Page 34 of Enemies with my Bestie’s Brother
“I have been working on your apartment, you absolute ass!”
I stand up, indignant at the way he’s treating me, in front of his family, no less. I storm out of the apartment and into the hallway, pacing outside the doorway. I can hear shouting coming from the apartment.
“What the hell is wrong with you, Grayson? I don’t know what your problem is, but you need to go fix it, now!” Penny yells at him.
Oh god, I’m not ready to see him yet. Can I hide?
Nope, not even a plant to hide behind. I hurry to the elevator, but don’t make it before the door opens behind me.
“Whitney, wait.” He jogs after me until he catches up, which comes quicker than I think he anticipated. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have taken that out on you in front of my sister. Can we please talk?”
I turn and look in his pleading blue eyes. Truthfully, I want to get as far away from this man as possible, but I don’t want to give him any basis to tell Penny that I’m the unreasonable one.
“Fine, we can talk.” I cross my arms and look at him expectantly.
He glances at Penny and Parker’s door.
“Can we go to my apartment? For some privacy?” He starts walking towards his door. I’m about to protest when I imagine Penny and Parker’s ears pressed to their front door. I sigh and make my way in after him.
I stop in the kitchen, unwilling to go any farther.
“What the hell is your problem?” I ask as soon as he closes the door.
He sighs heavily.
“Look, I’m sorry. I just—when you left the other morning without saying anything, it really hurt,” he says.
I stick out my lip in a fake pout.
“Oh, did it hurt? I’m so sorry for hurting your feelings. It’s perfectly okay when you do it, though, right?”
I bat my eyelashes at him exaggeratedly. Maybe I’m being an asshole, but there’s no universe where he doesn’t deserve it.
“This is the second time you’ve done something embarrassing like that in front of your family. Do you have no tact? Is there something actually wrong with you that makes you think this is acceptable behavior?”
“No, I know it’s unacceptable, okay? And you’re right, I don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to being upset. I’m sorry for blowing up at the table. I know that I need to work on controlling my anger, and I’m sorry, because you don’t deserve to be on the receiving end of it.”
His apology takes the wind out of my sails, and I let out a breath of air as if all the steam is leaving my proverbial engine.
“Well, thank you for apologizing. And you know, I shouldn’t have left without saying anything. I was just scared, because not only are you my best friend's brother, you’re now my boss. That changes almost everything! Imagine what my reputation would be if it was discovered that I was sleeping with you. My business would tank!”
“I know. I understand why you did it. I’m sorry for the way that I reacted. I just…I don’t know. I like you, Whitney. A lot more than I anticipated.”
He reaches out and strokes my face. I suck in a breath as I stare into his eyes. I lick my lips and place them on his before I can rethink my decision. I should not be doing this, but I want to. I can’t resist him.
He deepens the kiss, nibbling at my lip. He pulls me to him, hard, and I let out a small moan. I rake my fingers along his back, and he shudders. He turns me around, presses me against the wall, and kisses my neck as he pulls my dress over my ass. He rips my panties down then and quickly undoes his pants. I’m hot and wet in anticipation, ready to feel him inside me.
It happens fast, him pulling my hips against him as his member pushes into my warmth quickly. I cry out at the feeling — pleasure and pain happening all at the same time. He moves swiftly, plowing into me harder every time. This isn’t making love. No, this is a fast fuck, through and through.
I back into him, desperate to get more. He starts pumping into me at a near break neck speed.
“Oh my god, Grayson! Yes, I’m cumming!” I shout as his grip tightens around my hips. I sink back into him as the pleasure rolls over me, and suddenly I feel his reaction inside me, the outpouring of liquid that means he’s reached his pleasure too.
I turn around and face him while biting my lip. His eyes are filled with lust, and I know that he’s feeling exactly the same way that I am.
He picks me up and carries me to the bedroom for round two.
