Friendly Bonds

By Jo Lavollee

I will never be yours.

It doesn’t take too long for the secret of Isla and Adrian’s hot and heavy entanglement to burst. Now Adrian means to drag their friend Boris into their games.

When Boris’s rejections get more and more ambiguous, Isla finds herself lost between friendship and lust, twisted and vanilla, submission and rebellion.

Luckily, her good friend Adrian knows exactly where he wants her.

In his bed, in his hands, in his chains.

She's in for a shocking revelation.

Hi! I’m Jo. I write character-driven steamy romance. My stories tend to come in serials because I love complications. I find nothing’s spicier than characters taking a life of their own.So prepare for adventurous scenarios, very sophisticated friendships, dangerous games, power plays, leading ladies, sexy tricksters, and handsome princes in distress. I like dark alpha males as well as vulnerable cuties. And my female characters tend to come with a rebel streak or a temper. Sue me.You can read stories out of order if you’re just here for a one-night stand. Or you can climb in for the entire ride, thrills, emotions and all. That’s up to you.Firsts in series will generally be free. When a story arc is done, bundles will ensue, and they will read like novels, with a Happily Ever After, or at least a Happy For Now. Stay tuned!

Friendly Bonds

The following Friday evening found me and my friends hanging out together again. We liked to meet right after our workweek and just before the weekend craziness began. We’d found this nice bar outside, in a park off downtown. The weather had been mild all week, but this was the first time I could let myself enjoy it. Things had been hectic at work. I’d spent most lunch hours hunched over my computer, trying to get more work done so I could get out before dark, and never really succeeding.

By the looks of it, Boris and Adrian hadn’t fared much better. They both looked tired and uncharacteristically quiet. I hadn’t spoken to either of them all week, other than by text messaging.

But now Friday night had arrived at last, and things were going to be okay, I thought, in typical Isla glass-half-full fashion. And now at last, I found that spring was arriving and that there was a chance that maybe, soon, I could take my dresses out of my closet and feel the air on my skin again, I thought, as I sipped an ice-cold mojito with my two best friends in the world, waiting for the third one to join us.

The fact that I’d had sex with one of them less than a week ago could or could not become a complication to this simple moment of contentment. Last Saturday night, Adrian had found me at home after his date had ditched him, and he’d opened himself to me. He’d trusted me enough to show me his kinky side and his devouring appetite for domination. I’d let myself play with him and it had been intense. And then . . . during sex, he’d started talking about Boris and that’s when I’d come my brains out. And that, too, had been quite a surprise. And now here we were, the three of us, having a very civil drink together under the linden trees.

Not really talking, and not meeting each other’s eyes either.

I was starting to realize that maybe, it had been an error not to get more in touch with any of them this week. It might have cleared the air. I might have been able to form an idea of where we were at.

At least I thought I knew why Adrian and I felt shy. I hadn’t reassured him of my complete acceptance of him after our rather intense fucking session. Maybe I should have. He’d come to me in need of friendship and maybe I, too, had taken advantage of him. The lines had been blurred that weekend.

And it was all my fault, really, for propositioning my friends like I had. During drinks last Friday, I’d let my mouth run all by itself, apparently, and suggested an arrangement of the friends-with-benefits type. I’d argued that we were all single right now and that it was now or never.

In hindsight, maybe this hadn’t been my best idea ever. It had first been met with tepid reactions. Boris had actually rejected it twice, first at the bar and then, as I’d broached the subject to him for the second time later at my place.

And then, several unusual things had happened. Boris and I had napped together—nothing weird there. We’d slept in a heap a million times
