Excerpt:
After
she and Caleb sat down, a group of guys sat on the other side of her, laughing
loudly and fake punching each other until one of them noticed her.
“Yo
babe, you need company? I got room on my lap.” He leered at her.
A
swirling vortex of anxiety and anger shot through Mandy. She hated guys like
this, who just invaded her space and made rude comments like she was some toy,
not a real person. She turned away from the jerk hoping to ignore him, but
instead she met Caleb’s stormy dark gaze. Uh oh.
Mandy
put a restraining hand on Caleb’s arm but he ignored her, leaning over her to
get in the guy’s face. “Shut your pie-hole, unless you want a taste of my
fist.”
Mandy
closed her eyes and sighed. Great. Now she had not two cavemen to deal with.
The
other guy tensed up. His blue eyes, which looked glazed, met hers. “You with
this asshole?”
Caleb
leaned in close, his spicy scent overwhelming her as his voice rumbled in her
ear. “Take your pick, Disco. The devil you know or the one you don’t.”
Holy
crap. He was practically smoldering. She grabbed her soda and took a long
drink, then glanced at the blue-eyed jerk.
“Yeah,”
she finally said, “I’m with him.”
Blue
Eyes shrugged. “Your loss.” He turned away, saying foul to his friends that she
chose to ignore.
Caleb
leaned forward again but she pushed him back, locking eyes with him. “Caleb. If
you hang out with my friends, there’s basically one rule. Don’t be a jerk. And
no fighting.” She was suddenly aware of her hands still on his chest. Muscles
flexed underneath the fabric of his shirt.
“That’s
two rules.” Caleb’s hands reached up to cover hers. His eyes narrowed. “You’d
rather I let that guy harass you?” His grip tightened, flattening her palms
against his chest. Cammie and J.T. goggled at them, open-mouthed, while Jiro
smirked and Liam shook his head, smiling.
“I--I--um--”
How could she possibly form a coherent sentence when Caleb was filling up her
senses like this, his heartbeat racing under her hand? The theater darkened and
the speakers vibrated with the soundtrack from the movie previews, but Mandy
couldn’t see or hear anything except Caleb.
Caleb
released her hands, shifting in his seat to drape his arm over her, his fingers
tangling in her hair, then drifting across her neck before setting on her
shoulder. Every nerve ending in her body roared to life, and she was pretty
sure that fire really was his secret super power.
“W-what
are you doing?” she managed to whisper.
In
the dim light from the screen, she saw him tilt his chin toward Blue Eyes.
“Being an excellent fake boyfriend. He keeps watching you. I want to make sure
he gets the message to leave you alone.”
About the Author
Lisa Brown Roberts still hasn't
recovered from the teenage trauma of nearly tweezing off both eyebrows and
having to pencil them in for an entire school year. This and other angst-filled
memories inspire her to write YA books about navigating life's painful and
funny dramas, and falling in love along the way.
Her almost forever home is
Colorado, though she occasionally pines for the days when she lived within
walking distance of the Pacific Ocean. Her house is full of books, boys,
four-legged prima donnas, and lots of laughter.
