The Pact (The McGregor Brothers, #1)

by Karina Halle

I wanted something real and pure and true and fuck it if it sounds like pussy-whipped bullshit because I needed something in my life that made my life worth sharing. I wanted Steph. My best friend. She was my baby blue and I was her cowboy. So a pact, a foolish, naïve pact, was born.

“Nine years. I’ve been waiting nine years for this. Nine years to finally have you the way I’ve always needed you.” I blink my eyes open and stare up at him. His look is so intense, so sincere that I feel like I’m sinking further into the mattress, like I’m boneless and stupefied. I can’t believe this. I can’t believe he’s lying here with me naked, that my body still throbs from where his cock was inside me, that he’s telling me things I’ve only dreamed of hearing. “And now that I’ve had you,” he says softly, his fingertip wiping away a tear that I didn’t know had escaped, “I want nothing else.”
