Wild Nights With My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 85

NICOLE

Mason opens the door to his apartment and I have to admit that he looks a little annoyed at seeing me. “What are you, Ma? I’m fine. You don’t have to check up on me.”

He starts toward the living room again. There’s a whole mess before him. He’s got empty cans of beer all over the coffee table, along with paper wrappers from burgers he ate. Plastic. Paper.

“What the fuck?” I can’t help but say.

“Don’t judge me,” he says grumpily, putting a leg up on the couch. His eyes are on the TV. “I’m fine. I just need to feel myself live a little, alright? Haley was a clean freak. I could never do anything I wanted.”

“And what you want is to…make a mess?”

“Sure. Why not?” he asks in a challenging tone.

I look around helplessly. I’ve come to get a few things. I also wanted to see how you were doing.”

“Just fine.”

I wish he’d stop with this. I shake my head at him and head toward the room that used to be mine. It feels so… different. I walk in and I notice the change right away. Or maybe I’m the one who’s changed?I sit on the bed and look around. Suddenly, I feel so tired that I can’t even get up and start packing. I have to go.

Roman says he has that surprise. It’s clear that Mason doesn’t want me here.

So, why can’t I move?

My brother opens the door suddenly and says, “Look, I’m sorry I was rude, I just-what’s wrong?”

I didn’t realize I was crying until now.

“Nikki, what happened?” He sits down next to me. “Why the hell are you crying? Is it because of me?”

Haugh through the tears and give his shoulder a shove. ”

No, you narcissistic asshole. It’s something else.

Something I was told today.”

“What is it?”

tell him how the appointment went and Mason runs a hand down his face. “Fuck, Nicole. Come here.”

Mason puts an arm around me and rocks me a little while I cry. “I’m so serry, sis. I could kill Dan right now. How could that fucker have done this to you? Prison isn’t enough.”

I don’t say anything. I just let him hold me.

“Us Monroes seem to be having the shittiest year imaginable,” he claims. “What’s happening to us, huh?

We’ve been a mess since Ma left us.””Yeah,” lagree with him, sniffling

“I didn’t even know you were going through this. I’m sorry.

I know i can-be self-absorbed. I’m really sorry.”

“Yeah. You can be.” I straighten my back to look at his face. “Are you sure you’re fine? I’m worried about the mess you re making out there.”

He slams his fist against his chest and grunts. “Just being a man. Nothing to worry about.”

Haugh at his ridiculousness.

Roman’s that unpredictable. The food turns out to be delicious, as it usually is, and then it’s time for thesurprise.

He takes my hand and guides me to the master bedroom. I get anxious. “Roman, what is it? Just tell me now!”

“Don’t be so impatient,” he teases as he opens the door.”

You’ll find out soon enough.”

Roman opens the door and it’s the first thing I see…a camera recorder. I stare at him with a raised brow and he keeps grinning like he expects me to get it.

And then I do. “You dirty bastard.”

“I thought we’d try something new,” he claims before kissing the side of my neck. He then gives the skin there a little nibble. And by God…just the thought of it excites me. “I knew you’d like the idea.”

“Who says I do?” I ask almost breathlessly.

“I bet you’re wet right now,” he claims seductively as his hand slides down the front of my body. He gives my pussy a slap. “Your body speaks to me, Nikki. I mean it when I say that.”

My nipples are already pushing against the material of the shirt I’m wearing. He’s right—of course, he is. All of this makes me forget the sad news I received today.

“What’ll you do with the tape?” I ask curiously as his hands venture into my shirt. He squeezes my breasts and I feel a tingle of pleasure trickle down my spine, setting me alight.”Watch it again and again. Stroke myself to it again and again.” He sucks on my neck hard enough to leave a hickey. “We can even watch it together. We can do whatever we want with it.”

I feel his erection digging into my lower back. I’m already beyond excited and there’s no turning back. “Let’s do it, then.”

“Never thought you’d say the words.”
