Hardin Scott has been madly in love with Tessa Young since the moment he first laid eyes on her, but there's no way she could ever see him as anything more than a friend. After all, he's a bad boy with a promiscuous past and she's a sweet and innoce...

Tessa is lying with her back to me. I can smell her soft, blonde hair. It smells strongly of vanilla. This is my new favourite scent. I gently lift her hair off the back of her neck and place a soft kiss there. I continue to kiss all the way across her back to her shoulder, then run my finger tips lightly down her arm.
"That feels so good," Tessa says in a sleepy voice and rolls over to face me.
"How do you feel after what we just did?" I ask, hoping she enjoyed it as much as I did.
"Happy," she says with the brightest smile.
I brush the few pieces of hair that are stuck to her forehead to the side and continue to tuck the rest of her hair behind her ear. "Do you know how beautiful you are?"
"Hardin..." She blushes.
There's something about the way she's looking into my eyes. It's as if she can see into my soul. And there's this bright smile that she has plastered on her face every time she looks at me. I can't help but blurt out, "I love you."
When Tessa doesn't say anything, and instead continues to stare at me I start to babble on. "I understand if you can't say it back to me. I know you just broke up with Zed, and we only really started dating a few days ago, but you have to know I've been in love with you since the moment I met you and I will wait however long it takes for you to love me back..." I'm out of breath by the time I finish my speech.
Tessa lets out a giggle and I raise my eyebrow at her. She reaches out to push back the hair from my forehead and replies, "I love you, too."
"Really? You do?"
"Yes." She smiles at me.
"Tess, that makes me so happy. But please, don't say 'too'. It makes it sound like you are agreeing with me."
"I love you, Hardin," she says as she traces my bottom lip with her thumb before I pull her into a kiss.
"You have no idea how good it feels to tell you I love you. I never knew love could feel like this."
"What do you mean?" Tessa asks with a confused look.
"I've never loved anyone before."
"Never?" she asks with a small frown.
"Never."
"Hardin..." she says as she rubs her thumb back and forth over my cheek.
"It's true. I've never felt like I do with you with anyone else," I say and then press my forehead to hers.
I don't want to ruin our moment, but I can't help but ask, "Have you loved anyone else before? Did you love Zed?" I hope the answer is no. I need her to be only mine.
"Well..." she pauses. That means she did love him, doesn't it? "I admit I did tell him I loved him..." she begins. I shouldn't have asked her that. I ruined this moment between us because now I feel nauseous. "But I realize now, I never really meant it. I've never felt what we have with anyone else, either." I'm so relieved to hear her say those words.
"I guess that means you're only mine." I smile and pull her into a passionate kiss. I pull away to say, "I can't wait to show you how much I love you. You know, when you're ready."
"Neither can I," she says quietly and gives me a quick kiss.
"Tell me again," I beg.
Tessa giggles before saying, "I love you. Only you."
"You have no idea how much self control it takes to stop myself from making you completely mine, right here and right now," I say as I grab on to her hip and pull her toward the bulge in my boxers.
"Hardin! Stop!" she roars with laughter. She must suddenly become aware she's naked underneath the sheets. "I need to put my panties back on," she whispers while blushing.
"You don't have to." I wink.
"I would like to actually finish dinner tonight. I'm starving."
"I guess I shouldn't have had dessert first then."
"Hardin!" she shrieks as she covers her face with the blanket.
"Don't hide from me. It was the best dessert I've ever had." I smirk.
"Would you stop?!" she screams and I start to laugh. This girl is something else. She goes from doing those dirty things with me to being shy and embarrassed. I love her.
"Fine! Get dressed and we'll go eat." I decide not to torture her any longer.
"Okay. Turn around."
"What? Why?"
"I want privacy while I get dressed."
"Privacy? Really, Tessa? After what we just did?"
"Yes! Now, turn around."
"You're no fun," I say as I roll over. While she's getting dressed I only take a small peek at her, but it's enough to get me hard again.
"Okay, let's go eat."
"Uh, I need a minute... I'll meet you out there."
"Um, okay," Tessa says, confused, but leaves the room.
There's no way I'm going to get through being around Tessa if I can't control myself. This girl is so fucking hot, she's in a league of her own.
I wait a few minutes for things to calm down, grab a clean shirt, then go to the living room to retrieve my pants, remembering the fun we just had on that couch and smiling to myself.
"Ready to eat?" Tessa asks, pulling me from my perverted thoughts.
"Yeah, but I need to ask... do I get two desserts tonight?" I wink and pull her into me as I gently squeeze her ass.
"Hardin! Can we please get through dinner first?" she laughs.
