Rules about Lily by Angelina Fayrene Read Free Book Online Page A

awkwardness that never existed between them now hung in the air.
    “We need to talk Lily. We’ll go over the events from tonight and double check the plans for tomorrow.” He walked towards his office leaving her to follow behind him, never doubting that she would. Her professionalism was doing battle with her urge to run.
                  He waited until she closed the door behind her, making sure to keep the distance of the desk between them.
    “I could tell them all to leave.” He said without any hesitation.
    “No, why would you do that, your goal hasn’t been reached. You haven’t even gone out with anyone yet.” Again the clawing fingers of jealousy ripped through her chest at the thought of Jared and any one of those women.
    “I wouldn’t need to if you married me.” It wasn’t a question. “Our lives already blend together and there sure as hell isn’t any doubt if we’ll be sexually compatible.”
    Lily’s heart jumped at the word marriage, not daring to believe that it came from Jared lips and directed to her.
    “That’s actually the problem in a nutshell. Why is this happening to us now? We’ve known each other for twenty-two years and nothing has ever happened, I’m afraid that this might just be a case of convenience and familiarity.” She was trying to be practical but Jared wanted noting to do with it.
    “You need to finish this with an open mind and give all these women the attention you had intended in the first place.  I don’t want you to settle for me because I’m handy; it would make us both miserable in the long run.”
    “I understand that you think you’ll be moving to Dallas. When were you going to tell me about the job interview? He came around the desk to lean against its edge not two feet from where she sat.
    “It’s been crazy around here recently and I didn’t have the opportunity.” She wondered how he found out but quickly remembered that nothing stayed secret for long in a household like this one.
    “Didn’t have the opportunity to tell me you were leaving me? And when were you going to tell me about your date with Brian?” He glowed at her angrily and his anger fueled her own.
    “I wasn’t going to tell you about my date; it’s none of your business.”
    “Like hell it’s not my business, after what’s been going on between us? Men like him are used to women who know the score and will expect you to play the game. Do you have any doubt that if he touches you that I will likely kill him. I almost punched him out for dancing with you tonight.” Jared had always been possessive of her but also protective in a brotherly sort of way. The last few weeks proved that they weren’t related and his threat was savagely violent. It was a side to Jared that she had never seen before.  The friendly banter between them seemed like something that existed in the distant past instead of just weeks ago. All that was left was heat and tension.
                  “I know that you’re aware that I don’t have very much experience when it comes to men and sex.” She ignored his heavy grunt and continued. “I won’t do anything I’m not comfortable doing but I also need know a little of what I’ve been missing. You will go on your date and I will go on mine. Don’t worry Jared, I’ll be alright.” She reached up and kissed him on the cheek and he responded with the kiss to her forehead. He knew she was searching for a little of what was normal between them and he needed to defuse the situation. She seemed to breath easier when he released her without issue and left to go to her own place.
                  He would do as she asked and continue with his dating itinerary and he couldn’t stop her from going on her own date but she would have an unseen chaperone, Brian would never lay a finger on his woman and whether she chose to accept it or not did not change the fact that she definitely belonged to him.  It wouldn’t be long
