Free The Stone Sisters: Lyssa (The Stones Sisters Book 1) by Bekah Clark

cute how she lit up as she expounded on the virtue of her favorite character.   Getting her talking was fun and enlightening.   But, he was also trying to keep her talking so she wouldn’t notice the signs on the highway.
     
    They pulled into the pizza place he’d eaten at the last time he was in the area just a little after noon.   Lyssa leaned forward and looked at the place.   She blinked a few times and then glanced at him curiously.   Opening her door, she got out of the car and he quickly followed.
     
    “You,” she looked as if she was trying not to laugh, “brought me to Loudon, New Hampshire for pizza?   It must be amazing pizza.”
     
    Kyle laughed and smoothly took her hand.   She glanced up at him with a blush.   However, she didn’t pull away and he was grateful to have made some progress with her.   She looked amazingly sexy and he wanted to hold her close, but he didn’t dare.   Small steps, those were what was going to win her.   One date at a time.
     
    “I didn’t bring you here for the pizza.   This is just the lunch part of our date.   After we eat, we head to the real part of the date.”
     
    “Which is?”
     
    With a grin, he opened the door, “A secret.”
     
    Her lips twisted into a frown and he took her hand again as they found themselves a seat.   He grabbed a few of the menus from the counter and set one in front of her.   She arched a brow at him.
     
    “You pick whatever you want to eat and drink.   I’ll just get the same.”
     
    She barely glanced at it, “Pizza with sausage, hamburger and pepperoni.   Also an orange soda.”
     
    He paused, a little shocked.   The last date he had been on the girl had ordered a salad with the dressing on the side and a diet soda.   He smiled.   Once again, Lyssa was not like any other girl he had dated.
     
    “Not worried about what I’ll think of your food choices?”
     
    “No.   Should I?”
     
    “No.   It’s just that I’ve never met a girl so unafraid to just eat in front of a guy.”
     
    “Well, I don’t usually date.   And, I like to eat what I like to eat.   I’m not going to pretend about who I am to impress you.”
     
    Kyle grinned at her, “Sausage, hamburger and pepperoni pizza it is.”
     
    “You know, I can pick up the check.   I’m sure you planned on me eating light if that’s how other girls eat.”
     
    “My parents may not be as well off as yours, but I have a pretty good allowance.   Plus I work a part-time job for a little extra.”
     
    “Really, what do you do?”
     
    “Hold on.”   Kyle walked over to the counter, ordered the pizza and grabbed a coke and an orange soda, as well as a bunch of napkins.   Then he slid into the booth, her side.   This caused Lyssa to blush brightly.
     
    “Um, there’s another side to the booth.”
     
    “Yeah, but that’s just too far away from you.”
     
    Now she looked like all cute and cherry red.   For a moment, he just stared at her.   The delicate turn of her nose, the light of her eyes and the sweet smile, which would flutter on her lips, mostly when she thought no one noticed.   All of these things drew him in just as surely as her intelligence and the strength that seemed to be deep within her.   He wanted to know everything about her.   He didn’t think he’d get enough.   Reminding himself that this was a first date and it was lust at first sight, not love, he gently grabbed a loose strand of hair and tucked it behind her ear.   She frowned and grabbed it, as if angry that her hair did not strictly obey her.
     
    She cleared her throat, “You were going to tell me about your job?”
     
    “Oh yeah, it’s no big deal I just work at a gas station.”
     
    She sipped her orange soda and then nervously started to strip away the label.   He leaned forward and gently inhaled.   Lyssa started and pulled back just a bit.
     
    “Um, what?”
     
    “You smell really nice.   What are you wearing?”
     
    “Just
