“I can be.” His voice was deep, ripe with suggestion.
I wasn’t so sure we were talking about financial records. I think we were scheduling our next friends-with-benefits date. Either way, I was all for it. I didn’t want to hire an assistant, so I was fine with putting it off. In fact, if sex distracted him from his goal, I was all for that, and I’d enjoy myself in the process.
“I haven’t forgotten that we need to find money so you can hire some help.”
“Hmm,” I murmured noncommittally, not letting on that I was disappointed.
He glanced outside before maneuvering me out of the doorway. He brushed a hair out of my face and dropped his lips to mine. “I can’t wait for Monday.”
I leaned toward his body, giving in to my instincts to be close to him.
We hadn’t set an actual date, and I would have preferred putting him off like I had that week, but then his lips met mine, and all I could think about was how his lips felt against mine. Soft and pliable.
He lightly cradled the back of my head as he expertly explored my mouth before drawing back. My lips felt swollen, my breasts heavy.
The boys wouldn’t call out for us because they always wanted a couple more minutes to play. I wasn’t worried they’d look for us or ask where we were.
Nick smiled. “See you at practice on Sunday.”
I couldn’t respond. I lifted my hand to my lips, almost disbelieving he could make me feel that good. That afternoon wasn’t a dream or an anomaly. Nick was the real deal. I knew without a doubt I was in over my head.
I thought I could handle a friends-with-benefits arrangement without getting emotionally involved, but I was wrong.
It was dangerous, but I didn’t tell him no or tell him it was a bad idea. I wanted more time with him. I wanted everything he promised in his gaze.
From the porch, I watched Nick and Brody get in their truck.
“Can they come over again?” Hunter asked, his gaze on the truck as it drove out of sight.
“Sure.” The word came out more as a croak than anything else.
I went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. I needed something to ease my parched throat, to cool my overheated body. Nick was good for my body, but not my mind.
My brain was a jumbled mess. I didn’t know what was right or wrong. What I should do or avoid. I was a mix of emotions and impulses. I wanted Nick to stay. I wanted him to play my body like he had earlier.
It was stupid to pursue our arrangement when nothing could come from it. But I couldn’t say no. Not when it felt so good.
“I’m going to take a shower,” Hunter said.
It was so unlike him that I couldn’t even respond. Usually, I had to bribe him with electronics to get him to bathe.
“Nick said it was important to shower every day. I don’t want to stink.”
Before I could respond, Hunter went down the hall to his bathroom and shut the door. I’d told him the same thing repeatedly. But coming from Nick, he listened?
It should have chafed, but he got the result I wanted. It was a good reminder that Hunter was desperate for male attention. That was why he was so quick to listen to Nick over me. I was there every day. Hunter knew I wasn’t going anywhere. It was the rest of the adults in his life he was worried about.
It made my thing with Nick that much more precarious. Hunter was already falling for him.

NICK
When I asked Abby if we could meet up the next week, I didn’t tell her I’d work more hours over the weekend to ensure I’d have time to spend with her. My dick was stirring at the thought of taking her over her desk again. The next time, maybe I’d press her chest on it and take her from behind. The image was so hot, my cock was hard just thinking about it.
Thankfully, Brody hadn’t argued with me when we got home, and I said it was time for shower and bed. He was happy to have gotten some playtime with Hunter.
I was pleased Brody and Hunter’s friendship was developing. It was a good thing, but what would happen if my thing with Abby went bad?
