After the day I’ve had, I’m in no fucking mood for this. For the incessant banging on my door, that can only be Carter on the other side. No one else would continue to bang, bang, bang, despite my not answering. It’s midnight dickwad, and I don’t want to hear any more. He berated me all through dinner and drinks about Amelia. So did my other asshole brothers.

About how I should leave her alone. Stop pressing her physically. Keep our relationship purely platonic and distant so this arrangement stays clean and uncomplicated.

“She’s essentially a single mom,” Carter had said. “And you don’t fuck around with single moms. You respect them enough to do the right thing by them.”

I hated every word. Because he was right. I should back off Amelia. I should let her be. And until I figure out exactly how to do that, I’m keeping my distance from her. But that doesn’t mean I want to.

So, yeah. No. I don’t want to answer the door for round two.

“Go away, asshole,” I yell through the door.

The banging instantly stops. Then I hear someone clear their throat. Only that doesn’t sound like Carter.

“Sorry,” the soft female voice says. “Your doorman just told me to knock and ring until you opened the door. Said that with a place as big as yours, you might not hear me.” Then I hear her breath hitch. “I didn’t ring the bell though.” Her slurred words crack on that last part like she’s about to break into tears.

Dammit. What the hell are you doing here, Amelia?

I swing the door open to find her pressed against the doorframe, her eyes red-rimmed and bloodshot with smears of mascara beneath. More of her hair frames her face than is held back in her low ponytail. Her ill-fitting blouse hangs limply off one shoulder and she’s holding her heels in her hand like her feet hurt too much to wear them.

She looks so small like this. So nervous and unsure of herself. So fucking pretty my chest clenches. And it’s like everything my brothers said tonight, everything I resolved to do where Amelia is concerned, just zapped right out of my brain.

She’s here.

“Hi,” I say, fighting my grin. She’s drunk. If I couldn’t tell by her appearance, I can smell whatever sweet concoction she’s been drinking on her breath.

She sighs. She also still hasn’t looked at me. “Hi,” she says to my hardwood floor. “I don’t know what I’m doing here.”

You wanted to see me, that’s what. Warmth trickles through my veins.

“Your sister and her friends put me in an Uber. They told me to come here and talk to you. I listened because it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

“Do you want to come in then?”

“Do you think I should?” She tilts her head as if she’s actually considering this as a question. Her eyes make a trail up my body, starting at my bare feet, trickling along my legs, over my boxer briefs where my dick is starting to harden, up along my abs and chest.
