Letting My Brother's Best Friend Take My V-Card

CHAPTER 5 JESS I must have had a stroke because, for a second there, I thought Luke Blackwood was offering to take my virginity. I swallowed hard and dared to look up at him. He was serious, and he was waiting forto answer. I couldn't form words.

In my head, it made sense. I felt nothing for him. I knew it would be safe, and hell, I knew it would be good. He probably has a lot of experience. I nodded once, and his eyes sparked.

I stood still, waiting for him to make a move, but he didn't. He letgo and stepped back. I felt the loss of his heat immediately.

"I'm taking you home. "He said firmly, and confusion hit me.

"What? I thought... You just said?" I stammered, embarrassment blooming across my chest.

Tears prickled my eyes, and I spun around as fast as possible to make a run for it. I barely reached the door when Luke cup behindand pushedagainst it. His warm body flush with my back. His hips grinding against my ass, and his hard-on makes itself very known.

His arm snaked across my waist and pulledback against him. I closed my eyes and breathed.

"I said I'll do it. But when I take your virginity - you will feel 14:10 M CHAPTER 11 288 Vouchers everything. Remember everything, Jessica. Luke dragged his arm away from my waist and stepped back, allowingfreedom.

"No guy touches you. It will be me. Do you understand?" His voice was rough and grated against my ear, but I found myself nodding, and he stepped off.

My hand hovered over the door handle and just when I was about to open it, someone else was opening it. Luke slammed the door shut so fast I gasped.

"Luke! Dude! Con! Who are you fucking in there!?" It was Josh.

Josh was outside the door.

"Man. Get lost! I'm busy!", Luke called back, and I heard Josh chuckle to himself, and then nothing. I was breathing so fast! felt dizzy. I spun around and Luke was pinching the bridge of his nose again. "If I do this -Josh can't know. Your brother - he would fucking kill me." If only Luke knew - Josh would killbefore he kills him.

*** Saturday morning was basically the worst. The sunlight was blinding, and the birds were chirping like they were trying to drill a hole into my brain.

Jess, get your ass out of bed before I have to cin there and drag you out!" Laura yelled, pouncing onto the bed and sendingtumbling into a stomach-dropping panic..

14 100 CHAPTER 5 "Laura, no... nó... no... just... no," I groaned, my gut churning like a washing machine on a spin cycle.

But then, salvation: the heavenly aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted in, and I was suddenly alert and semi- human again.

I poked my head out from under the covers, bleary-eyed, and spotted Sam holding up three cappuccinos like they were trophies. I flailed my arm out, demanding one. "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" Sam laughed, holding out a cup. "Ah, she's alive! And so are her caffeine cravings." I glared at her, but she just chuckled and handedthe coffee. I took a grateful sip, feeling my senses slowly cback online.

Both of them got comfortable on my bed, and I tried my best to get vertical-it wasn't going so well.

"You didn't eat, did you? We had two bottles of champagne!" Laura scolded me, but I ignored her; my head was about to explode. "Softer, please.

"So, did you do it?" Laura asked Sam who had turned the color of her hair. Biting her lip, she nodded and started giggling.

"I did. I'm done. Box ticked! I am no longer a virgin. Sguy named Kevin now proudly holds my V-card." Sam said with her head held high.

I wanted to slink back under the covers. I failed. I failed miserably, and the worst part was that I wasn't drunk enough to at least forget it. CHAPTER 5 Rejection tasted so much worse the next day.

"What about you?" Sam asked Laura, but she shook her head. "He was sweet and all, but we just ended up talking the whole night, and I don't know... I think I like him." Laura chewed on her nails.

"No! Con! We had a deal!" Sam whined and looked at me. "Tellyou did it?" I shrugged, sipping my cappuccino. "Sorry, Sam. I tried, but the first guy was too drunk, and the second guy..." I stopped talking immediately.

What was I going to say - Luke offered to take my virginity, but I needed to be sober.

"Go on? The second guy?" Laura pressed, and I groaned, slapping a hand over my eyes.

"Luke pulled the drunk guy off me, and that was it. End of the party for me." I kept the whole -offering to be my first- part to myself.

"What? Luke pulled him off you?" Sam's jaw dropped. "Like THE Luke Blackwood, the best linebacker in the state, pulled a guy off you?" She squeaked, and I cringed.

"He just did it because my brother would have lost his shit if sdrunk guy got his way with me. I wasn't supposed to be at parties, remember? He probably just helpedas a favor for my brother or something. We hate each other." I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. No matter how many times I repeat those three words - when I CHAPTER 1 close my eyes, all I see is his mouth, inches away from mine His clenched jaw. I can feel the ridge of his....

"Bummer! What a cockblock, Laura joked, and Sam started laughing first.

Laura doesn't say things like cock so it was strange coming from her.

"Are you seeing the art guy again, at least?" I asked, feeling a little more alive.

Laura nodded. "Yeah, we're going out on Friday. I might need to borrow another one of your niecas dresses.

frowned. "If you like him, he needs to see the real you, Laura "I will. Just as soon as he takes my V-card..." Laura trailed off, staring out the window. "Con, guys. It's hot outside. Let's go be lazy next to the pool."

I shook my head and pulled the opvers back over my head, but they wouldn't have any of it Laura flung off the shests, and Sam threw a bathing suit at me. "Fine! But you guys are getting snacks."

We spent the entire afternoon being lazy next to the pool. I avoided the water because Eknew it would soberup: I was still convinced I had champagne in my bloodstream. "Jess, we're gonna go get burgers. Want to cwith?" Sam cocked her head, judging my appearance.

"I'll wait for you guys! Getfries, please. I'm starving," I groaned, flipping over to my back and dropping an arm across CHAPTERS my face to block out the sun.

I must have dozed off for a bit because when I opened my eyesn Laura and Sam were hovering above me, Casting long shadows on the pool deck and givingthe chills, "Hey, get out of my sun, you guys," I groaned, pulling my arm away to sit up. But when I looked up, it wasn't Laura or Sam standing over me.

It was Luke, and in typical Luke fashion, he looked furious.
