Destiny Revealed (There's Always Tomorrow Book 2) by M.D. Saperstein

sex and is crazed; in fact, he just slept with some chick he met at the coffee shop a few nights ago. So it isn't like he’s sex deprived. But shit, he’s ready to rip her clothes off and do her right here on the counter, not caring who walks in and sees them. 
    Dayne turns and walks away.
    “Hey, where are you going?” Harper asks, sounding confused and hurt.
    “I'm going to take a cold shower before I do something that'll make you hate me,” Dayne mutters without stopping.
    He jogs up the stairs and almost runs into Vance and Melina as they’re coming out of Vance's room.
    “Hey, man, you alright?” Vance asks, looking amused.
    Dayne clenches his jaw and struggles to be calm. He glances at Melina, who is giving him a knowing smile. Bitch! She knew the effect Harper would have on him, and she knew about her rules!
    “You, Melina, are now on my shit list,” he snarls.
    Melina laughs. “What’d I do?”
    “You brought that evil temptress into my house knowing full well about her five date policy. My dick is ready to explode,” Dayne growls at her.
    Melina rolls her lips in to keep from laughing.
    “’Evil temptress,’” Vance repeats, chuckling.
    “When's your first date?” Melina giggles, somehow knowing without him even telling her.
    “Friday, fuck you very much!” Dayne snaps and storms off toward his room.
    “Where are you going?” Vance calls after him.
    “To take a cold shower!” he yells back, walks into his room, and slams the door shut. He can hear Vance and Melina cracking up as they start down the stairs.
    Dayne sighs and heads into his bathroom, where he strips down, turns on the cold water in the shower, and gets in. The cold water feels amazing on his heated skin. How the hell is he going to survive five dates without going out of his fucking mind? He’s just praying that she’s not shit in the sack.

    **Harper**
    Harper takes a seat at the kitchen table after Dayne walks out. She is seriously freaking out. Her heart is pounding out of her chest, her stomach is threatening to fly away from all of the butterflies in it, and her mind is racing with all kinds of dirty thoughts.
    Before today, Harper would have argued that love at first sight is impossible. But she has no other explanation for what she is feeling. It isn't just lust. There’s some kind of deep connection that has never been there with any other guy she's ever been with. Oh, and the way he made her burn by just looking at her. She’s screwed.
    She really must be in her own world because she doesn't hear Melina come into the kitchen until she’s standing right next to her. Harper jumps in her seat when Melina touches her shoulder. “You scared me,” Harper yelps.
    Melina gives her a small smile. “Sorry, are you okay?” she asks, concern in her eyes.
    “Oh...yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking,” Harper says with a quick tight smile.
    Then Harper notices that Vance is leaning on the counter where Dayne was, a knowing smirk on his face. Harper blushes. She fucking blushes! She can't believe it. She never blushes, ever.
    “You really got under his skin. He’s a bit shaken up over it, too.” Vance smiles softly.
    Harper opens and closes her mouth a couple of times, but nothing comes out. Another first. She just snaps her mouth shut.
    “Since you’re gonna be seeing him, I need to warn you; Dayne is not the right guy for you. He went through a nasty divorce about five years ago, and he's still fucked up from it. So don’t go into this with hopes of a long term anything, I don’t want you to get hurt. He refuses to commit, refuses to fall in love again, and refuses to be vulnerable at the hands of a woman. The most you’re gonna get from Dayne is great sex,” Vance says sadly. Harper can see that it hurts him to admit that his friend is the way he is.
    “That's sad,” Harper murmurs.
    Vance nods. “I will say, though, that I’ve never seen him get this worked up over a chick he just met. Maybe it's a good
