“Doubt it.”I screwed my face up.“She’s a baby.”
“Yeah, but when we are adults.You’remyfriend.”He flopped back onto his bed.“Okay?”
“Yep.”
That conversation weighed heavily on me, especially having just lost my dad.I didn’t want to lose my best friend, either.
I think it almost made me hypervigilant of how I felt about her from that day on.But it didn’t stop me protecting her and stealing moments because Jessie Rogers had stolen my heart, and nothing has ever changed that.
I simply can’t ever tell her.
Especially right now as I lie in my damn bed, knowing if I get up she’ll be in my kitchen wearing a
pair of panties and T-shirt, and I’ll have to use all my strength not to bend her over the table and slam my dick balls deep inside her.
Jessie knows exactly how I feel about her, and she’s tried many times to get me to show my hand.
And failed.
What is she doing here?
Did she know Jayden was traveling this week?
Jesus, he’s away for two damn weeks.What company holds a conference for two whole weeks?I doubt he’s extending his time there for a vacation in Atlanta.No offense to Atlanta, but it’s not exactly Waikiki.I suspect he’s going to meet the gamer girl, MissBehave, but he’s being super vague about it.
“Fine, you can stay in my room for a few weeks while I’m in Atlanta,” Jayden said when Jessie showed up.“That okay, Liam?”
No, it’s not fucking okay.
But what choice did I have?I couldn’t think of a single reason why she couldn’t hang out.She was twenty-four, didn’t need to babysit, and his room was empty.
My cock was the only reason I could come up with—pun not intended—and I couldn’t voice that.
So the decision was made.
She was staying in my damn house.
His parting gift was asking me to take her to the birthday party for famous actress and my colleague Ryder’s wife, Savannah Sinclair last night.
I did.
Then tried to ignore her all night.
Try ignoring a gorgeous five-foot-six blonde that you’ve wanted to fuck for what feels like a thousand years.
With all the BHS guys at the party I’d had to watch her like a goddamn hawk.Jessie knows how protective I am of her and had played it up.
Then I’d driven her home and handed her a key when we were in the living room.“Jayden’s bedroom is on the right down the hall.No parties.No loud music.No...just stay out of trouble.”
Stay out of my bedroom, is what I meant.
The little hellcat swiveled on her heels, flicking her long hair over her shoulder.“Is that the room you really want me to sleep in, Liam?”
Yes.
I did.
Her insistent flirting, out of the view of our parents and Jayden, over the years was exhausting.She knew I couldn’t fuck her.Yes, both of us wanted to, but there are some things in life you can’t have.
