her lower lip. “I’m not interested in booty calls or casual hook-ups anymore.”
His face fell. “You’re not?”
“No.”
“Then…?” His voice cracked, his expression so distraught he couldn’t finish his sentence.
Sarah rushed in to reassure him. “I want it all, Surfer Dude. I want the sex and the snuggles. I want the sleepovers and the breakfast the next morning. I want you to be the last thing I see before I fall asleep at night and the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning.”
Charlie broke into a smile, a smile brighter than the sun that now shone in the sky behind him. “I can do that.”
She matched his smile with one of her own.
“But there’s something else I want too,” he warned.
“And that is?”
“A promise from you.”
“Anything.” She’d promise him the world if he asked.
“Promise me, please, that as long as you live, you will never, ever again touch another surfboard.”
Her smile turned into a grin. “I have to. Just one more time. To give it back to Sam.”
“Okay, just for the next five minutes, could you please stop mentioning the good doctor’s name?”
“Jealous?”
“Ridiculously so.”
Oh, the satisfaction. “You introduced us.”
“I was an idiot.”
“Huh!” She smacked him on his chest. “That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”
“Could you do this idiot one favor?”
“Anything.”
“Tell me again that you love me.”
“I love you, Charlie Hudson. I think I’ve loved you since the first moment I saw you.”
“I love you too, Geek Girl. I’ve loved you for months.”
“Given the opportunity, Surfer Dude, I bet I could love you for the rest of my life.”
Charlie’s expression turned serious. “You know I’m not a gambling man, Sar. I never take bets unless I know I can win them.”
“You’ll win this one, Char. Take the bet.”
Charlie refused. “Uh-uh. I’m through with bets. The last one nearly killed me. How about you just promise to love me for the rest of your life, and I promise to love you back for just as long?”
Sarah’s heart melted in a puddle at his feet. “I think I could live with that.”
“I think I could live with it too. Fact, I don’t think I could live without it.”
Sarah sighed as pure happiness settled in her belly. “It’s just as well then that you’ll never have to.”
And this time it was Sarah who kissed Charlie. And she didn’t stop kissing him for a very, very long time, not even when the whistles and catcalls down the beach echoed across the waves crashing one after the other to shore.

He was her best friend…until he became her fantasy.
More Than Friends
© 2013 Jess Dee
Lucy Lawson’s got it bad. Bad as in stunned speechless by the situation she’s in, by the feelings sitting on her chest, ready to explode. She’s in love…with her best friend.
Problem is, telling Sebastian Blackford could destroy the best thing in her life, but the longer she keeps her feelings under wraps, the stronger the need to spill her secret.
The last thing Seb suspects is that his best mate is madly, wildly in
