Last night she infiltrated my dream, which resulted in me waking up with a goddamn steel erection. Not wanting to jerk off, I went with my second choice, the gym. So at 6:00 a.m., I punched my fists into the bag, trying to relieve the tension. And just when I had it under control, she arrived. God, the way her eyes roamed my body when I changed my shirt caused my dick to twitch. It felt like she was seeing her favorite ice cream, and she wanted to lick it. I attempted to ignore her tongue darting out, but then the moment against the wall happened. Fuck me. In the beginning, I sensed her nervousness, and I tried to comfort her, but then her expression transformed from nervous to full-on erotic.

Goddamn. My hand touches the button controlling the warmth of the water, and within a few seconds, it turns ice cold, but it does nothing for my concrete dick that demands attention. I give in and wrap my fingers around my shaft, and with the picture of her emerald irises and sinful lips, I move my hand up and down. A grunt leaves my throat as pre-cum escapes from my tip. I increase my movements. Damn, how I long to taste her lips and let our tongues battle for dominance. Pictures of Alisha in see-through lace underwear and garters with high heels enter my mind, and I release a deep, guttural moan of satisfaction as hot cum shoots out. God, I'm an ass. I'm supposed to help her recover from her traumatic event, but instead, I'm getting aroused every time she's near me. Fuck, how am I going to deal with that?

ALISHA

The momentI told the girls I needed their advice, they asked me why. I explained Cole was teaching me self-defense, and a second later, they announced they were coming to my apartment. Now, at eight o'clock in the evening, we're standing in my living room while I unwrap the present they bought me.

"Oh, girls. I love it," I exclaim when a bright new workout clothing set comes into view.

Amanda points to the outfit. "What are you waiting for? Try it on. We want to see you in it."

"Yeah," the others say simultaneously.

"We'll pour in the wine, and when you return, you can tell us why the mighty Alisha McQueen asked for our help." Bella flashes me a grin.

I roll my eyes as they scrutinize me with utter curiosity as I walk to my room to change. The sound of the girls mumbling and giggling makes me smile. They are my family. Even Amanda, who joined our group later, fits in perfectly. Next to being my boss, she's an amazing friend with whom I share the love for fashion.

A moment of guilt washes over me, knowing I haven't told them I received a second letter. But I'm not going to. I don't want their concern and worry. When I reenter the living room, Emma and Amanda are sitting on the couch, and Bella is relaxing on my purple lounge chair while Amanda opens two bottles of wine.

"Tada," I sing while making a pirouette. These black workout pants feel amazing. The stretchy material hugs my figure like a second skin, and the criss-cross straps of my sports bra give off a sexy vibe.

Amanda claps her hands in enthusiasm. "Oh, wow, you look hot. You'll let the men in the gym drool."

"I hope I get your body once this baby is out," Emma says, rubbing her seven-month enormous belly. She takes a sip of her water and leans back on the couch.

"Oh, girl, you got your own martial arts man, so you'll get your shape back in no time." Bella giggles.

"So, why did you send us the S.O.S. message?"

"Uh… yes." I grab the glass of red wine Bella is holding in her hand, and I take two generous sips.

"Oh, boy. This is interesting. I can sense it. Did something happen between Cole and you?" Amanda asks as she wiggles her brows. "Let me guess, you've seen him work out, and now you want a piece of him? If that's it, don't worry. The sight of his muscles impresses every woman with a pulse." She waves her hand dismissively while taking a swig from her glass.

I gulp the rest of the wine back.

"Easy Alisha, you're drinking it like soda," Emma says. "Tell us what's wrong before getting drunk."

Three pairs of eyes inspect me as if I'm a bug under a microscope. "Stop the staring."

They ignore my request and keep glaring.

"Oh, let's face it, girl. Cole is hot. Not as smoking as my Nick, because when he gets naked—"

"Ew. Stop it! You're talking about my brother."

We burst out in laughter, seeing Amanda's face contort in disgust. She changes the focus back to Cole once our laughing fit eases down. "So, does your question have to do with Bulldozer?"

I sit next to Bella and place my glass on the table before slowly blowing out the air between my lips. Emma, who senses my uneasiness, asks me another question.

"Nick told me the relationship between Cole and Samantha is improving?"

I grin from ear to ear. "Yeah, since they began cooking together, they talk, and now they understand each other much better. He arranged for her mother's ashes to be brought here, so she can get a place in Boston Cemetery."

"See, this shows your grumpy is not only hot but also has an enormous heart. What more do you look for in a man?"

My hands move over my face. "He's not mine, Bella."
