But this feeling is different It’s like poison indesire I have for Lia I know they’re brothers I know that this is all fake, but the way my hips instinctively buck to find Asher’s, and the way his hard length strains beneath his jeans, adding pressure in all the right places, it all feels too real

“That’s fine too” My voice cracks and Asher smirks The desire to kiss him and see how far he’ll walk the line bethat’s allowed and what’s not is strong Too strong

Asher grins, but his jaw is tight A dark chuckle vibrates in his throat as he retreats to his side of the couch I biteI cannot be falling in like with Asher

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you liked that”

I roll my eyes and push myself off the couch I’m in trouble Deep, deep trouble if Asher can unravel me like that with a siret “Don’t be ridiculous I’et ready Give me about twenty minutes and we can leave”

“Oh, osh!” I yell over the music alk into the party I don't knoho’s house we’re at, but it’s big and filled with people Dozens of cars are haphazardly parked in the front yard and a quarter of the way down theboth sides This house, it’s too ostentatious to belong to anybody we know I mean, it

has pillars on the front porch Colonial style pillars! In Florida! Whoever lives here, they’ve got that fuck-you-money

My fingers tangle with Asher’s as he leads me deeper into the house He’s obviously been here before because he has no trouble navigating his way through the lance up at hihtly jealous of the confidence Asher radiates I want to hide inside e people, but he seems at home here

Asherto bubble inside ers and wraps his ar pressure in er to transition Asher from jerk to friend in my mind Tothat happened between us the last few years is a fading nightmare and I’ve woken to the man Asher was always meant to be

But then my stomach drops when I spot Lia about what Asher and I are doing is fake I s irlfriend I took the title everyone wanted but never got
