Love Untouched (Unexpected) Read Online Free Page B

everything she could. She was painted as slutty because she dressed like a model. She usually wore the skimpiest, tightest outfits but that was because she had a body for them and she liked to feel good.
    “Milo, she will always be my best friend. From the moment she grabbed Lisa Letter’s hair in first grade because she teased me about my freckles, Ava will be my front, back, and sidekick,” I reminded him. This was getting exhausting. I never understood why Milo was always annoyed and irritated with Ava. She was nice to him, sometimes .
    He stared at the TV, which was presently showing Food Network’s The Next Iron Chef . “You’re ditching me for her.” He pouted, actually pouted.
    I threw a throw pillow, and this time, it caught him right on his face.
    “I didn’t even know you were going to ask me to go to a movie with you and Leif.” Leif was his training partner and they had been friends since college. They had both attended University of Connecticut. Milo attended UConn after receiving a full ride scholarship. At first, he didn’t want to go because he didn’t want to leave me in Nevada. It was only after I was able to reassure him that I would be fine, that it would be dumb to turn down the scholarship, and that it was part of the steps to achieving his Olympic dreams that he relented. He did call every day, though. I had missed him a lot.
    On the upside, I was able to date a few guys in college. Most of them were good guys and we became friends in the end. There was always something missing with them – the spark in a kiss, the tingle from a hug, the longing to be with that person. None of those ever happened with any of them. Now I was refraining from dating until I felt at least something that would make me want to actually be with that guy for a period of time.
    “C’mere, Bee.” He patted the sofa cushion next to him, his eyes imploring me to sit.
    I pouted my lips then frowned, but sat down beside him. He wrapped his long arm around my shoulder and said, “I missed having you with me. Thanks for taking the traveling nurse position here.” I accepted the hospital’s offer mainly because of him. I did my internship at New York State University, and they had actually offered me a job. I could have chosen to be thousands of miles away from him but I knew he wanted me to be here. He trained in Arizona, and after spending years away from each other due to college, I wanted to be close to my brother.
    I smiled and leaned against his shoulder. “You know this means you get to treat me every night, right?”
    He laughed loudly, replied, “Nursey, you’re the one making the big bucks,” and then pulled on my hair.
    I slapped his hand away. He liked to tease me by pulling on my hair. “Big bucks? You’re the one with the sponsorships here and there. I make a hundredth of what you pull in with those underwear commercials and energy drinks.”
    He barked in laughter, “Shit, Bee. Those are not underwear commercials. Those are for the U.S. Swim Team!”
    I laughed. “I know. Speaking of the U.S. Swim Team, do you know anything about Kieran Stone?”
    He quickly removed his hand from my shoulder and I was forced to face him.
    His green eyes looked utterly murderous. “What about him?”
    I swallowed. Kieran’s dislike for my brother was obviously reciprocated. “Well, he’s your teammate, right?”
    “Not my teammate,” he ground out, voice hard, “just another member of the team. Why do you ask about him?”
    I swallowed again. “Remember my roommate in New York, Sedona?”
    He nodded. “The hot chick with the amazing eyes. Yeah, why?” Milo had seen her photo on my phone but never met her in person. Sedona was traveling back-and-forth to Minnesota or to Zander’s away games during the few times that my brother visited me in New York.
    “Well, Kieran is her best friend, and I met him in New York and in Hawaii for Sedona’s wedding.”
    “Of course Stone would fucking have her as a best
