Four Letter Word (Love Logic #2) - K.M. Neuhold Page 0,10
had last night, I want to see him, if for no other reason than to prove to myself that even if we’re not sleeping together, nothing has really changed. We were best friends before sex got involved, and we can keep being best friends now that I’ve taken it out of the equation. But god knows what kind of drama might ensue if Leo gets out of the shower and finds Hudson here.
I sigh, sagging back on the couch. It’s like the second half of senior year all over again, Hudson and Leo having to be kept apart like vicious dogs while I’m stuck in the middle having to split my time and choose between my two best friends.
When I hear the shower shut off, I send Hudson a Nicolas Cage meme because I know it’ll make him laugh and then set my phone down.
The bathroom door swings open, warm, humid air billowing out into my small apartment.
“Pizza’s on its—” Words die on my lips as Leo steps out wearing nothing but a too small towel around his waist. His skin is glistening with water droplets, the dark trail of hair from his belly button downward drawing my attention. There’s the slightest bulge in the front of the towel, and I know if I let myself look hard enough, I’ll be able to make out the ridge of his cockhead. The towel knot over his hip is barely holding on for dear life, and the little devil on my shoulder cheers for it to fail.
“My eyes are up here, B,” Leo says, his rich, deep voice full of humor.
“Tsh, if you’re going to stand naked in my living room, you’re going to get ogled,” I say with as much bravado as I can manage to cover my mortification.
Leo throws his head back and laughs. “Fair enough. That can be our second roommate rule.”
“Our second?”
“The sock thing is the first,” he reminds me.
“Oh, right,” I give a weak chuckle.
He rounds the couch and reaches for his duffle bag, unzipping it and rifling through the clothes tightly packed inside it. The few boxes he had sent containing his other things line the wall outside my bedroom. If he’d had anymore, he would’ve needed a storage unit, but luckily there was enough space in here for what he decided to have shipped.
Leo pulls a pair of gray sweatpants out of the duffle, followed by a red t-shirt. Then, without warning, he drops his towel. I suck in a sharp breath and slam my eyes closed. As cavalier as I might pretend to be, I don’t think my heart can take the shock of finally seeing Leo’s dick after all these years. I mean, there’s no way it can be as epic as I’ve always imagined, right? Yes, Hudson’s cock turned out to be better than I’d been picturing, and now that I have Riot’s cock to compare to others, it’ll be a tough competition, but still.
He laughs again, and the sound rumbles through me like a ripple of thunder. “Thought I was going to get ogled if I was naked in the living room,” he teases. “You can’t get a man’s hopes up like that and then deny him the pleasure when the time comes.” He purrs the word pleasure like it’s the filthiest word in the English language. My cock swells against my thigh, and I hold up the middle finger in what I assume is still his general direction—unless he moved after I closed my eyes.
“I shouldn’t have given you a challenge like that. You’re going to basically live here naked now, aren’t you?”
“I don’t think you’ve given me much choice,” he concludes. “Your virgin eyes are safe now. I’ve got pants on.”
I snort. “My eyes are far from virgin, but thank you.” I open them and have to bite back a groan. Leo wearing a pair of gray sweatpants, clearly sans underwear, is no better than the towel. The outline of his dick is just as prominent and clearly a little excited now.
Fuck. I squirm in my seat, averting my gaze again before I do something stupid like confess to Leo that even sixteen years later, I still think about that stupid kiss. It was a bet—it didn’t mean anything to either of them—it was only my dumb ass that took something so innocent and turned it into a lifelong obsession with my two best friends.
There’s a knock at the door, blessedly saving me from my own thoughts. I jump
