Wild Nights With My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 156

NICOLE

Wrong.

Roman does try to stop me. in fact, he drags me right back into the reom. I see despair dripping from his eyes, and the sight of it scares me.

I’ve never seen him this way before.

“Don’t give me that shit!” he exclaims. “You think I don’t know you’re just saying that to hurt me? You don’t really mean anything you’re saying!”

“What do you know about any of that?” I retort. “You claim to know me so well, yet you think it would’ve been better to keep Emeralda’s pregnancy from me a secret! You thought I would sleep with Sebastian-that’s why you had someone following me!”

“No,” he insists, tightening his hold around my arm.” That’s not true. I’m just trying to keep you safe because l don’t trust him!”

I scoff. “You’re the one who can’t be trusted! Sebastian is a nice guy and-”

“Don’t defend him in front of me. Don’t even say his name,

Nikki!”

Exhaustion washes over me. I stare at Roman in disbelief.

He releases me, and it’s almost like he can read my mind.”We’re going around and around in circles. Just let me go, Roman. Let me leave.”

“I can’t do that. Don’t ask me to give up on you.”

“I’m not asking that. I just need more time.”

He steps even closer to me so the front of our bodies are pressed together. Heat and desire wash over me again, and they’re a terrible combination. “What’s the difference between now and tomorrow? Why can’t things be perfect between us now?”

“Because I need more time.”

Roman watches me intently, and for a moment, I think he’ll give me the space I’m asking him for, but then things change, and his hand goes around the back of my neck. He pulls me closer to him so his lips are brushing against my cheek, and he says, “Do you have any idea how much l missed you?”

I feel his erection against my abdomen, and desire travels down my spine and pools between my legs. I place my hands on his chest to push him away, but I no longer have the urge to do that. His familiar heat. His smell. The way his body feels against mine…l’ve missed all these things.

All of it.

The past month has been hell for me, too.

But it was easier when he kept his distance and never called. It was easier for me to remind myself that he hurtme and I hated him when he was nowhere near me. Now, with his hands on my body and his lips on my skin while he begs me to forgive him, I’m not so sure where my self-respect has gone.

Down the drain, most likely.

“Please,” he whispers between kisses. “Don’t abandon me.

I don’t know who I am without you. I’ve been lost, Nikk… need you. You know I do.”

I shake my head. “You should’ve thought about that before

His head drops to my shoulder and his mouth latches onto my neck. I have to swallow a moan so he doesn’t hear it.

My hands go on his shoulders and I tilt my head even further to the side, giving him access.

“I know,” he murmurs. “I know. I won’t do it again. I swear it to you.”

While he gives me hickeys that I’ll probably regret in the morning, his hands move up and down my back before he settles them over my ass.

When his lips touch mine, everything spirals out of control and I lose track of what’s happening. The kiss deepens and I’m holding onto every part of him I can grab while we stumble toward the bed.
