his own saliva. “Wow, I wasn’t. But now I want to.” Really wanted to. But hadn’t he decided she was better than that? That she deserved more? “I was going to ask if you’d like to grab some coffee.”
    Her eyes lit up though she tried to hide it. “Coffee could be good. Yeah, let’s do coffee.”
    “And my apartment?” Okay, he was still a guy. And his dick was throbbing.
    She bit her lip as if considering. “Why don’t we play it by ear?”
    “I think I can live with that.”

Chapter Four
     
    “The Blue Mug okay?” Chase asked after retrieving his notebook from the ground.
    “Duh. Where else would we go?”
    Chase had been told The Blue Mug at Margie’s was the best in town, but frankly, it was the only coffee shop he’d discovered so far. Plus it was close by, only a block away from where they were.
    Together they headed across the grass, passing a group of guys playing Frisbee Golf outside Frasier Hall. Chase stepped closer to Kira. He wasn’t sure if he wanted people to know she was with him so he’d seem cooler or so they wouldn’t think she was available. Admittedly, either reason was immature.
    But was it his imagination, or did Kira also step closer to him when one of the Frisbee guys smiled at her? Maybe they were both being immature. It was a nice thought, anyway.
    They were so close now that he could reach out and grab her hand if he wanted to. And he did want to. Electric currents streamed from his fingers to hers, like a magnet pulling him toward her. So close…
    But he couldn’t get the nerve up. Stupid since he’d already had his dick inside her.
    God, he was a chicken-shit. And he’d been so in his head about her, they were already halfway to their destination and they hadn’t said a word to each other.
    Now, conversation he could manage. He cleared his throat. “So tell me something about yourself.”
    She glanced at him. “Like what?”
    “Anything.”
    “Why?”
    Chase shrugged. “To get to know each other. That’s what people do on dates. ”
    Her brows shot up. “This is a date?”
    Foot in mouth. Maybe he couldn’t manage conversation. “Oh—I don’t—I guess it doesn’t have to be.” His cheeks were warming. How embarrassing that this chick could make him blush.
    Kira broke into a smile. “Geez, I’m just kidding. Chill out.” She lowered her eyes. “Actually, I didn’t know. If it was a date or not.” She peeked up at him from under her fantastically long lashes.
    It was awesome to realize she was as tentative about him as he was about her. It gave him the confidence he needed. “Well, if I say it’s a date, would you still be here?”
    “I would.”
    Hallelujah! “Then it’s totally a date. No question asked.”
    She laughed. Did girl’s laughs always sound so light and pleasant? Suddenly it felt like he’d never really listened to one before. Hearing Kira’s was like hearing laughter for the first time.
    His hand brushed hers, and he couldn’t stand it anymore. “Since it’s a date, I could hold your hand, right? People do that on dates, don’t they?”
    “While they get to know each other? Yeah, they do.”
    “Awesome.” Chase slipped his hand into hers. Sometimes holding a girl’s hand for the first time was awkward and sweaty. But not this time. His and Kira’s seemed to fit perfectly together. Perhaps it had something to do with how intimate they’d already been. Yeah, that was it. It had nothing to do with being “made for each other” or “fated”. That sort of thinking was just ridiculous.
    Especially when he had an article to write. He had to keep his eye on the prize. “So then. Something about yourself.”
    “Oh, yes.” She twisted her lip while she pondered and damn, he couldn’t take his eyes off the sexy gesture. “Are we going deep or staying superficial?”
    It seemed to him they’d already gone deep.
    God, had he really just thought that? He was getting as crude as his new roommates.
    “Maybe we could
