Reunion With The Billionaire Best Friend (BBW Contemporary Romance)
“Ash, that’s probably not a good idea.”
    I crowed her against the car. “Why not, Charlie?”
    She licked her lips. “Because I think I have an idea on why you want to come home with me.”
    I braced my hands on either side of her and brushed my body against hers. I didn’t miss her shudder or soft intake of breath. “I think you’re right, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea.”
    I decided it was now or never. I took the plunge hoping it didn’t back fire and brought my lips to her essentially cutting off her argument. She made a sound of surprise, but then she kissed me back. It was soft and sweet and fucking ended much too soon. Her lips were perfect. The feel of her heart pounding against my chest was all I needed to know. She felt the same way for me. No matter what she said I wouldn’t let her run form me.
    I kissed her deeper and gripped her hip with one hand yanking her closer. My tongue slid into her mouth, and I explored every inch before I pulled back. “What’s your address sweetheart?”
    Her eyes were unfocused and her lips were puffy. “235 Lexington Drive. Small white house.”
    “Thank you,” I replied and kissed her again. “I’m going to stick around for a few, but I’ll be over in a bit.”
    She nodded and I backed away and opened her door. She slid inside and I leaned in pecking her lips before shutting her door. Oh yeah, I could get used to this. Her lips were soft and inviting, and I couldn’t wait to take her the way I’d been dreaming of for years now. She was as good as mine.

Chapter 5
    Charlie
    As soon as Charlie got home, she went into a small panic. She let him kiss her, and it was even better than she could have ever imagined. He was domineering and in-your-face and she loved it. She loved how he kissed her silly. She loved how it felt to have his hand on her hip and the feel of his lips on hers. There was no denying any of that, but there was a bigger issue. If it was just some sort of fling could she handle seeing him when he was home? She didn’t think so. She wasn’t the one-night-stand or even the fuck-buddy type of girl. She knew when she picked a man to be with it was going to be it for her.
    Growing up before her mother died she knew that her parents loved each other, but when her dad met Diana she knew for the first time was real, unconditional love was. There was a spark in her dad that she saw that hadn’t been there with her mom. 
    She stripped off her work clothes and got into the shower. After a long day she was really ready to put on her flannels and crawl into bed, but her heart thumped with excitement knowing Ash was coming. She felt like a giddy teenager waiting for the boy to call. It was ridiculous especially when nothing could come of it. They could be friends, but they could not be lovers, or even anything more than that. She hadn’t had sex or any sort of intimate relationship since before her cancer, and even then her experience was limited. She was surprised she’d even remembered how to kiss.
    After her shower she got dressed in her sexiest pajamas anyway, which still weren’t sexy and ran the comb through her hair. She heard the doorbell and her stomach dropped. Nerves filled every part of her body as she made her way to the door. She shouldn’t have been so nervous. When she opened the door Ash stood there smiling at her.
    “I’m glad you waited. Ma got to talking and you know how that can go.”
    She nodded and gestured for him to come in. “Yeah, your mom can really get going, but you know what, that’s one of the best things about her. She certainly knows how to distract.”
    Ash followed her inside and she shut and locked her door. He made himself right at home slipping off his shoes and walking into her tiny living room. Plopping on the couch he stared at her while she stood awkwardly. She was unsure of what to do. She’d never had a man other than her father in her house. It felt different.
    “Well get over here,
