“I’ve never done anything with a guy…it’s a big step even if it is you. Probably bigger because it’s you.”

“We don’t have—”

“No.” She stops. “We have to.” She smiles at me and it almost stops my heart. “For both of our sanities.” She walks over to my bed and hops on it making her tits bounce deliciously and my mouth waters.

“Something tells me after this, you’ll only drive me more insane.” I rub my forehead. “I’m already jealous as fuck any time a man breathes in your direction.”

“So that’s why you were such a dick to Miles?”

“Who?”

“The guy from yesterday.”

I snort. “The fuck? That guy was a douche.”

“So, you said, but I also didn’t realize that was coming from a place of jealousy.”

“Jealous of what?” I tell her as I move towards the bed. I pull my shirt off over my head and let it fall to the floor. “Some dumb jock?”

“No, that he might want to take me out on a date or something.”

She’s right, that shit did make me jealous as fuck. “I’ll take you out on a date, Gab.”

“Oh really?”

I hover over her. “We don’t have to go shouting to all of New York that we’re siblings. To your point, no one knows us here. We can go on a date across town where there’s no chance of running into anyone you or I know and…have a romantic evening,” I tell her. “If that’s what you want.”

“I want you however I can have you.” She scoots her completely naked body up into the pillows and spreads her legs slightly. “James, I really need you.”

“I fucking need you too, baby.” I tell her as I move up the bed. I get up on my knees and look down at her. “But I don’t want you to be pressured into something you’re not ready for.” God knows I’ve wanted this moment for months, but it would kill me if this destroyed her or us. I’m crazy about Gabrielle, but I’m not about to ruin our relationship over it. “Tell me this won’t fuck everything up.”
