THE HOOK UP
Is there an equation for the perfect hookup? Turns out it’s a lot more complicated than one plus one. . . .
Sophie: Numbers are my comfort zone, which explains why my sex life is a big fat zero. Then again, if I’m smart enough to earn a PhD, why can’t I calculate a way to get a guy into bed, just to see what all the fuss is about? With my prima donna sister, Bella, getting married in Maine, I figure her wedding is the perfect opportunity for my little experiment. And Cain Jordan seems hot enough—he’s certainly drunk enough—to show me what I’ve been missing. Judging by the body of evidence, it’s a lot. . . .
Cain: Being stuck in the same town as my lying SOB twin brother, Christian—who may or may not be the father of the son I’m not allowed to see—is a hell of a reason to drink myself silly after the lobster boat docks each day. Any port in a storm . . . But Sophie’s different. She doesn’t play around. And she’s becoming a habit I don’t want to break. Because the smartest woman I’ve ever met is also the sexiest—and the only one who makes me want to change.

Excerpt
Fuck. She was going to kill me. I
wondered how many guys had seen this view. If any. Maybe I was the first. I
didn’t deserve this kind of privilege but I sure in the hell wasn’t going to
turn it down. I studied her, head to toe, but spending a little extra time
taking in what was under her dress. She didn’t flinch.
I reached behind my head and pulled my
T-shirt off over my head. “It’s hot in here.” The house was too old and too
Maine to have air conditioning. I had a window unit in my bedroom but the living
room was just left to swelter if it got hot outside. I wasn’t sure how warm the
air really was or if it was just me, watching Sophie.
She seemed to think my words and
action were meant to be returned by her. She peeled her socks off and carefully
folded them and set them on the table next to me. If I had to see her remove an
article of clothing those little socks were the ones I cared the least about.
But it amused me. Sophie amused me on the regular. It was a strange break in my
usual life. I wondered if she knew what she was offering me, besides her
virginity.
Her body was an offer I couldn’t
refuse but she was giving me even more than that. A night that would shatter my
boredom, my pattern of drinking to oblivion. She was going to be a much-needed
distraction from my hatred, my self-destruction, my persistent defiance, and
stubborn determination to be miserable.
Sophie took another sip of her beer
and stared at me, waiting.
It
was clear she wanted me to take the lead and I welcomed that. I wanted to take
her innocence, coax it to something new. That awakening she had mentioned. I
wanted her aware of me, sure, but mostly I wanted her aware of herself. Of her
own body.
“Come here.” I crooked my finger at her.
“What do you mean?” she asked, and she looked
vulnerable in a way that touched my bitter and black heart. She licked her
lips, uncertain. Her feet fell to the floor.
“Climb on my lap facing me,” I instructed.
“One knee on either side of me. I want to kiss you.”
Her mouth opened and I knew she was
about to ask some insane question about physics or my motivation. I shook my
head. “Shh. Don’t worry. Tell me if you don’t like something. And tell me if
you do like something. Otherwise don’t think, Sophie. Just feel.” I held my
hand out to her.
She took my hand and let me pull her
off the couch. But she said, “I don’t know how to do that.”
“I’m here to help.” I did exactly nothing of
value on a daily basis. Sure, I did my job correctly and efficiently, but I
couldn’t claim to be a person who was walking around paying it forward. I was a
sour-faced dick most of the time and everyone knew it. I knew it. But if I was
going to be selfish and enjoy Sophie’s naked company, the least I could do was
make this right for her.
My little protégé could go forth and
fuck after I was done with her. Such a nice guy. The thought made me smile as
she climbed onto my lap, her dress rolling up her thighs so that her warm flesh
pressed against the denim of my jeans.
Holding her by the back of her hips I
bent over and sucked the swell of her breast in between my lips. Soft, luscious
tits.
Yeah. Such a nice fucking guy.
