Page 64 of My Best Friend's Brother

This is fucked up. I’m tempted to call a truce for the night, Raff and Ellie can do what they like, and we can do what we like. But I’m convinced this feeling will disappear once I’ve slept with Jessica.

The control this woman had over me was insane.

“Hey Jess, I’ve got an idea,” Raff piped up as the seductress herself turned to Raff, her eyes wide.

“Hmm? What’s that?” Jessica asked, sucking tomato sauce from her finger.

“Fuck’s sake,” I muttered as Ellie glanced at me with a frown.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” I lied as Raff smirked.

“Why don’twehook up? Seeing as these two are stopping us from seeing who we want?”

Hedidn’t. He didnot.

Ellie paled, her eyes narrowed into slits as I tried to breathe normally.

“Hilarious.” Jessica laughed, staring down at the pizza in her hand.

“Would it bother you two?” Raff asked, chewing on his pizza as I contemplated ranking my fist down his throat.

“No,” Ellie said as Raff’s smile faded. “Jess wouldn’t touch a slut like you with a barge pole, so we’re all good.”

“Really?” Raff sat up. “A slut likeme? Tell me, Ellie, what’s a slut?”

“Rafael,” I muttered as he glanced at me briefly. “Wind it in.”

“Oh no, let me enlighten him.” Ellie smiled, her eyes wide. “A slut is someone who doesn’t care who they fuck, and moves casually from one person to the other.”

“Like you, you mean?” He shot back, and Ellie gasped

Here we go.

“Are you callingmeaslut?”

Hell no. Is he mad? Ellie will bury him. I need to stop this.

“Fucking hell, can you two just stop this shit?” I barked out, glaring from one to the other. “Youwonderwhy I don’t want you two together? If this is what you’re like now, imagine what you’ll be like once you’re at it like fucking rabbits!”

“How do you know that will be all it is?” Ellie demanded as Raff’s face changed, a look of pain contorting his features.

“Oh, sorry, is he yoursoulmate?” I laughed harshly. “If he was, why are you letting a simpleton like me stop you?”

“You’re as bad; I know you like Jess!” Ellie shouted back, her voice cracking. “We all know what you want her for, Logan!”

“At least I’mhonestabout it!” I retorted, shaking my head. “You two are making out like you’re the next fucking big thing when all you want to do is fuck and fall out. Do what you want; just don’t come crying to me when it all goes tits up.”

Jess stared at me, and I couldn’t stand it.

I shook with anger, and I had to get out of there. I strode to the front door, almost ripping it from its hinges as I slammed it shut behind me.

I’ve had it with this fucking bullshit. I don’t want to be told who I can fuck, and who I can’t.

If I wanted that, I’d have stayed with fucking Jenna.

Besides, no woman had commanded my attention like Jessica had, and Iknewit was because I couldn’t have her. So fucking whatif she was my sister’s best friend?
