Genre: YA Romance
Saving It, an all-new YA romance from Monica Murphy is available NOW!
Eden: Josh Evans and I have been best friends forever. He knows all my secrets, and I know all of his. So when he randomly asks me to help him lose his virginity, I sort of flip out. That’s a question that sends your mind to places you’ve seriously never considered before. Like, you know. Having sex. With your best friend. Except Josh doesn’t want to have sex with me—he wants me to help him find a girl. A nice girl who’s funny and smart and cute. Except he already knows a girl just like that…
Josh: Eden Sumner is my best friend. So of course she’d be the person to help me find my perfect match, so I can drop my V card before I head off to college. Except the more we search, the more I realize that maybe the right girl has been by my side all along. I don’t need Eden’s help in finding me a girl to love. I’m pretty sure I’m already in love with Eden. But now she thinks I’m only after one thing…with anyone but her.
Excerpt
Josh pulls the dressing room curtain back and
walks out, holding his arms out at his sides. He’s wearing a black button down
shirt and the dark khaki pants and um…
He looks.
So.
Hot.
“I’m totally overdressed.”
“No, you look…” I shake my head, at a loss for
words. Which is stupid. It’s just Josh.
It’s.
Just.
Josh.
“I look what? Bad?” He’s frowning, staring down at
his chest, running his fingers over the shirt buttons.
“You definitely don’t look bad.” My voice is firm.
My thoughts are going haywire. I think about the pact we made, how crazy I
thought he was for bringing it up.
But hey. Maybe there’s something to this “let’s
lose our virginity to each other” deal.
Nah. That’s crazy talk.
He lifts his head, his gaze meeting mine. “So I
look…good?”
“You look great.” Understatement. He looks hot
like fire. But I can’t tell him that. “You need a haircut.” I say this to break
the tension, because there is so much freaking tension right now. Am I the only
one who’s experiencing it? Or does he feel it, too?
“Yeah. I know I do.” He runs a hand through his
hair, messing it up so it’s a riotous mass on top of his head. My gaze lingers,
and I’m tempted to run my fingers through his thick hair and straighten it out.
Oh.
My. God. Stop thinking like this!
“Go try on something else,” I tell him, waving my
hands and shooing him away. He needs to go. Get behind that curtain and hide
for a few minutes so I can gather my thoughts. “Try on one of the flannel
shirts and the jeans.”
“Okay.” He sends me a questioning look before he
slips back into the dressing room.
I breathe out a sigh of relief, my shoulders
slumping. What just happened? I don’t like feeling this way toward Josh.
Thinking he’s hot, being attracted to him. It makes me…uncomfortable?
Well, it should
make me uncomfortable.
“Your boyfriend is cute.”
Glancing over my shoulder, I watch the sales
associate who greeted us when we first walked into the store approach. She’s
super cute with a bohemian vibe. Long wavy golden hair almost to her butt, a
black choker around her neck, she’s wearing a flower print, flowing dress that
swirls around her ankles when she walks.
“He’s not my boyfriend,” I tell her.
Her eyebrows go up. “You could’ve fooled me.”
I’m scowling. “What do you mean?”
“You two looked totally into each other.”
“Yeah.” I laugh, but it feels forced. “No. We’re
just friends.”
“Uh huh.” The knowing smile she sends my way tells
me she doesn’t believe a word I’m saying. Whatever. “Let me know if you need
any new sizes or whatever, okay?”
