The Supermodel's Best Friend (A Romantic Comedy) (39 page)

“How can I be sure you won’t string me along
for years until I’m too old to make it with someone new?”

“You’ll have to trust me.”

“It’d be great for a few months, maybe even a
couple of years,” he continued. “We like each other, we’re great in
bed, et cetera.”

Laughing, she twisted around until she was
straddling him. “I can’t wait for the et cetera.”

“But then I’d start talking about the future
and you’d start pointing out all the problems we had together. Why
we’re not ready to buy a house. Become parents. I’d be a sucker for
all these arguments because I’m very practical.”

With a push, he was on his back. She flopped
on top of him, pinning his hands above his head. “If we’re not,
we’re not. But we’ll have each other.”

“Next thing you know, I’ll be forty and
you’ll shack up with some young dude who doesn’t shoot blanks and
I’ll have to get a dog—no, fish. For the aquarium. Lots of
fish—”

Her mouth shut him up. And her weight on his
lungs, knocking the air out of him.

“Since you’ll be in Reno,” he gasped. “The
end.”

“I’d follow you anywhere.” She kissed her way
down his jaw to the pulse in his throat. He smelled good. He felt
good. He tasted good.

“Anywhere?”

“Mmm-hmm,” she said, trailing kisses on her
way back up his neck to his mouth.

He broke free of her grip on his wrists and
rolled her onto her back. He kissed her until she was panting for
breath. “I don’t know.” He slid his hand down her stomach. “It
sounds kind of stalker-ish to me.”

She would’ve laughed, invited him to
breakfast for the next few years, told him she loved him again, but
what he did next—

Pushed all of her plans right out of her
head.
