Apartment Hunting with My Brother’s Best Friend
Sophia
I haven’t seen Roman in years, and yet here he is, ready to help me look for an apartment. Now I’m seeing him in a new light...and I want him more than anything in the world.
Roman
She’s just as irresistible as she was to me three years ago. I’ve kept my distance, knowing she’s too young for me, but now that I’m here, there’s no way I can keep my hands off of her.

Chapter One
Roman
"Hey man, I know this is really last minute, but could you do me a huge favor?" Jamie asks me from the other end of the line. Standing by the window in my apartment and looking out at the city, I wait for him to tell me what it is he needs.
“I promised my sister that I’d help her look for an apartment today...she’s worried about what questions to ask the real estate agent. She doesn’t want to get scammed. And since you’re in property development, I thought you might be able to help…”
At the mention of his sister, I stiffen. I haven't seen Sophia in over three years, but I think about her every damn day. The last time I saw her, she was eighteen and the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I knew even then that I shouldn't even be thinking about her like that. I'm eleven years older than her, for Christ's sake. But ever since she blossomed into a woman...she's a goddess. Platinum hair, gentle blue eyes, porcelain skin. My cock hardens just thinking of her that day, pure as heaven in a knee-length white dress, though nothing could hide the sensual curves of her body. Damn, the amount of times I've thought about her in that dress is criminal. I dream over and over of hoisting that dress up around her hips and stealing away her innocence right on the spot.
And this is why I can’t do this favor for Jamie. I won’t be able to control myself around her. I’ve wanted to see her every day since that day three years ago, but I’ve always avoided her up until now. Every man has his limits for his self-control, and she is like kryptonite to me. I shake my head to myself.
“I don’t know, man. Why can’t you take her?”
“That’s the problem...I’ve double-booked myself. I have to go and see a client today. I know, I know, I’m always flaking out…”
I zone out as he continues to reel off excuses. My cock is throbbing in my pants just at the thought of seeing her again. I can’t go. I’ll cause all sorts of trouble if I’m allowed anywhere near her. If Jamie knew what I was thinking, he wouldn’t even be asking me to do this…
But the offer is irresistible. A whole day with that angel. It might just be the death of me, and yet I can’t hold back anymore. I can’t make any more excuses.
I have to see her.
“Alright. Where should I meet her?”
Sophia
My eyes fall on him as he steps out of his shiny Porsche and I feel butterflies gathering in my stomach. I haven't seen my brother's best friend, Roman, in over three years, but I've never forgotten the way he made me feel. That day I saw him last, my brother's birthday party, his eyes roamed over me like he was a hungry animal, and for the first time in my life, I felt myself getting wet. Just one look at me and he had me addicted to him. I'd met him before when I was younger, but I never understood then what he would come to mean to me. Roman, this handsome hunk, this sexual God, this man made of stone and steel, is the only one who has ever caught my eye, and I've been dreaming of seeing him again ever since.
He's just as sexy and composed as when I saw him last. Dressed in an expensive gray suit and with dark shades covering his eyes, it's hard to read his expression. But I know under those sunglasses he has eyes as blue as the ocean, and I know that under his clothes, he has a body as chiseled as a Greek statue. I've dreamt a million times of the way he looked the last time I saw him, flipping burgers on the barbecue with his shirt flapping open, revealing beneath the abs I've longed to touch ever since. Even just glancing at him now, I know I'm in deep trouble. I'm wet between my legs. My knees feel weak.
I want him more than I’ve ever wanted anything.
He approaches me and I see a smile growing on his face. I wonder if he's looking me up and down behind those shaded glasses. I hope he is, but even if he isn't, I shudder as though his eyes have burned a trail along my body. He pulls me in for a hug and he's all hard. Hard abs, hard arms, hard cock pressing against my leg…
