Joeys house.

I meet up with Joey at his water front property and to say I was nervous, would be an understatement. He left the garage door opened and told me to park my car inside.

My stomach swirled around with an uneasy feeling. I had to practically brace myself as I knocked on his front door. I'm not sure what it was, but meeting up with him this time felt different. Maybe it was the absence of him being in my life— or the simple fact I replayed all the memories I had with him over and over again in my head as I made the hour trip to his place.

As I walk through his front door my cheeks blushed with anticipation for the night that was ahead of me. I didn't come here with the expectation of anything sexual, but seeing as though, I was very attracted to Joey and the fact I hadn't been sensually touched in a very long time made me believe something could happen if I wasn't on my best behavior.

"How was the drive?" He asks, in a low husky voice as he leads me into the kitchen and pours us both a glass of red wine.

"It wasn't bad." I smile and say "Thank you." As I take the long stemmed glass into my hand.

"See, you could easily make that commute, right?" He smirks as he presses his lips to the glass and takes a long sip.

I carefully, contemplate my response as I also take a drink of wine. "How long will you be in Florida for?"

"A few months, probably." He says.

"That's a long time."

"Yeah, but I'll probably be busy most of the time training, Nick likes to torture us during the off season." He laughs.

Hearing Nicks name set me back to reality for a moment. I reminded myself not to get confused with Joey again, it would only cause me more pain and suffering. I wanted to keep our relationship strictly, platonic.. even though, I knew that would be hard for the both of us, considering our losing track record.

I did not plan to get involved with either of them again, but the familiar comfort of being around Joey made me miss the feeling of having someone close to me that I cared deeply for.

I watch as he strips his shirt off over his head.

Did I admire the gorgeous sculpted body in front of me? Yes— yes I did. Was I going to climb on top of it? No, my intentions were to stay pure, even if currently at the moment my mind was not.

"Ready?" He asks.

"Yep." I smile and follow him out the back sliding door that open up to the water front.

As we board his boat he gently takes my hand and helps me steady myself on my legs. The air outside was still hot and sticky, but there was a nice soft, breeze that made the weather a bit more bearable.

My head was swimming with thoughts as I sat down on one of the seats and watched him as he starts up the outboard engine. The vibration and humming from the boat made me feel excited. It felt like it had been forever since I felt any type of exhilaration.

I think that's why I missed the brothers so much. There was never once, a dull moment when it came to the two men. No matter good or bad, there was always something to keep me occupied or entertained when around them.
