Free If You Dare by Liz Lee

shoot, she’d seen the girl last night. She wasn’t that young.
    Maybe her big brother needed a wakeup call.
    But someone else would have to do the calling. Cordelia had one week to live out her fantasy. She wasn’t going to mess everything up by getting involved in messy family politics.
    Forcing herself to focus on the way his kiss had singed her straight to her toes, she smiled.
    “Well, I guess you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.” She trailed her fingers down his chest and over the knotted edge of the towel.  
    With one tiny tug, she watched the towel fall open. When it did she let her fingers trail over the hard plains of his stomach before slowly moving over the trail of crisp dark pubic hairs that led to his already stiffening penis.
    Oh man, she truly did love being the bad girl. Sexy semantics and all.

    Joe watched his sister unpack the last of her clothes and felt a kind of resignation.
    The only girl in a house full of boys, she’d pretty much figured out how to get her way. And usually he enjoyed spoiling her. But not this time.
    “Taylor, you really need to call Mom and Daddy.”
    He waited and sure enough she turned that million-watt smile his way. “Don’t be silly, Joe. Momma and Daddy know exactly where I am. I called them last night.” She paused before walking over to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Not that you’d know about that. By the way, Momma said to tell you a visit every once in a while wouldn’t be out of the question.”
    To most people, her last bit of information would be seen as a gentle reprimand. But Joe knew better. She was trying to shift the focus of the conversation on to him.  
    He moved to stop her from putting her suitcase in the closet of his guest room. “Not going to work, Taylor.”
    When she sent him a questioning look he shook his head. “Don’t pull that innocent crap with me. You know what I’m talking about.”
    She simply shrugged and sat down on the bed as if he hadn’t just told her she had to leave. “Get used to it, Joe. You told me I could visit anytime. Well, here I am.”
    He opened his mouth to list another reason she should go back home but she interrupted him. “Don’t go telling me about Bobby Don. He and I have an agreement. He’s glad I’m here.”
    Yeah, right. He tried to debate the statement, but she held out her hand. “Uh-huh. Nope. Not listening. You said anytime. And if it weren’t for your new neighbor, you’d be taking me around town to see the sites. Speaking of which, I need the classifieds, and I didn’t see a paper. And I couldn’t figure out your password to get on your computer.”
    Joe watched as Taylor jumped off the bed and started walking out of the room. And as he watched he had to admit she was partially right. Cordelia was one of the reasons he didn’t want his sister to stay.
    He followed her out of the room and signed on to his computer so she could log on to the local classifieds. Let her see the low starting wages and then see how long she’d want to stick around. She was used to running her own dance studio. She wouldn’t take well to a boss.
    Taylor didn’t make it past typing in her sign on name before spinning the chair back to face him. “So who is the new neighbor?”
    Joe fought the urge to cover his face with a hand in frustration. “She’s not a new neighbor. She’s just visiting. And I’m not going to talk to you about her.”
    His refusal to give more information didn’t seem to faze his sister a bit. “Visiting, hmm. You two looked pretty cozy last night.”
    That was it. “Look, Taylor. I’m not going to sit around and discuss my private life with you.”
    She hit the enter key on the computer and shrugged. “It’s just sex, Joe. It’s not like I’m a kid. I might even be able to give you a few pointers.” She stopped and let her eyes move to where she’d caught him with Cordelia last night. “Of course, you seemed to have things pretty much under
