Seeking Prince Charming Read Online Free Page B

She was enjoying his discomfort. “Secret first. Or maybe I should go find Corey…” She pushed off of the door and started to walk past him.
    Grabbing her wrist, he stopped her in her tracks. “No. Wait. You win. Get in the car and I’ll share a secret.” He cocked a brow at her. “Happy?”
    Spinning back around, she planted a kiss on his cheek and then slipped inside of the car. “Very.”
     
    ~*~*~*~
     
    Chloe watched Reed through the windshield as he walked around the front of the car and slipped into the driver’s side.
    “So, spill. A secret and not some silly nonsensical one. I want a juicy one.”
    He slumped back into his head and sighed. “Fine. I dated a girl who was insanely religious and was a virgin, so I told her I was one too thinking she’d sleep with me quicker. I was 21, hadn’t been a virgin for a while.”
    “Did she believe you?”
    Reed chuckled, slipping the key into the ignition and starting the car. “Nope. She broke up with me. Apparently I was sent to her by God to tempt her.” He huffed, rolling his eyes. “Yeah.”
    Her eyes narrowed at him. “So how old were you?”
    He opened his mouth and snapped it shut. “Twenty.”
    A roar of laughter exploded from her. “Bullshit.”
    “What?”
    “I know for a fact you fucked Andrea Lawson in the woods behind the high school when you were 16.”
    Reed’s brow furrowed as he shut off the car. “How do you know that?”
    “Are you kidding? Andrea has such a big mouth. Everyone in town knew that.”
    “You were only 12, how did you find out?”
    Chloe rolled her eyes. “I was 12, not stupid. Information trickles down.”
    “Oh…” He leaned forward to turn the car back on and then stopped. “Alright, fair is fair. What about you?”
    Her smile faded. “What about me what?” It was fun hearing him confess, but not so fun when the tables were turned.
    “When was your first?”
    Chloe looked down at the purse sitting in her lap and began to tinker with the golden chain strap.
    “Have you?”
    The intensity of his stare made her even more uncomfortable. She didn’t want him to think she was some inexperienced little girl. But if things were to progress, he’d know anyhow. “I’ve never actually. It’s not to say I haven’t experienced other stuff, but the actual… sex. Not so much.” She lifted her eyes to see him smiling, not a contradictory smile but one of reassurance.
    “That’s good because being the ex-older-stepbrother I would feel the need to kick the ass of whoever took the virtue of my ex-young-stepsister.”
    Their eyes locked a minute, then with a burst of laughter Chloe swatted him in the chest with her clutch. “You’re such an idiot. Just take me on this date you planned already.”
    Joining in with her laughter he started the car and pulled out onto the road. Despite her questions he refused to tell her where he was taking her for their mystery date, but that was okay by her, they could be spending the evening in complete silence staring at a blank wall and she’d be perfectly all right with that. Just being with him was all she needed.

    “You know how to salsa?” She gave him a skeptical look as they entered the club and peered down over the metal railing at the dance floor where close to a hundred couples were grinding against each other in time with the music.
    “Nope.” Grabbing her hand he led her down the stairs.
    “Then why are we here?”
    He look down at her and shrugged. “It was an idea. Depending on how this works out it may or may not have been a good one.”
    They stood on the sidelines for a song. Glancing up at Reed, Chloe grinned; he was watching the couples with intensity as if studying the moves. She suspected that might actually have been the case. Despite his antics, he was an overachiever.
    “All right. We can do this,” he stated, pulling her onto the dance floor. Once they were dead in the center of the dance floor he twirled her around, pulled her
