"Can friends be lovers?"

Josie and Jack have been friends forever. Not just friends, best friends. After another failed romance, Jack decides to cheer Josie up by playing the game. This is a game that the two of them came up with as soon as they were old enough to go to bars. They go to the clubs and see how many points they can earn by predicting what the opposite sex will do in their flirtation. But tonight, Josie really doesn't want to play the game. She's just not into it. She ends up drinking more than her limit of two beers.

Jack finally convinces her to hit the dance floor with him. During the dancing, Josie realizes why she's not into the game tonight. She is really attracted to Jack and wants him. She's just afraid of what this could mean to their friendship.

This is a hot, steamy short story, sizzling from the very beginning to the very end. The attraction between these two is so intense that you can almost feel the heat. This is definitely not the story to be read when you are home alone for the weekend. You will definitely want a partner close by.

Summary

It began as a lighthearted competition between two friends. Ten points for correctly predicting which lame come-on the next person will use to hit on you. Fifteen points for getting asked for your phone number. Twenty for being bought a drink. Get someone to ask you to go home with them, and you've won The Game. Now Josie's tired of watching beautiful women throw themselves at the one man who's always been there for her, and even winning has become losing if it means the man who takes her home from the bar isn't Jack. She knows how to get other men to fall at her feet, but will the same moves work on her best friend? In love and lust, it's all about Playing The Game...
