I blinked a few times, refusing to believe the image I was seeing right in front of me, but after opening my eyes and the image still didn’t change, realization slowly dawned on me that Zane was really right here in Gregg’s sitting room.

My legs wobbled again and it felt like I might faint from the amount of shock I was feeling right now.

“How are you here?” I managed in a weakened voice just as Gregg came up beside me, a pleasant grin on his face.

“I forgot to mention that I invited him as well.” He breathed out, then his eyes met mine and I instantly saw that he did this on purpose, especially after he said the same thing to Zane who instantly assured him it was no biggie.

‘I swallowed emptily, my heart pounding away in my chest as my eyes briefly darted over to Zane, then back at Gregg who had a knowing glint in his eyes. “You don’t mind, right? I assumed that it would be alright since you both spent almost a week together in Italy last week.” He drawled, eyes daring between Zane and myself.

I felt tongue tied, but I quickly tried to collect myself together now that I realized that Gregg did this on purpose to probably get the two of us to spill or something.

“I- don’t mind. We’re both cool.” I uttered in a clear voice that felt whiny and shaky to my own ears as I finally stepped into the sitting room.

If Zane was thrown off by my unexpected appearance, he didn’t indicate. Smooth as usual, he dropped the gaming console and easily rose to his full height, then he held a hand out.

“Hey Addison.” He breathed out in that low timbre of his that had my insides quaking at once. As I stared at him right now, all that was rushing into my mind was two nights ago whereby I had a wild night with him.

I swallowed emptily as I accepted the handshake, feeling a shiver course through me as his large hand swallowed mine up. “Hi, Zane.” I responded in a calm voice. My stomach clenched tightly with a rush of desire when our eyes locked and I quickly averted my gaze on remembering that we weren’t alone and that my evil best friend was watching us closely right now.

“You been good?” He gruffed, his hand still enveloping mine and that had my heart beating faster cause his thumb dragged over my knuckles for a moment as he kept staring down at me.

I nodded awkwardly, while wondering how he’s able to smoothly act like we didn’t just fuck two nights ago.

“Uh, yeah, I have.” I managed to respond after a few members. The air felt tense with desire between us, and I shivered when his eyes swept over my entire body in a brief moment. I hadn’t put in a lot of effort into my outfit today cause I never had to dress up for Gregg, but now I was regretting that. I was presently in sweatpants and a large hoodie, and now I was wondering if he still found me attractive like I do him right now. But I wasn’t even supposed to be concerned about that anymore, not after promising myself after the last night we spent together that it was gonna be it.

“So…” At the sound of Gregg’s voice, I hurriedly pulled my hand away from his grip and whirled around to
