From: Paul…Drinks tonight. You. Me. April. Alexander. His brother. And of course Scarlet. Let’s get the gang together while you’re in town.

To: Paul…Yes! I can’t wait. When? Where?

From: Paul…7 pm. We can have drinks in the bar at your hotel.

To: Paul… See you then.

I decided I’ll worry about the book tomorrow. It’s six and I have to get ready to go to Glass House.

After choosing a black pencil skirt and a matching sleeveless blouse with a plunging neckline, I get dressed. I walk out of my hotel room that I’ll be staying in for the foreseeable future. I’ve just gotten word that my publisher wants me to write a book with another writer while I’m here. So I could realistically be here for months or longer. I miss New York but Las Vegas is my hometown, so I’m comfortable here. It’s where my best friends are. I make a left out of my hotel room and walk to the end of the hall and get on the elevator.

I make my way to the table my friends are sitting at. I say hello to April, Scarlet, Alexander, Paul and Jamie. Jamie is here, but why? Why is he here? Alexander introduces him as his brother. Jamie is Alexander’s brother. Fuck.

Alexander said, “This is my brother Jamie. Jamie, this is our dear friend Stella.”

I glare at Jamie. He stares at me, looking up and down my body. I know exactly what he’s thinking about.

Scarlet said, “Jamie is an author too.”

Biting my lip I attempt to cleanse my brain of all of my impure thoughts. I need to hold onto my anger to keep him at bay.

I said sharply, “We’ve met.” I’m not pleased with this situation. Should I just leave? Did Jamie know that I’d be here? I draw in a breath, attempting to calm myself down before I embarrass myself.

His brother? I never would have agreed to this had I known. Did he know? I want to know. Did he know I’d be here? Maybe he has known all along that I know Alexander and that Scarlet is one of my very best friends. I feel very uncomfortable.

I want him so badly, but I don’t want to. I’m trying to stay away from him.

Author Jamie W. Martin…Wow. Handsome men must run in the Martin family. Jamie might be better looking than Alexander. So much for not seeing him again. Even as I sit here, determined to not see him again, I crave his touch like a drug addict craves drugs.

When he looks at me, I feel like I’m naked. As if he somehow knows that I’m thinking about him kissing me. He makes me uncomfortable, but in a good way. I said we had met. I blush as I think about it. We’ve done a lot more than meet.

Scarlet leans in close to me, “I think Alexander’s brother thinks you’re pretty. He hasn’t stopped staring at you.”

It’s making me uncomfortable.

Staring at Jamie, I mouth, “Stop!”

His lips turned up into the sexiest grin.

The heat in his eyes makes me want to run. It’s so overwhelming. My heart is pounding. I swear everybody can hear it.

Scarlet practically drags me to the bathroom, “Tell me everything.”

I blush as I wonder if I should really tell her everything, “We had sex. It won’t happen again.”

A shocked look crosses her face, “Oh my God. Was he bad?”

I bit my lip, thinking about the amount of orgasms he gave me, “No. Best sex I’ve ever had.” Better than I even knew it could be.

She looks at me like I’ve lost my mind.

I laughed, knowing I sounded insane.

“And this is a bad thing?”

Yes, I’m becoming addicted to his touch, his mouth. This is a dreadful thing, “No.”

“Then what’s the problem Stella?”
