"Let's take a shower," I said. I could feel her legs moving between mine. "Why?" I smiled, because I had a feeling that she was wor-ried about smelling in between the sheets. That wasn't the reason for my asking."We had quite a heavy session last night. I just want to be clean.""It's morning already?"I laughed, "It's afternoon," as I showed her my watch."But I need to go. I can't stay here another night."I kissed her delicately on the cheek and said, "Yes, you can.""The next thing you know, there'll be reporters downstairs and then it'll get out. They'll be a scandal, then I'll lose my job and...""Calm down. Reporters don't follow me every-where I go. Besides, I thought we could freshen up and get something to eat. There's nothing wrong with that." She sighed, thinking about it for a split-second. "Besides, I wasn't sure whose stomach was making all the noise? If it was yours or mine?" She laughed as she rubbed her stomach, making it clear that she was

We were exhausted after having so many sex ses-sions in one night. I lay in his arms and didn't want to move; I felt as if it was exactly where I wanted to be at this precise moment in time. "I don't want to get up," I sighed as I stretched out my arms and pulled him in tighter. "Let me call room service, and Sophia too.""Why Sophia?"I lifted up my head and saw a big smile across his face. "Emma, I have you now; I'm not letting you go. We'll head home together.""Oh!"I put my head against his chest as he stretched over and picked up the phone. His words took me aback, it was as if he was claiming me and I'd given him permis-sion to do so. How did one night change everything that we'd held onto for so long?His attraction to me was there from when he had been a kid, but now he was a man that just happened to be my best friend's brother, and I was supposed to be his doctor. Everything felt so wrong, but at the same time it all felt so right. "Sophia, Emma's co

I was on the plane with the guys. Usually, we would be laughing and cheering about our weekend in Vegas. But this time we all had something different on our minds. I had Emma sitting two seats behind me with Sophia, who the previous day had come up to our room and said that she'd managed to change the flights so that we could all go back together. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I wanted to spend time with Emma. Not them. Mason was next to me and he was quiet as a mouse. My best friend was screwing my sister and it should have bothered me. There was a code, and a line had been crossed, but now just didn't feel like the time to discuss it. I had gone from wanting to be on my own to being with Emma and finally realizing how lonely I'd been all the time. Sure, I had people round me. I sometimes called my mom every hour to make sure she was okay until eventually she turned her phone off. I felt lost. One minute I had been with Emma sur-rendering myself to her and the next

As soon as we got to her place, Sophia invited me to come in. Just what the doctor had ordered. As I walked down her hallway I looked at my phone. There was a message from Sebastian and my heart skipped a beat. I thought for a minute that he would regret the way we had parted and want to say something more. Don't forget about my check-ups!Seriously, the man had gone from someone who didn't want to be examined to being obsessed in the space of minutes. Men!"Your brother drives me mad!" I screamed out as she passed me a glass of wine. It was a bit too early in the evening to be drinking, but the way I was feeling, I couldn't even think about telling her to take away the glass. I needed to get rid of this feeling right now."Steady on!" She laughed as she watched me fin-ish the glass in one go and then put it on the table. "I'm not giving you another glass if you want to get drunk.""Sophia why is your brother such a prick?"She shook her head and said, "About that. D

"Hey little bro, how you feeling?" Sophia smiled as she walked into the room. That was the thing about my big sis; she always had a smile on her face. No matter how I was feeling, she had a way of making me feel bet-ter. "So-so." I tried to wave my hand, but between the blood tests, radiography and everything else that Emma had organized for them to do today, I was exhausted. "That good, huh?"I nodded. "Where's Emma? I've been looking for her every-where.""Dunno.""Oh," she said sadly. "So, did you guys talk?" I shook my head. "Well, I think that you guys should talk."She was the fixer, the one that tried to solve every-one's problems. I used to wonder as a kid if she had some magic wand that hid how she was really feeling inside. She must have felt sad occasionally. No one could be happy all the time. Or maybe I took all the miserable genes and she had only the happy genes. Sheryl stepped in and my heart skipped a beat. Part of me had hoped that it was
