Free Propositioning Her Brother's Best Friend by Sam Crescent Page A

were.”
    “He knows before Mitch does.”  
    “Speaking of Mitch, I was thinking I
should be the one to tell him. I don’t want him getting the wrong idea, and his
anger can be a little harsh at times,” he said.
    She knew all about Mitch’s temper.
Her brother would never hurt her, but he wasn’t known for being a smooth
talker. Mitch would no doubt say stuff he would regret.
    “You can tell him whatever you want,
Paul. I love my brother, and I won’t lie to him.”
    Paul tightened his hold on her hand.
    They talked as they finished their
meal. Rachel had never been so relaxed before. She sensed Paul was doing
everything he could to make her feel at ease.
    “So, erm, did you have any feelings
for Tracy when you saw her?” Rachel asked.
    ****
    Paul sensed the uncertainty inside
her. He wasn’t surprised. Up until a few days ago he’d kept Tracy on the short
list to fuck.
    Cursing inside his head, Paul
finished the last of his food and pushed his plate away.
    “I didn’t feel anything for Tracy. I
never have.”
    “But you slept with her. You must
have felt something,” she said.
    He was quickly reminded of her
innocent self. “Rachel, babe, you don’t need to feel anything for someone for
sex. I’m not going to lie to you. I got hard for Tracy. She was easy, and I was
horny. That is the extent of it.”
    “What about us? What happens if you
get horny again? Will I be pushed aside?” she asked.
    “ No, that would never happen, I promise you. What I have with you is something new and
loving. I’ve never been in love with anyone else.” He took her hand kissing it.
    “You’re in love with me?” Rachel
asked. Tears shone in her eyes.
    “How could you ever doubt it?”
    “You’ve never said so before.”
    He took her face in his hands and
pressed his lips to hers. Plundering his tongue into her mouth, Paul moaned
from the touch. “For all my life you’ve been in here.” He pressed her palm to
his chest. “I’ve never wanted anything else in my life than you.”
    Tears fell onto her cheeks. He wiped
them away with his thumbs. “I swear to you, Rachel, I mean what I say. I love
you with my whole heart. This has nothing to do with teaching you sex or taking
your virginity, both of which I haven’t done. I’ve always felt this way. I’m in
love with you.”
    “Oh, Paul.” She wrapped her arms around his
neck, holding on tight.
    “I love you so much. You’ve made me
the happiest woman tonight. I don’t care about anything else. The food and your
honesty is more than enough for me.”
    He held her tightly. Her curvy body
pressed to his hard one. Paul couldn’t stop the physical reaction. He got rock
hard.
    “We’ve got to tell Mitch,” she said.
“I’m not hiding my feelings to spare him. I don’t see why he can go around town
sleeping with everything that walks while I have to keep myself pure and
whatnot.”
    “The only person you’re going to
have between your thighs, baby, is me.”  
    “Of course. Why would I want anyone else?”
    Looking down into her hazel eyes
Paul was caught once again. She was so damn beautiful.
    “Come on. Help me clean up, and then
I’ve got a movie planned.” He picked up their plates and moved toward the sink.
“I don’t suppose you can put the leftovers in those containers? That’s my
dinner for the next couple of days.”
    “You seriously eat this all the
time?” she asked.
    He kept everything neat and tidy,
and the boxes where he stored his cooked food had labels on.
    “What’s wrong with eating the same
thing?”
    “Boredom. I need to teach you how to cook
something else.”
    Paul didn’t argue with her. They
finished cleaning the kitchen in no time. He liked having her by his side while
they worked together.
    Once they were done with cleaning he
took her hand and led her through to the living room. She took a seat on his
sofa as he went to the DVD and inserted the movie he’d rented out.
    “ Paul, is
there something you’re not
