Love’s Hot by Karen Deen

KANE
She wants to be my buddy.
You know, the naked type—no strings attached, no awkwardness.
Friends who are lovers but with no relationship hassles.
To a man who has nothing to offer a woman except pleasure, it’s an offer too good to refuse
Days of laughter and nights full of hot searing passion.
It can’t last. I need it to end, my life depends on our demise.
But I miss her clothes on my bedroom floor.
As she looks up at me from her knees, my heart … the distraction … I just can’t.
She’s here in front of me, so how do I keep her safe?

LILLY
Holy hotness!
It’s a crime to be that good-looking, surely. It’s not just looks, I’m certain.
His skills in the bedroom keep me awake dreaming of more.
I don’t want to be attached, but I’m not ready to let him go. I come up with the perfect plan.
Friends with benefits, an arrangement with rules.
F… buddies—his name and his rules. A name he takes seriously and lives up to.
I’ve never known life to be this good but just as I fall under his spell, he’s gone.
The rules say I should too. But I won’t because his love is worth fighting for.
I’m about to make him see that too
