anymore?”
                  “You know he just has always wanted the best for you. That will never change. No matter how old you get. Hey, where are you going anyway?”
                  “They’re sending me to research things on location in Scotland. I get to stay at least six weeks.” Tsarina didn’t even want to think about having to return early.
                  “So, you are planning to use me for two week sex and then leave?”
                  Damn. When he put it that way it sounded terrible. But it was exactly what her brother said he’d do to her. “Kaeden, it’s not really like that. You never stay with one girl long. This way you wouldn’t have the break up guilt. Right? We’re both adults. What’s wrong with some friends with benefits for a couple of weeks? It might do us both some good.”
                  “You think I'm that much of a dog?” Tsarina heard the annoyance in his voice. “We’re not telling your brother about this?”
                  “No, I don't. I just think we're on the same page with this. And, no, not a word to him. Trystan doesn’t need to know. I can even pick you up somewhere so he wouldn’t see your truck here.” Boy did she sound sneaky. Tsarina laughed. You’d think she’d been doing this all the time. Suddenly she felt like a sixteen year old sneaking a boy into her bedroom through a window while her parents slept down the hall.
                  “You’re embarrassed because of the stuff Trystan said about me?”
                  “Not embarrassed. I’m just not wanting to hear about me adding to your list. Plus, Trystan would be pissed and he’d feel like he had to be mad at you. The two of you are best friends. I can’t let that happen. This way’s just easier. It works out where everyone stays happy and we all get what we want. Hmmm, or are you just not interested in me? It's okay if you aren't. I'm a big girl. I can handle the honesty.”
                  “Right. Easier. Not interested? Geez, Tsarina, you need to ask? I've been interested for years and I find it difficult to believe you don't have a clue.” Kaeden didn’t sound happy or convinced. Was he really not interested.
                  “So, I’ll see you Friday? I’ll pick you up at the mall, you know the spot. Trystan’s spot?” Trystan always parked in one area. That was it. He’d walk five miles before parking anywhere else. It didn't matter if he only needed one thing and knew it was on the opposite side of the building. He was definitely a creature of habit.
                  “Sure. I’ll see you there at seven. Do you want to get something to eat?” Tsarina could hear the hesitation in his voice. She hoped neither of them would regret this later.
                  “I’ll order pizza for delivery.” With a smile, she hung up. Two days until the weekend. And maybe her orgasm would reappear. Seven long months without sex, it had to be hiding in there somewhere, likely screaming it’s head off for release. Oh orgasm, where art thou?
    ****
                  Kaeden couldn’t believe it. Tsarina didn’t want to be seen with him. It’s true her brother would be a problem, but he was all right with that. He could handle Trystan. Did she think him a pussy? That he had to hide behind her skirts rather than be a man? He’d never been hidden before. Evidently his reputation for screwing and losing was becoming a huge label. One that Tsarina didn’t agree with or want sullying her good girl reputation.
                  She'd been the victim. The good girl. The “Oh poor Tsarina.” after the breakup with her loser ex-boyfriend. It was an image she planned to work and take advantage of for as long as she could.
                  Still, his cock wouldn’t let him say no to the date. Tsarina, willing and without
