My brothers like to tease me about my size, which normally I don’t mind, but for some reason, the thought of Leah joining in on their teasing doesn’t sit well with me.

“He’s so handsome.” Leah cooed, stepping out of my mom’s embrace and running her finger along Drew’s little cheek, “He takes after his uncle Brick in more ways than one.” Leah innocently smiles at Blake. And I smile at her blatant dig at Blake.

“Touche, Leah.” Blake nods, “I like this one, Brick. Better lock her down. She’s a keeper.”

Mom takes over the introductions, introducing Leah to my brother Isacc, his wife Ashley, and their children.

“Now that we all know each other, Leah and Brick, why don’t you run upstairs and freshen up. We saved you some supper.” Mom shoos us out of the living room and up the stairs to my old bedroom.

Leah stares at the queen-sized bed in the middle of my bedroom, knowing it will be a tight fit, sleeping next to each other. How will I be able to keep my hands off her?

Sensing her distress, I say, “I can sleep on the floor,” I slide behind her into the room.

“No, it’s fine. We’re both adults. We can share the same bed without anything happening between us.” She says it almost like she is talking to herself than to me.

After we both freshen up and have something to eat, we move to the living room, where my family is having a heated debate over my football team’s chances of winning the Superbowl this year.

Mom walks into the room before I can join in the conversation, “It’s trivia time.” She claps her hands, “Everyone into the dining room.”

My family rushes into the dining room to get their usual spots. My eyes scan the dining room, and I notice everyone is sitting down except me and Leah. There is only one chair left, which wouldn’t seem unusual to a guest, but I know we have more dining room chairs than what is now in the room.

My eyes snap to my mom. Her eyes are looking everywhere but at me.

CHAPTER6

LEAH

“Ihope you’re good at trivia, Leah. Brick is the reigning champion. Did you remember the trophy?”

“It’s right here, mom.” Brick pulls the ugliest-looking troll doll I’ve ever seen out of a brown paper bag.

“Don’t tell me you dishonored Squatsy by stuffing him into that dirty bag.” The horrified look on Brick’s mom’s face as she grabs the ugly troll doll from Brick, causes me to burst out in laughter.

“We seem to be short a chair.” Mrs. Siler taps her index finger on her chin. “I guess Leah will just have to sit on Brick’s lap.” She snaps her fingers. A determined look crosses her face.

I feel Brick tense at my side. I reach down, lace our hands together, and give him a reassuring squeeze. His eyes snap to our interlinking hands, and he squeezes my hand back. His gaze lands on my short skirt, and I hear him inhale sharply.

In my haste to pack for our trip, I packed all the short, tight clothing I had for the act we were putting on for his family and ex-girlfriend. My mind goes back to last night when we kissed, and I dry-humped him until I came, only to have him ignore my offer to reciprocate the orgasm.

I shake off the memory and remind myself I’m here as a friend. Unfortunately, I can’t stop thinking about how he felt between my thighs. His hard, long length pressed against the rough fabric of his jeans.

"Are you OK, Leah?" Brick whispers against my ear, causing another rush of longing to run through my body.

“I’m fine.” I managed to say. “Come on, that troll doll is going to look good on my fireplace mantel.” I tug on Brick’s hand, leading him to the only open chair left at the dining room table.

He sits down stiffly, and I climb on his lap, my skirt riding higher on my thighs. I feel his hard length pressing against my backside, and I shiver. Brick instantly holds me away from his body.

“Are you cold, dear?” Mrs. Siler asks, a small smile on her face.

“I’m fine.” I manage to say.

“Nonsense. Brick hold her closer to keep her warm.” She shakes her finger at Brick, and I have to hold in a laugh. If she only knew that I was actually burning up with desire for her son and not cold.

Brick wraps his big arms around me and pulls me tight against his large body, his body heat sinking into my skin. “Are you warm enough?” He whispers against my ear, and all I can do is nod.

I can't very well tell Brick my body is on fire, and my panties are soaked just from sitting on his lap.

I lean back into his embrace, loving the feel of his arms around me, “I’m good.”
