was　still　too　hot　to　eat。　？But　you　do。？

Jenny　loved　the　idea　that　she　was　using　Nate；　and　the　fact　that　hewanted　her　to　use　him　gave　her

even　more　of　a　thrill。　He　stroked　her　curly　brown　hair　and　she　tilted　her　chin　up　and　gazed　into　his

stunning　green　eyes。　？Remember　when　I　fell　so　in　love　with　you？？

Nate　smiled　again　and　kissed　her　again。　He　did　that　for　a　while；　smiling　and　kissing；　smiling　and

kissing；　like　he　was　lapping　up　a　delicious　ice　cream　cone。

？You？ve　got　skin　like　？　like　？petals　；？　Nate　remarked　as　the　E　began　to　take　effect。　He　rubbed　the

tip　of　his　nose　against　her　temple。　？Grr。？

Jenny　giggled。　It　felt　pletely　amazing　to　be　this　close　and　fortable　with　Nate　again。　He

was　absurdly　handsome；　and　being　kissed　by　him　felt　really；　really；really　good。　But　Nate　was

beginning　to　trip；　and　she　didn？t　want　to　lose　her　virginity　to　a　boy　who　thought　he　was　a

Labrador　puppy。　She　wouldn？t。

Well；　at　least　she　has　that　much　integrity。

Still；　this　was　her　last　crazy　night　out　before　she　flew　to　Prague　for　the　summer。　She　wasn？t　quite

ready　for　it　to　end。

Nate　rubbed　his　chin　against　her　carefully　plucked　dark　brown　eyebrows；　and　she　lifted　her　chin

to　catch　him　in　another　long；　hungry　kiss。　Her　brother　was　always　moaning　about　how　much　his

life　sucked。　But　she　couldn？t　have　disagreed　more。　It　wasn？t　like　she？d　planned　for　life　to　be　this

thrilling。　It　just　was；　it　really　was。

Nothing　like　a　little　mystery

？Marcus；　darling？？　Blair　called　tentatively　through　the　molded　white　wooden　door　to　Marcus？s

suite。　She？d　never　actually　called　him　？darling？　out　loud　before；　but　it　was　being　her　favorite

endearment。　？Are　you　in　there？？

She　considered　stripping　down　to　only　her　Bvlgari　pearls　right　there　in　the　hallway；　but　the　Yale

Club　was　booked　solid；　and　what　if　some　bow…tie…wearing　Yale　professor　saw　her　naked　tonight

and　then　she　wound　up　having　him　in　Intro　to　Law　or　another　one　of　her　freshman　classes　next

year？

Well；　it　would　certainly　make　the　class　more　interesting。

？Marcus？？　Blair　pressed　her　ear　against　the　door；　listening　for　him。　Nothing。　She　tried　the　knob。

The　door　was　unlocked。　She　pushed　it　open　a　few　inches　and　stuck　her　head　inside。　？Marcus？？

Still　nothing。　She　pushed　the　door　open　all　the　way。

The　drawers　of　the　suite？s　antique　oak　armoire　had　been　pulled　open　and　a　damp　towel　lay

strewn　on　the　bed。　The　air　was　heavy　with　steam　and　the　scent　of　Marcus？s　Carolina　Herrera　for

Men　cologne。　The　closet　door　stood　open。　The　cedar　suit　hangers　were　all　bare。　Marcus　was　gone。

Whoops。

Blair　sat　down　heavily　on　the　bed；　feeling　very　much　like　the　jilted　but　beautiful　heroine　in　one

of　the　epic　films　in　her　head　that　she？d　temporarily　stopped　watching。　She？d　forgone　her
