“This is my bedroom.” Flynn nods to a pair of double doors at the top of the stairs. The doors are open and I catch a glimpse of an oversized sleigh bed in the middle of the room.

I hurry past before I can memorize the layout of his bedroom. Before I start to fantasize how Flynn looks lying naked in his bed with the sheets tangled around his feet.

“You’re in here.”

I trail after him as he enters a bedroom two doors down from his. He sets the suitcases at the end of the bed. “You have your own bathroom through there.”

“My own bathroom? I won’t have to fight a naked mermaid to use the shower in the morning?”

He chuckles. “And there are extra sheets and pillows in the closet. I know how much you love your pillows.”

“Thanks.”

He retreats to the hallway. “If you need anything else, let me know.”

He shuts the door and I collapse on the bed. How am I going to survive living in the same house as Flynn without throwing myself at him? I never was any good at resisting temptation. Thus, me kissing my older brother’s best friend at my high school graduation ceremony.

This is temporary, I remind myself. Plus, Flynn doesn’t want me. I won’t force myself on a man who doesn’t want me. Not again.

Chapter 8

She had me at good morning.

Flynn

Ibrace myself when I hear Sophia’s heels click on the wooden floor as she walks to the kitchen the next morning. I’m feeling rough today after a night spent laying awake in my bed hoping and praying Sophia would bust into my room and seduce me.

I squeeze the back of my neck and force those thoughts away. I do not want my best friend’s little sister to come onto me. I want – no, need – her to stay away. Otherwise, there’s no way I can keep my hands to myself.

“Good morning,” Sophia greets as she enters the kitchen. “Please tell me there’s coffee.”

She’s gorgeous, all dressed up for a day in the office, with her high heels, tight skirt, and frilly blouse. She’s fresh andclean, and all I can think about is stripping those clothes off of her and showing her how fun dirty can be.

My cock wakes up but I clear my throat and order him to calm down. There will be no fulfilling of any fantasies involving Sophia in this lifetime.

I motion to the coffee pot. “I know you can’t survive without coffee.”

“I can, but I choose not to.”

“Which is why you used to sneak into the kitchen early in the morning during high school to brew coffee before your parents woke up.”

She rolls her eyes. “I don’t know why they wouldn’t let me drink coffee. All my friends were allowed to drink coffee in high school.”

“Maybe because you drank an entire pot one day and then decided to try out for the field hockey team because and I quote here, ‘how hard can it be?’.”

She grimaces. “My parents are still mad about how much the dentist charged to fix my tooth.”

“You should have worn a mouth guard.”

“I thought the other girls on the team were pranking me. I didn’t realize girls actually wear mouthguards playing field hockey.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t have tried out for a sport you knew nothing about.”

She shrugs. “I had all this excess energy, and the tryouts were happening. It was a match made in heaven.”

I chuckle. “For the dentist.”

“You’re one to talk. You joined the debate team to impress some chick.”
