Page 61 of The Best Friend Problem
“Finn?”
“Hmmm?”
“Can we… Do you want to…”
“Keep doing this?”
Thank God he seemed to be on the same wavelength.
“I’ve read that libido can increase in pregnant women. I don’t want to go trolling for creepy dudes who get off on doing pregnant women, and my solo efforts don’t seem to be as effective at getting the job done, so…”
Silence filled the dark room. The distant sounds of police sirens filtered in from the window, but the only light came from cars passing along the busy city roads underneath Finn’s dark curtains.
Finally, his deep voice filled her ear. “You want to keep having sex because of the baby hormones?”
Did he sound a little…hurt? No, that was crazy. Finn didn’t let emotions into his bed. Emotions led to permanence, and he’d made it very clear over the years how he felt about permanent relationships.
“Only if you want to. I mean, we certainly have chemistry.”
“We’re a five-alarm fire, Precious.”
The dark words rumbled in her ear, sending a shiver of need down her spine even though she would have sworn she couldn’t be aroused any more tonight.
“So, you’re in? For more sex? With me, I mean?”
He laughed softly, the vibrations hitting her directly between her legs, though his lips caressed her neck.
“For you, Pru? I’d do damn near anything.”
She chose to ignore the wealth of possibility in that statement and focused on the part she wanted. The more sex part. They were already having twins together. Finn wanted to be a part of the babies’ lives. Why couldn’t they add hot, wild sex to the equation, too?
“So that’s a yes?”
“That’s a hell yes. Under one condition.”
Damn him. What guy put conditions on hot sex? Her best friend, apparently.
“What?”
She couldn’t exactly see his face in the dark, but when he cupped her cheek, thumb stroking along her jaw, she knew he must have his serious face on. She could hear it in his tone as he made his request.
“No one else. It’s only you and me, Pru. Until…until we go back to being just friends.”
Could they ever go back to being just friends when they were having kids together? She hoped so, because the one thing in her life she couldn’t lose was Finn. He’d been a part of her since she lost her parents, through the loss of Aunt Rose, through every heartbreak and struggle. She couldn’t lose him because of a little sex, and she wouldn’t. They could be friends and co-parents and sex buddies. And she would ignore that inner voice laughing its head off at her naivete right now.
“I already told you I’m not trolling for weird fetish dudes. The question is, can you give up the ladies?”
He lightly smacked her ass, swallowing her shriek as he pressed his lips against hers.
“There’s only one lady I want at the moment, and she’s right here, being a smartass.”
Took one to know one. “Okay, then.”
“Good. Then, we’re agreed.”
“Agreed. Now, should we get some rest?”
She felt his smile against her lips as his hand moved down to cup her right between her thighs.
