    “We don’t have to do this, Fenton. I can just wait until I have to get licensed and have Liam show more or something.”
    “No you won’t. I promised I would teach you and I will. And if you want to learn the proper way to drive a dozer, you are not going to be taught by anyone but me.”
    “Ok,” I say simply. I can’t argue with him because…well…I want him to show me. I already know he is an amazing teacher. And he can drive that dozer like no one’s business. I like listening to him talk about something he is so passionate about. It also helps that I kind of love seeing him in it. It maxes out his gorgeousness level.

                   “So, tell me what you know about the dozer.”
                  “Not much. I know it is mostly used to move the ground, or clear areas for building.”
                  “Ok, that is a good start. Tell me what you know about driving it.” Her eyes move to the machine as if it is going to answer for her. I see embarrassment mar her face.
                  “Its ok, Piper. I am going to teach you, I just wanted to know if there was somewhere we could start that you may know. But we can just start at the beginning. I am just going to teach you the basics. That way if you need to just move it out of the way, you can. If I decide you need to learn to use the bucket, we will work on that later.” She is quiet but she is listening. I need to get this torture going so it can be over.
                  “You ready?”
                  She nods without hesitation. Her eagerness has yet to disappoint me.
                  We climb in the dozer and as we are both standing there, I am sure we are both thinking the same thing. There is definitely not enough room for both of us; this should be interesting.
                  “I will sit and show you the controls and you can stand on the ladder, that way you can watch and we won’t be too cramped. When you are ready, you can sit here.” She nods but still says nothing. She is rarely quiet. I wonder what is going on in that pretty head of hers.
    I move to the seat as she stands next to me. This may be a bit more difficult than I thought. I turn my head to see her brown eyes staring back at me and all I want to do is pull her in my lap. I have tried pushing this thought from my head all day, this is going to suck. I blow out a breath in hopes of redirecting my thoughts. When I square myself in my seat, I realize I was so completely caught up with her that I forgot the most important part.
    “Ok, so we have to get back out,” I grumble, a little aggravated with myself.
    “Why? What’s wrong?”
    “I forgot to show you something.”
    “Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that YOU, Fenton the great, forgot something?”
    “Do you want to learn how to drive this damn thing or not?” I laugh.
    “Yes.” She smiles and all I can think about is pulling her lips to mine. I shake my head at myself. This girl is going to be the death of me.
    “Then get your ass down and let me show you the outside of this beast.” She still has the cocky grin on her face when she begins climbing down.
                  “Before you get in the dozer, you always make sure to inspect. If you see something that looks out of place, don’t try to start it; get Liam or me and we will take a look at it.” I lead her around the machine pointing out different areas that she needs to keep an eye on. We make our way to the front of the machine.
                  “This is the bucket and the most important part of this whole operation. If this guy is broken, there is no need for the machine.” I give a minute to absorb everything. “Do you have any questions about the outside?” I ask as we move to the opposite side of the dozer.
    “I don’t think so. If I think of something, I will let you know.”
    “That works. If something doesn’t
