Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend novel (Olivia and Aaron) novel Chapter 77

Aaron dropped me off at Cinder’s house and left. Once he was gone, Cinder came downstairs to greet me. When she saw my lips that were swollen from kissing, her eyes almost popped out of her head. “Oh, shit! Looks like you’ve had a great day.”

“Oh, don’t even mention it.” I waved my hand, already exhausted by all the relationship drama.

After washing up at Cinder’s house, I put on her.expensive spa facial mask and lounged on her couch in a pile of blankets and pillows, playing with her dog Jake while I watched her work from home. God, I felt like I am Cinder’s trophy wife.

Cinder was a landscape architect, and recently she’d been fretting over the design for a mansion in Malibu.

“You have no idea how ignorant the buyer’s wife is. This lady told me she wanted penguins, in Malibu! Can you believe it? I told her it was impossible, obviously, and what do you think · she said?”

“What did she say?” I absently petted Jake, a sweet Yorkie who received near–constant care and affection from Cinder.

“She said as long as you have enough money, nothing is impossible!” Cinder rolled her eyes. “I wanted to throw the plans in her face and quit. Fuck her and her stupid damn money.”

laughed at the expression on Cinder’s face.

“So how’d you end up fixing the problem?” I stroked Jake’s fur happily. He was so soft and cute, almost like a teddy bear.

“I didn’t fix the problem, I fixed the person who was causing the problem.”

“What, you seduced the rich husband and told him to get his wife under control?” I asked her with a smile.

Cinder gave me a blank look. “No, I just procrastinated for a few months until her son got bored of penguins and switched to drag racing instead. So, that’s not my problem.” She giggled.

We looked at each other for a moment, then both broke into laughter. Jake was scared by the commotion, and he hopped down from the couch and scampered off with his tail between his legs.

“Anyway, the point is, this rich wife left, but her key to a

Switzerland mansion was here. See, she originally bought it so her son could see penguins, but now that her son doesn’t care about penguins anymore, the family decided to fly to Morocco for a vacation. So, you wanna go on a ski trip to Switzerland with me? I will warn you in advance, I’m going to bring my boyfriend. And you’d better bring a guy too, otherwise…” She gave me a sly wink.

I rolled my eyes. “Well, then, I’m not going. I feel like throwing up whenever I even look at Vincent now, much less go on vacation with him. It would be a nightmare.”

“You can take Aaron.” Cinder waggled her eyebrows at me.

Aaron…

Going on a vacation trip with Aaron? My heart pounded in my chest at the thought, but then I came to my senses and shook

my head decisively. “It’s impossible.”

In what universe would a billionaire playboy spend his Christmas vacation with some random girl he was fucking?

Cinder gave me a serious look. “Why? Have you asked him?”

“Not yet…”

“Then how do you know it’s impossible? Why don’t you seduce him and see if he agrees?”

”

“…” That sounded even more unlikely.

Cinder deftly unhooked the shoulder straps of her dress with her fingers and slid them down her shoulders. “Just like this. Trust me, he won’t be able to refuse you.”

I looked down. The top half of her round, perky breasts were exposed, giving off an air of sexiness and seduction.

I silently vowed to ignore Cinder’s advice.

Suddenly she squeezed in beside me on the couch, folding up her legs beneath her. “Aw, baby, let me ask you something. You’ve been having this affair with Aaron for a long time now. You must be attracted to him, but do you have feelings for him?”

“I…” I paused, thinking carefully about Aaron for a moment. She was right, I was attracted to him. After all, Aaron was really good–looking. But my feelings for him…

Cinder exclaimed, “I can’t believe it! You hesitated! That’s got to mean something, right?”

“What could it mean? I’m just thinking about the question…” Now Cinder was distracting me with her overreaction.

Cinder tossed aside the plans she’d been working on all night and jumped up on the couch excitedly. “Nope! That means you’re starting to care about him! If you didn’t care, you would have said ‘no strings attached‘ or ‘fuck buddies‘ right away. The fact that you hesitated is proof you have real feelings for him.”

“Well, maybe I just… like his technique. I mean, he always gets me off,” I protested, trying to convince myself as much as I was trying to convince Cinder. “He’s just a rich playboy. Our relationship is always going to be about sex, not love.”

Yep, that was us. Me and Aaron, all sex, no love.

Cinder’s smile disappeared.

“Maybe I should not support your ‘revenge‘.” Cinder whispered: “I thought a good sex would make you happy, but I forgot Aaron was a dangerous person.”

“What do you mean?” I chucked, tried to make things not serious. “Aaron had good sex, and I enjoyed it. That’s all, girlfriend.”

“Just keep telling yourself that, baby.” Cinder put her hands around my face sincerely, her chocolate brown eyes filled with warm concern. “Aaron is a player. You’ll be screwed if you ever forget that and end up falling for him.”

“I know, I’m not that stupid,” I reassured her.

Cinder looked at me with a grave expression. “I mean it, Olive.

Don’t ever fall in love with Aaron.”

“Why?” I asked, without really meaning to. “I mean, I know he’s a player, but…”

“It’s not just that he doesn’t have a heart. It’s worse than that. He gave his heart to someone else.” Cinder’s voice was like a hammer, chipping away at my heart piece by piece. “I’ve known Aaron for a long time, and I know almost everything about him. He’s been dating since kindergarten, but in college, he kept himself purer than a Catholic. We all guessed which lucky girl would be the one to deflower him, and there were some bets about whether he’d be the first in our class to get married. But after college, he turned into a total tomcat, playing the field and waking up in a different girl’s bed every day… Olive, I think I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have encouraged you to sleep with Aaron to get back at Vincent.”

“It’s really not that big of a deal.” I forced a smile. “Don’t worry about it, I’m not falling for him. I swear, Cinder, I’m never going to fall in love with Aaron Morris.”
