head. But you don’t miss other things, like the sex?

She shrugged. He definitely plays it safe in that department.

Have you said anything to him?

She glanced up at him. I don’t think I can do that. I mean, I’m not sure what to say. And… She shrugged again.

Lance pursed his lips, both of them still watching the naked action before them.

Lance would bet his last dollar she was too unsure of herself and shy, she would never say anything to Matt. He turned to face her. An, do you want me to help?

It was a risky proposition. They were best friends, and if this backfired, he could ruin the best relationship he ever had. But Ana meant the world to him. He had to give it a try.

Huh?

Like I could show you a few things, we can talk about. Maybe you’d feel more confident talking to your man then.

She swallowed. She was sweet and innocent. Discussing sex probably ranked up there with a root canal.

Lance had a suspicion this boyfriend was her first sexual experience.

Her naivete was the main reason her parents pushed her to attend Lakemont, because Lance was there. He could keep an eye on her.

You mean like sex and stuff.

He tipped his head. Sorta. Nothing too heavy, but I could sorta walk you through a few things during these few weeks. Then, when he returns, you’ll feel more confident to tell him what you like because you’ll know. And if he asks about this new approach, tell him you were reading Dr. Ruth.

She laughed.

Lance loved to see her smile. Always had.

Um, I guess it’s okay. We need to go slow. Okay? And I definitely need to keep my privates covered.

He nearly grinned at her choice of words. Instead, he nodded because he could certainly work with that. He knew his skillset. He could work Ana into a frenzy in those two weeks, she’d be like a new woman. A new wanton woman.

Okay, take a big sip and then hand me the glass.

She drank, and he turned down the TV volume. We’ll talk a little bit as we go about learning what you like.

She nodded. Her pupils were dilated, and he was hard. He’d fantasized about something like this for God knew how long.

I’ll start with some simple things.

Okay.

He reached behind her head and carefully removed a ponytail holder. Then, he massaged her scalp.

Her eyelids fluttered closed, and he moved in closer, slowly kissing her face, her eyes, her cheeks, and a few pecks on her lips.

Good, huh? He knew it was. Her breathing had accelerated. And yet so simple, right?

She nodded but didn’t open her eyes.

He trailed his kisses down her neck to her clavicle. He continued over her T-shirt, knowing he’d have to amend that situation.

Now, I’m gonna reach up and pull down your bra straps a little.

The flush on her cheeks was gorgeous.

He slid fingers under the cotton fabric, finding the straps. He pulled down as much as he could. Then he shifted to the floor and in between her legs. He tugged her down a little, so she was in a more reclined position.

Honestly, he loved the idea of being between her legs. He probably shouldn’t think about it or want it, but he couldn’t stop the desire to want to learn more about what turned his precious friend on.

Returning to her neck, he kissed her soft skin and tongued a little circle over her racing pulse point. He made his way to her upper chest, kissing the covered area, and stopping at the bra line.

Her breathing came heavier now, a hard pant.

Excellent.

He kissed her cleavage, following a line down to her stomach. As he kissed, he lifted her shirt to expose her tummy. Her tan just
