He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs.

But it was too late.

Kiara and Ethan had been best friends since they were children. They'd shared everything in their eighteen years together except romance.

But that all changed at the beginning of their senior year.

Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with.

That kiss should have never happened. 

It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it.

Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. 

Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything.

PREVIEW:
“If you don’t want to kiss me then . . . let’s swim.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Naked.”

“What?”

“I always wanted to try skinny dipping.” I pursed my lips and said, “And I really want to get out of these clothes.”

He said, “What if someone catches you . . . me, both?”

“Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken . . .”

“Fine.”

His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

I raised my eyebrow at the sudden change in his demeanour.

Ethan said, “You have an extra piece of clothing than me.”

I grinned. “Who said I was wearing any underwear?”

The Unfolding Duet

 Can you feel me? BORED! There’s absolutely nothing to do here. The heat is too much. I can’t even wear a bikini to get tanned. There’s no swimming pool around and the lake has turned into a desert. I eat ice cream all day, watch Hindi movies (okay I am not complaining, I can watch Hrithik Roshan all day and night) and I’ve already finished the books I had brought with me. I even watched my mom paint and then watched that paint dry. 


 I am tired of writing and need you here to cuddle with me and talk to me about your day. Did Evey barf on you? Pee in your arms? I want to know about that too. Just don’t tell me you kissed Ariana with a tongue like last time. I don’t know why I feel weird around you when you’re with her. Heck, I am your best friend. I should be comfortable with your girlfriend and talk to her, but I can’t. I will just watch that paint dry. 


 At least we have Paneer Tikka Masala for dinner.
