Never to Love Read Online Free PDF

together for a while, I actually had to make them go out on a date to prevent “trouble in paradise” rumors before they began. When the rumors began before I preempted them, it forced me to get a little more creative.
    “We don’t have any premiers to prepare for, and based on the nature of the questions you’ve been asking lately, I bet you’ve been spending a lot of time writing ‘just-in-case’ press releases to fill in the fifty hours of unpaid overtime you insist on working every week.”
    On his way to the front door, Tate diverted his course when he overheard part of our conversation. “There’s no point in arguing with her. You know she’s irresistible.” He placed a kiss on the top of his girlfriend’s head. “You’ve worked on other charitable projects. What’s different about this one?”
    They didn’t involve working with Thomas-fucking-Ramsay. Staring Tate down, a look of realization finally hit his pretty face. Now he remembers . Asshole.
    “How about I take the next one that comes along? I’ll even go out and look for another project today.” The nearly identical expressions on their faces told me I wasn’t going to be able to get out of this.
    With my eyes, I silently threatened Tate. All the asshole did was shrug. Something must have changed over the past two years because now it seemed as if he didn’t care if I told her.
    “I need to get to work. See you later, babe,” Tate said, kissing her cheek this time.
    When the front door closed behind the actor, I knew it was time to come clean, even though I really didn’t want to. “Here’s the thing. You know how I haven’t spent more than one night with a guy in years?”
    “Yes, although I still don’t understand why.” I could also tell she didn’t know how it applied to the current conversation.
    “Well, around the time you met Sawyer, I met his brother Thomas. It was before I knew about his connection to you.” Understanding lit her eyes. “Yeah, we fucked. Based on everything you know about him, he seems like just the kind of guy I’d go for, right?”
    “Yeah, I once joked with Sawyer that Thomas’s commitment issues and extremely high self-esteem reminded me of you. I called him ‘Juli with a dick.’ Sawyer said calling you ‘Thomas with tits’ had a better ring to it.”
    “Hey, I may run away from the first sign of yucky feelings, and I admit I know exactly how awesome I am, but from what I’ve heard, he’s a total jerk. I am not a total jerk.”
    “That’s why I specified commitment issues and ego. You definitely aren’t a jerk,” she agreed. “Back to the topic at hand. What happened that made you avoid him for this long? I’ve seen you interact with lots of guys you’ve fucked.”
    “He asked for two extra nights.” I shuddered at the thought. “We agreed up front it would only be one night, but apparently, his dick didn’t get the message. I can’t deal with that kind of clinginess.”
    “Do you seriously think wanting to sleep with you three nights instead of one equates to him being clingy? If there’s one thing Thomas isn’t, it’s clingy.”
    “We met out of town, and he was only going to be there three nights. Who’s to say he wouldn’t have asked for more if he hadn’t had a time limit? You should have seen the way he looked at me.”
    “You’re a big girl and have never had a problem telling anyone no. If he gets clingy or annoying, which I don’t see happening, we can sic Sawyer on him. Please, just think about the kids we’ll be helping. Is there anyone you’d trust to do as good a job as you would?”
    Dammit, she had to go and play the ego card.
    Maybe I’d get lucky and Thomas wouldn’t remember me.
    Who was I trying to kid? My pussy and I were unforgettable.
    “I hate you so much.” My lower lip jutted out like that of a pouty child, which is precisely how I felt. “How did he get involved with this to begin with, anyway?”
    “Alissa, an old…friend…of his,
