She smacks my shoulder. “How about we just go with it? Have fun and don’t put a label on what we are?”
She’s got to be shitting me. That’s all she’s asking for? We can keep sleeping together and not give each other a classification? This isn’t what I expected from Bella at all.
“But…”
I point at her. “I knew there was a but coming.”
She nods like of course you did. “No other people. I’m willing to have fun in and out of the bedroom, but I’m not cool with you sleeping with someone else then hopping into my bed the next night. I’m not saying we’re exclusive. If you want to sleep with someone else, go ahead, but be honest with me first and we’ll end this.” She pulls her knees up to her chest and locks her arms around them. Protecting herself in case I tell her we can’t practice monogamy.
I grab her arms and pull them apart, letting her legs fall to the floor. “Done.”
I honestly have no yearning to sleep with anyone but her at the moment.
“Really?” I lean forward, but she puts her hand on my chest. “I’m serious. No other women.”
I lean in and give her a chaste kiss. “And I said done. Case closed. Just me and you having sex, having fun, and not having a relationship.” I swoop her up off the stool and into my arms. She squeals and her head falls to my shoulder. “I have one stipulation. You sleep in my bed tonight.”
“I’m not sure—”
I shut her up with a kiss because if it’s only tonight that we have this place to ourselves, I want to get as much time with her as I can.
“And what do we tell the others?” she asks.
“Do you want to sneak around or be honest?” I’ll leave the decision to her because my brothers will figure it out and give me shit either way.
“Let’s just go one day at a time. I’m not sure how to navigate it with us sharing a house this summer.”
I drop her onto my bed, and she slides in under the covers.
“Best view since we’ve gotten here.” I slide in after her.
Pulling the covers over us, I do exactly what I told her. I explore her body and am rewarded with two more zones that drive her crazy. The back of her neck and between her breasts.

I shut the drapes.Bella’s red hair is sprawled across the bed, a pillow tucked under her arm. Her lips are swollen from a night of sex. She’s gorgeous. I should’ve woken up this morning feeling done with her, but as much as I want to crawl back into bed with her, I force myself to put on my basketball shorts and quietly leave the room because I’m not going to be that loser.
The noises in the kitchen alert me that we’re not the only ones in the house anymore. So either the girls or Dom have returned. I cross my fingers it’s the girls, but when I cross the archway, there’s a big body in the fridge.
“You just come here to eat?” I pop a K-Cup in the coffee maker and wait for the water to heat and brew.
“At least I keep my extracurriculars out of the communal house.” He glances over his shoulder at me.
He’s wearing the same suit he had on Friday when he arrived, his tie hanging open around his neck. I rack my brain, trying to remember if I’ve seen him since then. No, I don’t think I have.
“What does that mean?” I cross my arms and lean against the counter, waiting for the brew to be done because I need some fucking caffeine.
“The clothes all over the pool deck. What the hell? You brought some girl back here? It’s going to be a disaster.” He settles on an apple and closes the fridge door then takes a big bite and sits on the counter. Dom’s always the one to sit on a counter or somewhere higher than everyone else. I think it’s an ego thing.
“I didn’t bring anyone home,” I say, grabbing the creamer from the fridge.
“I saw the clothes, shithead.”
“Yeah, so what? Who’s to say they’re from me? They could be Mae or Evie’s. What about Annie’s?”
“I’m not an idiot. Your door is the only one that’s shut. Speaking of which, where are the girls?”
“Mae and Evie stayed out last night.”
