Page 9 of Torn Between Two Brothers

So then why did she have a knot of disappointment swelling in her stomach? Over the course of the night as she got to know more about him, both sharing childhood stories, he didn’t so much as even try to seduce her. She wasn’t sure why that bothered her so much. It wasn’t like she was going to sleep with him again. Then again it wasn’t like she didn’t want to, either.

Oh boy, she was in big trouble here. She loved the excitement of her relationship with Adam, the wild way they made love and how he catered to her every need on the weekend when he was home, but couldn’t deny that she liked a quiet weekday evening topped off by soft lovemaking with his brother equally as much. A riot of emotions churned inside her and she shook her head to clear it.

“You okay?” Garret asked. He stood, reached for her hand and hauled her to her feet.

“I’m fine,” she lied as she made her way to the bedroom. Alone. “Just tired.”

“Sleep well and when you awake, I’ll have your breakfast ready for you.”

She glanced back over her shoulder and when she caught him tidying up behind them, she wondered how she ever thought she could share a simple meal with Garret, because there was nothing simple about a guy like him.

Shiloh was right. She really was torn between two brothers.

Chapter Six

After a fitful sleep, it took great effort for Lauren to get her head on straight. She woke to fresh coffee and pancakes, and during easy breakfast conversation, they forged an intimate connection and she feared that her interest in Adam’s brother went deeper than just sex.

After they cleared the dishes, Garret walked her to the hospital. Determined to put her feelings for him out of her mind, and berating herself for actually feeling them in the first place she buried herself in her work. At the end of her busy day, Lauren rushed home, needing to get her thoughts together before she met up with Adam, who would likely be calling her any minute now. God, just thinking about him had her heart racing and her mind spinning. She cared a great deal about Adam, loved him really, and she was determined to make things right between them.

She would make things right between them.

She stepped off the train, hurried down the sidewalk and rushed inside her condo, needing to jump in the shower to wash a

way her workday, but when she moved through the threshold, and the enticing aroma of spicy cologne fragranced the air and stirred her libido she instantly knew someone was inside.

And she knew exactly who that someone was.

With hurried steps she turned the corner and found Adam in the living room waiting for her. Overwhelmed by his rugged good looks, short dark hair and chocolate eyes, her glance raced over him, pausing briefly around the vicinity of his belt when she saw how happy he was to see her. Looking sexy as hell, he was dressed in jeans and a buttoned shirt, flowers in his hand, an open bottle of champagne on the coffee table. Intense eyes brimming with raw need and desire met hers and elicited a shiver from deep within. God, he looked like he wanted to eat her alive.

With predatory movements, he came toward her, his grin sexy, full of want. Her heart leapt at the same time her body moistened and her pussy clenched. God she missed him terribly. She struggled with her guilt as she looked at him, her stomach churning because the last thing she wanted to do was hurt him.

When she took the flowers, smelled them, then carefully placed them on the sofa table beside her, he reached for her and they exchanged a long heated look.

“I’ve missed you, baby,” he said.

A tremor raced through her as the heat in his voice warmed her chilled body. “I’ve missed you, too,” she managed to get out as her heart fluttered and every fiber of her being ached to be with him.

As he pulled her into his arms and crushed her against him her knees wobbled and her chest tightened with emotion. God, she really did love him, which made what she had to say all that much harder.

“Adam,” she rushed out, feeling breathless, worried.

His pressed his finger to her lips. “No. There’s no time for talking because there are things I need to do to you first. Things I’ve been dreaming about all week.”

“But–”

He swallowed her protest with a hard kiss, a kiss so powerful and demanding it rendered her senseless, the sensual overload making her forget what it was she wanted to say.

“I mean it. No talking.” Her toes curled as he pulled her scrubs from her waist and peeled her shirt over her head. “I want you naked. Then I’m going to fuck you.” He roughly ran the pad of his thumb over her mouth. “I’m going to start here.” His hand trailed lower until he cupped her moist pussy through her scrubs. “Then here.” His eyes darkened, as he slid a hand around her waist and stroked her ass. “Then I’m going to finish here.”

A shiver wracked Lauren’s body with the memories of the last time he took her like that, and she let loose a heated moan as he gave a detailed itinerary of what he was going to do to her this time. Right now she was too far gone to talk, too lost in the haze of lust to think of anything except what he wanted to do to her body.

He stepped back and his eyes dripped with promise as his glance raced over her lacy bra and quivering abdomen. In a voice full of dark desire, he ordered, “Now finish undressing for me, then I want to watch while you shower.”

Passion rose in her and Lauren’s entire body quaked with excitement as Adam’s intense gaze took in her every movement as she stripped. She removed her bra and when she freed her full breasts and lightly stroked her nipples, his deep growl of approval cut through the silence. Using slow movements intended to tease, she wiggled her hips as she slid her scrubs down her legs, then she toyed with her lace panties before removing them and kicking them away.

Adam followed her down the hall and into the bathroom, where she adjusted the spray and stepped over the side of the tub. Still fully dressed he stared at her through the open glass shower pane, and his voyeuristic tendencies secretly thrilled her. She loved the naughty, playful side of him, and really, really wanted to please him and give him what he’d been missing all week.

Trying to keep her focus, Lauren grabbed her body wash and generously lathered her skin. She paid extra attention to her breasts, pulling on her nipples and squeezing them together. She moaned in sensual bliss as she stimulated herself and taunted Adam.
