Best scene for me was Jessica on the beach by FAR. It had great lead up and felt super romantic
The only proper date, drink, conversation, embrace and sex the MC has had so far. And afterwards he invited Jessica to stay with him overnight at his place; never done anything like this with any of the others. All the other sex has been sport fucks, spontaneous and hurried but without, as you say, any tenderness or romance. I'm not the most romantic guy in the world but do appreciate seeing something more than the usual wham bam thank you mam type of sexual encounter the MC normally participates in, especially with the pick of the crop as far as the women of Cape Vedra are concerned.
As far as I can see the MC likes all of the girls to some degree but only has deep feelings for Janet, Kaley, Jessica and Diana all of whom he seems to genuinely care for. Or maybe I'm reading it wrong. I never thought he was going to nail Diana in this update (in the library of all places) or that Clare (with her one star sex drive) would get jiggy so quickly and easily with both him and Tasha (behind a public house).
If I didn't know better I would think that there was something in the water...
