We’ll make sure Dax gets the girl

I can only hope

Chapter Sixteen

CHLOE

Everything changed.

We said nothing would change, and in the span of twelve hours,everythinghas changed. Why did I think getting off with Dax at the sex club would be a good idea? I wasn’t thinking.

I was too wrapped up in getting the whole sex club experience to stop and think what it might do to our friendship.

I spent the entire night tossing and turning. Remembering what Dax looks like when he comes. His strong hands on my body. His grunts as he came.

Dax is no longer my best friend. How do you even quantify what we did together? I don’t have the right words.

I have never thought about Dax like that. At least not since high school. I always liked him back then, but it was Duncan who asked me out first.

Ever since then, Dax has been firmly in the best friend zone.

Now? Now, I have no idea what zone he is in. It’smurky. Clouded. Is there amy best friend and I got off together at a sex club and now I have feelings for himzone?

Because if so, that’s where I need to be.

I cannot stop remembering how good his hands felt on me as I was dry humping his dick like I’d never had sex before.

I cannot stop remembering how good his breath felt on my neck as he whispered words of encouragement in my ear. Something I’d never imagined before.

And I cannot stop remembering the feeling of us coming together. The way his fingers dug into my skin. How he held me close through my release.

Shit.

I really shouldn’t be thinking about this right now because it’s making me greedy for more.

But Dax and I said nothing would change. Having these thoughts about Dax—about wantingmorewith Dax—would change things.

It’s not like I can talk to him about this. What if he’s not feeling the same things as I am? What if he went to bed feeling completely normal about where the two of us stand? I mean, he’s the one that said nothing changes.

But you can’t come with your best friend andnothave things change.

Instead, I pull up my texts and send one to Erica.

Chloe

Dax and I had sex last night

It’s still early.She and Devon stayed later than we did,so there’s no way she’s awake. But within thirty seconds, my phone is vibrating in my hand with her call.

I can’t even get a word out before her voice fills my ear.

“You had sex with Dax?! I know you two went off together, but I thought he was just keeping an eye on you.”

“We—”

“I mean, this is Dax. This is your ex’s brother and your best friend. Why did you not tell me this happened last night when you left?”

“Are you?—”
