Aubrey

I leaned against the inside of my front door, stunned, my heart beating a million times a second. Each inhale and exhale felt like I was swallowing sandpaper.

What the actual heck just happened in Noah’s car?

But I knew. I knew what almost happened in Noah’s car.

Noah almost kissed me.

What’s worse is that I wanted him to! I wanted my best friend to kiss me. I wanted a guy—a total player—I swore I’d never go there with to kiss me. It’d ruin our friendship. What was wrong with me? Was I determined to lose both my fiancé and my best friend in a matter of weeks?

My thoughts turned back to the moment in the car. To the surge of excitement I felt at his nearness, the heat in my core as he tilted my chin and leaned in. That was brand new.

Really, Aubrey?

I lied. I’d always felt a little thrill when Noah was near but I’d never let myself feel it the way I had just now. I’d never admitted how real it was. It felt magnified times a thousand.

I wished I hadn’t run away. I wished I’d just stayed there and enjoyed the sensations washing over me, the feeling of closeness. It was like a tide had gone out, smoothing out the distance between us over the past few weeks, leaving behind a sharp, hot tension.

I wasn’t even sure what made me bolt. Maybe it was fear. Self-preservation or an instinct to preserve our friendship. If we kissed, everything would change.

Everything.

But change to what?

Noah and I were impossible. Noah didn’t do relationships. He hadn’t even dated anyone since I’d known him. And despite this one little lottery prize, I was a relationship kind of girl.

Oh God. The lottery prize.

My cheeks heated as I remembered that I was about to let four strangers make me come.

How could I kiss Noah with this tiny—massive—secret hanging between us?

No, I had to shove all these thoughts and all these feelings away and pretend it never happened. Then after my “prize” night, I’d deal with all of this…this…whatever this was.

And then what?

I chewed my lip. Noah could have anyone. Literally, any woman on the face of this planet, just by flashing his gorgeous grin and those trademark dimples. Why would he kiss me?

I was his best friend. He didn’t see me that way. I wasn’t even his type—tall, leggy, blonde and busty—basically a supermodel. Maybe he just felt sorry for me because of my break-up. He was trying to comfort me. Show me that I was still desirable or something. The way he was looking at me in the car, it certainly made me feel desirable. Like I was the most beautiful creature he’d ever seen.

He said he was going through some shit. It was probably stress over his ma. Maybe he just needed comfort from me. Yes, that was all it was. Comfort. It was stupid for me to think about the near kiss as anything more.

What would it have been like to let him kiss me? I found my fingers pressing to my tingling lips.
