Page 5 of Seduced By My Brother's Best Friend
His hazel green eyes shine, and he seems more sincere than I’ve ever seen him. I should stop this. There’s no way Alex won’t break my heart. And yet, I let him lead me to his bedroom. I’m silent as he pulls me onto the bed.
“Grip the headboard, Fallon,” he whispers. I nod as he slams into me. I cry out, and he immediately covers my mouth with his.
I’m deliciously full, stretching to accommodate him as he thrusts into me with increasing speed. Wrapping his hands around my thighs, he jerks me onto him, hard. The feeling is so intense that I buck against him and silently cry out his name as I come.
He doesn’t let up. He continues pounding into me. Sweat beads on his forehead as he fucks me with reckless abandon.
“You’re so wet, Fallon. I didn’t think you would feel so good,” Alex groans.
I moan in response. He suddenly pushes my knees to my chest. He begins to thrust in slower, dragging his cock in and out and driving me out of my mind. I lose it again when his hand teases my breast, and he’s not far behind. He comes while I spasm around his cock. Once he regains control, he falls down to the tiny space beside me on the bed.
We both say nothing for several seconds. It’s an awkward silence.
I just slept with Alexander King.
The realization causes me to sit up abruptly, causing Alex to jolt. “I need to go,” I say with wide eyes.
He looks at me, confused. “What?”
“I said I need to go,” I repeat, getting off the bed. I start gathering my clothes in a frenzied motion. I can’t even look at him right now.
“You’re freaking out,” Alex accuses, watching me through his intense eyes.
“Of course, I’m freaking out. I can’t believe we slept together.”
He rubs his hand through his hair, making me remember that it was my hand pulling at it just a few minutes ago. My cheeks heat.
“Calm down. It doesn’t have to mean anything,” he finally says.
“What?” I ask, feeling my heart break a little.
“I mean, you’re my best friend’s little sister. He’ll kill me if he finds out I slept with you. This happened because we were drunk. I won’t tell anyone, so you don’t have to worry.”
He says the words emotionlessly, and I can’t help but wonder where the man I was with only just a few minutes ago went.
“Are you being serious right now?” I question.
He stares at me, unblinking. It’s so frustrating that I can’t read him. I’m probably an open book to him, but he’s an absolute mystery to me.
“What do you want from me, Fallon?” he asks.
I finally finish putting all my clothes back on. Then I look at him.
“Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing,” I say icily.
He’s the only person that ever gets me to swear. I would never use those words with anyone else.
“Do you want me to drive you over to Damien’s?”
“No, I’ll drive myself. You can pick your car up from his place.”
After one last look at him, I walk out of the room and out of his house. I don’t know why a part of me was expecting him to be different. I should have seen this coming a mile away. Alexander was always only going to break my heart.
I’m grateful for one thing, however. Our encounter is the only reason I’m able to leave Aster Falls with a light heart. I have no regrets as I step onto the airplane that’s supposed to take me to a new life. If we hadn’t slept together, I would have always wondered, what if? But now I have the answer. Now I can move on.

Settling in is hard, but I eventually found my rhythm in Jersey. It’s lonely and busy, and everything I had expected. Then my entire life comes crashing down when I realize I haven’t seen my period in two months. I buy a pregnancy test, and it gives me earth-shattering news.
