“I didn’t think I would ever say it to a girl but… With you, it’s different. I struggled with what I started to feel the moment it hit me. I swear I tried not to look at you, not to think of you likethat. Then, without really realizing it, I fell.”

“Are you scared?”

I purse my lips for a moment.

“Yes.”

She laughs.

“Do you think he’ll hate us if he finds out?”

“He’s going to kill us.”

She sighs and I close my eyes for a moment.

“Don’t say that.”

“Believe me, if it were up to me, I wish he never knew.”

“Very brave, Mr. Jones.”

I get on my back, run a hand over my forehead, and exhale all the air from my lungs.He will react badly. I know it. I know Edgar well enough to know that everything about his sister putshim in impossible states. Since we’ve been friends, he’s been protecting her, he’s always used us to that with Scar. Check up on her, pay attention to her, who she hangs out with, the parties she goes to, the classes she takes, and a whole bunch of other stuff. He’s her brother. He wants to watch out for her. It’s like that. It’s the way the three of us work with her.

To show her that we care about her. So, I know that if he finds out that I’m sleeping with her, he’s going to freak out. He’s going to want to cut me to pieces in the slowest and most painful way possible, because I would have taken advantage of his little sister’s weakness. Panic overwhelms me and all my muscles suddenly tense, accompanying the lurch of my heart in my rib cage.

“No one knows yet,” she whispers, putting a finger on my chin to make me turn my head towards her.

“Somebody knows.”

She frowns, looking confused.

“Milo understood when I left earlier that it was to join you. He saw the message you sent me earlier when I was driving. I had already told him that there had been something with you and… It’s Milo, he always understands everything.”

“Did he say anything?”

“No. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t judge. With everything he went through before getting together with Gabe, he learned to take a step back. He won’t say anything, but he knows.”

“And it bothers you to take him into your confidence.”

“Inourlie, yes.”

“You say that like you regret it.”

“Do you think I regret it?” I say, sitting up on my elbows. “Scar, if there’s one thing I can’t regret, it’sthis.”

I wave between the two of us and she smiles at me.

“So why are we still talking about something that didn’t happen and just enjoying being together right now? Why aren’tyou still making love to meslowlylike you promised earlier?”

She insists onslowly, sliding her naked body against mine and at the same time waking up my cock. Her mouth sticks to my neck and I moan. Scarlett has wrapped her hand around my member, and all my protests are gone as she begins long strokes.

Holy shit.

This girl is killing me.
