Lying is hard. Not accepting the truth is even harder.
When Lily
Williams’s date abandons her on New Year’s Eve, she makes a new resolution.
Stop taking the easy path, dating guys who are all wrong for her, and find the
right path. Whatever the hell that is.
She never
thought when the ball fell, it would be her best friend Elle Wright’s lips
she’d be tasting. Before the night ends, she’s tasted a whole lot more. It’s a
night of magic. A night of perfection.
A night
Elle is convinced was only a cocktail-fueled dream.
Now it’s
time for Lily to put up or shut up. Let Elle keep pretending to herself, or do
the hard thing—fight for a love that could all too easily slip through their
fingers.
Excerpt
“I’m not asking you to get down and dirty with me in front of everyone. I just want to watch the ball drop and get a kiss at midnight.”
He raised an eyebrow at her, as if her cheese done slid off her mental cracker.
“Are you kidding me? You’re not even going to kiss me? It’s tradition. One of the nice things about dating someone at New Year’s.”
“You don’t actually believe in that, do you?” There went his eyes again.
Her New Year’s Resolution bubbled up inside her frontal cortex.
Stop taking the easy route. Instead, take the right path.
“One… Happy New Year!”
Lily opened her mouth to tell him where to shove it, but someone took her face, pulled it around and laid a big kiss on her lips. Her eyelids flickered for a second, long enough to recognize Elle. Lily exhaled then breathed her in as she turned toward her fully, holding onto her waist.
Her lips were soft, lush and she tasted like margarita, and cherry Chapstick.
Lily moaned.
It was quiet, but the sound bounced down her spine until it landed on her clit. Several times.
Heat radiated from her core and she couldn’t help thinking she was more turned on with a closed mouth kiss with Elle, than she was giving what’s his face a blowjob.
“Mmm…” Elle sighed when they both pulled back.
Lily’s pussy throbbed in need as Elle hugged her. “Happy New Year to you too.”
It wasn’t the first time they’d kissed. It had happened several times over the last few years, but none had felt as if Lily would wither away if she didn’t get another one.
It was more than just platonic friendship, but she didn’t know how much.
And she didn’t like girls. As in like like.
At least she didn’t think so. Maybe?
“We’re gonna play a game. You game?” Elle snickered and grabbed her hand, leading her through the doorway into the living room where everyone else was still making out.
“Sure, let me just…” Lily turned to focus on Charles. “You coming?”
The hairy eyeball wasn’t quite accurate for the suspicious look twisting his features. “No. I’m tired. I’ve got to be at work early tomorrow.”
“It’s Saturday. And New Year’s.”
“My next case isn’t going to present itself.”
“It’s a civil case for a dry cleaner. Why don’t you just stay? Have some fun? Unwind?”
“I’ll talk to you later.”
And without another word he set his cup down, palmed his keys out of his pocket and he was gone.
Good thing they hadn’t driven together or she would have been finding another way home. Gladly.
“Aww…awww…awwww…asshat.” Elle smiled through her fake sneeze and didn’t give Lily any time to rethink her decision to stick around.
“Lily, yay! Are you playing?” Jessica gave her a quick squeeze as she walked past them toward the kitchen.
“I guess so, but I don’t know what we’re playing.”
“Spin the bottle,” came a loud chorus of voices from the other friends as they moved furniture and sat in a big open circle.
“No way.”
“Come on it’ll be fun,” Elle defended. “I know you can’t drink but you can at least celebrate New Year’s in style.” It looked as if ten couples formed a ring. Elle had come without a date since she’d just broken up with her boyfriend, so it looked as if Lily now filled in for her. She moved Lily into the circle and pointed to the ground. “Sit. Take a load off.”
“Why the hell not?” She took her seat and Elle sat directly across from her.
“Got the bottle.” Jessica placed an empty glass bottle in the center of the circle and sat beside it.
“You have to play, Jess.” A cute redhead on Lily’s right spoke up. “It was your idea.”
“Nope. My boyfriend doesn’t get home for at least another hour from the club he was playing at tonight. And this way we have an even number. It’s perfect.” She looked around to make sure everyone was sitting where they needed to be. “Let’s play!”
Lily’s palms grew warm and her fingers twitched as they all watched the bottle spin round and round on Jessica’s sleek hardwood floor.
It finally stopped on a couple, Barry and Thalia, whom she’d known since college.
“Come here, woman.”
“Gladly.”
They crawled toward the middle where the bottle still lay, and they kissed with an urgency she felt clear down to her toes.
On all fours they kissed, nipping at each other, smiling as the rest of the group looked on. Snickers and giggles and sighs filled the space around them.
“Ten seconds,” Jessica called out.
Lily hadn’t noticed Jessica had backed off and was staring at her phone.
“Time.” Jessica cleared her throat when they didn’t stop. “Time.”
“Mmm. That was yummy,” Thalia shared with the rest of them. “That was the fastest thirty seconds ever.”
“Thirty seconds, that’s all we get?” Elle piped up somewhere between relieved and disappointed.
“Yep. We decided to cap it at thirty per spin.” Jessica moved in and spun the bottle again. “We wanted this to be fun and sexy, not turn into an orgy.”
“Speak for yourself,” one of her best guy friends, Mario, called out as each of them watched the glass twirling around and around on the floor.
Lily snickered, but it died on her lips as the bottle stopped, pointing at her and Elle.
She arched her back as Elle prowled toward the middle of the circle. She reminded Lily of a jungle cat stalking its prey.
Her sexy appeal, paired with her childlike exuberance, were a sight to behold.
Before she fled the room and hid for fear of making a fool of herself she moved toward Elle.
“And go,” Jessica instructed them with her makeshift timer in hand again.
Elle didn’t hesitate. She closed the distance within a stuttered heartbeat.
Her kiss.
It infused Lily’s insides with something akin to joy, and timidity, and panic all wrapped into one hot moment.
“Wait. Hold on,” one of the guys around the circle called out.
Lily turned her head, breaking the lip suction she had on her friend’s mouth. “What?”
“You call that a kiss?” Mario wrinkled his nose and stared at them disapprovingly. “I’ve kissed people deeper on the subway that I bumped into.” He grabbed the guy sitting next to him by the front of his shirt and yanked him into a lip-lock.
It shocked everyone, including apparently the guy whose lips were being used, but it was over before he could complain.
“See. Nothing.”
“Dude, I’m not gay.”
“Then you’re welcome for me expanding your horizons. You can now take that off your bucket list.”
Everybody chuckled including the kissee.
“So what, Mario? This wasn’t billed as make out with the person across from you. It’s spin the bottle. A kiss. That’s it.” Lily shrugged and sat back on her hunches so her derriere wasn’t up in the air any more.
His brown eyes twinkled with mischief. “This is New Year’s Eve, pretty girl. The night dreams are made. Just ask the guy sitting next to me.” He bobbed his eyebrows and everyone laughed again, but he got serious, staring right at her, into her, and she held her breath.
He’d had the uncanny ability to see inside her for as long as they’d known each other. Probably why she’d been avoiding him for weeks. He always saw too much. Especially the stuff she wanted to keep hidden.
“This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. A one of a kind moment, never to return. Don’t waste those. They’re precious and fleeting.” He leaned a bit forward, ignoring everyone else. “So try again, and stop over thinking it.”
“Yeah,” someone else yelled as Lily faced Elle again. “Go get ‘em, tiger.”
The room rumbled with laughter again but it all faded into white noise.
Elle was the only person she saw. The only person who existed in that moment.
Her cheeks were flushed and she bit her lip as she tucked a piece of blonde hair behind her ear. Elle looked young and innocent and gorgeous.
Before she could think better of it, Lily crawled to her and pulled her up until they knelt together. They touched at their knees and the tips of their breasts. Lightning-quick arousal flashed beneath Lily’s skin as she tunneled her fingers into Elle’s hair and brought her lips to hers once more.
But this time…
This time was different.
Decadently Yours,
