Forbidden Heat

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body close. “It’s just pretend, remember?”

“I just hope you two do.”

They walked to his gorgeous red Mustang and he opened the door for her. He settled into the driver’s seat beside her, then took her into his arms for another passionate kiss. His hands began to rove over her body. When he lightly caressed her breasts, her nipples blossomed in need. She stroked her hand down his hard chest, over his stomach. As she grazed over his growing bulge, she felt heat growing in her belly and rising through her body.

She wanted to tug out his big cock and swallow it down right now, then climb on top of him and glide it inside her.

A car engine started behind them, and reluctantly, she drew away from him.

“We really should be going. They’ll be waiting for us.”

Trey watched Jake and Danielle walk to the table where he was sitting with Suzie waiting for them. They had taken a long time to get here and Jake’s hand was resting on Danielle’s lower back as they walked together. Had they stopped for a quick intimate encounter on the way? Jealousy boiled up in him, but he realized they hadn’t taken that long getting here.

What the hell was wrong with him? Why did the thought of Jake spending time with Danielle . . . being intimate with Danielle . . . drive him crazy? After all, they’d been sharing the woman for weeks now.

Danielle sat down beside him and he breathed in the subtle herbal fragrance of her hair. He slid his arm around her and drew her close.

“Hi, sweetheart.” He kissed her, loving the feel of her soft full lips under his.

When they drew apart, he caught Suzie smiling at them. Jake’s expression, on the other hand, was unreadable.

“Suzie, would you like to dance?” Jake asked.

“I’d love to.”

Jake led Suzie to the dance floor. When he drew Suzie close to his body, his arm around her waist, a brotherly protectiveness rose in Trey. He was extremely conscious of Jake’s hand on his little sister’s lower back . . . of the way her body pressed against his . . . of the intimacy when he leaned in and murmured in her ear. Trey gritted his teeth. Maybe he should just—

“I think our role-playing is leaving Jake feeling a little left out.”

“Did you two do something about that on the way over here?” he asked a little too harshly.

She sent him a sharp questioning gaze. “No. Not really.”

But something about her tone made him think something had happened between them.

“You’re not really jealous of Jake and me, are you? Remember, I’m just pretending to be your girlfriend.”

Trey’s chest tightened. She was just pretending to be his girlfriend. Although he knew it was true, he now began to question everything. Did she have any real feelings for him? Had it just been about an exciting illicit sexual relationship with two men all along? He’d started having feelings for this woman . . . and more, he’d begun to believe she had feelings for him, too.

And what about her feelings for Jake? Would this whole relationship end up in a competition to win the girl. A competition that would end in the destruction of a friendship—more than a friendship—that had endured for almost sixteen years?

Danielle stepped out of the car in the parking lot by the campus center on Monday morning. The sun was shining but there were a few gray clouds on the horizon. She happily followed Trey and his sisters on a tour of campus, remembering her own time at Carleton Falls University. Tasha would have a great time here. She could spread her wings with confidence, knowing her older brother was close by if she needed support.

After an hour of walking around campus, they went to the campus center and stopped in the little café. After picking up their beverages at the counter, they sat down and relaxed for a few minutes.

“It’s eleven now,” Trey said, looking at his watch. He turned to Tasha. “We have a meeting with Dr. Gemina at noon. You can ask her about the different programs you might like to apply to.”

“It was great she agreed to spend time with Tasha,” Suzie said.

Trey smiled. “One of the perks of working at the university. Making great contacts to help your kid sister sort out her future.”

Tasha smiled, then took the last sip of her strawberry frappuccino. “I’d like to head to the bookstore now.”

Trey stood up, his coffee in hand. Danielle finished her tea as they walked past the other tables, and dropped her empty cup in the garbage near the door as they left the café.

“I’d like to buy another sweatshirt,” Suzie said. “The one I got last time is really comfortable, but it’s wearing out.”

“That’s here in the campus center store,” Danielle told her. “Do you want to stop there first?”
