The Girl Who Cried Wolf Read Online Free Page B

when he thought of her waiting for him back at his apartment. He couldn’t believe it when Dylan had come up with the idea. He’d had no choice but to agree. If he refused, Dylan would have wanted to know why, and then what would he have said? That he thought Kat was making the whole thing up?
    Shit .
    He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He’d been so fucking stupid to get involved with her. She was his best friend’s sister for crying out loud. For a while, he thought he and Kat could be friends, just like Dylan thought they were. They had been friends, really good friends. Right up to the point where he realized that with the sprinkling of freckles across her nose, great smile and beautiful, blue eyes, she wasn’t just cute anymore—she was gorgeous. And had a smoking hot body to match.
    He’d figured out he was in serious trouble when he started daydreaming about her. Not about hanging out at the movies, either. Instead, he had high-def fantasies about taking his partner’s sister to bed.
    He’d fought against it, God knew. Maybe he would have succeeded in keeping things platonic if Kat didn’t let him know she felt the same way about him. Before he knew it, they were dating, then sleeping together. And he was in completely over his head. He’d fallen fast and hard, and there’d been no turning back.
    Then Dylan had stopped by his apartment one weekend when Kat was there. Thankfully, it had been early so Kat had still been asleep. It was only by pure chance his partner hadn’t seen her. The realization that he might have had been enough to finally shock some sense into Reese, though. He’d decided right then and there that their relationship couldn’t continue, and that he was going to have to put an end to it.
    Reese hadn’t broken things off with her because he was afraid Dylan was going to kick his ass—something which he deserved. He’d done it because he and Dylan were friends. And friends didn’t sleep with their friend’s sister. Especially when that friend made it clear he didn’t want his little sister dating a cop.
    It wasn’t that Dylan thought cops weren’t good enough. But being a cop was dangerous, and he didn’t want Kat getting her heart broken if something happened to her boyfriend in the line of duty. Reese understood and respected that. His own father was a retired cop. He remembered the endless nights his mom had stayed awake worrying about his dad. She’d been lucky. Not every cop’s wife was.
    The only problem was that Kat hung out with a lot of Dylan’s friends, which meant that the chances of her dating a cop had been pretty good. Dylan worked overtime keeping them at bay, and he expected Reese to help him. If he knew Reese had been sleeping with her, he’d consider it a betrayal of the worst kind.
    Still, Reese would have been willing to risk Dylan’s wrath if he was the only one who’d get hurt. But he had Kat to think of. Dylan would never lift a hand to her, but he’d be furious with her, and Reese didn’t want to do anything to ruin her relationship with her brother.
    So, Reese had told Kat it was over. Breaking up with her had been one of the hardest and most painful things he’d ever done, and knowing how much he’d hurt her was almost more than he could take. But it had been the right thing to do.
    He swore under his breath. Having her stay with him for a couple of days was going to be complete and utter torture. Especially since Kat was undoubtedly going to do everything in her power to get him to take her to bed again. He didn’t even want to think about how easily he’d given in last night. If she was running around in something skimpy when he got home, he didn’t know how he was going to be able to resist her.
    He supposed he could always spank her again. He bit back a groan. He didn’t know which one of them had been more surprised when he’d dragged her over his knee last night. He’d never spanked a woman in his life, but she was being
