“We get caught and King will have both our asses.”
“We can be quiet. Remember that time we hid out in your mom’s closet for the whole day?”
I smirked at that. “Yeah. The whole damn town was looking for us. Never would have found us if you hadn’t squealed like a girl.”
“Nice try, Eugene. We both know it was you who screamed.”
“You would have too. It was a big-ass spider.”
“It was a ladybug.”
“Whatever. I’m sticking to my story.”
Welp, my brother was married, and from what I could see, it was a doozy. Even from our vantage point, we got to watch all the merriment when Scribe freaked out. My brothers lost their shit and even Bails looked put-out over Scribe’s reaction. Had to admit, watching Scribe hyperventilate was hands down one of the funniest things I’d ever seen, but in the end, he manned the fuck up and married his girl.
While everyone was enjoying the reception, I was going stir crazy.
If I had to stay in this room one more minute, sleep next to Shug one more night, I was going to lose my mind. It wouldn’t be so damn bad if she would stick to her side of the bed, but no. Shug liked to cuddle.
I wasn’t anyone’s cuddle bear.
Fuck that. She had been perfectly clear with me. I was definitively in the friend zone. Had been since we were kids and would be until the day I died. Nothing more I could do about that.
But fuck me, it didn’t stop me from praying.
I prayed so much, I wondered if God put my ass on hold permanently. Not that I could blame him. I was a persistent person. Not very patient. So, what if I wanted things now? That doesn’t mean I didn’t deserve something good to happen now and then.
The only problem was, the one thing I wanted I couldn’t have.
Getting up from my bed, I stretched, ignoring the ache in my dick as I looked out my window, watching the stars twinkle in the night’s sky. “Shug, I’m gonna take a shower. You need the bathroom?”
“Nope, I’m good,” she whispered, looking up from the book she was reading.
Rushing to the bathroom, I quickly closed the door.
I needed to gather my thoughts and calm down.
I wasn’t a young kid anymore.
I knew how to control my cock.
I was better than that.
She did that to me. She made me forget. She caused me to lose control.
I wasted no time, undressing swiftly and turning on the shower. My cock ached as I peeled my boxers away. I hadn’t had an erection like this since I saw my first Playboy magazine.
I didn’t need this shit.
I wanted to move past her. Get on with my life.
I didn’t want her having this imaginary hold over me anymore.
I needed a clean break, only I didn’t know how I was going to do that. And it was going to be hard with her ex still out there and King ordering me to protect her. While there wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for Shug, these last few days told me everything I refused to believe.
I couldn’t be around my best friend anymore.
Seeking solace, I stood beneath the warm shower and tried to calm myself. My cock was still hard. My chest heaved and my heart felt like it was ready to leap out of my chest. Everywhere I turned, she was there.
