Chapter Fourteen

Sydney

To say Sydney was using Scarlet was a bit harsh. It’s what he kept telling himself. Scarlet was in full agreement that their arrangement was lighthearted and free of any obligations or need for explanations. No promises or commitments had been given. Both could come and go as they pleased, and neither owed the other a thing. Sydney never even asked her about her social life outside of the time she spent with him. But the weekend Em had spent with her boyfriend, Sydney had overdone it. He needed Scarlet to help keep his mind off Em. Scarlet had just been a convenient diversion but, more importantly, a willing participant in his marathon weekend of unquenchable lovemaking. Only calling what they’d done in his apartment all weekend making love was a gross misinterpretation of the truth.

Unquenchable however, was exactly what it’d felt like. Despite the undeniable pleasure of it, no matter how many times and how hard he’d nailed Scarlet, not once had he satisfied the ultimate goal—to squelch any thoughts of what Emi and Sly might be doing that weekend.

The day he hugged Em a few days before the weekend she left, he knew it was a mistake the moment he’d pressed his body against hers. He hadn’t meant to, but it just happened, and once he had her in his arms, he’d had to go for it. Everything that had been happening up until then—everything he’d been denying to himself—was confirmed. Up until then, he’d only admitted to being attracted to her. He’d used the phrase fallen for her loosely, as in, if she were game, he’d be willing to give a relationship with her a try despite their differences. Lynn had been right. Age was just a number, and as long as they enjoyed each other’s company—felt what he finally had to admit he felt for her—nothing else mattered.

What he had to admit after that day was that he didn’t just enjoy Em’s company. He craved it. Only it was becoming more than a craving now. He needed her around, needed to see that smile, hear her laughter, and listen to her voice as she spoke so openly about everything, even about the things that troubled her most. It was what had him slipping his arms around her the day she’d been upset with him. Their friendship was undeniably as special to her as it was to him. She’d compared him to her siblings, the people in her life he knew meant the world to her. It was part of the reason why he hesitated to move forward and be honest about what he was feeling.

The past few weeks had been absolute torture when she wasn’t around. He could deal with knowing she had a fucking boyfriend because, even after her weekend with him, she was still speaking in terms of “this is only for fun” and “for now.” He didn’t dare ask her if she’d been intimate with Sabian yet. After she spent an entire weekend with the guy, Sydney could only assume she had.
