Chapter 1 [ Sunday 2PM coffee date ! Ashworth boy - lawyer + wants babies . DON'T bail this time ! ] ]] Mom's blind date lecture interrupted my fingers exploring Dex Brennan's ridiculous abs . ] This twenty - two - year - old college athlete just smirked . " Babe , aren't you getting a little old for this shit ? Time to find someone who actually wants damaged goods . " Hold up - WHAT ? ] " You're telling me to go on dates ? " ] " Two years of the same shit gets pretty stale . " [] My face must've looked like I'd been slapped . ] Dex actually had the balls to laugh . " Babe , please tell me you didn't think I'd waste my prime years on some desperate older chick ? I mean , even if I lost my mind , mommy and daddy would CUT ME OFF for bringing home grandma . " [ ] Something ice - cold settled in my chest . [ ] Two years , Two FUCKING years I'd wasted on this worthless little parasite . [ ] Well , congratulations , baby boy - you just set me free . And that coffee date ? Just became my ticket to the PERFECT revenge . [ ] -0 My whole body's aching as I'm curled up against Dex , tracing patterns on his perfect chest . [ ] " Honey , you're not getting any younger ! I told Mrs. Ashworth you'd meet her son tomorrow - don't even think about bailing . " Mom drops that bomb and hangs up . I wasn't planning on going . But Dex goes , " Babe , you're almost thirty . Might wanna take a shot ?" [ ] I'm staring at him now . This guy looks like he walked off a billboard - sharp jaw , crazy good body , the whole package . ] We met at some dive bar two years back . He " lost " truth or dare and came over with those puppy eyes . " Hey gorgeous , can I kiss you ? " [ ] Twenty years old then . Sophomore at State , playing linebacker . [ ] Young , hot , and absolutely lethal . I was drowning my sorrows after this brutal long distance breakup . Didn't think twice . [ ] Should've been a one - right thing , right ? [ ] But when I'm ready to bail , he grabs my wrist . " I wanna sleep with you . " [ ] Must've been the tequila talking , but I brought him home [ ] Two years later ? Still here . ] He's finishing college . I just hit twenty eight [ ] 00 Chapter 1 " Hold up - you actually want me going on this blind date ? " ] Dex nods , those blue eyes all innocent . " We've been hooking up for two years . It's getting kinda stale . " [ ] My blood ran cold . [ ] When this started , I never thought about forever either . [ ] But Dex was obsessed . Like a golden retriever that wouldn't leave me alone . [ ] Calling every five seconds . Different positions every night . [ ] All that young energy ? Spent every bit on me . [ ] Sometimes I'd ask , " You ever think about what comes next ? " ] And he'd go , " Yeah , all the time . It's you and me forever , babe . " I bought it . Hook , line , and sinker . [ But I forgot he was twenty . Still playing games . ] Still young enough to walk away without giving a damn . ] Seeing my silence , Dex laughs again . " Sweetheart , please tell me you didn't think I'd waste my prime on you ? Even if I wanted to , my folks would literally disown me . ' " Plus you're pushing thirty . Wait much longer and nobody's gonna want you . But me ? I got years to mess around . " ]] " Till when exactly ? " " Don't wait up for me , babe . " His smile turned nasty . " Boys will be boys , right ? " ] Something just clicked . ] What the hell was I doing waiting for some kid to grow up ? God , I'm such an idiot . ] ] " Fine . Going on that date tomorrow . Better have your shit packed when I get back .
