Into the Tide (Cottonwood Cove, #1)

by Laura Pavlov

Hell, common sense told me to go out and get laid. That would be the surefire fastest way to get her out of my system. But I didn’t want to do it. I couldn’t have her, but I didn’t want anyone else, either.

Fine. What are you doing today? Going with Lila to check out that treatment center for her dad. Brax Of course, you are. What a wonderful friend you are to her, you douche sack. You leave me high and dry with a raging boner, and you’re going to skip around a treatment center with your best friend’s little sister. Dude. This is madness. STFU, dick weasel. Trav asked me to go with her. You can ask her yourself. She’ll be at Sunday dinner. Brax Of course, she will. You two are practically inseparable.

xD

I didn’t like it. The dude was getting credit for my magic schlong. My lips. My hands. Fuck me, this is ridiculous.

xD

Because she was my girl, wasn’t she? Maybe I couldn’t have her, but she was mine.

I wanted her so fucking bad it was painful. Physically painful. My chest ached.

I’d even wondered for years if something was wrong with me. I’d wondered if maybe I was dead inside or missing something, as I’d never been that girl who was boy crazy or thought about sex all the time.

“Excuse me. I’ll be back after this dance.” “I don’t think it’ll take that long, but we’ll see,” Cage teased, and I wasn’t sure what he meant by that.

Oh I do

Travis walked to the fridge and pulled out three beer bottles. “Oh, I don’t think glass bottles are a good idea.” Brax set his on the counter after Travis handed them to us.

xD

“What are you doing?” I gasped, dropping to my knees in front of him. “I don’t think you’re supposed to get down on your knees.” He chuckled, and I scooched forward. “I go where you go,” I said, my words breaking on a sob.

I will die on the floor now. So sweet.
