Chapter 1
Emma had been secretly seeing her best friend’s younger brother, Roy, for five years. Despite the age difference, he was mature beyond his years in every way that mattered.
With all the confidence in the world, Roy always found ways to be with her–whether in his Bentley, on the sofa, or even at a party.
Emma was just gonna take a quick trip to the restroom when Roy pulled her back, bending her over the sink.
He deftly removed her dress, entering her with a look of immense satisfaction, his breath hot against her ear as he moved with intensity.”
“Roy, go easy on me…” Emma murmured, her eyes dreamy and unfocused.”
Roy’s smile was teasing as he leaned in to nip at her earlobe, his voice a seductive whisper, “Already can’t handle it, babe? We’re just getting started.”
Waves of pleasure rolled over her, and Emma surrendered to the sensation. Over the years, she’d tried her best to match Roy’s boundless energy. They had done it in her apartment, in the car and even once, at a park. His youthful stamina and creativity always left her breathless.
Feeling weak all over, she clung to him to keep her balance. Roy watched her with half–closed eyes, his hands possessively caressing her waist. “Why is your waist so soft? Every time I touch it, it’s like I’m enchanted. No other guy is allowed to touch it, only me.“}
Emma knew how possessive he could be and smiled, pulling him in for a kiss. “You know I belong only to you.”
After a few rounds, Roy finally seemed satisfied. He fastened his belt, slipping back into his usual carefree demeanor. He looked like he was about to leave, so Emma caught his hand. “I’ll be thirty next year. My family keeps pushing for me to get married. I haven’t told them about you because you wanted to keep us a secret. They’ve even lined up a few potential matches for me. What are your thoughts?”
Roy paused, turned back to her, and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. His voice was soft and reassuring, “Just wait a little longer, babe. I’m planning to propose.“[
Emma felt her heart finally settle. Watching him disappear down the hallway, she got dressed, picked up her purse, and slowly headed back to the party.
Just as she reached the door, she heard a burst of laughter from inside. “Roy, man, you’ve got guts! It was so loud; everyone heard it. Your girl is something else. Her voice was enough to melt us!”
“Emma’s got that killer body and those curves. Who wouldn’t be tempted? So many guys want her, but she doesn’t even look their way. Only Roy has the charm to win over such a hottie. But after all these years, you’d think he’d have enough practice by now.”
Practice? What practice?
Emma felt a chill, not quite grasping what they were saying. Someone, maybe clueless about the whole situation, finally asked the question she couldn’t bring herself to ask.
“Well, Roy’s been hung up on that high school sweetheart of his. We all told him to go for her. He’s so cute. Who wouldn’t fall for him? But he treasures her too much,. He keeps saying he has no dating experience, no relationship history, and no skills in bed. So, he found someone to practice with.
“And I think that girl is coming back. Roy, after all this practice, it’s time to break it off with Emma, right? Or have you really fallen for her?”
