But she’s right. I haven’t opened my suitcase yet, and digging out my slippers would be a pain. So I throw my shirt back on—which has no buttons now—and then my socks and boots.
Brianna gathers her purse and then goes to the bathroom for a minute, presumably to check her appearance. She comes back looking more beautiful than ever. Gorgeously just fucked. And gorgeously just Brianna.
I walk her down the hallway to the room she shares with Maddie. It’s late now, after midnight, and we have breakfast at eight.
“Where did you tell Maddie you were going?” I ask.
“I told her Brock needed to talk to me about some family stuff.”
I frown. “Oh. I don’t like you lying.”
“I don’t like it either. I want to be a good friend to Maddie, Jesse.”
“I want that as well. That will be the last time you have to lie to my sister. We’ll get this all out in the open at breakfast.”
“Sounds good.” She pulls out her key card.
I grab her then, give her a kiss.
Though I’m expecting it to be only a short kiss, she opens for me, and I dive in.
God… Kissing her…
A kiss with the hottest woman in the world in my fantasies was never this good.
Stop, Jess. Stop… You need to go to bed, need your sleep…
But I can’t bring myself to break the kiss, and?—
A screaming gasp pierces through the air.
And a breeze from the door opening.
“What the hell is going on here?”
Chapter Twenty

Jesse and I break our kiss simultaneously.
Instinctively I pull away from him, and my hand goes to my mouth, touching my swollen lips.
Maddie stands in the doorway of our room, wearing her lounging pants and tank top that she sleeps in. Her hair is in a braid behind her in the back, and she’s wiping sleep out of her eyes.
Do I speak first?
Or should I let Jesse speak first?
We’re both silent for what seems like an eternity until?—
“Mads…” we both say in unison.
It would be comical if Maddie didn’t look so horror-struck.
“I asked you point-blank.” She waves her finger in my face. “I asked if you had designs on my brother, and you said you didn’t.”
“Maddie,” Jesse says, “let us in. We’ll explain everything.”
