 Virginal stance? She grinned.  What are you talking about?
 You not living with Xander before you re married.
 I m not doing that because I don t want to live in sin. She laughed.  I m doing it
for you.
 For me?
 Yes! She shook her head.  I know you don t want me to move out, and I don t want
to either. I d love for Xander to move in and we all live together, but he would never go
for that. And remember he kinda already asked me to move in with him, and I kinda
already said yes.
 What? My jaw dropped.  You don t have to do this for me. If you want to live with
him beforehand, you should.
 He asked me to move in before he proposed and while I was happy, I didn t really
know what to say, she said with a shy smile.  I didn t know how to tell you then and I felt
so bad how you found out, but I thought about it and I don t want to move out and leave
you just yet. So I told him I prefer that we don t move in together until we re married.
 Wow. I felt as if I were in shock.  I don t know what to say.
 Neither did he. She laughed.  I don t think he was too happy that I changed my
mind about moving in earlier.
 Dump him, then. I laughed.  Find a guy who will be cool with that situation. Who
needs Xander anyway? Tell him to keep his cheap-ass ring, I joked, and Liv laughed.
 You know how much I love him, she said dreamily, and I nodded as we both gazed
at her beauty of a ring.
 I know.
 This is it for me, Alice. Her eyes were soft as she gazed at me.  He s the one I ve
been waiting for my whole life. He s the one who makes me feel whole. He s my better
half. My perfect half. And he loves me. He really loves me. After everything. She stopped
then and grabbed my hands.  I never thought I d meet someone like him.
 I know. And you deserve him, I said seriously.  He s perfect for you. I m so happy
for you, Liv.
 I want you to have what I have. She squeezed my hands.  I want you to be loved
and to love like I love.
 Maybe it s just not in the cards for me, I said, my eyes watering.  Maybe I m not
the girl who gets the forever love. Maybe I m not the girl who gets the guy. Maybe I m just
destined to be by myself forever. A lone tear fell from my eyes, and I looked down and I
felt my heart breaking for the millionth time that week  Maybe I m that girl who gets no
one.
 You ve got Aiden.
 I don t know what I ve got with Aiden, I groaned and more tears fell from my eyes.
 We spent last night together and it was wonderful, Liv. It was so perfect, and I felt as if
my heart and soul were on fire. He was perfect. The perfect lover.
 Ugh, Liv groaned.  This is weird to hear about my brother.
 I m sorry.
 It s fine. She smiled.  I can deal with it.
 He did things to me, Liv. My voice dropped.  You don t even want to know, but he
bossed me around and made me strip off and then we made love against his window.
 His window? Her eyes widened.
 You had to be there. I laughed.  Let s just say it was hotter than hot.
 Wow.
 But then Elizabeth texted him. I bit my lower lip.
 And said what?
 She asked him something about me seeing the handcuff marks.
 No way! Liv s mouth dropped open.  Why would she ask him that?
 I don t know. I shook my head.  I was too scared to ask him. I sighed.  Do you
think he is seeing both of us? Do you think I should pretend to have another boyfriend to
try and make him jealous?
 No. Liv shook her head vehemently.  Maybe we ve gone about this the wrong
way, Liv said after a few seconds.
 What do you mean? I looked up at her and wiped my tears from my eyes.
 Maybe we ve been too immature. She sighed.  Maybe we tried playing too many
games.
 You think so?
 I think so. She nodded.  And so does Xander.
 Huh? I sighed.  What did he say?
 He said that he thinks we need to grow up.
 What? My jaw dropped.
 I know, right? Liv wrinkled her nose.  I was like, excuse me, who do you think
you re talking to? Then she paused.  But I think he s right. Maybe all the games and
tricks and stuff aren t the way to go about getting a guy.
 It worked for you, I said softly.
 Barely, she said.  And maybe the games didn t help me. Maybe it was the games
that nearly made me lose him.
 Yeah, I sighed.  I guess we re really growing up now.
 Yeah. She nodded.  Who would have thunk it?
 A skunk. I grinned at her and blew my nose.  A skunk would have thunk it.
 I love you, Alice. She squeezed my hand.  My brother s an idiot if he can t see how
perfect you are for him.
 We both already know he s an idiot.
 That is true. She grinned.  Hey, before I forget, will you be my maid of honor?
 Try and stop me. I laughed.
 I have some advice for you. She wrinkled her nose.  Well, the advice comes from
Xander, but it s good advice.
 What s the advice?
 Xander thinks you need to have a serious talk with Aiden. He thinks you need to
tell him everything you re thinking and see where he stands.
 I don t know about that. I made a face.  I don t want him to think I m a sad case.
 You should have a conversation with him, she said and then grinned.  I just had
an idea.
 Oh, gosh, what idea? My eyes narrowed.  Didn t we say that we need to be mature
from here on out?
 We do. She held up her finger.  Hold on, let me get something. She jumped up,
ran out of the room and returned a minute later with her laptop.  You need to go here.
 Where? I looked at the page on her screen. The site said  Kat s Corner and had a
pair of furry handcuffs on the top of the screen.  What s Kat s Corner?
 That s where you re going to take Aiden.
 I m going to take Aiden to Kat s Corner? Why?
 Because you want to show him that you can be all things. She grinned.  Imagine
how shocked he ll be if you bring up the BDSM stuff first; unless of course you guys
discussed it last night.
 Well, we didn t discuss it. I grinned.  But I think it was pretty obvious that he was
into taking control.
 Text him, Liv said.  Text him and tell him to meet you there tomorrow night.
 What? My eyes widened.  You re being serious? [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
