Free Latched (Coronado Series Book 1) by Lea Hart

rethink using you for your body. Although it would be a shame because you’re the most attractive man that I’ve ever seen. I thought you would like my idea, but apparently I was wrong.” She patted his thigh and sighed, “I guess we will just be friends.” She pointed her finger at him, “No more kissing though, just friends. I can find someone else to break me out of my rut,” and with that she returned to her menu and tried to scoot away.
    “Of all of the crazy ass shit I’ve heard, that is the craziest. I have taken crap from my friends for the last four days. Don’t go after Birdie, she is a relationship girl, she doesn’t sleep around, don’t go after her unless you mean it. The whole time you were plotting to use me for my body and then you were going to drop me. No Birdie, you can’t use me. If you want to have sex with me, then you have to stick around and see what we have. I’m not some slump buster that you can throw away. By the way, I don’t get snippy” and he moved closer to her.
    She started to scoot away, “I didn’t know you were going to take this so personally. I thought you would like it. Don’t you guys go to that bar and pick up girls for sex? Why can’t I?” She started to get mad, “I want to have the opportunity to use a man for sex and then move on. That is what you always do.” Her voice started to rise, “Why do I always have to make good choices? I’ve been appropriate my whole life! I am an accountant after all.” She realized she might be getting loud and lowered her voice, “You know what it got me? It got me a fiancé who cheated on me with his assistant. What’s even sadder is that we had boring sex. I was going to settle for boring sex for the rest of my life.” She put her menu back on the table, “So excuse me if I wanted some amazing sex. I will find someone else.”
    Mark was going to lose his mind and his temper, because there was no way that Birdie was ever going to be with anyone else but him. He would kill any man who got close to her. He didn’t care if it made sense - that’s the way it was. “How do you know we would be amazing?”
    “Mark, if you are not either of those things and about ten more that I can’t even think of, then that’s a darn shame. Because with a body like yours, you should be a sex god with a devoted following. All of that testosterone you have should be used for good and not evil.”
    Mark laughed so loud that several patrons turned around and looked at him. “Birdie girl, it’s never going to be dull with you. You think I am a sex god?”
    “I’m really, really hoping you are. Because if you are not, I may just give up.”
    He kissed her hard, he wasn’t going to give her an escape. “We can have a lot of sex together, but we are going to date and see what we have. No dropping….. no using….. just old fashioned romance.”  
    She leaned in and kissed him back, “Let’s just see how it goes.” They fell into each other again and the world fell away for a moment.  
    The waitress came up, stood there and finally said loudly, “Can I get you something to drink?” She broke the spell and they ordered drinks.
    “Are there any other plans you have for me that I should know about? Maybe you could tell me before we order.”
    “I don’t think so, it was just the sex thing. But maybe I should tell you that I’ve not had sex for a year.” She looked down at her hands, “I might be out of practice and if I’m being totally honest, my ex Justin told me I wasn’t very good. This could be a total bust for you, kind of like a service project. I don’t want to oversell myself and then you would be disappointed.”
    “Your ex was a fucking idiot and I’m going to thank him every day for his stupidity. We’re going to be amazing together. You have a body built for sex. God, your ass alone is enough to inspire a lot of dreams.”
    “I hope you’re right. But I can’t have sex with you tonight because sleeping
