Sneak Peak of Smitten:

"You don't need to babysit me," I said laughing. "I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself, regardless of what Hunter thinks."

"That may be," Russ replied, leaning back onto his elbows as he stared at me. "But I'm not taking any chances. Hunter would slit my throat if something happened to you."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "He loves you too much to do anything like that. Especially after he saved your life once already. He’d never do anything to hurt you—you know that.”

He shrugged. "Would you risk his full wrath to find out if that's true?"

I laughed heartily. "Point taken."

"Did you get your math homework done?"

"I did. Are you ready for the big test?" I went to the bed to get my bag and books sitting there.

"No, but then again, I doubt I ever will be. I'll walk with you to class, though—might as well get the torture over with.” He gave a hefty sigh of defeat.

I chuckled again. "I'm sure it won’t be that bad.”

“I beg to differ,” he replied. “Not all of us are mathematical geniuses like you. The rest of us humble folk have to be content to wallow in the shadows of people like you, Oh Great One.”

I couldn’t help my snort. “Whatever! You’re so full of crap! You’re amazing and you know it!”

He gave me a warm stare. “You know, I wish we would’ve known each other better in high school. You’re a pretty awesome chick. I totally see why Hunter digs you so much.” He opened the door, and I followed him out.

“Yeah, it’s too bad everyone is so worried about cliques and social status.”

“That wasn’t why I didn’t talk to you.”

“Really?” I asked, surprised. “Why then?”

“You were too intimidating.”

I laughed. “Excuse me? How?”

“You were this gorgeous, smart, girl. What girl like you would pay attention to a guy like me?”

I stared at him, my jaw hanging open. “You’re not serious, are you? Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? You’re a great looking guy, with a spectacular personality. Any girl would be lucky to have you!”

“And that right there is precisely why I couldn’t talk to you. You use words like spectacular. That’s intimidating to us hard-to-educate people. Big words are hard to comprehend.”

I laughed. “Comprehend is almost as big as spectacular. There’s only one letter difference.”

He shook his head. “You’re only proving my point more. Who knows that kind of stuff? Besides, one letter makes a world of difference!”

“You’re sure about that?” I couldn’t help laughing when Russ was around. He always brought a smile to my face.

“Positive.”

“How do you figure?”

He paused and put his hands on his hips staring me down. “You don’t need a reason. It is because I say it is. That’s all that matters.”

I bit my lip, unable to hide my smile.

“What?” he asked.

“You just sounded like my parents.”

He hung his head in defeat and gave a sigh. “You’ve completely deflated my ego.”

“Well it’s a good thing I happen to enjoy spending time with the ego-less then, isn’t it?” I linked my arm through his and started dragging him toward the lobby door. “Come on. We’re going to be late for class.”
