Blurb:
Natalia has been in love
with her best friend Ashleigh for years, ever since they were housemates at
university. Unfortunately, circumstances, and then Natalia’s unwillingness to
jeopardise their friendship, mean that she has never confessed her feelings,
choosing instead to be grateful for the close relationship they do have.
However, on a weekend away together, a bottle or two of wine and an erotic book
place the girls in a highly charged sexual situation. Will Natalia make a move,
or is she too afraid to rock the boat and risk losing Ashleigh altogether?
Please note: This story
was previously published as part of the Lover Unexpected: Sappho Edition
anthology.

Excerpt:
Natalia smiled as she
caught sight of the familiar redhead sitting at a table in the hotel bar.
Thankful for the thick carpet masking her footsteps, she walked up behind her
friend, ensuring she wouldn’t be seen. Then she slipped her hands over her
eyes. “Guess who?”
An excitable squeak,
then, “Oh, I don’t know. Is it Scarlett Johansson?”
“Hmm, close, but not
quite. Guess again.”
“Oh, shut up you silly
cow, and come here.” With that, the redhead stood and turned, throwing her arms
around Natalia and pulling her into a tight hug. “Hey, gorgeous. I missed you!
How are you?”
“I missed you too,
Ashleigh. I’m good, thanks. How about you? You look great.”
Disentangling from their
embrace, Ashleigh looked down at her clingy black top and skinny jeans and
shrugged. “Thanks. I’m okay, I guess. All the better for seeing you. It’s been
forever. Come on, sit down. Let’s get a drink.”
They sat down, and a
waiter appeared. Natalia suspected he’d been waiting at a safe distance until
they’d finished their enthusiastic greeting.
He smiled. “What can I
get you ladies?”
Natalia looked at her
watch. “You know what, it’s Saturday and it’s after twelve. I’ll have a glass
of white wine, please. Something mid-range and not too dry.”
Ashleigh piped up. “Make
it a bottle. Thanks.”
The waiter nodded, gave a
little bow and walked away.
“So,” Natalia said,
settling back into the plush armchair, “how was your journey? I always find
getting into London a total nightmare, but it’s not so bad once you’re here.
The Tube may be sweaty and crowded, but at least it’s fast.”
Ashleigh nodded. “It was
all right, actually. The train into the city was on time and not very busy,
and, like you say, the Tube is quick and easy. It was pretty stress-free. You?”
“Much the same. I’m just
glad we’re finally here. I can’t believe it’s been a year since we’ve seen each
other. It’s so easy to forget that when we talk almost every day.”
“I know. I’m sorry. It’s
just life gets in the way, doesn’t it? Especially as we live so far apart. And
then there was all that stuff with Kayla…” Ashleigh lapsed into silence and
dropped her gaze to the table.
Natalia didn’t know how
to respond to that, so she just nodded sagely. Kayla had been Ashleigh’s
live-in girlfriend, until the discovery of some text messages and emails tipped
Ashleigh off that she was being cheated on. Despite all of Kayla’s pleas and declarations
of true and undying love, Ashleigh had no intention of being a doormat, so
she’d thrown Kayla out, and that was the end of it.
Of course, Natalia had
known that Kayla was going to be thrown out before Kayla did. As soon as
Ashleigh had found the incriminating missives, she’d gotten straight on the
phone to Natalia for advice. And as much as Natalia wanted to tell her friend
to get the hell rid of the cheating bitch, she also wanted her to be happy, so
instead she’d asked Ashleigh if she thought she was being too hasty.
“Fuck no,” Ashleigh had
replied, “as far as I’m concerned, she’s destroyed my trust. Once that happens
things are never the same, so it’s not worth it. And if I meant that much to
her, she wouldn’t have done it, would she?”
