after that, dating casually, avoiding commitment, and rarely staying in one place for very long.
    “Why don’t you grab your stuff—” Brad gestured past Madison’s shoulder, nodding toward her bedroom, “—and you can shower at my place while I drop Jonah off and make a quick trip to the hardware store.”
    The thought of climbing into his shower, using the same soap he’d lathered his body with earlier that morning had her nipples aching and her sex moistening. Hoping to hide her body’s reaction, she coughed into her sleeve and said, “That’s okay, I can just grab a shower at Sophie’s.”
    “Only if you’re really, really quiet.” Sophie frowned and smoothed her blonde hair behind her ears. “Karley was up with the baby all night and the two are sleeping it off.”
    Madison drove her hands into her apron pockets. She’d forgotten that their friend Karley and her newborn Brooklyn were staying with Sophie until her husband returned from overseas.
    “Besides,” Brad said, “you don’t want to spread your cold germs around.”
    It was true. She didn’t want to risk giving her germs to an infant.
    “Yeah,” Sophie agreed, her expression deadpan as she nudged Madison with her elbow. “You should probably go to Brad’s. That way you can make as much noise as you want. Heck, you could even scream and no one would hear you.”
    Fully aware of her friend’s innuendo, Madison sniffed and glared at her. Oh, she was so going to kill her when she got her alone. “But then I’ll be spreading my germs around his place, won’t I?”
    As if on cue Brad sneezed. “I’ve got a cold too, so it won’t matter.” Madison exhaled slowly, grateful that he hadn’t picked up on Sophie’s sexual innuendo. Giving her no time to protest, Brad slipped past them. “I’ll meet you at the truck.”
    When he disappeared down the steps, Jonah came out from his room looking rugged and handsome dressed in his army fatigues. “Hey, Sophie,” he greeted before turning to Madison. “Dibs on the first shower,” he said, in typical Jonah fashion, then rushed down the steps after his brother.
    A wide grin split Sophie’s face as she watched him go, her gaze latched on his backside until he disappeared outside. “So,” she said, “you live with one of the hottest guys I know and are about to shower at his gorgeous brother’s place.” Sophie tapped a painted nail on her pursed lips and Madison could almost hear the wheels turning when a sound of delight rumbled in her friend’s throat. “Forget S’mores Cracker, girlfriend. I think it’s high time you made yourself a Graham Sandwich , don’t you?”
    Jesus Christ, Madison was going to be the death of him.
    He’d been hoping to avoid her when he showed up to collect his brother, and the last thing he expected was to find her in a goddamn wet T-shirt, looking so fucking hot he almost shot off a load then and there.
    Brad drummed his fingers on his steering wheel and shifted in his seat, uncomfortable as his cock pressed insistently against his unforgiving jeans. Christ, seeing her in that T-shirt, blinking up at him with those dark bedroom eyes of hers as the lush swell of her body beckoned his touch—his cock—had damn near done him in.
    Fuck.
    He’d be lying if he said he didn’t want her in his bed. Every time he looked at her all he could think about was caging her beneath him and fucking her long and hard, driving balls deep until she screamed out his name. Oh yeah, he’d make her scream, and when he did—contrary to what Sophie thought— everyone would hear it.
    Maybe then he’d be able to stop thinking about her when he was alone at night. Hell, who was he kidding? He thought about her even when he wasn’t alone.
    He’d always liked his kid brother’s best friend, but six months ago, after returning home from a long overseas tour, he suddenly began to see the sweet girl next door in different ways.
    Sinful ways…
    But he wasn’t going to act on
