Kiss Me Read Online Free Page B

doesn’t matter. Guys are funny about that kind of stuff. I guarantee Luke would be totally turned off if he knew about my wild past, even if I’d done those things a long time ago.”
    “That’s a bullshit double standard.”
    Jenna shrugged. “I agree. Like I said though, guys are funny.”
    “But now you’re involved. It sounds like Luke was pretty upfront with you. Don’t you think he deserves the same? Have you thought about that?”
    Jenna stood and placed her dish and mug in the sink. Yes, she’d thought about it. “I wouldn’t consider us involved ,” she said over her shoulder. “So, I don’t see any reason to tell Luke anything. Actually, the more I think about, I should probably cancel today.”
    “Today? What are you talking about?”
    Jenna cringed as she sat back down. She’d forgotten that she hadn’t told Darci about their afternoon plans. “Luke asked me to go boating, but I think it would be best to end this before it starts.”
    Darci laughed loud enough to startle the dogs. They ran into the kitchen barking up a storm.
    As Jenna soothed one of the yapping mutts, she cocked a brow at Darci. “You want to let me in on what’s so funny?”
    “You, Luke, this whole no-sex, kissing-only stuff…I’d love to see how he handles himself once he sees you in a bikini. I’m picturing him jumping into the lake to hide his raging hard-on.”
    Jenna cracked a smile. “I told you, I’m not going to go.”
    “C’mon, why not?” Darci asked as she tossed a crumpled napkin at her. “Quit psychoanalyzing things and let them ride. Luke’s a great guy. For once, stop letting your head mess with your heart. For once, let things get messy.”
    She didn’t like messy, didn’t like letting things ride, because it left her feeling out of control. And after the way her body and heart had responded to Luke’s kiss, right now, she was definitely feeling very out of control.
    Darci rested her hands on the table. “Be honest, you want to take things to the next level.”
    She tossed the napkin back at Darci. “I do and I don’t.”
    Darci caught the napkin, then balled it in her fist. “Jenna, you’re my best friend, I’d do anything for you, except watch you keep beating yourself up for something you had no control over. People divorce, men and women cheat, but not every relationship has to end that way. Quit avoiding a serious relationship. You can’t keep worrying about those what ifs, when they might never happen. And, no offense, but if you keep this up, you’ll end up like your mom.”
    Jenna looked away. After her father had left, her mother had spiraled into a deep depression, and still lived like a recluse. “I’m nothing like my mom.”
    “Really? You don’t date, you spend your weekends cleaning, your nights organizing your hutch or sock drawer or watching reality shows.”
    Oh God, she had turned into her mother.
    Darci stood, then rested a hand on Jenna’s shoulder. “You’re a great catch. And you deserve a great guy. Promise me you’ll go with Luke this afternoon. It’s such a gorgeous day and you’ll have so much fun on his boat.”
    Still floored over the idea that she’d been subconsciously following in her mother’s footsteps, Jenna muttered, “Okay, but you have to promise me you won’t try anymore Cupid crap.”
    Darci sent her a triumphant grin. “Deal. By the way…how was that goodnight kiss?” she asked with a waggle of her dark brows.
    Fabulous and absolutely toe-curling. “Nothing big, it was just a kiss.”
    Darci shook her head, then took her dirty dish and mug to the sink mumbling, “Yeah, right. Just a kiss, my butt…”

    Luke inwardly groaned. Jenna’s yellow sundress revealed bright blue straps and the outline of her bathing suit.
    Not a one piece.
    As he climbed aboard the Sea Ray, Jenna toed on her flip flops and moved toward him. With no make-up, and her hair pulled back in a ponytail, she looked sexy, summery, and way too tempting.
    She
