had begun dating Lauren, and he’d looked forward to it every time. Not that he’d ever let anyone know that. Tim was almost eight years older than Quinn, and he had a history that was seven shades of fucked up. There was no way a girl like her needed to waste her time with a guy like him. But that didn’t stop him from dreaming.
    He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of concern. Quinn’s best friends were all enjoying the party, yet she was sitting alone in the backyard. He took in her posture as he approached, immediately knowing that something was off with her.
    â€œHey, stranger,” he said as he plopped down in the chair beside her.
    â€œHey,” Quinn said quietly.
    He noticed the way her eyes drifted over him, taking him in from head to toe. It made him feel like fucking Superman. “So what’s up? Why are you sitting over here?”
    Quinn took a long drink from the beer bottle she was holding. “That’s an interesting question.” The words were slow leaving her mouth.
    Is she drunk?
“That’s why I asked it,” Tim said with a grin.
    â€œCheeky.”
    Yup, she’s wasted.
    Quinn was sitting cross-legged in the chair, and she turned her entire body toward Tim when she spoke again. “Did you know that I’m safe and traditional and predictable and a whole lot of other boring things?”
    Tim took a sip of his water. “I did not.”
    â€œWell, I’m glad that I was here to enlighten you,” she said as she drained the rest of the beer.
    â€œHow many of those have you had?”
    â€œI lost count at seven.”
    â€œWow. Looking to dash that whole boring thing by getting your stomach pumped?”
    â€œIf that’s what it takes,” she murmured as she lifted the bottle back to her lips. Upon realizing that it was empty, she muttered a “figures,” and set it clumsily on the ground under her chair.
    â€œWho told you you were all of those things anyway?” Tim asked.
    Her only response was a slight shrug as she looked out over the pool.
    â€œOkay, I’ll just ask all of them, then.” Tim stood up and turned toward the deck, where her friends were still congregated. “Hey, everybody, I was just—” He was cut off by Quinn leaping onto his back.
    â€œShh. Don’t be embarrassing.”
    Tim tried to ignore how good it felt to have Quinn pressed up against him. Her long, thin frame molded against him, her full breasts pushing onto the corded muscles in his back. He quickly gave his dick a silent warning to behave as he reached up and unhooked Quinn’s hands from his shoulders. He kept hold of one hand as he turned around to face her. “Then tell me. Who said you were boring?”
    â€œI just am.”
    â€œBullshit.”
    Quinn’s eyes widened slightly. “You said a bad word,” she teased.
    â€œI did. And I’m going to say a lot more of them if you don’t tell me who was calling you names.”
    â€œAww, you going to defend my honor?”
    Tim didn’t return her smile. “Absolutely.”
    Quinn tilted her head slightly, and he would’ve given anything to know what she was thinking. She blew out a breath, pulled away from him, and sank back into her chair, resting her arms on her thighs. “Do you ever wish you were someone different?”
    Tim wasn’t sure how to answer that question. He was sure she knew about his past—at least the highlights. He’d drunk enough water at bars while he was out with them to make it pretty obvious. Not to mention the fact that Lauren knew all about Tim’s problems with addiction. The girls didn’t seem like the type of friends who kept secrets from one another. “I’ve been someone different,” he finally answered as he sat back down beside her.
    Quinn looked over at him. “Oh. Yeah. Sorry. That was a stupid question.”
    â€œNo, it wasn’t. Now tell me
