scared the crap out of him. He was glad she was his first French kiss, though, and he was kind of
looking forward to more from her. He still remembered the taste of pepperoni and mushroom on her
breath. He d probably remember her every time he had pepperoni and mushrooms on his pizza.
But copping kisses from her wasn t worth getting his fingers broken or his nuts cut off. He liked his
fingers and his nuts more than he liked Precious. And he knew if he didn t stay away from her, he
would probably lose them both. She was hot, the hottest eight-grader in her school. She d skipped a
grade because she was so smart. He like smart girls, especially hot smart girls like Precious. He was
a freshman in high school and a lot of older, more mature girls were already letting him know that
they would let him French kiss them if he wanted to. He d turned them down because his eyes had
been on Precious.
But with his own dad threatening to send him off to an all-boys boarding school in Europe, and
Uncle Erik promising to hurt him, Jason figured that the only way for him to remain in Granite Falls,
with his fingers attached to his hands the way God made them, and his nuts intact, was to fight the
temptation of Precious LaCrosse&
His cell phone rang this time. He glanced down at it. Precious picture the one he d taken of her
in a blue bikini at his pool before he went away to Karate camp flashed on the screen. Yeah, he
would have to delete that pic too.
His phone kept ringing until it went to voice mail. After a brief pause, it began ringing again. Jason
paused his game and picked up his phone. Hi, Precious.
Why aren t you answering my texts and my calls?
She sounded worried, sad, and he knew it was because of him, and because of her grandma dying.
He d wanted to hug her yesterday when they d gone to her house after the funeral, and then this
morning after church at Uncle Adam s restaurant. He d wanted to dance with her like they used to
before that kiss changed everything, but he was afraid to touch her. I m answering now.
Don t you like me anymore? Are you like all those other guys, when they get what they want, they
dump a girl?
What other guys? Jason s heart missed a beat and he stood up and walked to his window
overlooking the playground where his sisters and the nanny were riding on the merry-go-round. Eli
had gone mini-golfing with Grandpa. He perched on his windowsill. You been kissing other guys,
Precious?
No, you know you re the first boy I ever kissed, Jason. So are you dumping me?
Jason tightened his lips. He didn t know how to answer that. He didn t want to hurt her. I like
kissing you, but we can t do it again. We can t do anything but hold hands. That s stupid.
What do you want to do? You want sex?
No! Even he wasn t ready for that, and he was a guy.
Why, cause you don t think I m hot?
You re the hottest girl I know. He could almost feel and hear her smiling. And that s why I have
to stay away from you. I m scared of your dad.
We can kiss in secret.
We promised, Presh. My dad would ship me off to a boys school in Europe and we won t see
each other for years. Is one stolen kiss worth it?
They were quiet for a long time, then Precious said, Jase?
Yeah.
Are you gonna start kissing other girls cause you can t kiss me again?
Skye Harrison s red, juicy lips danced into Jason s mind. She was in his science class and was
always trying to get his attention. She had a reputation for letting boys feel her up something else he
couldn t do with Precious. Skye had gone as far as to rub her big jugs up against his arm a few times
in passing, and once, she d sneaked up on him and blown in his ear when he was standing at his
locker. His body had come alive and he d even felt hotter than when he d kissed Precious. And that
night he d dreamed about Skye, and woken up with a&
Jason? Are you going to kiss other girls?
Precious sounded as if she was about to cry. No, Precious. I m not gonna kiss any other girls.
You re my only girl. Jason told his first lie to Precious and he felt like a scumbag for making a
promise he knew he would break.
He d known what sex was since he was eight. He hadn t really thought about it until he started high
school last year, and now it was all he could think about. His dad was right; sex was complicated.
