best nonsexual friends. It was just the way of things, and the reason he was the perfect candidate to pop her cherry.
     
    So when nonsexual best friend Wesley had kissed her like he'd wanted to devour her, it had brought things she'd never before considered into light. And she found herself thinking of things like his lips and his hands and the fact that her body would roll under his…
     
    “It is,” Savannah replied at last, breathless.Oh. God . She sank, stomach weighted with tension. “An SOS. A big SOS.”
     
    “What's wrong?”
     
    “He kissed me.”
     
    Something heavy collapsed on the other line, but the echo was drowned out by Allison's excited squeal. “He kissed you?” the redhead demanded. “Omigod! Omigod!”
     
    “Shhh!”
     
    “How was it? Was it amazing? I bet it'd be amazing. Oooh…”
     
    “It was…” Savannah's voice faded, her brow furrowing. “Wait… You'd bet it'd be amazing?
    Why would you bet it was amazing?”
     
    “Ummm…'cause he's sex on legs? Honestly, Savannah, you're the only one who's never noticed.”
     
    Until now. Her face couldn't be redder.
     
    “There were definite…amazing qualities. Like…the whole kiss.” She sighed and shook her head. “And the way he touched me.”
     
    “There was touching?”
     
    “Nothing inappropriate…just a…Wesley's-never-touched-me-like-thisthing.”
     
    “Mhmm,” Allison mused wisely. There was definitively a hint of a smirk in her tone. “So what's the big deal? Besides Thorn, I mean. Paige says he's huge.”
     
    “Allison!”
     
    Her friend giggled wildly. “Sorry…but really. She says he's like half-horse or something.”
     
    “Could you stop?” she demanded. “Wesley was supposed to be safe. I wanted him to be the one I… Because he wasn't a guy, just my friend with guy parts, and suddenly he'scompletely guy, and I'm just now…” Savannah exhaled deeply, her heart hammering so hard, she swore she was going to go into cardiac arrest at age eighteen. “I think… Oh God.”
     
    “Oh. My. God.”
     
    Every cell in her body froze. “What?”
     
    “You like him!” Allison squealed. “I mean,like like him!”
     
    “No, I don't.” The words sputtered through her lips so quickly, she might as well have ripped her heart right out of her rib cage and placed it on a stake for all to see.
     
    And just like that, the illusion crashed. Everything crashed.
     
    “Oh my God.” Savannah gasped. “Oh my God.”
     
    “You so do! You like him!”
     
    “I can't… Oh God.”
     
    “Hey,” Allison said, her voice softer. “It's okay to like him, you know.”
     
    “But he's my best friend—”
     
    “Which makes it awesome. The best relationships are based on friendship.” A pause. “Not that I have any, y'know, experience…but Mark and me? Bestest of best buds, and I'm, well…invisible to him, but one of the reasons I like him is he's my… Well, he'smy Thorn. And if I can't have mine, you might as well have yours.”
     
    Savannah winced. “Allison…”
     
    “Hey, just saying.”
     
    “Yeah, but even so… Wes doesn't like me…like that. I mean, I practically had to beg him to have sex with me, which… Oh my God, Ibegged him to have sex with me!” Her cheeks flamed.
    If the world had any mercy whatsoever, a giant hole would open beneath her and swallow her up and make her dumbass plan obsolete. “Oh my God…”
     
    “Savannah—”
     
    “I can't… There's noway I can face him!”
     
    “Ummm… I think you'll kinda have to if you're gonna be having sex.” A pause. “Well, I guess that depends on the position—”
     
    “Allison!”
     
    “Just saying!” she squealed. Then, softer, she said, “So…what are you gonna do?”
     
    “Avoid him like crazy tomorrow and see what happens.”
     
    “So basically chicken out?”
     
    Savannah nodded. “In a big ole way.”
     
    “Yeah. You know what you should've done?”
     
    “Listened to you?”
     
    “I'm just saying.
