Crushing on Best Friend's Sister: A Bad Boy Romance Page 6


  When she realized that I wasn't going to follow her into the bedroom, she made a disparaging sound and then went into it. I was glad that I got the suite where there was at least a bedroom door. Then when she got mad, she could corral herself in there and I wouldn't have to deal with it.

  “Trouble in paradise?”

  “It was never a paradise. I and Mona won't last much longer. I don't know why I brought her here.”

  “Well, we don't have time to worry about your love life. We have to destroy my sister’s.”

  I don't know what it was. But the way he said it made me feel even worse. Was this really something that we should do?

  I asked him the same question and he just kind of shrugged his shoulders. “What else can we do?”

  “I don't know Phillip, but there has to be a better way than her waking up to these pictures on her phone.”

  “You tell me a better way and I will go with it.”

  “Why don't I just go over there in the morning and be straight up with her? She's not going to listen to you, but maybe she'll listen to me.”

  “Fine, try it your way, but if she doesn't get it, then you need to show her the pictures. I will hold off on sending them to her, but you need to put your alarm on. Seven o'clock. If I haven't heard from you by eight, I'm going to send them through. Deal?”

  I agreed, but I still felt like I was making a deal with the devil. And I was doing his work.

  The only problem with the scenario was, I did not know who the devil was, me or Phillip. I had a feeling that it was a bit of both.

  Chapter 14

  Amber

  The doorbell was going off and I didn’t even care what it was for. It was too early, something I decided when I looked outside and saw that the sun was barely up. Whoever was here, needed to go away because it was too damn early for this. I didn't even want to get out of bed, but I knew that I was going to have to. No one else was in the house that I knew of. Phillip never came home last night, and I figured that he was out running around with Jesse.

  I was supposed to be getting married today and the man I was supposed to marry was not the first person that I thought about. I don't know what that said about me.

  Finally, I had to push myself out of the bed. I didn't want to. I wanted to snuggle back into the blankets and try to get some sleep. I don't know if it was because I was actually tired, or if I was just trying to prolong the inevitable. When I was asleep, I didn't have to worry about anything. I didn't have to think about one guy or another. I didn't have to do any of that.

  I threw a robe on over a pair of underwear and a bra. I didn't even like to wear that, but I had been so exhausted last night, I went to bed without taking my bra off. Now, I started to pad down the stairs to see who was at the door.

  I don't know who it was going to be, but I knew that they weren’t going to be so happy to see me like this. It was way too early and good news never came this early in the morning. This time of day was for bad news only.

  When I got to the door, I could see a silhouette in the frosted glass, and I knew almost immediately who it was. All I could ask myself was, what in the world was Jesse doing here. It was the morning of my wedding and he shouldn't be here.

  I opened the door and I will admit that I had a bit of an attitude. I couldn't believe that he was here and I was ready for a battle. Jesse liked to argue and if he thought that I shouldn't marry Steven, then I would imagine that's what he was here for. He was going to tell me how he felt, whether I wanted to hear it or not, because that’s just how he was.

  “What are you doing here Jesse?”

  “Good morning to you too, Amber. You really do need to work on your first impressions.”

  “It's really early. What do you want? I have a lot of things to do today and I want to get a little bit more sleep before I start.”

  “Right, you're going to marry the man of your dreams today. Every girl's fantasy.”

  There was a hint of bitterness in his words and I wondered where it was coming from. It wasn't like something that had been sprung on him. He knew what was about to happen, but now he acted like he wasn't prepared for it.

  “Yes, I'm getting married in a few hours. Are you coming?”

  “Of course, I am. You're my best friend’s little sister.”

  “Is that what I am?”

  I don't know why I asked that question, but it was something that I really wanted to know. Was that all I ever was to him?

  “No, I think you know better than that Amber I told you that many times, but you are hard headed, and I don't know how else to convince you.”

  “Maybe you just haven't tried hard enough.”

  Jesse had this look on his face for a moment and I could tell that he was unsure what to do next. I knew what I wanted him to do, but I was trying my best to keep it together.

  “I wish that I could do that Amber. I could think of a lot of better ways to convince you that what you are doing is a mistake but there is something that I have to tell you. I hate to come over this early, but it needed to be now. It needs to be before you walk down the aisle.”

  The feeling in the room changed completely and now he had my attention. What was he talking about?

  “Okay fine, you have my attention, so spill it.”

  “Well, you know that we took him out to the bachelor party last night, right?”

  “By him you mean Steven?”

  He agreed and hesitated again. I wanted to ask him what was going on, hurry him along because I didn’t like the feeling of waiting to see, but I didn’t. I just waited him out to tell me what was so important that he had to come over here at five in the morning, on my wedding day. It was going to be something big.

  “So, I got to know your finance a little bit better and I question how well you know him.”

  “What kind of thing is that to ask Jesse? Of course, I know him very well. What are you getting at?”

  “I'm getting at the fact that he was acting like a man-slut at the titty bar last night.”

  “Isn't that what you're supposed to do?”

  “Not like this Amber. I don't think you should even have sex with him before he gets checked out. It was that bad.”

  I don't know why, but I knew it was coming. There was no other logical thing that could have shown up that would bring him here this early in the morning. I don't know if it was better or worse to hear this all from him. Why did it have to be Jesse that told me?

  “How can I believe you? It wouldn't be the first time that you've lied to me, Jesse.”

  “I wouldn't lie about this Amber. I promise you that I would not be here if I didn't think that you should know. This wasn't something that I would ever condone.”

  “So, what are you telling me, that I should leave him?”

  “What you do with the information is up to you. But if you don't believe me, I can show you proof. I would rather not do that though.”

  I put my hand up and shook my head. The last thing I wanted to do was see it.

  “You can keep those pictures for your own thing. I don't really want to see it.”

  “So, what do you want to do?”

  “I just want you to go away.”

  He moved a little closer and sat down next to me on the couch. I didn't even realize that I had sat down, but I guess the information was too much for me to take standing up. My knees were starting to get a little weak and I knew it was because of what Jesse just told me. I wasn't shocked though. I wasn't feeling like I was betrayed very badly. I didn't really feel anything.

  It now gave me an excuse to end what I wanted to end. It took away the guilt that I felt before, when I was trying to figure out how I was going to tell him. I don't really know at what point I decided that I wasn't going to actually get married, but that's how I felt. However, this was going to turn out, I knew that it was going to all end the same way. I was not going to walk down the aisle today.

  “Do you really want me to leave Amber?”


  It was such an innocent question, but I knew the answer was not near innocent. I should have told him to leave because it was inappropriate for him to be here. Especially if I was going to not get married today. It would look like there was something going on between us.

  But did I want something to go on between us?

  “What happens if you stay Jesse?”

  “I think you know it will happen Amber. However, it is a decision that you're going to have to make. You know how I feel about you and I don't think that's ever going to change. Now you have to decide.”

  He was putting the ball in my court, but I didn't know how to play. Things were never simple with Jesse and that had not changed. I was worried about the future, but knew that he could take away all of the pressures of the past. Jesse had a good way of making nothing else matter, but the moment we were in.

  “I don't want you to leave.”

  A sly smile crossed his face and he moved his hand to the side of my face and pulled me towards him. I knew almost immediately; I was in trouble. This was exactly what I had wanted, even though it was impossible for me to be honest about it. This was what I needed. His hands on mine and his lips coming towards me.

  Before I knew what happened, Jesse was covering me with his body and pressing me into the cushions below. Everything was happening so fast, but I didn't want to slow it down. With Jesse, I learned a long time ago to just hold on and go along for the ride.

  Chapter 15

  Jesse

  I knew that I was going to have to take this moment, even if it was given to me because she was feeling vulnerable. I had just delivered news that wasn’t easy to get through. I knew that and I knew that her submission to my baser needs had something to do with that.

  I should have cared, but I couldn’t make myself care enough not to crush her underneath my body and flick my tongue inside of her mouth. It was just something that I wanted far more than I could have imagined.

  Amber made this small, moaning sound that really set my need on fire. I wanted to make her sound like that for the rest of my days. There was so much that I’d forgotten and the power of her whimper inside of my ears, was certainly one of them.

  Her body squirmed underneath me and she had the softest look of trust on her face than I could have imagined. I wanted her, needed her and I was finally going to get my wish.

  I had to shut my brain off, because I was still staring down at her moments later, and Amber was getting restless. I had made many promises about pleasures and what I would do to her, now I was going to have to show her.

  My lips moved to her neck and she tossed it to one side, so that I was able to lick and suck all the way down to her shoulder. The robe was coming off slowly from her shoulder and I helped it along its way. The only thing that was impeding my movement was a bra strap. Even the lacy, white strap that was so delicate in touch, was too much for me to have to go through and I was pulling it down her arm in no time.

  Her skin was soft and supple. I was unable to keep my hands off of her, as much as I wanted to. I needed her and I had to slow myself down more than once. I didn’t want to muck it up, but my enthusiasm was hard to combat.

  I pulled back and looked down at her disheveled hair and the naughty smile on her face. “What’s the matter, Jesse?”

  She was breathing hard and so was I. My body was crying out for her and I stood up to help that along and to take my clothes off. Amber watched with thinly veiled desire and I was only able to pull them off moments before I was back down on top of her.

  Amber was left in a robe that didn’t want to be a part of the problem and the more she wiggled around, the more I could see of her.

  “I can’t believe that we’re finally going to do this after so long. You would not believe how much I have thought about it in the past.”

  “I have thought about it for a long time as well Amber. You were always someone that I wanted, but I could never have.”

  “You can have me now.”

  That was all the prodding that I needed. I wasn’t going to be able to hold back much longer and the go-ahead was really what I needed to hear. I had played it out in my head and didn’t want to be sideswiped later. She was mine, really and truly.

  I moved over her body and felt her shift underneath me. She felt perfect, too perfect as I laid back on top of her on the couch. I was nervous for a moment, but only because I was too into this and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to hold back like I wanted to. I wanted to be in control, but that was something that I’d felt slipping for some time.

  The panties that stood in my way were taken off rather quickly and I looked down at the lustful smile on her face. I was silently asking her if she was ready. Her legs lifted up and wrapped around my waist. That was as good of an answer as I was going to get. There was nothing else that I wanted to hear anyways.

  Lifting her legs, a little bit higher, I positioned against her and pushed deep and slow. Her eyes rolled back in her head and there was a slow, moaning sound coming from between her lips. It was the sweetest sound that I could have imagined and I was lost in the moment. Any bit of control that I had still possessed was now gone. There was no breaking away from it.

  “Don’t hold back Jesse. You don’t have to be gentle with me.”

  Her words made me dive forward as hard as I could. I wanted to test that theory and she made the sweetest sound of need and pleasure that I could have imagined. I wanted her to feel as good as I did, but then it didn’t matter. Her pleasure would come as a byproduct of my own. I knew how this worked.

  I slid deeper and faster than before, picking up my pace as her cries of pleasure got higher. It was all I could do to keep it together as she exploded around me and her insides tightened up. I was past the breaking point and the last wave of convulsive squeezes around me, and I was no longer able to think straight.

  My groan was deeper and close to a growl. I usually didn’t make any noise, but this was the sort of lovemaking feelings that made it impossible not to say anything. It was all too much and I finally pulled out, in fear that I wouldn’t be able to stop.

  Her small hands were on my chest and I was looking down at her spent body. We were on the couch and I would have chosen somewhere better for us to be.

  “Why don’t we go upstairs to your bedroom?”

  I wasn’t done with her, and she blushed when she got a clue of what I was saying. There was a moment of indecision, but her eyes landed on my hard length and she changed her mind.

  Amber took my hand and I led her upstairs for more of the same. I wanted to take more time though. I had been so rushed that I had made it all just happen so quickly.

  She was quiet and a little shy when we got upstairs. I knew that I had gone a little overboard and I had to take my time for a while. Amber wanted to be treated gently and she deserved that. I wanted to give her what she needed.

  I made sure to lick and taste every inch of her, before I entered her again. It was almost excruciating to wait even a few more moments, but so worth it at the end, when I was able to sink down inside of her.

  I’d forgotten all about what day it was and what the main mission was that I was here for. All I cared about in that minute, was the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to walk away from this. I had jumped in head first and I was hopeful, but unsure if I was ever going to make my way back up again.

  There was no coming back from this.

  Chapter 16

  Amber

  The doorbell started ringing again and then there were repeated knocks on the door. It was much in the same way that I’d woken up a few hours earlier, but at least now the sun was up, and the sunshine was pouring in from the windows. I didn't know what time it was, but I knew what time it was getting close to.

  I looked over at Jesse and I could see that he was still out for the count. The man was amazing, and I blushed a little bit thinking about what had transpired between us. It was not for the faint at heart.

  “Why
don't you go get the door?”

  I tried to shake him awake, but he just waved me away. I had not thought about what was going to happen when I had to face not just Steven, but everyone else that was supposed to be attending the wedding. I was worried about nothing, until I got closer to the door and realized that I was going to have to tell other people too.

  “Hey, sis.”

  My brother strode right past me and I didn't get to say a word in edgewise. Phillip never really did understand the rules of civilization. He went by his own rules and sometimes they could be a little distracting.

  “Hey, Phillip. What are you doing?”

  “I sent Jesse over here a little while ago and he was supposed to contact me, but he never did. Is he still here?”

  It was then that I realized what was actually happening. My brother was standing here, and his best friend was upstairs naked in my bed. That was not going to turn out well if he found out. Here I was trying to wake Jesse up for him to answer the door, but I hadn't even been thinking. So worried about the wedding and all the nonsense that came with canceling, that I hadn't even thought about how wrong it was for us to be together. Phillip was not going to take this well.

  “Um, I don't know. I just took a nap. He told me some things that were a little bit hard for me to wrap my head around. There was some crying and I don't know. This has been a lot to take on Phillip. You can understand, that right?”

  “Of course, I can. This is complete bullshit. I can't believe that Steven is stupid enough to do what he did.”

  “And you were there when all this was going on?”

  “Yeah, but I tried to talk some sense into him. I didn't know what to do. You know that I don't like most of your boyfriends, but I really was trying. It is for the best that you have called it off.”

  My brother was being condescending as hell, but I tried to ignore it. I needed to, for the simple fact that I wanted him to leave. He needed to go so that Jesse could get out of here. I don't know how I was going to explain that if I had to.
