AIDEN

I didn’t sleep that night. I had Layla curled up against me, her body warm and her breathing even as a metronome. The moonlight was streaming through my curtainless windows, and I caught the down notes of the band playing at the bar across the street. How many nights had I spent sleepless, staring at the ceiling, listening to that bar’s live music? More than I could count. I’d never needed much sleep, and since the company got so busy, I needed even less.

I was tired now though. Bone deep weariness that came from being in an impossible situation. I’d crossed the line with Layla, but there was no way in hell I was going to cross back. It had been hard enough to resist her when I didn’t know what it would be like between us. Now I knew, and nothing was going to keep me from her.

Not even Jack.

The exhaustion moved into my bones. I’d have to tell him eventually. If this had been a one-time thing, maybe we could have gotten away with it, but it wasn’t going to be that.

    LAYLA I got away with wearing Aiden’s t-shirt with my jeans and blazer that first day. After that, we were more careful. I went to my place first to get a change of clothes, and then after a couple weeks, I began keeping things at his place. We were careful in other ways, too. Careful not to be alone together at the office, careful not to let our gazes clash for too long. It was easy enough during the workday—it was the happy hours, working dinners, and the last baseball game of the season that made things tricky. Inhibitions lowered. Stolen glances lingered for too long. More than once, we found ourselves sneaking off to find a place to be alone. Still, we got away with it. Liv and Bran were the only other two souls in the world that knew about us, and even Aiden didn’t know about that. I wanted to tell him, but he had been so adamant that we had to keep this a secret just between the two of us that I didn’t know how to tell him it wasn’t. I’d never been a particularly secretive p

    AIDEN I was late meeting Jack because Blake Morten had invited Layla to a charity ball being held by a wealthy fan in order to raise money for his foundation. He wasn’t inviting her as his date, he swore. He knew she was new and this would be a good chance to see more of his brand. Or so he said. “His brand is YouTube,” I said when Maureen–not Layla–mentioned it on our way to get our second cup of coffee on Monday afternoon. “She can see all of his brand that she wants without leaving her house.” My heart was pounding an ugly rhythm. Electricity had shot into the palms of my hands, and I’d curled my free hand into a fist instinctively. Then I shoved it in my pocket because Blake Morten wasn’t here to punch. “ItwasYouTube. Then he hired us to expand on it,” Maureen reminded me. She seemed distracted. I shot her a sideways look. I didn’t expect Maureen to feel the same defensive rage at the idea of our client trying to move in on one of our team members as I did. She wasn’t secre

    I swallowed uneasily, well aware I’d just made things worse. When this all came out–and it would all come out–Jack was going to remember that he’d sent me to New York City to protecthis daughter, when all along, I was the asshole he should have been worried about. But I’d painted myself into this corner, and when I did something, I did it well. There was no way out. “Then I’ll go, Jack.” I did my best to make my voice sound relaxed rather than placating. “No problem.”Finally, some of the tension eased out of his jaw. He picked up his beer again and took a long drink. When he set it back down, he looked like my old buddy Jack again. “Not like you have anything better to do, right?” he asked, half-joking, half-prying.“Nah, nothing better,” I agreed.“You don’t sound too worried about it.”“I got divorced for a reason, Jack.” I stretched my arms over my head and did my best to put off the impression of what I had been just a few months before–happily single, enjoying my bachelorhood. I

    LAYLAI sensed Aiden’s mood even before I saw his face. It was the way he moved when he came out onto the balcony. A stiffness in the set of his shoulders that was echoed in his face when he turned around. He lowered himself into the chair beside mine without kissing me first.I closed my book, keeping my finger between the pages to save my spot. I had a pretty good idea what this was about.Aiden didn’t waste time getting to the point. “You went around me.”“I went up the chain of command,” I countered. “I report to Maureen.”“I don’t give a damn who you report to at work. You went aroundme.” He bit off the words. “Not as your boss, but as your–whatever the fuck we’re doing is called.”“I think that about describes it,” I drawled, hoping to tempt him out of this fight. I dogeared the corner of my page and set it down beside my chair.Aiden wasn’t tempted though. Or amused. If anything, his face grew stormier. “If that’s all it was, I wouldn’t bother.”I stood up and slid into his lap

    Joe glanced at me, sensing for the first time that this news might not be as benign as he thought. “Um, yesterday?” He scratched his nose and eyed me, checking to see how that information went over. When my face darkened, he added, “Maybe. I don’t remember.”“Well I just talked to Maureen about it yesterday morning, so either it was yesterday or it was really early this morning,” I said evenly.“Yeah, it was probably yesterday.” Joe pulled an apologetic face. As if he were the one with something to apologize for. Then he wrapped up his uneaten egg sandwich and made a quick exit.I stayed in the break room for another few minutes, trying to get a handle on my anger. My tendency was to go with the emotion–let it swell and break and deal with the cause of it. I didn’t like to let things fester. This time, though, I really did try to tame it. I asked myself if I was being unreasonable–maybe this wasn’t actually Aiden treating me like a child. Maybe there was some way in which he could ask

    AIDENWhen I heard that Layla had gone home sick, I texted her.Are you going to my place? I’ll try to leave, too.She didn’t answer. I figured she’d take a nap, but hour by hour crawled by without a response. At lunch, I stepped outside and called her. It went straight to voicemail. I texted again, but I was starting to get the bad feeling that this silence had nothing to do with a cold or a nap.At four, I told Maureen I was leaving early.“You’d better not be sick, too,” she warned.“I’m not. I’ll be online.” I was too distracted to worry about whether she thought it was suspicious that I was leaving early.“What about the happy hour?”I’d already been walking toward the door, but now I pulled up short. I’d forgotten all about the damn happy hour. It wasn’t for anything in particular, just a monthly get together where I got face time with anyone who wanted it, and we patronized our favorite local bar. It wasn’t the most important thing in the world, but I tried to never miss it.“S

    “Layla went home sick. I’m just checking up on her.”Our footsteps echoed loudly on the uncarpeted steps. By mutual agreement, we’d both turned toward the stairwell rather than waiting for the dodgy looking elevator. Bran was ahead of me, and I thought I saw a ghost of a smirk on his face as he turned to go up the next flight. But all he said was, “Cool,” in a voice so indifferent I wondered if I’d imagined the smirk.Thanks to Bran, I didn’t have to knock. The door was propped open on its deadbolt because they were clearly expecting him. He walked in and gestured for me to follow.I’d never been inside Layla’s apartment. I’d only waited out front while she ran in to grab something. It was… fine. Not the kind of place I thought she should be leaving the door propped open, but it could be worse. It had style, even if I wasn’t impressed by the elevator or the security.“Layla,” Bran called. “Your boss is here.”Two voices came at once. An unfamiliar one that said, “I’m on a call!” and t

    LAYLAAiden and I were still careful at work, but we let our guard down outside of it. We went to dinner together on the other side of town, and once in a while, he even spent the night at my place now that he knew that Liv and Bran were in on the secret.Liv and Bran had their own secret they thought they were keeping, but Aiden and I were experts at this by now. We knew my brother didn’t really crash on the couch at the end of a long night, and we heard him on those nights he pretended to leave and then doubled back.It was nice to see my brother and my best friend falling for each other, even if it was kind of strange. I hoped that when he eventually found out about me andhisbest friend, my dad would feel similarly.“Don’t count on it,” Aiden said when I mentioned it one night. We’d driven across town to eat at a restaurant we figured was far away enough that no one we knew would be there. We were doing that more and more. It was starting to feel normal to be out with him in public

    “Mmm,” she bit her bottom lip and gripped the sink.“Don’t look away from the mirror,” I whispered in her ear. “I want you to see how much you love my cock tonight.”I lifted her ass higher and pressed myself inside her folds. She was wetter than usual as if her pussy was ready for this exact moment. It squeezed and pulled me all the way in before I could even think to tease her with the tip.A small gasp escaped her lips, “Jared!”“That’s it, baby girl.”I pressed myself deep inside her and looked at her in the mirror. The juices from her pussy glistened on her inner thighs. Her mouth moved into the shape of an “o” as she let out soft grunts of pleasure while I pumped inside of her. I moved one of my hands to the front and reached for her clit. She tightened around me and closed her eyes.“I said watch,” I slammed deep into her.She opened them again and let out another whimper.“This is your apology for me, remember?” I grabbed one of her hands and moved it to her clit. “Play with y

    "Now," I ordered.She jumped and stared at me for a moment before pulling her skirt down and tossing it to the side.I jutted my chin toward the sink. "Lean against that."She pushed her ass against the porcelain and spread her legs to reveal her already-soaked thong. I licked my lips and lowered myself between her legs. She shivered under my touch and stared at me with a hint of embarrassment."This can be the start of your apology."I pulled the thin cloth away and slid a finger between her folds, teasing her entrance. Her breath became ragged as she spread her legs wider for me. The scent of her made me want to taste the sweetness inside, but I held myself back. This was her punishment and my pleasure.“Please,” Kim moaned out.“Not yet,” I growled.I slid a finger in and curled it inside her. She grew wetter from my touch, which made me want her more. Keeping myself from fucking her now was just as difficult as it would be for her. I added a second finger, twisting and twirling th

    JAREDI paced around the foyer, trying to get ahold of myself. I had never exchanged that many texts in one evening with someone, let alone talked about fucking someone. It was exciting and filled me with a sense of youth I hadn't felt in a long time.With everyone suspecting something was going on, I couldn't chance us being caught another time. I made sure Jessica paid for our room under an alias, while I ordered the car to pick Kim up.I glanced at my watch. She should be pulling up soon, but I hadn't heard anything from her since I sent the location and sent the car to pick her up. I tried to not get anything too inconspicuous, but I also didn't need her coming here in an old car. A Mercedes was the perfect option and one of the only options out in the area that I could trust."Maybe she didn't understand the message," I muttered as I stared out my window. I could clearly see the front of the hotel from where I stood on the balcony. But if I saw an incoming car, I could make my wa

    Mandi leaned over to glance at my phone." So, who's the guy? You keep seeing him, but none of us know who it is."I shrugged, "Guess it'll remain a mystery."Mandi pouted and walked away to join the dancing again. I was thankful she managed to snag the entire club for us for the evening. I didn't want to know the cost, but it was well worth it to see everyone happy and not getting harassed all evening though I did miss Jared.Mmm I would kill to be there with you.We could always plan our own later.He wrote back quickly,I probably wouldn't be able to keep our clothes on long enough to dance with you.Oh?Again he wrote back right away, he was getting good at this texting!If I was there right now I'd make sure to claim you so everyone knew you belonged to me.I blushed and put the phone down. I wasn't expecting him to say that, but I also wasn't against it. My phone buzzed again with another message from him.You'd be begging me to take you as I continue to fuck you until the morning

    A single blue sedan pulled up to the front of the resort and we all crowded toward it before the driver could roll his window down."Please," Amanda gasped as she pushed to the front of the group. "Please tell me you're here for us."The driver picked up his phone, "Party for Amanda?""Yes!"A sigh of relief escaped all of us at once."There are others coming, right?"He narrowed his gaze and then pointed behind him, "Should be following me. Might be stuck at a red light."As he finished his statement, two other cars pulled up behind him. Each, the same shade of blue. I almost wanted to cry from joy at the thought of going into some nice air conditioning and prayed the sweat wasn't going to stick on me for the rest of the day.We all climbed into different cars at random. I chose the one closest to me to get out of the heat as quickly as possible and wipe the sweat away."Looks like you lot are planning a fun evening," the driver said and adjusted his rearview mirror to look at the ot

    KIMI splashed some water on my face and stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. Mandi was already asleep in the room, leaving me feeling sexually frustrated once again, and alone with my thoughts.“Fuck,” I grumbled.I had hoped after dinner to meet with Jared and enjoy a nice evening, but Mandi had drunk so much that I needed to stay here with her.“Kim!” Mandi shouted from her bed. “Where’d you go?” Her voice came out as more of a whine than anything.“I’m here,” I said with a sigh, and peeked out from the bathroom. “You doing alright there?”Mandi nodded and closed her eyes again, “Can you keep it down?” She groaned. “My head hurts.”There went my plan to at least relieve myself with music and the shower again. Nothing was going according to plan.I sat on the bed and unlocked my phone. The evening was the most fun I had in a long time and dad was right about one thing, if I wanted to keep my standards high, I would have to find a guy willing to spoil me, but also one I co

    Maurice turned to me and furrowed his brow, “I doubt this could be a common spoiling. Even that’s a little—“Before he could finish his sentence, the waitress walked over, “Thank you all for the wait. Would you all like something to drink?” She pointed at the wine menu in Kim’s hands.“I’m not too picky. What about you Kim?”She clicked her tongue and pointed at something on the menu, “Could I get a glass of this and a water?”The waitress nodded and wrote something on her pad before turning to the others.“Make her drink a bottle for the table,” I smirked at Kim and turned to Mandi. “I’ll cover our bill here.”The waitress didn’t argue with the request and left to gather everyone’s drinks.“You didn’t have to do that, dad.”I shrugged, “Maurice made a point that whomever she ends up with will need to spoil her here at least once. I need to make sure that bar stays high for Maurice’s sake.”The four of us continued to talk and enjoy the evening while the bride and groom sat at their o

    The rest of the day was fairly quiet with most of it taken up by me wandering around and enjoying the sun next to the pool. There weren’t many kids around, which kept the place quiet and calm outside of the occasional giggling couple running off to enjoy one another. It made me miss Kim even more now.My watch buzzed to let me know the rehearsal dinner was coming up. Another benefit of Jessica adding my entire itinerary to my calendar so I received notifications in advance now.Everyone gotin separate vehicles this time instead of the oversized vans. A compliment from Jessica I imagined after complaining about it to her. Though the driving service framed it as a wedding gift for everyone, so Mandi didn’t suspect it had anything to do with me.I sat in one vehicle with Maurice and another man I didn’t know, who stayed in the front of the car talking to the driver.“So are we sharing a giant table again for dinner?” I asked to break the ice between myself and Maurice.He shrugged, “They

    “No, I’ll head over there.”“Are you sure? I can call a car for you if you’d—““It’s walkable from here. Let me enjoy the nice weather. It’s been a while and I don’t need more attention brought to me. If Mandi knew the paparazzi were trying to squeeze their way out here, I’d never hear the end of it.”Jessica sighed, “If you say so, sir. Just don’t complain.”“Trust me, a walk is far better than being stuffed like sardines inside a van, with a bunch of men.”“I take it you’re not enjoying your vacation?” She typed away at something. “I can get your jet out there so you can go elsewhere for the rest of the week.”I chewed on the inside of my cheek, “No, let’s hold off on that. I might take you up on the offer later with a few extra passengers.”“The girl?”“We’ll see.”She let out a low hum then clicked her tongue, “Just let me know and I’ll have whatever you need taken care of as soon as I can.”“Thank you, Jessica. You’re great as always.”“You pay me to be that way.”I ended the cal
