“When the hell did you speak to Miles?” Colin asks, now more concerned than he is whenever we’re about to lose a game.
Lily shrugs. “I don’t know. That one time on campus. He said Sofia and I wouldn’t have to watch Brooke during practice because Emory would have her.”
“And you proceeded to talk beyond that?Mi sol, he’s ready to jump your bones.”
“He is not,” Lily and I say in unison. Miles wouldn’t ever go for a dude’s girlfriend. Especially not his best friend’s girlfriend.
“Besides, I am pretty sure he has a crush on Emory.”
I slide a hand down my face, muffling a laugh whereas Colin lets his slip out like it’s nothing.
“Lils, MilesloathesEmory.”
Lily’s nose wrinkles. “Then how come she’s always around. Well, not always, but I see them together a lot. And she does get mentioned a hell lot of times.”
“Emory is Brooke’s aunt. Millie’s sister.”
“Twinsister,” Colin corrects. “And they dated once before him and Millie did, so she’s also his ex-girlfriend.”
And here I thought my love-life was complicated and pitiful.

“Leon has been walking aroundwith that smug smile all fucking morning. It’s like he knows I know he’s planning on ruining my birthday all over again,” Sofia says, plopping back down onto the bed right after her shower.
Colin and Lily both have been ordered to stay in the guest room until either Sofia’s parents or I come to get them. Until then, they’re supposed to stay quieter as a mouse. Since we finished decorating before Sofia woke up, I managed to sneak back into bed to make it look like I’ve been there all this time.
I must have fallen asleep though, because when I woke up again, Sofia was gone, and I could hear the shower across from her room running.
Well, and now she’s back here… in just a towel, lying down on her bed right next to me.
My cock is almost jumping out of my pants seeing her half naked andknowingit’d only take one slip-up and she would be lying here in all her naked glory.
Rolling over onto my side, I just look at Sofia for a whole minute, admiring her beautiful side profile before I find words to say. “He won’t succeed though.”
“How would you know? My parents didn’t even say happy birthday to me when I passed them in the kitchen.”
I need to press my lips together to refrain from smiling. Obviously, I know why they haven’t. No, I promise you, this is not some kind of “We’ll pretend to forget it’s her birthday” kind of bullshit. Maybe some form of it.
“Well, miss birthday girl…” Once again, I roll over, but this time to be on top of her, holding myself up with my arms. She shrieks a little, followed by laughter when I kiss up her cleavage, over her neck until my lips attack hers like I was deprived of her mouth.I sure was.
“Happy Birthday,” I whisper in between kisses, over and over again. At least five times, I swear, but only because I can’t bring myself to stop kissing her. Slowly, I kiss my way down again, before I suddenly get up, turn her around slightly and pull her to the edge of the bed.
Kneeling in front of her, I nudge her legs apart and reach my hands up to her towel. I keep my eyes on hers as Sofia props up on her arms, looking down at me with a lust-filled gaze. “Want my present for you now or later?” I ask, smirking.
“Nowandlater?”
My heart does a little backflip, threatening to jump out of my chest. “Let’s see what we can arrange.”
I pull on one side of the towel, unwrapping Sofia like she’smypresent. And thinking about it, she really is.
My breath goes lost in my lungs when one half of her body is revealed to me, and it stops when I lift the other side as well, exposing her faintly flushed skin to me entirely. My God, she really is the most beautiful person I have ever seen.
Our eyes meet, a thought passing between us that seems impossibly intimate, yet not intimate enough to make it something too deep. For a moment, I just stare into her eyes, feeling but not acknowledging the corner of my lips tugging upwards into a soft smile.
