Page 60 of You Kissed Me First

I shake my head, glaring at Katie, but I know I’m going to do whatever I can to win this for her. She wants that stupid piece of junk trophy? She’s going to get it.

I watch as the first man goes. He looks embarrassed and awkward. I don’t blame him.

When the second man, who happens to be part of the team Katie has been glaring at, goes, he gives it a bit more, looking like he is actually trying.

Then it’s my turn.

The music is thumping as I squat with my hands on my knees, shaking my ass. I take it one step further though. Not only do I shake my ass, but then I drop to the floor, doing my best version of a stripper, grinding on the ground as I shake my ass.

It’s ridiculous.

I feel like a complete idiot.

Yet, when I jump back up once the song stops and look to Katie, the joy on her face makes it all worth it.

The last two men go and then it’s time for judging.

I don’t expect too much, but when they get to my name, the entire place goes wild.

Katie is standing, clapping and hooting for me.

In the end, I win. The announcer gives me my trophy, which I walk straight to my girl.

“For you, my liege,” I say, holding out the trophy.

She smiles, bypassing the trophy to jump into my arms. “You were amazing. Thank you so much. That meant the world to me.”

Then she presses her lips to mine. I don’t hesitate, kissing her back as fiercely as she is kissing me.

The announcer starts talking again, introducing the next round, so I reluctantly pull back.

“Want to try for a second one? I’m not shaking my ass again though.”

She smiles. “That’s okay. If it comes down to it, we can let it go. We already have one trophy. No need to get greedy.”

I help her settle back into her seat before taking the chair next to her once again.

This time, the smile never leaves my face.

This girl has done a number on me.

Never would I have ever gotten up there and done something like that before her.

Yet when I’m with her, I find myself being willing to do just about anything to make her smile. Even if it’s something I know I’ll hate.

I’m truly and utterly fucked.

DAY FIVE: SEA DAY

“You haveto have dinner with us tonight. You don’t have an option,” Nessa says as soon as I answer the room’s phone.

We have been relaxing in the room since we finished trivia.

Watching Dominic dance like that and knowing he was doing it so that I would get the trophy really did something to me.

Not only was I hot and bothered from watching the way he moved his body, but my heart was warm and full. He did that for me.
