with his mouth. I lost all of my defenses and began grinding myself against him. His tongue and my hips could not move fast enough. I needed this release, I wanted this release, and Jace was the perfect guy to give it to me. Almost instantaneously, I felt my orgasm drawing near the surface.
    “Jace, stop. I want you. Inside me. Now. Please,” I begged, feeling shameless and wondering at the same time what the hell I was saying.
    All of the sudden he stopped. He removed his tongue from me and gently pushed me off of him as he looked up at me with conflicted eyes. He wanted me, I could see that, so what was the problem?
    “Shit. Alexa, I… You deserve more than me. I shouldn’t have done this. I can’t take that from you. It’s too much,” he said, breathless and shaky.
    “Wait, what? What the hell? What did you think was going to happen? I want you. To hell with what I deserve. I want it to be you. I don’t care about anything else!”
    Jace stood up, throwing his shirt back on and tossing mine to me. I was crushed, knowing that our evening had come to an end way too soon.
    “I…dammit… You have no idea how much you mean to me. I can’t in good conscience take your virginity and leave the next day,” he said, crushing my heart.
    “Jace, it’s fine. I want this. I want you. Even if you leave tomorrow and I never see you again. Tonight, it’s you and me.” I tried to reason with him, mentally freaking out that this may be the last time that I have this chance.
    “Alexa, I care about you. I have so many feelings for you that I’m having a hard time bottling them up inside. That’s why I’m walking away. It’s killing me, and I’ll probably regret this for the rest of my life, but… this is goodbye. Not for good. Just for now.”
    I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. Jace walked to me, kissed my forehead, and began to walk away. Oh hell no, he does not get to walk away from me, I thought. I stood up and ran after him like a lovesick fool—or at least a really horny one. He wasn’t expecting me, so when I jumped on his back, he fell to the sand. I landed on top of him, and when I rolled him over, he looked into my eyes.
    “Jace Michael McAllister, you do not get to declare feelings for me, go down on me, and then try to walk away in some ‘knight in shining armor’ fashion. I may be a virgin, but I’m no innocent.”
    His eyes went wide as I continued.
    “Oh yeah. Little Lexi Sullivan’s run around the bases, making it all the way to third. You’re a hotshot baseball player, Jace. You’re in this to score. I’m a sure thing. A goddamn freaking home run. If you don’t go back to that blanket and send me to home plate, then you’ll have a losing record,” I said, trying to feel as confident as I sounded.
    He looked up at me with such emotion that I could hardly handle being so close to him.
    “Alexa… I…”
    I put my index finger to his lips. “Jace, if I never see you again, I’ll remember this night for the rest of my life. I’ll always have a special part of you in my heart. I want… No, I need it to be you. Please. If you’re leaving tomorrow, give me this piece of you to hold on to.”
    Jace let out a deep breath before standing up to brush the sand off of his shorts. I was utterly terrified that he was about to break my heart for a second time when he grabbed my hand and led me back to the blanket. Laying me down, he looked into my eyes, and it was all I could do not to shake nervously.
    “I need to know that you’re sure about this. I’m leaving and I don’t know when I’ll be back. But I do know that when I can come back, it’ll be for you. You’re it for me. I want you so bad, but I need to know that you’ll be okay with this. That when I leave you won’t hate me. That this night will be enough for you—at least for now. I promise you, I’ll come back for you, but that has to be enough.”
    My heart warmed and melted at his words. I thought I could never see him
