him.
    “Is this where you let me down easy?” she joked. “Vow to withhold dick from now until forever?”
    “You know this shouldn't have happened.”
    Why did those words sting even though she'd braced herself for them? He wouldn't pause over the fact that their sex was amazing, and that they should fuck again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Again and again until there was no more doubt.
    That wasn't important at all, at least to Vic. Sex between them was wrong, a betrayal, and another whole list of words that she wouldn't use… unless self-fucking-reflecting.
    Ash forced down a swallow, and pushed out, “So you regret it?”
    He spread his hands out in front of him. “I regret that I'm going to have to lie to my friend. I can't tell him about this.”
    She slid deeper beneath the sheet. “Why would you? That's cra zy.” Though an honorable act, perhaps, from Vic's point of view, but... “It's none of his business who we sleep with, even if we happen to be sleeping with each other.”
    “Ash.” His voice held a note of warning.
    “What? And telling him is a little creepy, if you think hard about it.” She lowered her voice to mimic Victor’s. “I had sex with you sister and it was good.”
    He didn't look amused. “Ashley.”
    “He doesn't have to know we're great in bed together, because that's skeevy knowledge.” She swallowed and added, “And it will hurt him.”
    His gaze, once again, went to all the parts of her that weren’t covered. Victor sighed, his jaw tightening. “Ash...”
    He didn't finish that sentence. He just took the cup of water from her hand and put the glass on the nightstand before climbing back into bed with her. He pulled her into him, crooking his face into her neck, and holding her close. She couldn't help but curl into his warmth.
    “We can't do this again,” he said. “You know that.”
    Now he said that before sucking the skin along her neck. How could they not do this the next time they were within touching distance? Liquor may have been the inciting incident, but their unspent lust had paved their road to hell. He'd stood in her kitchen and for the first time, they were alone. Really alone. Vic wasn't waiting for Porter to show up. None of his friends were going to drop by. No one would think he'd still be in her home after dropping her off.
    They could be Vic and Ash—a man and a woman who were done fighting their attraction. Despite years of avoiding that exact situation, it had finally happened and they'd succumbed.
    “I'm not out of your system?” she asked, damn near purring. Definitely forgetting why he was right.
    No answer. He was too busy kissing his way up to her mouth. She didn't mind that one bit. He kissed her deep and hard and long. She wondered if he would stop or if this was just his goodbye.
    Since it was likely the latter, she fisted a hand in his hair, melting again under his mouth. This kiss seemed hotter, darker than the one they had shared in the kitchen. There was no alcohol to soften the sensual impact of his tongue dipping into her mouth, his teeth nipping at all the sensitive places he'd found. He was taking her under and she had nothing to save herself from him.
    Victor finally pulled back after she'd moaned.
    “Anything more than this and I'll have to tell Porter.” His hands made their way under the sheet. “No argument will budge me, and you should know that.”
    She jerked on his hair, hating his words and maybe him a little.
    He laughed though. “Violent, aren't you?”
    “That was me fighting the urge to head-butt you.”
    “Why?”
    She met his gaze and could see the truth. “Because you're a man of your word. You'll tell Porter we're fantastic at sex with each other if we try to carry on an affair. You'll do that no matter how much that will screw everything up.”
    “Then you understand that's the line I won't cross.” He pressed his thumb to her lower lip then dragged it over the soft flesh. “I've known you forever and
