No. Iamin love with Briggs.

I don’t care that it’s only been a few days. I didn’t even need those days. I knew the moment he pulled that sleaze Joey Cartwright away from me in the street that he was mine. And I was his.

I rub my ass with the memory of how he punished me after my little stunt at the Den. It’s still sore, but the ache is fading, which makes me think it’s almost time for another punishment.

My body heats at the thought of Briggs turning me over his knee again. It’s hard because I want to be his good girl. I love it when he praises me. But on the other hand…

He’s still sleeping when I wake before dawn on our third morning together. We were up well past midnight fucking, and I know I need more rest. But I can’t sleep.

Jamie is due back tonight after dinner. As much as I want to see my big brother, the idea that my time here is coming to an end weighs heavily on me.

I slip into the bathroom and tug my sports bra and leggings on before grabbing my sneakers. I pause just long enough to look at the reflection of my flat belly in the mirror.

Of all the times we’ve been together, we haven’t used protection once. I’m not on birth control, and Briggs has filled me with his seed every single time we’ve had sex.

I’m a medical professional; I know what that could mean. At least on some level, it should concern me that I might be pregnant, but it doesn’t. In fact, I secretly hope I am. I’ve always wanted children and carrying Briggs’s child would be amazing.

If only he wanted that too.

We haven’t made any promises to each other, but I’m not stupid. This all started because I begged him to take my virginity and he was gentleman enough not to let me take that same offer to the likes of Joey Cartwright. But that doesn’t mean he cares about me or wants to be with me any longer than these few days.

But I can’t think of that right now. There’ll be plenty of time for reality to crash into my little fantasy just as soon as my brother comes home.

For now, I have time for a quick run to clear my head before Briggs wakes up. I scratch out a quick note telling him where I am, just in case, and head out the front door to run into town.

Briggs

I’m onlyhalf asleep when I hear the click of the front door.

Like a shot, I sit up in bed.

She’s gone.

Fuck.

My stomach flips and instantly I’m wide awake, flinging the covers to the side and taking the stairs two at a time. I see the note on the counter only seconds before I throw open the front door and charge down the drive buck naked after her.

Briggs,

I went for a little run. I won’t be gone long.

Mia

A run?She went for a run? In the woods? Where there are bears and wolves and…

I can’t stop the low growl that rumbles from deep inside.

I slam the note down on the counter and run a hand through my hair. I know I’m being possessive and ridiculous, but I don’t give a fuck. I want my girl safe. I want her withme.

Especially today.

Jamie’s due back from his training exercises tonight. I know I’m going to have to face my best friend and tell him how I feel about his little sister. I also know he’s going to kick my ass when he finds out what I’ve done to her. That I’ve not only given Mia her first kiss, but I’ve also taken her virginity. Never mind the fact that my big dick has been inside her at least a dozen times, making her scream every single time.

Jamie isnotgoing to be happy.

And neither am I when my perfect girl leaves me to go back to school. The thought of her walking away from me makes me want to tear my heart out of my chest.

And that’s exactly why I’m going to spend every single minute with her—preferably in my bed—that I can. I crumple the note and head back upstairs to find something to wear so I can go get my girl.
