Free Sawyer, Rita - Her Mr. Wrong [What Are Friends For 3] (Siren Publishing Classic) by Rita Sawyer

didn’t have the same problem. She walked over and opened the door.
    Slade got to his feet as she said, “You proved your point, so you can go now.”
    “What point would that be?” he asked.
    “That we have some chemistry.” The blush on her cheeks told him she wasn’t comfortable with her admission.
    He walked over and stopped in front of her. “I’m glad we agree on that.”
    She shoved him toward the door, and he let her. “Just remember, chemistry can be dangerous.”
    Slade didn’t have time to respond before she closed the door. He heard a few light thuds and smiled, as he pictured her banging her head against the door. Amy was right, desire was a flame that could burn out, leaving you feeling singed, but he thought it would be worth the risk to play with fire this one time. He just needed to get Amy to play with him.

Chapter Seven

    Amy looked in the mirror and did a slow turn. “What do you guys think?”
    “Are you trying to stop his heart?” Lainey asked.
    Okay, so the pants were way tighter than she normally wore. And the stupid bra Dianne picked out for her had her boobs looking like they were ready to spill out of the tank-style blouse if she moved wrong. All in all, it was an outfit put together with the intent to bring a man to his knees.
    “I think you look hot.” Sadie nodded her approval.
    “There’s no way your brothers will let you walk out the door wearing that.” Lainey pointed out a major flaw in their plan.
    “Tell me again how you got yourself deeper in this mess.”
    “It was a game of chance. I lost, and now I’m paying my debt.”
    “I’d like to know what he was willing to do if he lost.” Jillian’s tone insinuated that Amy had let herself lose.
    “He would be working at the garage one night a week, but since he won, that doesn’t matter does it?”
    “Testy.” Jillian teased. “So where are you two going?”
    “I don’t know, which is why I need you guys to help pick out something to wear.”
    How had she lost? She didn’t even know you could lose at Truth or Dare. Then again, she’d never played Slade’s version either. She wondered if he kept points for telling if the other person was lying. Not that she had tried, because he seemed to be able to read her a lot better than she read him.
    It had taken her most of the night—which she spent tossing and turning—to figure out she’d been played. She almost deserved it, for the stunt with the closet. Still, somehow Slade had found one of her biggest flaws and used it against her. She hated to refuse a dare or a bet. At least she’d be wiping out two dares by dating him.
    Lainey’s original dare had been for her and the rest of her friends to have a fling with a sexy guy the wanted, even if there was no future for them. Slade fit the bill to a capital T. She knew they’d never move past the affair stage, even if he hadn’t faced that fact yet. She actually found it a little disturbing that she found it soothing that she wasn’t going to have to try and impress him in any way. For the next four days, she planned on allowing herself to enjoy the time she spent with him, and then at the end they’d go their separate ways.
    “I hate to be the buzzkill here, but what if Slade isn’t just looking to have some fun? Do you really want to take a chance on breaking his heart?” Karen brought up the one part of all this that Amy hadn’t wanted to think too much about.
    One look confirmed what Amy had been afraid of. Karen was going to have a hard time not letting her heart get involved when, more likely, if, she chose her guy. Amy decided that later, she’d have a talk with Lainey and the rest of the girls to ask them to consider letting Karen out of the dare.
    She looked Karen in the eyes and said, “I’m going to do my best not to break his heart.” She winked and added, “Now his balls might be another story altogether.”
    Her friends all laughed, and Karen said, “Okay, then I think those pants with
