Maggie
Maggie
That’s my
life—except it’s worse. My friend who keeps “jamming” me is my gay roommate and
if that isn’t a W.T.F. moment, I’m not sure what is.
Fact: He went
home with three—yes, three—of the guys I had been so sure were into me.
Fact: He’s
really pissing me off. I mean, hello? I’m trying to get back in the saddle, but
I’ll never manage to get a boyfriend before the age of fifty if he keeps this
up.
Fact: Secretly,
I wonder what it would be like if he weren’t gay. Why do all the hot, sweet,
tender-hearted guys have to be gay?
Fact: My gay-dar
needs a serious tune-up.
Ry
The day I
interviewed for the room to rent, everything changed. I knew I had met “the
girl”, except there was one small problem: she didn’t want anything to do with
men. I recognized a top-notch force field when I saw one. She’d been burned
badly and didn’t want to deal with a heterosexual guy as a roommate. I could’ve
turned around and found another place to live, but I wanted to live there—with
her.
So I had to go “undercover”.
Fact: I’m in love with my roommate.
Fact: I’m a likely candidate for carpal tunnel surgery since all the action I’ve had for the past year has been my hand.
Fact: She’s going to hate me if I come clean now.
Fact: I’m not giving up. Which means, I’ll just have to continue to run defense until I figure out a way to get Maggie to see the “real” me.
The me that loves her.
The me that would never do her wrong.

Excerpt
“Ryland James!” I bang
on his bathroom door, hollering loudly. “Did you eat the last—”
The door swings open,
drawing my speech to a sudden halt because … ooooh, sweet, dripping wet abs.
My eyes are riveted.
He’s got a towel
wrapped around his waist, and I don’t even realize I’m moving until Ry releases
a sharp hiss at my touch. Because my finger is tracing over the slight
indentations in his abdominal muscles.
“Um …” He clears his
throat, his voice husky and deep. “Mags?”
“Uh-huh,” I murmur
absently, my fingertip stopping one of the trickling droplets of water on his
skin, tracing it down over his belly button, and—
His fingers grasp my
wrist, drawing my hand to a halt, and my eyes dart up to his in alarm because
crap. That was like an out-of-body experience.
“Oh, crap. I’m sorry.
I just really, um … crap.” That’s all I can utter. Nonsense. No one would
believe I have my graduate degree if they heard me right now.
If my tongue had a
voice of its own, it would probably say something like, “Just the tip. That’s
all I want.” The tip of my tongue tracing over Ry’s abs, that is. You know,
just to prove someone Photoshopped him. Or not.
Because I’ll take one
for the team. I’m a giver like that. People might even think of canonizing me
as a saint after all this. Really.
Oh, and then …
Abracadabra! Poof! He’d no longer be gay, profess his undying love
for me, and wouldn’t ever leave me for another guy.
Or woman.
Wow. That scenario
even sounds crazy in my head.
Shaking off my
thoughts, I take one more glance down at his abs—just one more glance—and
that’s when I see it.
“Oh, boy,” I breathe
out. Ry is hard, tenting the towel, and I really want it to drop. Accidentally,
of course. Like an “oops” moment. Totally harmless and innocent.
Oh. My. God. I’m a
horrible person. I’m thinking of my roommate’s penis! My roommate who has
quickly become one of my best friends.
Oh, the shame!
Where did this inner
slut come from? It’s like she’s been lying in wait—for him, apparently.
But, really. I can
take a little peek, right?
