His eyebrow raises and I know what he’s thinking. We’ve already seen a lot of each other.
Still, I forge ahead.
“I think it’s best if we just remain friends, so things don’t get weird for them, you know? You and I have to help them plan their wedding. We shouldn’t have sex anymore, Chris.”
He looks at me like I’m an alien with five heads. Then he gets close, real close, to me. My body is on high-alert, knowing just how easily I’d give in to him.
“Let’s get one thing straight, gorgeous. You and I are more than friends. And we have been ever since the first time we fucked and you kicked me out.”
The guilt is almost unbearable. It always has been.
“You’re the one with the problem. Not me. You want me, sweetheart? Just say the word and I’m yours.”
Chris chugs his beer, throws down a fifty, and walks out.
The next five months of planning Leo and Sophia’s wedding with Chris is going to either kill me or make me wish I were dead.

Angela Nicole resides in Upstate NY with her husband, William. With two graduate degrees in both education and business, Angela spent the last 23 years working in higher education. Wondering what to do with the conversations that were going on in her head, she put pen to paper, fingers to keyboard and wrote. Writing is quite a change but a change that she loves. As an avid reader, Angela fell in love with romance novels that feature alpha men with hearts of gold. If you enjoy them as much as she does, check out her Mastered Hearts Series.
