Chapter Seventeen

He could do this. For a free room, and probably a really nice one at that, he could give Brynn a quick peck and be no worse off. He did it all the time. Sure, it was usually on the forehead or the cheek, but this didn’t have to be any different just because they were playing bride and groom and had enough tequila and beer in them to last the rest of the evening.

He just had to stop thinking about it. Because they had a small audience now as some of the other guests started filing toward the door to see what the fuss was all about. An audience waiting for a show from the newlyweds, and they were failing miserably at playing the part.

Yet he hadn’t forgotten Brynn’s admission—finding him sexy on more than one occasion, which meant not just today and not just because of the alcohol.

Damn, even in his state he was still hesitating, still trying to figure her out before he made any sort of move. He had to stop worrying about what would happen when he hit the ground and just fucking leap already.

So he did.

It was meant to be quick. They’d pass it off as being shy in front of the onlookers. He even half expected Brynn to flinch when he lowered his head toward hers, deer in headlights as she was. But she raised her chin, a tacit agreement that they were going to do this. A wet curl was plastered to her cheek, and he hooked a finger under it, tucking it behind her ear.

She shivered as his hand came to rest on her neck. It had to be from the cold. But the hair that stood on end on Jamie’s arms? That had nothing to do with temperature. There was no turning back now that he could feel the warmth of her breath on his face. And when he leaned in to make contact, he heard her breath hitch, and he was sure of one thing—this kiss was going to ruin him.

The first thing he felt was water. Brynn’s hair was so wet, it was dripping down her face, her bottom lip catching the most recent drop, and Jamie had to steel himself not to flick out his tongue and lick it right off. This was his best friend, the girl he had loved since he was sixteen, and she was on her way to another man regardless of any admissions she made under the influence. His mouth would stay closed, and closed it was when he kissed the girl he pushed away so many years ago.

It was Brynn who did the unthinkable. She returned the kiss, soft and sweet. But when she should have pulled away, taken a bow because Show’s over, folks, she parted her lips instead and waited for him to join her for what must be the grand finale.

He only had so much resolve, and she had cracked right through it.

Yep, this was going to ruin him, but he was going to enjoy the short ride while it lasted.
