Searching for Harmony (Boston Love 1)

“How about if I just turn around?”

That bastard. I could hear the smile in his voice. “If you turn around, Preston, you’ll be looking in the mirror…at me.”

“Okay, if that’s what you want.”

Letting out a frustrated moan, I reached for the towel that was hanging up and dried off quickly. Wrapping it around my body, I pushed the shower curtain open. Preston’s smile dropped and his eyes widened as he took in the sight of me in nothing but a towel.

It was hard as hell holding back my satisfied smile. I had to admit, the way he was looking at me made me feel sexy. Trey never looked at me the way Preston was looking at me that very moment. I felt empowered.

Tilting my head, I motioned for him to get in the shower as I walked toward the bathroom door. “It’s all yours,” I said with a purr in my voice.

Pushing off the counter, Preston turned and reached into the shower, turning it back on. Before stepping in, he dropped his towel. I let out a gasp as I looked at his perfectly fit body and tight ass.

“God help me,” I whispered as I grabbed my clothes and practically ran out of the bathroom.

Taking It Slow

Preston

After stopping by Harmony’s place so she could pack a small bag, we headed out of Boston and to my parents’ house.

“So you grew up out here, huh?” Harmony said as a few curls whipped around her face. She had insisted we drive with the windows down. It was an unusually warm day for November in New England. Sixty-five degrees and Harmony acted like it was a heat wave.

Sticking her hand out the window, she took everything in. Harmony gave me a sweet smile.

“Yes, I did.”

“Did you like growing up in a small town?”

Letting out a laugh, I nodded. “Yeah. There wasn’t a whole lot to do so we got in trouble a lot.”

Smiling, she kept her eyes on me as she asked, “What kind of trouble?”

Taking a quick peek at her, I shook my head. “Oh no. You’ll pump me for information, then my parents will pump you for any dirt that you have on me. This is a no-win situation for me.”

Laughing, Harmony dropped her head back against the headrest of the car. “I promise not to divulge any stories that you tell me.”

Reaching my hand over to her, I held out my pinky. “Pinky swear?”

Giggling, Harmony wrapped her pinky around mine. Shit. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the way her touch makes my stomach drop. I’ve never had that happen with any girl I’ve ever dated.

“I pinky swear.”

Taking in a deep breath, I slowly blew it out. “Well, once we cut the tail off of a skunk and threw it up under the seats of the school bus.”

“Gross! That had to have smelled terrible.”

Smiling, I

nodded. “Yep. It did. It was my brother Weston’s idea. We all got kicked off the bus for the rest of the year. My mother was pissed because she had to take us to school and pick us up after.”

Shaking her head, Harmony laughed. “Tell me another one.”

I loved seeing Harmony smile. She seemed so relaxed and carefree. Like an almost twenty-one-year-old should act. Her eyes were beginning to get the light back in them and I was surprised by how much I wanted to make that happen.

“Let’s see. There was the time I talked my brother Finn into scaling down the wall of an old well.”
