Page 47 of Tomorrow's Never Promised

Maddy

I’m okay. Just going to watch a movie with Liam and try to get my mind off things.

Lexi

You sure that’s a good idea, Mad?

Maddy

No. I’m not sure. Of course, he just got out of the bathroom in nothing but those gray sweatpants. He looks so hot. We are only on day one. I need you to distract me so I don’t do something stupid.

Lexi

Ugh. The gray sweatpants…he wants you to see what he’s got under there. To remind you.

Maddy

How could I forget? I’ve tried.

I’m still affecting her. She feels me grow hard beneath her. Her breathing becomes more shallow—but she hasn’t moved off me. She reaches for the phone again.

“Liam. I’m serious.Give. Me. My phone.”

I laugh and tease her by lifting it higher. I lower my mouth to her ear. “So you can’t forget about our night either?”

She shivers on top of me. “Liam.Please,give me my phone.” Her voice has grown small and needy.

I hand it back to her but don’t let her pull it from my grasp. Her hand overlaps mine. “For the record, I can’t get that night off my mind either.I’ve tried too.” I let go of the phone and she moves her body off of me. She slides herself over to the very edge of the bed and brings her knees to her chest.

“So, what are we watching?” I twiddle my thumbs in my hand. My cock is still throbbing for her.

She puts her phone in her pocket and rolls over to face me. “Whatever you want. I’m just happy to not be alone tonight,” she sighs.

“No, really.” I reach over and pat her leg. “Youwanted to watch a movie, so you pick.”

“Fine. Can we watchThe Vampire Diaries?

“Sure…” I hesitantly agree. “What kinda movie are we talking about here? Romance or supernatural?”

“Both.” Her eyes light up, and she flashes me a grin. “And it’s a show.”

I had the staff bring us some popcorn and snacks. We ended up watching a few episodes. Maddy is asleep now, curled into a little ball. I kept watching more episodes because why the hell not—the show’s pretty damn good.I can see why she likes it.I also can see how eerily similar it is to our situation.

The question is, which brother am I to her?

I wakeup to Madison wrapped around me like a vine.Shit. I must have fallen asleep. She’s gonna be pissed I didn’t wake her to go back to her room.

Her head is on my chest, legs draped over mine. My morning wood is pressed firmly against her. I run my hand gently up and down her back. Her eyes flutter open, and she looks up at me but doesn’t move right away.

Man, I could get used to this.

I feel her tense as her expression changes to one of embarrassment. She tries to scramble out of my embrace.

“Shit. I’m sorry. That shouldn’t have happened. Iclearlythought you were Killian.”

“No, you didn’t. Your body was drawn to mine, even in sleep,” I laugh and ruffle her hair.
