Synopsis
Warning:
Sleeping with a friend might change your life forever.
Sleeping
with Kyle was never in the plans. Pretending to be his girlfriend was one
thing, but letting our relationship become anything but platonic was another.
The problem with mixing friendship with sex is that inevitably feelings get
involved, and when that happens there's no turning back.
When Kyle's life fell apart around him, I needed to help, but doing that meant opening myself up to the most terrifying thing in the world—falling in love.

Excerpt
“You already know I’m screwed up. That secret
got out of the bag when I invited you here.” There was something freeing about
that. I didn’t have to pretend to be put together for her anymore. Like it or
hate it, she now had a hint at how messed up my life was.
“Not
any more screwed up than me.” She smiled slightly.
“I
guess we’re a lot alike then.”
“I
guess so.” She gazed out at a spot somewhere in the distance.
“What
are you looking at?”
“Nothing.
Just looking.” A tear slid down her face.
Without
thinking I wiped away the tear.
She
turned to me with her wide brown eyes, and I didn’t think. I leaned in and
brushed my lips against hers.
Her
lips were soft and welcoming, and a single touch wasn’t enough. I started to
move my lips against hers, and she responded, giving me all the encouragement I
needed to deepen the kiss. She eagerly welcomed me into her mouth, letting me
explore every corner as her hands twisted in my hair. I wrapped my arms around
her, needing her closer than she could ever be.
I
couldn’t get enough of her taste, half sweet and half a minty flavor lingering
from her toothpaste. Her body felt so warm pressed against mine.
Finally
we broke the kiss.
She
stumbled back out of my arms. “Wow.”
“My
thoughts exactly.” I was probably grinning like an idiot.
“I
can’t believe we did that.”
“I
can. I’ve wanted to for a long time.” It was even better than I expected. She
was so responsive, and there was none of the usual first kiss awkwardness that
could sometimes ruin the moment.
“So
have I.”
“There’s
only one problem though.” I looked right into her eyes.
“And
what problem is that?” She raked her teeth over her bottom lip.
“I
want to do it again.”
“Then
do it.” She started into my eyes intently.
“Ok
then.” I leaned in. She didn’t need to tell me twice.
