Angol
However pure Jason Alvarez's intentions were when he invited Mara Von Strom to sleep on his couch after game night, he's happy to follow her lead when her clothes start coming off. But he knows her too well-she's never done this before, confirmed. No matter how much or how long he's wanted her, a tipsy, unexpected roll in the hay isn't going to happen. Not with Mara. Not until it means something.
Mara is tired of hearing women younger than her talk about this universal life experience that she's never experienced and the only man she has ever really wanted to experience it with is Jason. And now he's back from six years in the military and her patience is gone. But she can live with Jason's brand of waiting, which involves his hands and lips on her body every chance he can get. She just can't understand why he won't take things further, why he has a condition before he gives her what he knows she wants. Especially when she knows how much he wants it too.
Their friends are suspicious, their families don't know, and Mara is jaded enough to think that she doesn't know what she wants with Jason. But Jason knows how good they could be together and he's willing to wait for her to see it too.
