“He does. Who would’ve guessed I’d find that I still love and trust my husband after all these years. Just goes to show, you never know how fate will play out.”
“Jeez, not you too. There’s nothing between Hunter and me.”
Voodoo burst into laughter. “Well,” she paused, trying to get her thoughts out. “That wasn’t what I was thinking at all… but good to know.”
Byte looked up toward the heavens, but only saw a plastered ceiling. How did she step into that land mine, and more importantly, why did Hunter keep coming up in her thoughts?
Growling, Byte walked away in frustration. The straight-laced preppy needed to go back into the box she’d put him in.
Trouble. That’s the box he belongs in, Byte thought before hitting the up button for the elevator. She needed to get her head on straight. She had a mission to finish and there wasn’t any room for black socks in her life.
Trouble.
CHAPTERTHIRTY
Trouble! The girl is trouble,Hunter kept reminding himself after having a pretty unsettling dream about those blue lips.
His priority had to be getting his brother on the straight and narrow and deciding how much he should tell his parents.
Rinsing out his coffee mug and placing it in the dishwasher, he couldn’t wait to have his life back to where it was before. He looked forward to having a clean kitchen, a clutter-free family room, and not smelling teenage feet. He wondered how his mother hadn’t lost her mind taking care of Kyle. He’d been with him for six days and he’d had nothing but one problem after another.
With Kyle still sleeping, he walked into his basement studio and continued reading his next project. He typically tried to take on jobs without a lot of smut, but he liked working with this author and had agreed to work on all three books in the series. Although there were some very hot scenes, the characters had depth, so the sex scenes felt natural. Clearing his throat, he began to read the manuscript out loud.
I threw her roughly onto the bed. I knew what she wanted, what she needed. They wouldn’t make love. What they had was lust… need… and dirty. It was one night. It would be their forbidden secret. She knew the score and was willingly opening herself up for me.
“Take off your dress. Now!” I am in control and she likes it. She playfully licks her lips, tempting me with those sultry blue lips.”
“What the… Red lips! The woman has red lips,” Hunter said, tossing the book onto the floor. “Get a grip!”
“There you are,” Kyle said as he entered the room carrying a bowl of cereal.
“No food down here.”
“Bruh, you and your rules. You’re worse than the rents.”
“Who?”
“Rents… you know, parents.”
Why couldn’t he just say that? It didn’t matter. They had things to talk about.
“Right. Come on upstairs. We need to talk about what to tell the ‘rents’ as you say.”
“Such a nerd.”
“And proud of it. Come on,” Hunter said, following behind his brother. Thank God his brother hadn’t heard his little argument downstairs. The last thing he needed was for Kyle to think he was attracted to the woman who’d fumbled her way into his life.
After they were seated at the bar, Hunter grabbed some paper towels to clean up the milk that had been spilled. He felt like he was always cleaning up messes. Today would be no different.
“What are you going to tell them?” Kyle finally asked.
“I don’t know. I think a lot of that depends on you.”
“How?”
“Are you going to keep hacking?”
“No. I already told you that.”
