Saving You (Love Wanted in Texas #2)(16)

Colt smiled weakly and nodded his head. “Why don’t you just tell her, Luke?”

My heart instantly hurt. “Because she’s moved on.”

Colt looked back out to Lauren. “Why do they have to fuck with our heads and hearts so much?”

I closed my eyes and thought back to me kissing Libby in the rain. Opening my eyes I said, “They probably think the same thing about us.”

ZACH WALKED UP and took me in his arms. “I’m really going to miss you, Lib.”

I smiled and reached up to kiss him. “I’ll miss you too, Zach.” I stepped back and turned to shut my suitcase. I would be leaving soon to meet Alex and Grace in Austin. Then we were driving to the coast for spring break. The thought of being with Luke all week raced through my mind. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. I hadn’t seen much of Luke at all. Will told me Luke spent most of his time working out or studying. According to Abigail, he spent much of his time fucking her. Any chance she had to talk to me, she was sure to tell me about their hook ups.

I hate her.

I jumped when Zach placed his hands on my shoulders. “Let me relax you, Libby.” His hand slowly moved down my arm to my stomach. “Baby, you seem so tense.”

My stomach clenched at the idea of Zach relaxing me. We had yet to have sex and Zach knew I was a virgin. I appreciated the fact that he was not pushing me. He did, however, manage to give me amazing orgasms with his skillful fingers. I closed my eyes and let out a moan. Zach slipped his hand around and into my panties. “Libby, let me make you come.”

I dropped my head back against him and lifted my leg. “Yes,” I whispered as I let Zach push all thoughts of Luke from my mind.

Zach pulled me closer to him, feeling his hardness press against my body caused me to moan.

“You’re so wet. Fuck you’re so wet.” Zach hissed as his fingers began to move in and out faster. I felt my body begin to quiver. Closing my eyes, I let it go. My orgasm ripped through my body as I felt my insides pulsing against Zach’s fingers. He moved his lips to my ear and whispered, “I can’t wait to make you mine.”

My eyes sprung open and tears began to well up. If only I wanted to be Zach’s. If only my heart didn’t belong to Luke.

SPRING BREAK IN Port Aransas was beyond crazy. My parents, Alex’s parents, and Grace’s parents had beach houses here. All right next to each other. We had been coming to Port A for as long as I could remember.

Grace had her face buried in her phone as we walked along the beach. “So, what should we do tonight?” I asked Grace.

She shrugged her shoulders as she continued to look at her phone. “I don’t know. Maybe we could …”

Before I could warn Grace to watch out, she ran smack into a guy who had been standing there talking to his friends. Grace stumbled backward, but he grabbed hold of her before she lost her balance.

The smile that spread across his face instantly caused me to smile and Grace to let out a moan she surely didn’t mean to let escape her lips.

“Grace?”

Grace’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “Noah?”

Wait. What? They know each other?

Noah’s smile turned to a grin. “At least this time I didn’t knock you down.” Grace giggled. I snapped my head and looked at her. Grace never giggled.

“I can’t believe I ran into you again,” Grace said as she bit down on her lower lip. Holy hell. Grace was into this guy in a big way. I cleared my throat and they both somehow managed to pull their eyes off each other and over to me.

Smiling, I held out my hand. “Libby Hayes, and you are?”

Noah took my hand and gently shook it. “I’m so sorry, Libby. Um, Noah, this is one of my best friends, Libby. Libby this is Noah. Ah …”

Grace looked back at Noah and then back to me. “We kind of met a couple months ago and I never did get your last name.”

Noah laughed and shook his head as he said, “My last name is Bennet. Grace and I had another run in, except last time I knocked her to the ground. You were with, Alex, that was her name right?”

Grace nodded her head. “Yep. Alex.” Turning to me she said, “It was when Alex and I went to A&M right after Thanksgiving when all that stuff with Will and Alex was going on.”

I smiled as I looked back toward Noah. “So are you here for a few days?” Noah asked.

“Um, yeah. Staying with our folks, we, um, we have a house down here,” Grace said as she fumbled over her own words.

I smiled as I took it in. I’d never seen Grace not one-hundred percent in control. She was totally taken with Noah.

“What about you?” Grace asked, looking over Noah’s shoulder at the four other guys standing there watching the whole scene play out.

Noah’s smile turned somewhat wicked. As if an idea came to mind. “I’m staying at my folks place, but Mom and Dad stayed behind for this trip. It’s just me, my brother and his two friends.”

“Really?” Grace said with a bit of seduction to her voice. I slowly looked at Grace, thinking back to her saying she just wanted to hook-up with someone this week.

I looked between the two of them as they both just stared at each other. I cleared my throat before talking. “Grace, we’re gonna be late for lunch.”

Grace was pulled from her trance as she looked at me. “Oh yeah, right.” Looking back at Noah she smiled. “It was nice running into you again.”

They both chuckled and we began to walk off, but not before Noah grabbed Grace’s wrist. “Grace, may I give you my number? Maybe we can meet up later or something.”

Biting down hard on her lip, Grace nodded her head. “I’ll text you it, what’s your number?”

I looked away smiling, knowing Grace wanted to have Noah’s number as well.

“512-555-2424,” Noah said as he watched Grace type it in her phone. A few seconds later, Noah’s phone beeped. He pulled it out of his pocket and smiled when he saw Grace’s text.

“Now you have my number. I’ll um, talk to you later then?” Grace asked as she began taking a few steps backward.

Noah nodded his head and winked at her. “Most definitely.”

Turning around, Grace and I began walking back to the houses. “Oh my gosh, Grace Johnson. Who is he and why have I never heard about this Noah?”

Grace chuckled and brushed me off with her hand. “Honestly, I never thought I would lay eyes on him again. I ran into him as I was running after Alex, he knocked me down, helped me up and we exchanged names. That was it.”
