Hard to Resist (Sexy Nerd Boys, #3) Read online

  “Hey Ravi, what do a Rubik's cube and a cock have in common?”

  His jaw practically hits the floor and Chase scowls at my language. I continue, undeterred.

  “The more you play them the harder they get.”

  “Jesus Had,” Chase makes a face and shakes his head rapidly like he’s trying to clear the memory of the last ten seconds from his brain.

  Ravi

  I stumble into my room and collapse onto my bed. Every nerve in my body is aching from everything that is Hadley. When she got home from work she went to her room to change. She’d come out in a t-shirt that hugged her tits and was obviously not wearing a bra. Of course Chase caught me staring immediately, probably because I was practically drooling.

  “Dude, that’s my fucking sister,” He’d clipped out, throwing out a death glare for good measure. I’d put my hands up in an apologetic surrender and done my best not to stare for the rest of the night. But, I can’t say I didn’t sneak a few glances. And, then there’d been her dirty mouth tonight. The alcohol had only served as a catalyst for a slew of dirty jokes and sexually suggestive comments.

  When she’d gone for simulating oral sex on a banana, right in front of her brother I might add, I decided that it was time for me to go to bed.

  Now I’m laying here with my throbbing cock in my hand and images of Hadley in my mind. When my door creaks open quietly I pull my hand off my cock and sit up, expecting Chase. The tall, curvy silhouette of Hadley is unmistakable in my doorway. She steps in and closes the door with a soft click.

  “Hadley?” I whisper her name as a question. As in, ‘what the hell are you doing in my room?’

  She doesn’t say a word, instead she slinks onto the foot of my bed and crawls up so that she’s eye level with my cock. I bite back a moan at the mere sight of her, exactly where I need her. She sways slightly as she peels my blanket down to expose me. Fuck, she’s drunk. God damn, this so isn’t fair.

  “Sweetheart, you have to stop.”

  “Why?” Her voice is laced with innocence. Wrapping her hand around the base of my cock, she gives me a slow, firm stroke.

  “Oh, Jesus, you don’t play fair,” I accuse, my toes curling and fists clenching to keep me from grabbing her and burying myself inside of her. “Hadley, you’re drunk.”

  “You’d better stop talking or Chase’s going to catch us,” She warns as she swipes her thumb through the beads of pre-cum seeping from my tip and spreads it over my swollen head.

  Fuck, Chase is in the very next room. I open my mouth to protest again, but then her tongue rolls flatly along my tip. All protests are lost amongst the intense sensation. she strokes me slowly in her firm grasp as she continues to lick my head like an ice cream cone. My gaze is glued to her as a coiling of pleasure starts in my stomach.

  “Christ, you are so fucking good at that, Hadley.”

  She hums her thanks and I have to close my eyes at the rush of pleasure. Her hot lips wrap around me and she sucks my cock deep into her throat. She moans with pleasure, sliding one of her hands between her thighs and into her pants.

  Oh god, oh fucking god.

  Her mouth, so hot and wet, slides feverishly over my cock, while she thrusts her hips and fucks her own hand. I involuntarily thrust my hips up, as my cock slides deeper into her throat she cries out with pleasure and I’m fucking done for. My balls tighten and my cum coats the back of her throat in hard bursts.

  Before I can even get my breathing under control Hadley darts off of my bed and slips from my room without a word.

  I briefly consider going after her. But, what would I even say? Honestly, what the fuck was that?

  In my alcohol sodden state, it’s not long before I start to drift off to sleep. That’s when I have the strangest fucking dream.

  “Come here sugar, what’s wrong?” Matthews deep voice seems to come from outside, but I’m sure it’s part of the dream.

  “I’m so stupid. I couldn’t help it.” Hadley’s sweet voice is laced with self-deprecation and doubt.

  “What happened exactly?”

  “I drank too much tonight and I crept into Ravi’s bedroom and sucked his dick.”

  Even in my confused half asleep state I’m suddenly somewhat concerned that if this isn’t a dream, then Matthew might be pretty pissed to hear that his girlfriend sucked my dick. A deep, masculine chuckle is the response to Hadley’s confession. Yeah, this has to be a dream.

  “Oh honey...what did he say afterward?”

  “Nothing, I got the hell out of there before he could have the opportunity to form a coherent thought. He was really drunk, too. Maybe he’ll think the whole thing was a wet dream.”

  Matthew chuckles again.

  “Men don’t forget blowjobs. We especially don’t forget good blowjobs.”

  “I’m so screwed.”

  Chapter 8

  Ravi

  My head feels like someone took a sledgehammer to it. I can’t honestly remember how much I drank last night. But I do remember what was either a beautiful fucking dream or an extremely confusing, albeit satisfying, encounter with Hadley. The smell of something sweet baking tells me that she’s already been up for a while. I swear that woman is impervious to hangovers.

  “Morning,” She calls out as I shuffle into the kitchen.

  “I know you drank at least as much as I did. How is it even fair that you don’t feel like shit this morning?”

  “Just lucky I guess,” She answers dryly. “About last night...”

  “So that wasn’t a dream?”

  “No.”

  She bends over to pull whatever she’s baking out of the oven, giving me an all too enticing view of her long legs and heart shaped ass. My cock immediately springs to life. Images of the night before flit through my mind. Either my memory of her skill level didn’t do her justice or she’s somehow improved on perfection.

  “I just want to say I’m sorry I took advantage of your drunken state. I was jealous and I behaved inappropriately.”

  My jaw clenches with the effort of not saying what I really want to say, which is ‘fuck appropriate’. At which point I would lay her out on the kitchen table and bury my face in her pussy until her voice is hoarse from screaming my name. My cock swells, greatly in favor of this idea. It’s definitely what alternate universe Ravi would do.

  “Mmm, did you make cranberry orange scones?” Chase’s voice is more effective than a cold shower.

  I guess the real question is whether I’ll be able to control myself around her when I don’t have Chase breathing down my neck.

  “Yup, I know they’re your favorite.” She loads a plate up with scones and pushes it between Chase and me.

  “You always ask why I drag you to the gym with me. I have to tell you, it’s because all of your cooking forces me to have to work out twice as much as I used to,” Matthew accuses entering the kitchen as well.

  My muscles tense in anticipation of what may be about to come. If I remember correctly, Hadley actually told him about our...interactions last night.

  “No one’s holding a gun to your head to make you eat them,” Hadley retorts.

  Matthew scoffs before grabbing three scones and kissing her on the cheek.

  “Does that mean I can’t talk you into being my workout buddy this morning?”

  “Not a chance.”

  “I’ll hit the gym with you if you want,” Chase offers.

  “You want to come Rav?”

  The thought of working out right now causes me to groan and bury my face in my arms on the table.

  “Alright,” Chase chuckles. “Thanks for breakfast, Had.”

  Chase claps me on the back before he and Matthew head out to the gym.

  “Come on you big hung over baby.” Hadley jostles my shoulder and I groan again.

  Her breath tickles my ear and I tense in anticipation of her next move.

  “Why don’t you go lie down and let me take care of you.” Her words go straight to my dick. Images of her o
n her knees, working my cock expertly has me aching with need.

  I lift my head to see a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Without protest I get up and head to my bedroom to lay down. A few minutes later Hadley appears with a glass of water, two aspirin, and some DVD’s in her hands. She grabs my laptop and puts in one of the DVD’s.

  “The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is still your preferred hangover movie right?”

  I smile. I can’t believe she remembered. She sets the laptop on the bed and lays down next to me. I can’t resist wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her into the spooning position against me. She sighs with contentment and my heart aches with how right it feels to simply lay here with her. The urge to punch Chase right in his over protective face washes over me again. I pepper a few light kisses over her soft neck.

  “Hey, if you’re not going to pay attention to the movie I’ll put on Magic Mike,” She threatens.

  “Good god, no,” I groan.

  Hadley giggles and wiggles against me. My cock hardens against her perky little ass and I groan.

  “If you want me to focus you’d better lay still.”

  “Fine...for now.”

  Hadley

  We spend most of the day lounging in Ravi’s bed while he drifts in and out of sleep. We watch the first two Lord of the Rings movies and every time I try to disentangle myself from his arms to put some space between us, he tightens his grasp.

  Sometime in the late afternoon the sound of sitar music blares from his phone. He jerks awake and reaches for the phone on his nightstand.

  “Hey, mom,” He greets her sleepily.

  I try to slip away to give him time to talk to his mom. But, his arms hold me against his chest in a vice grip.

  “Yeah, she was nice.” He listens to his mother’s response. “Yes, I’m going to see her again.”

  I can’t hear her words but her voice is high and excited on the other end. My stomach drops, I think I’m going to be sick. I make another move to get up but he once again tightens his grip around my waist. I meet his gaze and see pleading in his eyes. I glare at him and wrench his arm off of me, darting from his bedroom before he can say anything.

  *****

  I fly down the stairs that lead from our door to Eve and Asher’s. I knock furiously and bounce on my toes as I wait for someone to answer. Thankfully Eve pulls the door open seconds later.

  “He likes her and he wants to see her again,” I blurt immediately, feeling the impending tears stinging my eyes.

  “Oh, sweetie.” Eve puts her arms around me. “I have to go to work. Walk with me?”

  She slips her shoes on and calls out to Asher that she’s leaving. He appears at the door and pulls her in for a quick but passionate kiss that makes my chest ache.

  “I love you Angel, text me when your shift’s over and I’ll come walk you home.”

  “I love you, too.”

  “Uh, come on. Can’t you guys stop being disgustingly in love for like five seconds?” I complain.

  “Sorry, no,” Eve says with an apologetic smile. “So do you want to talk about the Ravi situation?”

  I sigh loudly bite the inside of my cheek.

  “I know I can’t have him for real. I always knew eventually he’d find someone he’d be interested in dating seriously. But, I’m not sure I can handle this. I don’t know if I can stand to see him fall in love with someone when I’ll always be in love with him.”

  “Oh, sweetie.” She stops on the sidewalk and pulls me into another hug. “Maybe this will all work out somehow.”

  I let out a humorless laugh.

  “Not everyone is as lucky as you are hun. You really won the lottery with Asher.”

  “I know,” She sighs wistfully.

  “Come on, let’s get you to work. We don’t want to get you in trouble with the bosses,” I joke. Abby and Ethan are the most laid back bosses on the planet.

  “Are you going to hang around the bar for a while?”

  “Yeah, I can’t go home and face Ravi right now.”

  When we get to the bar Eve disappears to get into costume and I slide onto a stool at the bar top.

  “Hey Hadley, you look like you’ve had a rough day,” Ethan comments as he stocks the liquor before the bar starts to get busy.

  I sigh and bury my face in my arms. The sound of a bottle being set down makes me look up and I see a beer in front of me. Ethan just winks at me and goes back to his work.

  “Hey Hadley. What are you doing here? I thought I was working with Eve tonight.” Aubrey, another one of the waitresses greets me as she arrives for her shift.

  “I’m not working. I’m just avoiding going home right now.”

  Aubrey gives me a sympathetic smile.

  “Hey, Aubrey.” Ethan motions her closer to the bar and she approaches cautiously. “I just wanted to make sure there aren’t any problems after what happened the other night?”

  Aubrey’s cheeks burn bright red and her aqua eyes fill with regret.

  “Yeah, I’m really sorry about Max,” She mumbles.

  “Not your fault. And, I know you’ll understand when I say I don’t want him in here again if he’s going to behave that way.” Ethan’s tone is filled with warning. I’ve never seen him look so...avenging before. Abby’s a lucky bitch, just like Eve. When do I get my own sexy, nerdy boyfriend?

  I do my best to keep my eyes on my beer so it doesn’t look like I’m eavesdropping.

  Aubrey nods once more and then scurries away to get changed for her shift.

  “I don’t know what she’s doing with that total douchnozzle,” Ethan mutters, mostly to himself.

  I don’t know Aubrey or her boyfriend well. But, she’s unbelievably beautiful with long, auburn hair and piercing aqua eyes. Her boyfriend, Max, has a bad habit of hitting on anything with tits.

  “I take it he hit on Abby?” I ask. There’s only one thing that can get Ethan’s hackles up like this. Ethan snorts and shakes his head.

  “The guy’s a pervert and a moron. He invited Abby to have a threesome with Aubrey and him. She politely declined and then he copped a feel of her ass. So... she broke his nose.”

  “What’s that make now...three guys with broken noses from getting grabby on her?” I ask with a laugh.

  “Four,” He corrects.

  I start to laugh and as soon as Ethan sees me laughing he starts to laugh too.

  “How exactly did you get her to date you? She didn’t break your nose too did she?”

  “No, it took an unbelievable amount of patients on my part. And, it was totally worth it,” He says, his voice dripping with honesty and raw emotion. Looking up he catches sight of Abby coming out of the kitchen. The genuine love in his eyes makes my heart ache.

  Maybe I need to let Ravi go so I can find someone who’s willing to face anything, including my brother, in order to date me.

  “Bad news, our cook just quit,” Abby announces with irritation.

  My ears perk up at her words.

  “You know, I cook. I’m in school for culinary arts,” I pipe in.

  Abby looks at me with happy surprise.

  “Really?”’

  “Yeah. And, you know I actually have some really great ideas for some unique, delicious burgers and appetizers. I mean...if you were interested.”

  “Can you start tonight?”

  Well, at least one good thing came out of this day.

  Ravi

  I lay in bed clutching my pillow like a teddy bear, inhaling deeply I fill myself with the sweet strawberry scent Hadley left behind. I’m cursing myself thoroughly right now. In spite of the hangover this was honestly the best day of my life. That is until my mother called and Hadley heard me tell her that my date with Kashi went well and I planned to see her again. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain. But, maybe this is for the best. I can’t have Hadley; she was never for me. Maybe if she thinks I have a girlfriend I will be able to gather the willpower to resist her.<
br />
  My phone buzzes on the nightstand and my heart leaps, a stupid part of me hoping it’s Hadley.

  Kashi: Hey boyfriend ;), my mom just called me to say she just got off the phone with your mom and they’re basically planning our wedding. *Gag*

  Ravi: Yeah, my mom was crazy happy when I told her we hit it off

  Crazy happy is an understatement. In fact, the hurt look on Hadley’s face was almost worth it because I swear I could practically hear my mother getting healthier when I told her I was going to see Kashi again.

  Kashi: I’m really bored. You wouldn’t want to hang out would you?

  Ravi: I’m pretty hungover, not up for much. But if you want to just come over to my place and hang you can

  My stomach roils a little bit at the thought of Hadley coming home to find Kashi here. But, I really do think this will put some much needed space between us. As much as that thought makes my chest ache.

  *****

  “Hey fake boyfriend.” Kashi greets me with a hug. I see the little orange kitten on the bottom step, which reminds me to put out some food for the little guy.

  “You feed a stray cat?” She asks in surprise. I shrug and guide her towards the living room.

  “So...is your roommate home?” Kashi asks in a taunting voice.

  I sigh and try to ignore the empty pit in my stomach that been there since Hadley stormed out an hour ago.

  “No, she’s probably somewhere plotting my death.” I force a laugh.

  “Your parents don’t want you to date her?”

  “They would prefer I date Indian women. But, the real reason she’s off limits is because her brother is my best friend. It’s complicated.” I try to wave it off like it’s no big deal. “Want to watch something?”

  “Sure, you can put on whatever. I hope you don’t mind me barging in, I just hate being home alone.”

  “It’s cool, if we’re going to sell this to our parents for a while then we should hang out.”

  *****

  Several episodes of Breaking Bad later the front door opens. I tense, expecting Hadley to come in and rip me a new one for having Kashi here. Or, worse, look fucking devastated at seeing me with another girl.
