Free Letters of Love (Lessons in Love) by Clarissa Carlyle Page A

making his eyes seem dark and intense and his cheeks chiseled to perfection. Reaching up, Alex ran her hand through his dark curls.
    “You don’t sound like a tool .” She smiled seductively at him. “Besides, I’ve already fallen for you.”
    Oscar broke the distance between them in a heartbeat , and they began kissing passionately. Alex, beneath him on the blanket, murmured in pleasure as their tongues danced together in their mouths.
    Alex felt her heart compelling her to take things further, unable to restrain her desire for Oscar. She reached up and navigated her way to the zipper of his jeans and then gently, carefully began to undo them.
    Understanding the gesture, Oscar kissed her even more passionately, leaning back briefly to take off his T-shirt. Alex followed suit and hurriedly cast aside her own T-shirt as Oscar skillfully undid her bra and threw it aside. His warm hands cupped her breasts, and he groaned in delight.
    Within a few more moments they were completely naked together, though Oscar wrapped the blanket around them, cocooning them together in their own nest. At the point of no return, Oscar paused, looking deep into Alex’s eyes.
    “You’re so beautiful,” he told her sincerely.
    “I love you,” she admitted simply, certain of the feelings she felt for him, the feelings they were now expressing physically.
    And there, beneath the stars, they made love for the first time, and it was the most erotic moment of both of their lives.

    “So how are things with lover boy?” Ashley asked teasingly as Alex entered their bedroom, freshly showered with her hair bunched up in a towel.
    “Good,” Alex answered but couldn’t stop herself from blushing.
    “Oh my God, you guys totally did it last night!” Ashley declared, grinning widely. “I guess I can therefore forgive you for missing the Primadonna party.”
    “How was the party?”
    “Don’t you dare change the subject!” Ashley warned. “I want details!”
    “There are no details .” Alex shook her hair loose and began rummaging for her hair dryer.
    “Don’t hold out on me,” Ashley whined. “I live for this stuff.” Sitting cross-legged on her own bed , Ashley gave her best friend puppy-dog eyes.
    “There’s not much to tell. But , Ash, I have fallen in love with him.”
    “Oh my God, oh my god, oh my god!” Ashley bounded over and embraced her friend, squealing with excitement as she did so.
    “My little Alex is all grown up and in lurve!” she joked. “Seriously, though, I can now forgive you blowing me off all the time since this thing with Oscar is the real deal.”
    “You got his name right!”
    “Well, now you love him, I’ve got to take him seriously.” Ashley smiled fondly.
    “Have I really been overly MIA?” Alex asked, looking sadly at the carpeted floor.
    “It happens to us all when we meet a guy who stops us being able to see straight,” Ashley said understandingly.
    “But you’re my best friend. I don’t want to stop spending as much time together because I’ve met someone.”
    “Well, you’ve already overcome the initial hurdle: acceptance. You’re aware you have a friend-neglect problem, which means I don’t have to arrange an intervention.” Ashley laughed.
    “Seriously, Ash, how do I make up for being a lousy friend?”
    “You could start by coming to the party over at Delta Sig with me tonight,” Ashley suggested.
    “Delta Sig .” Alex frowned, trying to recall if she’d been to that particular fraternity house before.
    “Isn’t that over on the other side of campus?” Alex queried.
    “Yup.”
    “The house where all the brothers are on academic probation?”
    “Not all the brothers.”
    “Ash, who is he?”
    “His name is Tad, and he drives a motorcycle!” Ashley explained excitedly.
    “He sounds like trouble.”
    “Well, we’ve all got to get ourselves into some trouble sometime.” Ashley raised her eyebrows suggestively.
    “Behave!” Alex smiled.
    “You
