CHAPTER 11

Die Happily

After the shock of seeing Evelyn at dinner, I wouldn’t have thought it was possible to have a good time. But that’s because I’ve never known anyone like Annie.

From kissing her at the top of a Ferris wheel with a cat in my lap, to people watching on the Vegas Strip, to laughing for hours at a hole-in-the-wall comedy club, the entire night has been… fun.

I haven’t had fun in so long, I find myself unable to resist her.

“Do you want to come in?” Annie asks when I walk her to her door a few hours past midnight.

It’s hard not to get lost in her big brown eyes, which unfortunately are the same color as her brother’s. The reminder snaps me back to reality.

“Can’t.” It’s more of a grunt than a word. Damn if I don’t want to back her into her room and strip off that sexy dress she’s wearing. Becca needs a raise for picking out such a perfect dress for Annie.

“I get it.” She tosses a teasing look over her shoulder. “Scared Phillip is going to beat you up?”

I laugh for what feels like the millionth time that night. It’s a record breaker for sure. Laughter has been more of a dry spell than sex, and that’s been months.

Reaching up to loosen my tie, I level Annie with a serious look. “Not at all.”

She smirks. “Well, what are you scared of?”

A lump forms in my throat, and I pull my tie off, stuffing it into the pocket of my jacket. I’m scared of losing one of my best friends. And maybe my heart. It’s been a rough year, and I don’t think the old ticker can take much more. Annie might just do me in. I have a feeling falling for a woman like Annie would be completely different from loving Evelyn.

Annie cups my cheek and brushes her lips over mine, sending a bolt of lust straight through me.

“Phillip is all talk.” She slides her lips to my jaw, then down to my neck, pushing at the collar of my shirt. “I don’t want to talk anymore, Vince.”

My arm slips around her waist, and Phillip be damned, I can’t resist his sister.

I haven’t felt this turned on in months. One kiss, and I’m ready to peel off Annie’s dress and explore every inch of her body.

My promise to Phillip is forgotten as Annie’s hands glide down my chest. She pushes my jacket off my shoulders, and I let it fall to the floor behind me. I fill my hands with her, losing control as I back her up into the room.

We are both panting by the time we reach the bed, and I’ve finally found the damn clasp to her dress. At the back of her neck, there is a little hook, and my fumbling fingers find it even as my heart pounds painfully in my chest, threatening to kill me if I don’t get her dress off. And then she’s bare to the waist. I suck in a breath as I gaze at her, and it’s over.
