Chloe covers her face with both hands, “I honestly can’t believe you’re my friend sometimes,” she says, looking at me through the spaces between her fingers.
She’s so fucking adorable. I laugh. “I don’t hear you denying it.” As suspected, her cheeks flush a brighter shade, almost matching the color of my hair.
Now it’s she who moves to sit beside me leaning back, her head falling against the back cushion of the couch.
“It doesn’t matter what I want or don’t want. Zane sees me as this naïve little girl he helped raise. He’d never look at me any other way.”
I knew it!My subconscious shouts out in my mind, and suddenly the wheels in my mind turn, looking for a way to make my best friend's dreams come true. “Oh, on the contrary my little darling virgin, there is nothing more appealing to a grown man, than an innocent virginal pussy. Granted, you’re of legal age of course.” I add, cause duh.
Chloe shakes her head. “I wouldn’t even know what to do to get him to see me in any other way. I’m practically walking around naked in these pajamas and he’s over here rubbing all over you.” Her voice drops, and she lowers her head, staring at her legs as she fiddles her fingers nervously on her lap.
Oh shit, she’s seriously crushing on him. “My sweet girl,” I mutter, tucking a loose strand of hair over her ear, and bringing her chin up to meet my gaze. “You don’t need to flaunt it all for him to notice you. You just need to learn how to tempt him, tease him, the ultimate art of seduction.”
“Like it’s that easy,” she mumbles under her breath.
“Oh, but it is my dear friend. You’re in luck.”
She looks up at me with wide, hopeful eyes. “Why is that?”
My smirk widens and the little devil horns and tail I try to keep hidden make their presence known. “Because you have a best friend who’s going to teach you how.”
ChapterFive
CHLOE
So I may have fibbed. Not a lot… just a little white lie.
I intended to get Avery to spend the holiday at the cabin from the beginning. I couldn’t bear the thought of not being with both of them this year. It would have been the worst fucking Christmas if either of them were missing.
Zane and Avery both hold such a deep place in my heart, deeper than either of them knows.Ugh. I am creating my recipe for disaster, trapped in a snare of my doing between my ex-stepdad, who is the perfect man and makes me melt whenever he is around, and my best friend.
Avery is equal parts gorgeous and sass, and I swear it's almost intoxicating being in her presence sometimes.
Not to mention my best friend is also ridiculously in tune to me. Most of the time Avery knows just how to deal with my rampant mood swings before I even get them. When I’m sad, happy, moody, she's always there with a shoulder to lean on, a smile in my direction, or a honey bun in hand expecting my hangry ass.
Avery could feel my attraction to Zane within hours of being here with us. Best of all, she cares enough to teach methe art of seduction, her words not mine. I find it incredible how easily she’s able to attune to my every emotion or thought effortlessly, but it’s my biggest secret she’s been completely oblivious to.
Of course I find Zane insanely hot, but he’s not the only one that makes me feel butterflies in every inch of my body. Avery has been in my life for years and almost immediately I felt that connection to her. I knew I liked her from the moment we met but I didn't realize my feelings had grown until last summer.
We spent the entire break together, like an extended sleepover. It was magical, all the movies, snacks, and bonding. We spent that first week after classes ended in a little bubble of bliss. The following week I got the worst cold of my life. I mean I was like a walking zombie, dead to the point Avery was just spoon feeding me cold meds while I slept off my fever. Avery had been around long enough to know that cold meds always fucked with my sleep.
I was prone to night terrors and hallucinations from something as simple as NyQuil, and I had a fuck ton of it that week. All I can remember is this cloud of peace and safety that enveloped me at night. Avery would climb into bed with me instead of staying in the guest room and cuddle me so that the night terrors wouldn't be so intense. My nights were spent in her embrace while she caressed my arms with her fingertips and whispered things about her day to calm me, putting me to sleep. Her voice was like honey and her touch was like silk.
Magical.
After coming out of my cold coma I had all these new feelings for my best friend. Feelings I knew I wasn't supposed to have but were there, anyway.
I felt awkward having these sinful thoughts about my best friend but once they appeared they never left, they’ve only grown into something I’m afraid I can’t hide any longer. So when Avery mentioned teaching me the art of seduction, I felt almost guilty. Almost.
The only question now, who will I learn to seduce?

“I knowexactly what we need to do,” Avery says, walking up behind me, placing her hands on my shoulders. She watches me finish applying my makeup, her gaze meeting mine through the mirror as she crinkles her nose, a sign she’s deep in thought. “For starters, you need something more provocative.” Reaching into the makeup bag she brought with her, she pulls out the same shade of red she currently wears on her lips.
Of course Avery is flawless tonight, her makeup perfect per usual. Bright red lips, long dark lashes, and a winged liner making her blue, almond-shaped eyes pop. She opens the lipstick, grabs my chin, and turns my face to hers, swiping the bloodstain on my lips. Slowly, she brings her thumb up to swipe any excess off the sides.
“Perfect, now these lips aren’t only tempting, they’re fuckable.” I swallow thick, her sultry voice, sending a wave of arousal through me. The way she watches me gives me a flash of hope that maybe, just maybe, my best friend has thought about me the way I constantly think of her.
