CHAPTER 76- Lust Undiluted

  Ashley's POV;

  Gerald walks back into the room with a grand smile plastered on his face. I'm sure that in his heart, he believes that he's done something grand for me.

  Perhaps if the third party he brought to join us wasn't my cousin, maybe I'd be happy too. But now I'm miserable, and I can't let him know that. I can't have Austin telling him the truth. For the first time in my life, I'm actually in love with someone, and I can't let my selfish cousin ruin that for me.

  "So, you like him? "Gerald questions after shutting the door with its key, and I force a smile onto my face.

  I steal a glance at Austin who's gawking at me, and then back at Gerald.

  "Yes. He's okay. "I reply simply, and Gerald smiles.

  "So, how do we begin? "He questions Austin, and I turn to look at him.

  "We don't need a plan. We'd just go with the flow. "He replies, and I can't help but curse him in my heart.
