Oh my God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD.

Kendall Jackson could kiss.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

Jessica was still reeling from the kiss that Kendall had just laid on her. Two kisses really. She shouldn't be surprised that he kissed her. Or that he was really, really good at it.

He must have kissed a hundred girls. No- a thousand.

What surprised her was what she felt behind it. This wasn’t an ordinary kiss. He was kissing her like he cared.

And she was someone who knew the difference.

Still, her heart was racing and her body felt strange-like she was floating.

Floating on what? Get a grip Jessalina!

And still she cringed. His softly spoken words were like a cold bucket of water though. He wanted to- crap. He was expecting to-

He wanted to go to bed with her. Worse- he expected to. Of course he did. What woman in her right mind would turn down a night of hot sex with Kendall Jackson? Never mind the fact that he was spoiling her rotten.

She closed her eyes. She did not want to go back to the hotel and screw him.

That wasn't exactly true. Part of her wanted to do exactly that. But she was afraid to give in to that.

It was dangerous. It was impulsive. It was way too fast. He had her tied up in knots as it was.

If she slept with him, she’d spend the rest of her life waiting for him to call. For him to remember her. For him to love her.

She knew that love was a rarity, if it even existed. Her drunk mother and her millions of terrible boyfriends had taught her that.

She opened her eyes.

Kendall was staring at her mouth again. Maybe she should give in. Maybe if she could just delay a little while, she'd feel more comfortable with the idea. She desperately wanted to be the girl that just said 'sure' and slept with the man of her dreams.

Why the hell not right?

She wasn't the sort to play hard to get exactly. Not that she’d had sex before, but she’d played around. Then again, she wasn't the sort to go to bed with someone she'd just met either.

She decided to play it safe and prevaricate. She gave him a clueless look.

"Where do you want to go?"

He smiled patiently. As if he were humoring her.

"Where ever you want."

She hid her smile. He was being too nice. He was making it wayyyy too easy for her.

Mistake number one, playah!

"Maybe we could just walk a little bit?"

He opened his mouth. She was sure he was going to argue but he just licked his lips and nodded.

"Okay. Whatever you want to do, Jess.”

He took her hand again. She let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't going to force the issue.

They headed back through the club, waving to the guys. On the street it was still hopping but no one seemed to notice them as they snuck out past the crowd. It must be close to 3 AM.

"So… it's your first time in Vegas. Should we gamble?"

She shook her head.

"I don't have any money with me."

"That's okay, I do."

"Alright. I can watch if that's what you want to do I guess... Oh look!"

"What?"

He turned to look at what she was pointing at. There were rides on top of a really tall building up ahead.

Rides! Actual rides!

She’d spent her childhood dreaming of amusement parks. She’d gone exactly once, on a birthday party for a classmate. She’d had to steal a few bucks from her mom’s purse every day for a month to be able to afford the trip.

She felt slightly guilty, but since she’d also been bringing cans to the grocery store to be able to afford the school lunches, she didn’t feel that bad.

It was the same thing she started doing when her mother went through one of those ‘not bringing any food home for a whole month’ phases. She hated stealing. And she hated collecting cans. But she hadn’t had a choice, other than this one time it had been for something actually fun.

And it had been worth it.

It was the single best day of her entire childhood. Bar none.

"The roller coaster?"

"Is that what it is? That's SO COOL!"

She was trying not to jump up and down. He was smiling at her like she was kind of crazy but she didn't care.

"Do you want to go?"

"Is it still open?"

He shrugged.

"Probably not. But let me see what I can do."

And in that moment, she fell a little bit in love with Kendall Jackson.
