You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

What the ever lovin’...

The entire mood shifts with Blake and—holy fuck—Aisha's arrival.

We were having such a good time.

Now it all feels like I was having the best dream ever only to wake up to my worst nightmare.

Spending the rest of tonight and tomorrow with Blake.

And fucking Aisha.

My hard on is long gone.

In fact.

I think my dick is trying its damnedest to shrivel up and pretend it doesn't exist just to get away from the conniving bitch that is Aisha.

Blake, I can handle.

He's a friend who I don't trust, but I know him.

He's familiar.

Aisha? Yeah we might've hooked up, but she's shady at shit.

I definitely don't trust her.

At all.

Blake glances over at Ryan and Sadie who are still cozied up together, though their expressions are wary as hell.

"Sorry we crashed your party.

It's okay that we showed up, right?"

Harper wraps her arm around mine, a warm smile on her face.

“Of course.

We're so glad you decided to come after all and brought a—guest with you.” I look down at Harper, the serene expression on her face.

Is she seriously welcoming them to my lake house like a damn hostess? She lifts her gaze to mine, her lips curled in a barely there smile and I see it.

The anger.

The mistrust.

Not at me.

At them.
