“I have no idea,” Miles whispered back. “How much longer until the girls’ night?”
“Too long.”
Bash stepped inside my room and closed the door behind me. His eyes were still narrowed.
“You said you’d stop glaring at me.” I grabbed my suitcase, unzipping it and kneeling in front of it. I’d worn sweats and a tee for the flight, but they obviously wouldn’t do for a dinner where I was supposed to be playing on Bash’s possessiveness.
“You planned this with my mom.”
“I didn’t, actually. This was all her idea.” I pushed hair behind my ear. “I didn’t know he was coming until you did.”
“He’s not going to touch you.” Bash’s words were harsh.
“I never said he was.”
“You’ve been looking for a hookup since August came into town, Brynlee.”
“Thanks for making me sound so shallow,” I drawled.
“That’s not what I was saying.” His voice was… frustrated. “We’re sharing this room.”
I sat up straight, my back still facing him. “We’rewhat?”
“Sharing this room. I don’t trust him in the same house as you, and I’m not snuggling with him.”
“Well you’re not snuggling with me either,friend,” I shot back. “Your mom said there’s an open couch. You can sleep there. I don’t cuddle with my friends.”
“I’ve seen you cuddle with Tatum and Miles on at least half a dozen occasions.” His growl was back.
I hated how much I loved it.
“That’s different. They’re my sisters, and they’ve never watched me orgasm. If you want boyfriend privileges, you have to be my boyfriend. Right now, we’re only friends in a way that benefitsyou.”
He was silent for a moment.
The door opened and closed behind me, then suddenly, I was alone.
I squeezed my eyes shut, dropping my head against the bed and letting out a long sigh.
My seduction plan sucked.
It took so much effort.
Why couldn’t he just make it easy for me, for five minutes?
Granted, he had just offered a way to make it easier for me, and I’d turned him down.
But that was different, wasn’t it? He wasn’t offering to make my life easier, or to make me happy. He was insisting because he thought he needed it.
Anastasia’s wicked plan was working against me, too.
A few minutes passed before someone knocked on the door. “Are you in there, B?” Miles called out.
Tears welled in my eyes.
Maybe I just needed to talk to someone.
“Yeah. You can come in.”
