Chapter TWENTY-FOUR-AVERY

Experience didn’t make someone a good lover.

That was something I hadn’t realized until I met Dante.

When I was younger and wild, I thought I needed to be with an experienced man to show me how to make love.

But all Nicky Crowden had to offer me was a rather awkward and short experience. We’d actually only had sex maybe twice, if you could call it that, and neither time had been anything to talk about. And that was something I’d only ever done in the safety of Girl Club.

Dante was right, I wouldn’t want to talk about women from his past either, sex or not.

I’d been confused, and maybe a little upset, about his keeping things from me where Rosie was concerned. But now that we talked, I understood a little better.

And now that he was kissing me and touching me like his life depended on it, I knew there would never be another man for me as long as I lived.

Dante had simply wrecked me for anything else.
