One Last Night (7 page)

“
I’m sorry,” I say, taking
a step back from her. The taste of her is still on my lips and I
want more, so much more, but I can’t. It’s not right.

“
Don’t be,” she says,
grabbing my hand and pulling me closer.

But I resist, glancing away because I
know if I look into her eyes I’ll lose every ounce of willpower I’m
trying to summon. I can’t believe I’m about to undo everything I’ve
put together these past few months. But Jenna is right here in
front of me and she deserves to know the truth. “Listen…there are
some things you don’t know about me…”

She looks into my eyes and I’m caught.
“An STD?” she says boldly.

I wince. “No.”

“
A felony? A girlfriend? A
baby?”

I can’t help but laugh. In light of
her guesses, maybe my secret’s not such a big deal. “No. Nothing
like that.”

She grabs both of my hands and pulls
me to her and every shred of resolve melts away. “Then I don’t
care.”

“That was all before…”
Jenna waves her hand in the air, but we both know what she means.
Before I touched her in the most intimate places. Before I felt her
shudder under my tongue. Before she tasted the salt on my skin.
Before I promised a lot more than I could deliver.

Ty Branch has wanted one thing his
entire life—to play professional baseball. When he gets a chance to
move from San Francisco to play at Texas powerhouse Garvin State
University, he's willing to do whatever it takes to make his dream
come true, even if that means hiding his past. But when he meets
dance major Jenna Taylor, the chemistry is so strong his
single-minded quest begins to weaken. As he gets to know her
quirky, small-town family, he falls more deeply

in love, but becomes even more
sure he can never tell her the truth about his family. When a
surprise visitor blows his past wide-open, Ty is forced to come to
terms with his secrets. But is the damage already done with Jenna
or can he find a way to sacrifice everything he's worked for in
order to win back the heart of a once-in-a-lifetime
love?
