The First Taste

Summer is almost over and I have one last item on my to do list: My brother's best friend. When my brother surprises me with a birthday trip to Mexico, I envision sun and sand, not drinking until dawn. Then he invites his best friend Holden. Forget reading on the beach. I have a better plan: Asking Holden to punch my v-card. The trouble-making tattoo artist is funny, dreamy, and impossibly loyal to my brother. Worse, he sees me as a nerdy kid. Not for long. A bikini here, a little flirting there, and suddenly we're hanging out in ways that are all grown up. It's off limits, sure. But one taste can't hurt.
