I’m sleeping next to you. I’m
    serious.”
    We begin the stare down of the
    century as we both refuse to budge. I’m
    not
    ready for anything more than
    sleeping. I can’t let him in bed with me
    again.
    “Fine. I’ll sleep on Eaven &
    Talon’s floor.”
    “Fucking great! I’d love to piss
    off my brother tonight. Let’s do it. Let’s
    sleep on the fucking floor to prove that
    you want to be friends. I’m good with
    wherever you decide. Just know that if
    you are in this house, I’m with you. If
    you are anywhere near me, I’m sleeping
    next to you. So quit fighting me.”
    I think about his comment. He is a
    pain in the ass. He will never quit. For
    the purpose of getting to sleep tonight, I
    give in. I do the one thing that Ivy
    doesn’t do, and I let a guy win again and
    THAT pisses me off.
    “Why do you have to be such a
    pain in the ass?”
    “That’s what I do best!” The
    smirk on his panty sniffing face makes
    me smile. He is going to get his way and
    we are going to sleep together.
    “We are going to SLEEP.”
    “Do you think that I’m a cold
    hearted dick? I know we are sleeping.”
    I climb into bed and wrap up in the
    sheets that smell like him. I lay my head
    on the pillow that carries the scent of his
    gorgeous body. I close my eyes and pray
    for a full night’s sleep. I feel him slide
    into bed and know that he is
    compromising with me by not wrapping
    me in his arms. This is a small win for
    me. I’m glad he is respecting that I want
    to be friends. A win. Now I just have to
    figure out why it doesn’t feel like a win.

    I wake feeling refreshed and a
    little more alive. This is progress. I
    open my eyes and all I see is tan
    sculpted abs. I’m sprawled out across
    his stomach and his breathing is forcing
    my head to move slightly with each
    breath. I move my arm and find that it’s
    wrapped a little lower than his waist. I
    feel his morning glory bump into my arm
    every time he inhales. It’s getting closer
    and pressing a little harder each time he
    takes a breath. I wonder if he is awake.
    I want to take a peek so bad, but it would
    lead him on.
    The old Ivy would have done it.
    The old Ivy would have done more than
    take a peek. I move my arm slowly and
    purposely edge the sheet out of the way.
    I remain perfectly still and watch as he
    continues to grow. I fight the urge to
    wrap my hand around it and squeeze him
    through his black boxer briefs.
    I finally decide to lift his
    waistband and take a peek. This quickly
    backfires because now he is escaping. If
    I were a bitch, I would just let it snap
    back. I’m pretty sure I want to be here
    again, so I slowly lower the band until it
    smashes him. I sit up quickly and throw
    the sheets over him hoping that if I act
    like I’m getting out of bed he won’t try
    anything. I look over and see the biggest
    fucking grin on his face and I know that
    I’m busted.

    I wake up to the best sight a guy
    could ask for. I want to yell out my
    usual entrance into a party…WHO’S
    READY TO SEE SOME DICK, but I
    hold back. She would get so pissed if I
    scared her right now.
    Besides I want to see how far she
    will go. I will her to lean in and begin
    the day the best way I can imagine, but
    she doesn’t. She jumps out of bed
    quickly and abruptly. I can’t help but
    grin anyway because I know she will
    cave again. She is worth the wait. This
    is something I know for sure. I won’t
    push her too hard, but I will have fun.
    “Good morning gorgeous!” I
    watch as she gathers some clothes and
    begins to rush to the bathroom.
    “Uh. Mornin.”
    “Do you want me to help you with
    your shower?”
    “Don’t even think about it.”
    “Oh baby, I will definitely be
    thinking about you in the shower.” She
    glares back at me and I see a little fire in
    her eyes. She looks like she wants to
    say something, but instead she presses
    her lips together and stomps into the
    bathroom. I wait until I hear the shower
    before I move
