Either way, this is situation with Summer isn’t a long-term solution—but a short-term solution is better than no solution at all.

Then again, who knows just how long this charade will have to go for me to fulfill my end of the bargain. How long will it take for this Sean jerk to move on?

I know if I had a girl like Summer, and I lost her, I sure as hell wouldn’t give up too quickly. I’d do anything to win her back. I’d …

I force my brain to cut off that train of thought. It’s going to be hard enough keeping my attraction for Summer in check while pretending to be with her. I don’t need to make that even harder by dwelling on how damn sexy she is, how great her personality is, how talented she is, how …

Shit, I’m doing it again.

The cat is clearly agitated as I carry her up the walkway to Summer’s front door. She mewls questioningly when I ring the doorbell.

Then, the door swings open and Summer’s standing there.

I try not to let it happen, but immediately my gaze lands on her lips. The lips that were pressed against mine days ago, when I drank the sweet moans from her mouth.

An agitated meow from my cat pulls me back to the present.

“So, who do we have here?” Summer coos, looking down at the bundle of fur.

“Actually,” I begin, feeling a familiar guilt rake over me, “she doesn’t have a name yet.”

Summer’s brow furrows questioningly. “No name?”

I chew lightly on my inner cheek, feeling called out. “I’m bad with names.”

Excitement flashes in her big, green eyes. “Can I name her?”

My chest flutters at the thought of Summer naming my cat. “Sure. If you think of something that fits. I mean, I know that she really should have a name. It’s just …”

“You’re not good with names,” Summer finishes my thought, a teasing lilt on her voice.

“Mhm,” I grunt in acknowledgement.

“Well, I’m great with names,” a new voice joins the conversation from behind Summer. A girl about Summer’s height with long, chestnut hair peeks from behind her, eyeing the cat excitedly.

“This is Olivia, my roommate,” Summer says. “She loves cats.”

“So, this is Hudson, huh?” Olivia asks.

Summer’s cheeks color a pale shade of rose. The sight traps a breath in my chest for a moment. “Yeah,” she nods.

Olivia puts her hand next to her mouth conspiratorially like she’s whispering a secret. “The FBF?”

My mind mulls for a second. Ah, fake boyfriend.

Summer nods, the pink in her cheeks growing deeper. What I wouldn’t give to see that shade turn even darker, to see her flushed cheeks darken to a deep crimson while I …

Again, not thoughts I should be having.

Not that the fact that I shouldn’t be having those thoughts kept me from fisting my cock last night while I remembered the sensation of her swollen lips sliding against mine, the velvety smoothness of her tongue when I pressed my own inside her mouth …

I lift my right foot and set it on the sill of their doorjamb to hide the fact that there’s something stiffening in my pants. “Can we come in?”

Summer nods. Her and her roommate take a step back, letting me inside. My chest pulses with an intense feeling I can’t quite name when she pushes the door shut behind me. I’m suddenly standing in Summer Andrews’ house.

I nod to the cat. “She’s a little … temperamental. She doesn’t like most people. But she’s got a good heart, and she comes around eventually if you treat her right. So, she might be a bit nasty at first …”

Suddenly, the cat jumps from her bed right into Summer’s arms. Summer gasps, catching her against her chest. The cat is now showering her kisses, snuggling up against her chest while Summer lets loose a stream of surprised giggles.
