I don't bother to leave a voicemail because, let's be honest, my brother won't listen to it anyway. I've already sent him a dozen text messages and he hasn't responded to those either. Before I can talk myself out of it, I dial his best friend, Jake.
The damn thing goes straight to voicemail, too. Just like Milo’s.
With a deep breath, I raise my hand and knock on the door in front of me while praying I’m at the right address.
Please be home, Milo. Please be home.
It took me an hour to get here from Ian's and my apartment. I'd hoped that hour would've been enough time for Milo to call me back. But apparently, fate hates me today, so I'm not exactly surprised to see an almost naked stranger on the other side of the door as it squeaks open.
Speechless, I take in the stranger from head to toe.
When I catch myself staring at the 'v' on his lower abdomen that I was pretty sure didn’t actually exist out in the wild before this exact moment, a throat clears throat and I peek up at him.
With his head cocked to the side, and his amusement on full display, the stranger mentions, "Usually I take the girl out to dinner before I let her imagine me naked like that.”
Like a bucket of ice water has been poured over my head, I purse my lips and motion to the guy’s muscles and perfectly tanned skin are on full display. “Well, there’s not much left to the imagination, so you’ll have to forgive me.”
“Who said I was complaining?” He smirks before leaning his broad shoulder against the doorjamb.
How is he so freaking toned?
“Can I help you, sweetheart?" he prods.
“I’m uh, I’m looking for Milo.”
“Milo?” he repeats. I can hear the smile in his voice as I swallow thickly and force myself to hold his hypnotic stare.
I feel like I’ve fallen into a lion’s cage and the predator is stalking closer, backing me into a corner with nowhere left to run.
“Umm..” I shake my head and try to focus. “Yeah. Is he home by chance?”
"Sorry, babe. Milo isn't here."
"Of course he isn't," I mutter under my breath, shifting my weight between my feet. "How 'bout Jake? Is he home by chance?"
With a crooked, yet arrogant as hell grin, the bastard chuckles. "Milo and Jake? I didn't know they were into sharing––"
"Ew. Gross.” I shudder. “No, I'm Milo's sister––"
"I'm sure you are. But I have company and your boys aren't here. Normally I’d invite you in, but since I don’t do sloppy seconds and I already have company..."
The wide open door slowly begins to shut before I slap my hand against it. My palm burns on impact, but I stand my ground.
"No, you don't understand––"
"I understand perfectly. You're a girl who's looking for two different men, neither of which happen to be home at the moment while simultaneously wasting my time that could be spent buried deep inside my house guest.”
My eyes pop. He did not just say that to me.
“Babe, what’s taking you so long?” A gorgeous blonde appears from the other side of the door. She doesn’t even bother to look my way before sliding her hands along his abs and nibbling at the exposed skin along his strong jaw. It’s like I’m a ghost with how oblivious she is to my presence. In fact, I’m pretty sure that if I don’t let this guy close the door, she’ll start dry humping him within seconds. And I can’t really blame her. The guy’s hot. The problem is that he knows it though, which is the only rea
son I’m not dying from insane jealousy as her manicured fingers toy with the hem of his gray basketball shorts.
Wait, is she really about to dive into his pants when I’m standing two feet away from her? Is he really going to let her? I mean, I know she looks like a lingerie model and all, but seriously?
I’m right here!
Thankfully, my brother’s roommate can still see me, proving that I am not, in fact, invisible and decides to throw me a bone. “Try SeaBird down the street. They like to hang out there." Motioning to my hand that's still preventing the door from closing, he adds, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to."
