Noah
towards us in the living room and
set s his briefcase and
suit jacket down on the glass end table above the safe. He sits
down next to me and wraps an arm around my shoulder, pulling me
into his side. "Besides, you shouldn ’ t get too attached to Jess. He ’ s gone before the series is over."
    I can't help but laugh, disguising it with a fit of
coughs, because Caleb just ruined the show for him. Noah glares at
Caleb and growls, "Asshole."
    He looks pretty put out at the fact that Caleb
spoiled the show, and I lift a hand to cover my mouth, hoping to
still hide the fact that I find it so amusing. It doesn't work.
    "What's so funny, shorty?"
    "You," I laugh out. "You were so worried about me
spoiling it that you never saw Caleb coming. I made him watch that
show with me a few years ago on a DVD binge."
    "Whatever." Noah grabs the box of cookies off the
couch and moves over to the large, two-person chair to the left of
the couch. He lounges back, stretching out his legs, and my eyes
involuntarily move to his groin, checking to see if he's still
rocking an erection. I don't see anything.
    Why did I even have to look?
    See , this
is the problem with boy-girl friendships. You have one accidental,
inappropriate reaction and you start to think about that friend
sexually. Like if the boner he had resting against your inner thigh
a few minutes ago was because he's attracted to you. And does he
still have the boner now?
    I shouldn't be thinking about his cock at all.
    Instead, I should be thinking about the wonderful
boyfriend beside me. He works so hard, day in and day out, to
provide a great future for us. When I met him all those years ago I
didn't think much of it. He was a way to distract me from Noah, but
as time went on , real
feelings developed and I realized Caleb could give me everything I
ever wanted in life. He's a good man. I'm lucky to have him.
    I snuggle in closer to his side and inhale his scent.
He's wearing the cologne I bought him for Christmas last year. I
love it on him, but tonight it's mixed with a different scent. Is
it...do I smell...coconut?
    "You want to stick around and play Destiny ?"
Caleb asks Noah as his hands absentmindedly plays with a loose
strand of my hair.
    "You look tired, man. Maybe I should head back across
the hall so you can get some sleep with your girl."
    "I am tired but I need to play for a little bit to
get my mind off this case."
    I can think of other things he could do with me to
get his mind off the case but he's probably too tired for sex, and
honestly , it wouldn't
feel right after being turned on by Noah tonight. A game of Destiny is a good alternative. They may be grown men with
good jobs, but they still play video games like a couple of teenage
boys.
    "Yeah, I can play for a little bit but then I have to
go check on the club."
    "I don't know how you handle hours like that, Noah.
Staying up all-night and sleeping all morning would get exhausting
for me. I'm not twenty anymore, you know? My body can't handle that
strain."
    Noah's bar, Bar Forbidden, closes at one but Club
Desire, which is in the back of the bar, stays open until four
am.
    "It's not bad when you love what you do," Noah
replies as he reopens the cookie box and stuffs another one of my
favorite cookies in his mouth. I'll have to hide those before the
next time he comes over.
    "Do you love the job, or the perks that come with
it? ” Caleb asks.
    Noah smirks. "Both, but the perks make the bad days
worth it." His eyes fall on me and he winks, as my stomach tightens
and I seriously think about throwing up for a few seconds.
    Those "perks" Noah is talking about disgust me. He
has an endless amount of beautiful women working for him and all of
them are vying for a spot in his bed. Lucky for them their odds are
good because the opposite side of his bed has a revolving door. His
bed is never empty and never occupied by a girlfriend–just girls he
sleeps with.
    When Noah inherited Forbidden Desires, Inc. a few
years ago , I
