The Hazards of Sleeping with a Friend (Hazards #5)

Author: Alyssa Rose Ivy

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 26, 2015

Description:

Warning: Sleeping with a friend might change your life forever.

Sleeping with Kyle was never in the plans. Pretending to be his girlfriend was one thing, but letting our relationship become anything but platonic was another. The problem with mixing friendship with sex is that inevitably feelings get involved, and when that happens there's no turning back.

When Kyle's life fell apart around him, I needed to help, but doing that meant opening myself up to the most terrifying thing in the world—falling in love.  

I didn’t rush to turn the light off. I wasn’t sure if either of us were ready to go back to darkness again. If she was feeling even remotely like me, then sleep was the last thing on her mind.

If a kiss could make me feel that way, the sex was going to be incredible. That thought ran through my head on repeat as I tried to keep my eyes anywhere but on her. Eventually my willpower gave out, and I turned to look at her lying under the sheets next to me with a soft smile on her lips. I wanted to taste those lips again so bad I could barely take it.

She read my mind. “You officially have permission to kiss me anytime.”

“That’s great permission to have.” I rolled over on to my side next to her. I wasn’t giving up any opening she was willing to give.

“Do I have it too?”

“On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.” I ran my hand down her bare arm.

“But today is Sunday.”

“I guess I can make an exception.” I grinned, loving how she’d moved us back to the teasing that came so naturally.

“Can you?” She sat up and looked down at me.

Something snapped. I needed her, and it wasn’t going to wait. I pulled her on top of me.

She giggled. “Wow, and I didn’t even say please.”

“I guess you didn’t.” I rolled her off me, and instead hovered above her.

She looked up at me through her unbelievably long eyelashes. “Would you please make an exception?”

“You have full permission to kiss me.”

She reached up and pulled my head down to hers. Her lips crashed into mine aggressively, and that only made me want her more. I didn’t wait for her to open up this time, I pushed my way into her mouth, determined to get every taste of her I could.

She slipped her hand underneath my t-shirt, and I needed more of her touch. I broke the kiss long enough to pull off my t-shirt.

“If we’re playing fair tonight, you can take mine off too.” Her words sent a thrill through me, but also an alarm. Taking off her shirt was entering new territory. Much more dangerous territory.

“You sure you want me to?” I ran my fingers over the strip of skin exposed by her tank top riding up.

“Yes. Positive.” She sat up and pulled off the tank top herself.

About THE HAZARDS OF SLEEPING WITH A FRIEND:  

Warning: Sleeping with a friend might change your life forever. 

Sleeping with Kyle was never in the plans. Pretending to be his girlfriend was one thing, but letting our relationship become anything but platonic was another. The problem with mixing friendship with sex is that inevitably feelings get involved, and when that happens there's no turning back. 

When Kyle's life fell apart around him, I needed to help, but doing that meant opening myself up to the most terrifying thing in the world—falling in love.   

He stopped right out front. “This is going to sound absolutely crazy, but I need you to agree anyway.” 

“Okay.” I watched him with interest. Kyle wasn’t the type to call any of his ideas crazy. He was more likely to proclaim them as wonderful. 

“If you’re ever going to seriously consider trying out the random sex thing, call me first.” 

My mouth fell open. “Uh, you didn’t just say that.” 

“I’m just saying I’d rather my best host not die or get badly hurt after she decides to hook up with a random guy.” 

“Oh yeah? Worried about your radio station?” 

“And a friend.” 

“Haven’t you heard about the hazards of sleeping with a friend?” My heart was beating a mile a minute. Had Kyle offered to have sex with me? He must have had more to drink than I thought. 

“They’re no worse than hooking up with a random psychopath. Or a drummer,” he mumbled. 

“Wait. What?” 

“Nothing.” He looked down. 

“Nuh uh, I heard you. You think I was talking about having sex with Len?” Kyle made no secret of his distaste of the guy. 

“He does flirt with you every chance he gets, even when he’s across the country.” 

“And that means I want to sleep with him?” Admittedly I’d had a mega crush on Len Denton, drummer of Chance of a Lifetime, but if my friendship with him had taught me anything, it was that I definitely didn’t want to sleep with him. I’d have chosen Kyle for that role ten times over. 

Kyle shrugged. “Just saying, I think I’d be a better choice.” 

“So what am I supposed to be agreeing to then? I’ll call you if I get horny next time instead of hooking up with someone random?” 

“It sounds so much worse when you say it that way.” 

“Because it is that bad.” I still didn’t know if he was actually serious. The offer was so unlike Kyle I doubted it could be. 

“Fine. I was just offering.” He shoved his hands in his pockets. 

“You were offering your sexual services. Got it.” I smiled. Joke or not, I had to give him a hard time about it. 

“That sounds even worse.” 

I put a hand on my hip. “Shall we say goodnight before it gets any worse?” 
“Forget I said anything.” 

“I will. After I tell all my friends.” I grinned. Teasing Kyle came so naturally.
