Lesley Lockhart is in her sophomore year in college. She has her studies going great, Her life going great, even her love life was perfect because she was single. 

But everything changes when she meets Christian Sinclair, her best friend's brother. She had had a crush on him when they were in high school but everything changed when they went to separate colleges. To make matters worse, they can't stand being around each other.

One thing always seems to tick off the other until one night changes everything. Mixed emotions, unnecessary anger, jealousy and pent up urges start to suffice. 

Can they keep their emotions checked? Can the way they treat each other and what they feel change just because of one night? 

And importantly, can they keep it from everyone or has their desire for one another become too overwhelming?

That One Night..

I'm presently at a diner getting coffee and going through today's work when Christian sits in front of me. 


"I'm sorry I'm late." He apologizes as he sits. "I'm just coming from class."


"It's fine." I give him a small smile. 


"So what's going on?" He asks me. "Got your message." 


I had sent him a message earlier today stating I wanted us to have a talk. 


After my date night with Billie, everything started to become clearer and I knew what I had to do inorder to keep this in check. 


He stares at me confused. "Ground rules?" 


"You can't start a game without rules can you?" I ask back. 


I nod. "We are playing a game aren't we?" 


He stares at me for a moment without saying anything. 


"So what are these ground rules you speak of?" He speaks up. 


"Since we have decided to enter this commitment, I think it's best to know what to do in order not to cross any lines." 


"First, no one is allowed to know about this."


"Not even Dan." I add and he chuckles. 


"Second, this is just an agreement. We don't mean anything to each other, we're just in for the sex only. And when the urges are satisfied, this comes to an end." I point at both of us.  


"Next, You don't have to act all lovey dovey to me. I don't expect it, don't need it. Just have sex and that's all. There's no need to act all cute and loving after."


"You're talking like this is some kind of cheap game." He points out. 


"Because it is." I answered. "Maybe it's because I'm sexually frustrated at the moment, that's why I'm with you but this has no meaning." 


He nods slowly. "Is that all?" His tone had changed a bit. 


"For now, yes. If I want to add anything else, I'd let you know."


"No dating outside this agreement." He states. 


I stare at him for a moment before I chuckle. "I should be saying that to you. Are you sure you can keep your pants to yourself?" 


"With you around, I have no doubt I can." 


"I have no problem with that rule, it's not like I had a boyfriend before entering this. You just don't sleep with any other girls till we end this."


"Why should I?" He asks. "When I have my fuck buddy with me." He adds, a little bit sharper than normal. 


Okay, I'm not going to lie, that hurt a little. Even though those were the words of affirmation I kept repeating to myself. 


"Have you had something to eat?" He asks and I shake my head. "What should I get for you?" 


"I'm having dinner with Billie at home." 


"Should I drop you off at home or is that against the rules?" He asks. 


"There's nothing wrong with dropping me off at home." I say and he stands.
