“What’s up?”
“You seeing my brother tonight?” Presley asked, checking his phone while waiting for my response.
“I am.”
“You two good?”
I carried the case out to the bar while he followed behind me. “Why do you ask?”
“Because I know my brother. When he finds a shiny new toy, he plays with it and uses it up until it’s no longer desirable to him.”
My back stiffened, a sour taste filling my throat.
“Shit. That’s not what I meant.”
Ignoring him, I set the case on the floor and started stocking the fridge. “It is what you meant, Presley.”
“I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Have you ever thought that maybe I would hurt him?” It wouldn’t happen. I would end things before it ever came to that. Where Nicky was concerned, if he wanted a relationship, I would never say no to him. Maybe that was the problem.
“I love you, Noah, but you don’t have it in you to hurt him.”
I grunted, thinking back to the other night when I scraped my teeth along his cock. I was pissed he nevertold me that he hadn’t slept with anyone else in a long time. I wondered why he would keep something like that from me.
“Shouldn’t you be working?”
My body heated at the deep voice. I looked up and found Nicky looming over the bar.
He grinned. “I always enjoy seeing you on your knees.”
“Alright, I’m leaving.” Presley rolled his eyes.
Both Nicky and I laughed at Presley’s expense. He had known about us sleeping together ever since he walked in on Nicky kissing me. That had been so long ago, I almost forgot what it was like to not be sleeping with my best friend’s brother. Presley had been cool with it but he still often told me how he didn’t want me to get hurt. He wasn’t worried so much about his brother. It was me he was concerned for. While I appreciated the gesture and that he was thinking of me, I was adult enough to understand that Nicky only wanted one thing.
Sex.
Pure hard fucking.
Nothing more.
“Why did you kiss me?” I asked, staring at my best friend’s brother. It was our first kiss and it completely consumed me.
“Because,why not?” Nicky tilted his head, staring at me with an intensity I felt down to the very tips of my toes.
“You make it sound like you just kissed me because you were bored.” I crossed my arms under my chest, wondering what the hell was going on. He had never acted like he was attracted to me before, so this kiss didn’t make sense.
“Iambored.” Nicky shrugged. “I’m too busy for a relationship, so whenever I’m in town, I want to meet up. With you. We can have some fun. No strings.”
But that was the issue. Ididwant strings. But to have the chance to be fucked by the guy I had been in love with for years,couldn’t be so bad. I would have to ignore my heart and what it wanted. Maybe some fun would be good for us both.
“No strings,” I repeated.
A slow grin spread on Nicky’s handsome face. “No.” He licked his lips, his gaze dropping to my mouth. “Strings.”
“So, every time you’re in town, you’ll be fucking me and only me.” It wasn’t a question, but I needed to know. I didn’t give a shit what he did when he was away but when he was home? I needed to make sure that I was the only warm body he would use.
“If I said I was going to fuck others while I’m here, would that make you jealous, Noah?” He grabbed hold of my waist, pulling me against him. “Would it piss you off if I told you that I had another piece of ass lined up while I’m home?”
