She was pulled into the room and forced to sit beside Brice.
Tea had already been served, and her hands were shaking a little bit. She didn’t realize how nervous she was.
Her head was pounding, and all she wished for was the floor to open up to take her away from the mess that Brice had made.
She had a feeling as her mother started to question Brice, she had no chance of getting out of anything.
Chapter Five
News just in, official reports state Danielle Knox and Brice Ivory are a couple. All those single ladies out there, mourn now. He looks loved up, and nothing beats a full stomach.
Waving at Danielle’s parents was a new experience. He knew a time bomb was about to go off.
The moment he closed the door, Danielle turned toward him.
“We’re supposed to be friends. What the hell is that? You don’t go around telling my parents that we’re together. We’re not even a real couple. I mean, what the hell, Brice? Is this all part of some plan to win me over? I told you I didn’t want to go out with you, and what’s more, we’ve never even kissed, so right now I’m so piss—”
He could stand there and listen to her argue with him. Constantly tell him what a bad idea this was, or he could silence her with a kiss.
The first one was the more logical choice.
He didn’t go with logical.
He pressed her up against the wall and claimed her lips. He’d been wanting to kiss her ever since he met her and saw those lips in a smile. She had such plump, fuckable lips, and as they pressed against his, he knew they would feel great wrapped around his cock.
She grabbed his jacket and tried to fight him off, but he caught her hands, pressing them up against the wall.
Slowly, she started to cave, and she kissed him back.
The instant she did, the real heat began. Her tongue peeked out, and her body melted against him. Keeping both of her hands locked above her head, he ran his hand down her body, cupping her ass. Breaking from the kiss, he stared into her blue eyes.
Her lips were beautifully swollen.
“Tell me again why this is not a good idea,” he said.
She licked her lips. “You know it’s not.”
“What I know is this: you and I, something is going on here. You can try and deny it all you want, but I know it and you know it. Why do you have to keep on fighting?”
“Let me go.”
“Do you want me to let you go?”
“Brice, I get it. You’re used to getting what you want. You don’t know how bad my parents can be, which is why it was a good idea to shoot them down.”
“How bad can they be?”
“They could be arranging where we’re getting married right now.”
“That’s impossible.”
“It’s not. It’s why I keep my relationships a secret. Why I only ever date men who know the score.” She pulled away from him, and he let her go this time.
She stepped into her living room, and he watched as she bent forward, picking up the cups.
The dress rode up the back of her thighs. He wanted to see her ass, to feel her rubbing against him as his cock slid in deep.
“You’ve had relationships?” he asked.
When he did a search on her online, nothing had showed up, not a damn thing other than her career choices.
“I’m thirty years old. Of course, I’ve had relationships. I just don’t make anything public, and we keep it casual. No actual commitment.”
This time, he frowned.
“No commitment. That’s not a relationship.” He followed her into the kitchen.
“It is.”
“No, a relationship is being exclusive, not being with anyone else. It’s like a contract.”
She put the cups in the sink, turning to see him. “So?”
“You’ve never been in one.”
“I’ve been with men, okay. It hasn’t been anything that requires … my time. I’m always too busy, and my parents never give me time to see if I like the guy. I don’t have time for anything else.”
“You’ve had fuck buddies?” he asked, leaning against the counter.
She didn’t blush. “You’re telling me you haven’t?”
“I didn’t say that. I am a step up from you.”
“How do you work that out?”
“I’ve had a relationship. You have not.”
She shrugged. “Congratulations, Brice.”
“How about you and I give it a go?”
She rolled her eyes. “Seriously, you don’t give up.”
“Do you have an opening for a fuck buddy?” he asked.
“Brice, we’ve only just met.”
“And you’re telling me the men you screw are long lost buddies.”
“No, of course not.”
“Then how about this? You parents already know about me, so you don’t have to hide me. I can put them off organizing a wedding, and you and I become fuck buddies.”
This time, she did blush. “This is crazy.”
“Why is it crazy? You’ve got no one to fuck. Guess what? Neither have I. You and I could use each other. My parents are demanding that I find a wife. If we’re seen to be dating, how about it works in our favor?”
