I messed up—big time. Blurting out at a family dinner that my boss, neighbor, and best friend’s brother, Arnold, asked me to be his wedding date was not my finest moment. Mortified, I’m ready to apologize and smooth things over with his family, but Arnold? He’s not having it. Instead, he doubles down, proposing a wild plan: a fake relationship that suits us both.The deal? Three months of playing the perfect couple while my toddler and I live in his house, rent-free. In return, Arnold shields me from my toxic ex, and I help him dodge the town’s relentless matchmaking efforts. It’s the perfect arrangement—until the lines between fake and real start to blur.Arnold’s not just playing a role. He’s reading bedtime stories to my son, cooking us meals, and kissing me like the world might end if he stops. With every tender touch and stolen glance, he makes me feel seen, desired, in a way I’ve never known. The guestroom feels colder each night when his strong, tattooed arms are just down the hall, calling to me.As our forbidden kisses deepen, so does the risk. Are we crafting a love that could break us? Or are we building something breathtakingly real?

LAYLAOnce we’re inside the house, we’re swept up in a sea of hugs and greetings. There’s so much love and laughter filling the Brighton dining room that I quickly forget all about my discomfort.In fact, everyone seems to be in high spirits, reunited after the older Brighton generations were out of the country for so long.Nolan, Inez and Stella got here just in time, rambling that they almost couldn’t make it because of Inez’s busy acting schedule. It’s hard for her to plan ahead whenever she’s in the middle of filming a new episode of her TV show.Nicky is cuddled up to Ronan, after he’s been on the road playing hockey for a few days. They’ve been attached at the hip since the moment they walked in.Karli and Ziggy are chatting with Daphne about her wedding plans. Meanwhile Darius and Felix throw bread rolls at Mason’s head and earn dirty looks from their grandma.Yup. The Brighton siblings—or the Brighton Six, as I’ve always called them in my head—are up to their usual shenanigans

ARNOLD“Layla…” I grunt, my breaths coming hard and fast. “Fuck…”I drop my forehead against the wet tiles. My soapy fingers fist around my throbbing cock, giving it one furious jerk after the next after the next. My other hand squeezes my balls in a rhythmic pattern as cold water beats down on my back.I’m losing my mind. I’m going crazy. I’m coming apart.I want to touch her so bad. No matter how hard I try to stop myself, touching her is all I can think about these days.But Layla only feels sorry for me. She sees me as a pathetic old dude who spends his nights alone. When all I want is to spend my nights with her.On top of her. Beneath her. Inside her.Not gonna happen, fuckhead.Because what kind of asshole would I be if I came onto her right now? The worst kind.She’s in a vulnerable position. She just needs a safe place for her and her son as she figures life out. I’d be a predator to backher into a corner and take her like I want to. Especially under these circumstances.But

LAYLAI lift Sky out of the bath tub, pressing a kiss to the top of his head as I wrap him in a fluffy towel.His little mouth opens wide on a yawn that is way too big for his tiny body.I can tell that today was a long day for him. I know he’ll be out like a light the second his head touches the mattress.“We say ‘excuse me’ when we yawn,” I remind my baby boy.“‘Scooseme,” he mimics, bringing a smile to my face. He rubs his eyes with his fist. “Go night-night, Mommy?”“Yes, sweetie. We go night-night.”Laying him on the cozy bed in Arnold’s guest bedroom, I sing a lullaby to him as I rub lotion on his chunky thighs. When I gently tickle the bottoms of his feet, his innocent laughter reminds me of how grateful I am to be his mother. Life may seem like an eternal string of rough patches these days, but Sky is the silver lining that makes it all worth it.I get him dressed in his adorable forest-patterned pajamas. Then I give him a soothing tummy rub as I read him one of his board book

ARNOLDToday’s been a slow day here at Hammers and Hardware. On the bright side, it’s given me time to tackle my unending to-do list.I’ve spent most of the afternoon up on a ladder, finally taking down the Christmas ornaments and replacing blown light bulbs. My employees have kept themselves busy with dusting and organizing and arranging the merchandise around the store.Between ringing up the occasional customer, Layla’s been restocking the candies and candles on display at the front. And I’ve been trying my best to keep from getting a boner every time my eyes land on her.She sings along with the radio, wiggling her shoulders and subtly shaking her hips. I can tell that she’s holding back the ‘big moves’ but even still, she’s sexy as hell. My head travels back to the night of my birthday party when she was dancing with me.As fucked up as it sounds, I’d give my left foot for a legitimate reason to hold her in my arms like that again.I stop my thoughts in their tracks.I promised m
