Lizzie had been curious about sex. She’d been ready for some time before Nick came along. But nerds like her never hung out with the cool guys, the ones who knew how to do it. The only guys who paid her any attention were the science nerds. And they knew squat about sex. Just say the word and watch them turn bright red.

But Nick. God, Nick was sex on legs. The first time he showed up at her door, all embarrassed that he needed a tutor, and pissed off about missing video game time, she’d been speechless.

He was gorgeous. Tall, broad-shouldered, so masculine, she could smell it. His presence turned her on. She could hardly string words together. After ushering him into the kitchen, he downed a carton of chocolate milk. Struggling to focus and stop staring at his chest, she set to teaching him how to diagram a sentence.

Hardest thing she’d ever done, keeping her attention on English when all she wanted to do was kiss and touch him. As he caught on to the work, something sparked between them. She remembered what he’d said.

“I thought smart girls were ugly. Nasty. But you’re kinda cute.”

She had blushed and lowered her eyes. That’s when he’d kissed her, and the rest is history. They’d been together ever since.
