Saving You (Love Wanted In Texas Book 2)(19)

Someone bumped my leg and I looked to see Colt standing there. “My dad told you to keep an eye on me or something, Luke?” I smiled and let out a chuckle as I nodded my head. “I know he’s worried about me, but I think he’s more worried about Alex.”

I looked over at Colt. “Alex? Why?”

Colt shrugged. “Probably the same reason we all worry about the girls.”

I followed Colts gaze. “You ever talk to Lauren and get things straightened out?”

Colt lifted the Coke bottle to his lips and shook his head. He took a drink and then laughed. “Nope. She just pretends like we are the best of friends. She isn’t dating anyone, but that’s not very fair of me to be happy about that.”

“How are things with you and Rachel?”

“I broke up with her.” He turned and looked at me. “She wanted us to sleep together.”

I pulled my head back and looked at him. “You broke up with her because she wanted to sleep with you?”

Colt let out a sigh. “No, I broke up with her because I walked in on her f*cking another guy. She was pissed at me because I wouldn’t sleep with her. I didn’t want to sleep with her. I mean, I didn’t love her. She deserved to have her first time be with someone who loved her and would cherish that moment.”

I lifted the left side of my mouth into a smile. “So much like your damn daddy, you know that? Romantic bastard.”

Colt laughed and then shook his head. “I guess, maybe it’s because I want my first time to be with someone I love. Someone who I’ll cherish the moment with.”

My smile faded as I looked back out into the crowd. I’d never have that moment back. Lauren was now up and dancing with a few friends while they laughed.

“Yeah, you never get that moment back, Colt. Don’t f*ck it up like I did.”

Colt turned and looked at me. I knew he wanted to ask me about it, but he didn’t.

“If you could go back and change that night, would you?” Colt asked. I slowly turned and looked at him.

“In a heartbeat. If I could take away the biggest mistake of my life, I’d do it no questions asked.”

Colt smiled weakly and nodded his head. “Why don’t you just tell her, Luke?”

My heart instantly hurt. “Because she’s moved on.”

Colt looked back out to Lauren. “Why do they have to f*ck with our heads and hearts so much?”

I closed my eyes and thought back to me kissing Libby in the rain. Opening my eyes I said, “They probably think the same thing about us.”





ZACH WALKED UP and took me in his arms. “I’m really going to miss you, Lib.”

I smiled and reached up to kiss him. “I’ll miss you too, Zach.” I stepped back and turned to shut my suitcase. I would be leaving soon to meet Alex and Grace in Austin. Then we were driving to the coast for spring break. The thought of being with Luke all week raced through my mind. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. I hadn’t seen much of Luke at all. Will told me Luke spent most of his time working out or studying. According to Abigail, he spent much of his time f*cking her. Any chance she had to talk to me, she was sure to tell me about their hook ups.

I hate her.

I jumped when Zach placed his hands on my shoulders. “Let me relax you, Libby.” His hand slowly moved down my arm to my stomach. “Baby, you seem so tense.”

My stomach clenched at the idea of Zach relaxing me. We had yet to have sex and Zach knew I was a virgin. I appreciated the fact that he was not pushing me. He did, however, manage to give me amazing orgasms with his skillful fingers. I closed my eyes and let out a moan. Zach slipped his hand around and into my panties. “Libby, let me make you come.”

I dropped my head back against him and lifted my leg. “Yes,” I whispered as I let Zach push all thoughts of Luke from my mind.

Zach pulled me closer to him, feeling his hardness press against my body caused me to moan.

“You’re so wet. Fuck you’re so wet.” Zach hissed as his fingers began to move in and out faster. I felt my body begin to quiver. Closing my eyes, I let it go. My orgasm ripped through my body as I felt my insides pulsing against Zach’s fingers. He moved his lips to my ear and whispered, “I can’t wait to make you mine.”

My eyes sprung open and tears began to well up. If only I wanted to be Zach’s. If only my heart didn’t belong to Luke.



SPRING BREAK IN Port Aransas was beyond crazy. My parents, Alex’s parents, and Grace’s parents had beach houses here. All right next to each other. We had been coming to Port A for as long as I could remember.

Grace had her face buried in her phone as we walked along the beach. “So, what should we do tonight?” I asked Grace.

She shrugged her shoulders as she continued to look at her phone. “I don’t know. Maybe we could …”

Before I could warn Grace to watch out, she ran smack into a guy who had been standing there talking to his friends. Grace stumbled backward, but he grabbed hold of her before she lost her balance.

The smile that spread across his face instantly caused me to smile and Grace to let out a moan she surely didn’t mean to let escape her lips.

“Grace?”

Grace’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “Noah?”
