Free ROMANCE: CLEAN ROMANCE: Summer Splash! (Sweet Inspirational Contemporary Romance) (New Adult Clean Fantasy Short Stories) by Michelle Woodward

glowing skin with fine features and a narrow jawline despite her weight.  She also had beautiful blue eyes that radiated joy, hope and warmth. Her blonde hair was normally tied back in a long ponytail, which cascaded in curls down her back.
    Hilda was feeling different than usual as she walked the halls of the college buildings. She felt more confident, at ease, more alive than she ever had before. She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that people were looking at her, noticing her, not in a harsh and judging sort of way, but rather in glances of acknowledgment, wonder and admiration. Finally, for the first time ever, Hilda knew with ever cell of her being that there would be a man at this college for her who could satisfy her every urge and desire. Just the thought of a hot frat guy lavishing her with attention and enjoying every curve and line of her body sent tingles under her skin and a slight smile to her face. Yeah, this new direction in college was going to be a good one; she felt it in her bones. She was determined to find Mr. Right, and she would use whatever it took to find him.  Hilda would find a man who would enjoy her, one that would be able to see the beauty that she had.  Hilda was ready for this, but she honestly didn’t know where to start.  Definitely not your average girl, she was a bit nerdy and loved animation. Above all, she loved school, learning and knowledge more than anything. She was ready for fate to step in and guide her toward her destiny.
    Hilda walked for a bit, still distracted by looking at her schedule, looking down at the printed out timetable and occasionally glancing up to be sure she was still heading in the right direction. Suddenly, she abruptly bumped into a tall, broad chested guy, who was hot as hell.  She dropped her timetable and scrambled to put herself and her belongings back together. Her face got hot as she blushed, hoping that she didn’t make a damn fool out of herself.
    “Hi there.  I’m so sorry!” she said.  She tried to hide the redness in her cheeks that was becoming increasingly obvious.  It didn’t help though, especially when she got a good look at the fine man standing before her.
    He was perfect, simply perfect.  He had black hair that went down to his shoulders, bright blue eyes, and a gorgeous frame.  He dressed like her, which was kind of in a nerdy, yet punk-rock fashion.  By simply making eye contact with her, Hilda could feel herself being swooned by this guy. She felt a building sense of excitement starting to course through her body.  She loved this rush of electric lust, and could already feel a growing sensation of arousal permeating every inch of her being.
    “Hey there.  It’s okay.  Don’t worry about it, it’s the first day,” he said with a friendly chuckle.
    Hilda felt like she was about to die from embarrassment.  She didn’t mind the friendly comment, but it still made her a bit uncomfortable, that was for sure.
    “Okay.  Sorry, I wasn’t looking.  Sometimes I do that.  I didn’t mean to be so stupid,” she said.
    “It’s fine.  Don’t worry about it.  You’re cute, so it’s okay,” he replied as he grinned and picked up one last paper off the floor that had fallen out of Hilda’s binder.
    Still blushing, Hilda looked toward the floor and then again back into his clear blue eyes, unsure of what else to say.  She was actually really shocked at how nice this guy was.  Normally, in her experience, most people would tell her to fuck off or something, but this one actually cared about helping her out. She thought this was a joke.  It had to be, people were never this nice.
    “Okay.  I’ll try not to run into people,” she replied.
    “Don’t worry about it.  I didn’t mind at all.  I’m Ryan, by the way,” he said.
    He extended his hand, and Hilda shook it.  They looked at one another, and for a moment, she thought she was going to go crazy. She wanted to run away to
