Too Close to My Best Friend’s Brother
We shouldn’t be doing this,” Nate said like he meant it.
But he didn’t move away.
All I wanted was a fresh start.
New city. New apartment. New version of me.
So when my best friend, Olivia, offered me a place in her brother’s building, I didn’t hesitate.
What I didn’t expect was Nate. Her older brother, my landlord, and a man who already belonged to someone else.
The kind of man who looks at you once and makes you forget every reason you shouldn’t want him.
I knew the rules.
I knew the risks.
I broke them anyway.
But desire has a price.
And mine came with a friendship on the line, a past that refused to stay buried, and pressure closing in from every direction.
The smartest thing I could’ve done was walk away.
The problem?
Nate had already made me forget how.
The moment we crossed the line,
everything I came here to rebuild was suddenly at risk.
