One Night with her Roommate by Noelle Adams
(One Night novellas, #5)
Publication Date: January 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary,
Synopsis
Ever since her former roommates deserted her, Meg has had to share an apartment with a lazy, obnoxious ass. He won’t pick up after himself, and he refuses to get a good job. Plus, he doesn’t always wear enough clothes—which is really a problem, because he’s hot.
Maybe he’s occasionally funny. And every now and then he can be sweet. But mostly he’s just annoying. It doesn’t matter how much he’s starting to flirt with her—Meg is going to resist. She’s way too smart to fall for a guy who never takes anything seriously.
But then everything changes in only one night...

Excerpt
“I
want to stay here.”
“Okay.”
Meg tried very hard—and not very successfully—not to feel pleased by this
decision. “Well, at least go to bed. You don’t look…good.”
He
gave a huff of amusement. “Thanks a lot.”
“I
just mean you look tired.” She reached up and pressed her palm against his
rough jaw. “You look tired.”
“I
am tired.” He leaned his face into her hand.
“Do
you have a headache?” she asked, trying to make sense of the pained tension she
saw on his face.
“Yeah.”
“So
go to bed.” She felt deep and tender and protective, as if he were hers to take
care of.
“I
want you to come to bed with me.” His voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes
suddenly blazed with something that looked like need, like hunger, something far
deeper than lust.
It
thrilled her and terrified her both. She dropped her hand. “East, I can’t—“
He
reached up and took her face in both of his hands. “I want you tonight.”
God
help her, she wanted him too. So much. So deeply. So desperately. The emotions
ran through her so powerfully she swayed on her feet.
But
she’d been smart for too many years, and she couldn’t throw it all away now.
She took a step back with a hitch in her breath. “I can’t.”
East’s
shoulders slumped slightly. “Yeah,” he murmured, turning away and opening the
refrigerator to pull out a beer. “That’s probably right.”
He
popped the cap and then took his beer to sit on the couch. He kind of collapsed
there, sprawled out over all three cushions. He looked so weary—almost
wounded—that Meg simply couldn’t leave him alone.
She
might wish that he didn’t come onto her at inappropriate times—in inappropriate
ways—but she couldn’t seem to resent him.
Her
brain told her that she should, but in this her brain had to be ignored.
