PART 2–CHAPTER 101
JESS
The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a
warm glow over the room as I lay there, naked and still trying to catch my breath. My head spun, my heart still racing from what had just happened.
Luke’s arm was draped lazily across my waist, and I could feel his steady breath against the back of my neck as he drew patterns on my back and over my hip. After our shower, Luke decided that he didn’t like not being in control and showed me exactly why it’s better when he is…
This was like a blissful little bubble moment, and all I could think about was Luke finally telling me how he felt, then showing me again until I was a convulsing mess and needed another shower.
He finally said it. He confessed. Luke, my brother’s best friend, the guy I’d been secretly crushing on for years, just admitted he had feelings for me. And not in some subtle, roundabout way- no, he laid it all out there right after… well, after the most passionate morning of my life.

Josh, who was downstairs. Josh, who probably heard… everything. My stomach dropped at the thought.
I rolled back and turned to Luke, who just lay there with hooded eyes and a smile on his face as his fingers now drew little
circles around my nipples before he flattened his palm against my stomach.
“Morning,” he murmured, his voice still husky from sleep.
“It’s been morning,” I whispered back, feeling a ridiculous smile tug at my lips. But reality quickly set in, and my eyes darted toward the door. “Luke, Josh is downstairs.”
Luke just shrugged, like it was the most normal thing in the world. “So?”
“So? So he’s going to know! He’s going to know you spent the night, and he probably heard us this morning, and oh my God, what are we going to do?”
Luke chuckled, clearly unfazed. He sat up, stretching his arms over his head, and gave me a look that said I was overthinking this way too much. “Jess, relax. It’s fine.”
“Fine?” I echoed, my voice an octave higher. “This is so not fine. This is the opposite of fine.”
“Are you insane?” I hissed, trying to pull my hand back, but he held on tight. “I can’t go down there! Josh is going to-”
