good as he got, but no
matter how good or how much into the night the sex went, he never slept over.
Depending on the girl, he would either leave right after with a promise to call
if the sex was that great, or he’d wait until they fell asleep before he snuck
out. It was the best strategy with the whiny clingy ones.
    But with Loraine it was
different. He had to handle it differently. The best decision would be to walk
away from her right at that moment. She was her sister’s best friend and he
didn’t want to make things weird in case their paths crossed again. But at the
same time, she was Crazy Lori, the girl who he’d dreamed about having ever
since he heard her voice on the phone. That need only had grown worse when he’d
seen her on video chat, witnessing how much she truly cared for Riana.
    Yes, she was blonde and
blue eyed, but, she was Loraine, his Crazy Lori.
    “How long are you here
for?”
    Her brows knitted
together. “Three days, why?”
    He smiled at her,
lowering his head to whisper in her ear, “I’ll stay the night and the morning.
All three days of them.”
    He heard her gasp, her
hands tightening on his arms. “This is going to be the longest hour of my
life!”
    Reno barked out a
laugh, spinning Loraine around on the dance floor. It was weird, but for the
first time in his life, he wasn’t rushing the girl out the door to the nearest
bed after she gives him the green light.
    He had three whole days
and this night to enjoy Lori, not just her body but also her company. He
planned to enjoy every minute of it before reality set in and they went back to
their lives, him to his philandering ways and she to her carousing rich girl
life.

 
 
 
    Chapter Three

 
 
    Loraine dropped her
bags at the door, feeling every minute of the long and uncomfortable seven hour
flight in her body. And of course the guilt of taking off and leaving Reno
sound asleep in her bed.
    She pressed the heel of
her palms against her closed eyes. Damn, she really thought she could do it
this time. She’d felt it—the lust, the desire. She’d even felt safe in his
arms… it was Reno, Riana’s big brother. He would never hurt her.
    And
I know that! Her thoughts screamed.
    But the moment all
their clothes were gone and his large body crawled over hers… her muscles
stiffened and her joints locked in place. Suddenly she couldn’t breathe. She
felt suffocated and held down, completely trapped by his huge body. The panic
rose, tears flooded her eyes and she began to cry. Reno launched off her so
fast he tripped but stayed on his feet after clumsily backing away from her.
    She sat up, pulled her
knees to her chest and hid her shame filled face in them as she cried. It had
taken seeing the shocked look on his face for her to come awake and realized
what she’d done. She hadn’t reacted like that in years, and her reaction was so
epically bad with Reno and not with Jake was a bigger mystery. It had been over
eight years, since that night. And after a year of therapy, she’d spent the
rest being her normal self. Her reaction to Reno was the latest sign that she
was losing her mind again.
    She felt even worse
after how Reno had reacted to her craziness. He’d slid his briefs back on
picked up the shirt she had quickly discarded from his body only minutes
before, and draped it over her naked shoulders. He’d approached her like a
skittish mare, speaking soothingly to her as he pushed her hands through the
sleeves and buttoned it down until her nakedness was completely covered. Then
he sat at the foot of the bed while she sat at the head and just looked at her.
    She thought she’d see
pity or disgust in his eyes, but there was only softness and the rest of his
face was expressionless.
    Then softly he’d asked,
“What do you need from me?”
    No insults, no
questions, no demands for explanations and no excuses to make a quick getaway,
just what she needed from him to feel safe again.
    It was such a simple
question, one
