Suddenly it was he who was pissed. He moved off her and stood up. “I like how you act like you didn’t want it to go further than it did. Kind of an asshole sort of thing to do to us.”

“To us?” she asked as she sat up.

“You and me, that us,” he said as he zipped and buttoned his jeans. “Don’t pretend it isn’t hurting you to stop what we were about to do. I know you’re aching for it too. Just like I am. Only you’re teasing us both. When do you think you’ll stop doing that, Cait?”

“When are you going to be real with me, Phoenix?” she asked as she got up and ran her hands through her hair to tame it. Her clothes were awry, so she straightened them.

“Probably about the same time you decide to be real with me, Cait,” he said then pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Her body immediately pressed into his. Her mouth opened and her tongue played with his. She was warm and inviting as she ran her hands up his arms then over his back. Phoenix knew she was holding back in order to trap him. He eased his kiss then asked her again, “So, will you come home with me for the weekend?”

“Promise me you won’t pressure me into having sex the whole time and I will.” She leveled her eyes at him to let him know she was deadly serious.

“I tell you what, Caity-cat. I won’t even make one attempt to get you into bed. I have a spare bedroom that’ll be yours while you’re visiting me. But you have to do the same for me. No, teasing. You know you’ve been doing that, right?”

She played dumb. “No, I didn’t realize that at all. I thought we were making out is all. I’m not the kind of girl who sleeps around. I’m not easy.”

“No, you are not,” he said then let her go. “I’d never call you that.”

Cait watched as Phoenix walked away from her. And she had to fight herself not to blurt out everything. How they knew about their stupid bet and had come up with something just as stupid to get back at them for making her and her sisters pawns in their game.

What she didn’t know was Phoenix was fighting himself not to tell her about the bet and what they’d overheard the girls saying too. It seemed they were on the same wavelength but were too afraid of the others being mad at them to say what they wanted to.
