Bro Code Rule #1 – You can’t have your best friend's younger sister.

Austin

What is it that guys I date don’t seem to understand what a causal relationship is?

That doesn’t mean to propose to me. This is why I packed up everything into my car, and I’m now heading to my brother’s home.

Only he’s not there, but his best friend, Dallas, is.

Damnit, he’s the reason none of my relationships have worked out. I compare them all to how he treats me.

When they go on tour and drag me along, it’s hard to hide feelings in the small space of a tour bus. But my brother has made one thing very clear.

Dallas is no good for me, and we both risk losing my brother, if we go any further.

Dallas

It sucks when you can’t have the one girl you love.

When the band I started, with Austin’s brother, took off, girls were easy. It was less messy having flings, but it earned me a playboy reputation.

Then, she moves into the house with us.

Even when her brother has made it perfectly clear she’s off limits, I can’t seem to stay away.

She’s still the only one who makes my heart race.

Can I convince them both I’ve changed, and I will be a one-woman man for the rest of my days, if she just chooses me?

Chapter 1

Austin

Why is it that the only guys I seem to attract are the weird ones? Seriously, how hard is it for guys to understand what a causal relationship means? Isn't that every guy’s dream to find a girl who wants just casual? It must not be, because my now ex, Branden, proposed to me two nights after three months of what was supposed to be casual dating.

So, that’s why everything I own is now loaded up in my car. Driving down the coast from Portland, Maine was fun, but now, I’m driving into Nashville from the north, and I get my favorite views of downtown, along the Cumberland River. The sun has just started to set and is throwing some amazing oranges and purples behind the downtown skyline. I roll my windows down and just soak it in.

I'm back in the south.

Once I pass downtown, I continue on to the Belle Meade neighborhood at the south end of Nashville. This is where all the top music guys in the city live, who don't want to buy a massive estate outside the city limits. This is also where my brother and his band mate and best friend, Dallas, live.

I try to think back over the last three months. Did I give Branden any signs that we were more than casual? I don't think so. We would go days without talking, and we saw each other once a week, if work allowed. The sex was pretty good, but I never stayed the night at his place, or even had a toothbrush there, so I'm not sure how he thought proposing was the next step.

I sigh. I hate that I left my roommate with such short notice, but she didn't seem to care, once I offered to pay my rent for the next month, before I left. Thank God, for my job as a graphic designer, because it means I can work anywhere.

I park my car and grab my overnight bag. I can bring the rest in tomorrow. The garage is large enough that we each have our spots. Plus, the guys have a few fun cars they don't take out much.

Walking in from the garage and listening, I hear the TV in one of the living rooms, but I’m not sure which one.

"Hello?" I yell out, as I set my bag on the kitchen counter.

A second later, I hear footsteps, and Dallas appears around the corner.

"Austin?" He asks, like he isn't sure it's me. His icy blue eyes still sparkle, and I know it's why he can get any girl he wants. Those eyes draw you in, and the sexy tan skin, abs, and ink keep you hooked.

"Yeah, is Landon here?"

"No, your brother is out of town. He's been working with a charity on our off time.”

"Oh," I say and deflate. I really wanted to talk to him in person. Otherwise, I could have stayed in Portland and called, if I had wanted.

"Hey, what's wrong? You know you can talk to me, right?" He looks concerned.

"Yeah. I um... Well, I'm moving back in for a bit anyway, if that's okay?" I say uncertain if he even wants me here. I know my brother would be over the moon, but Dallas I'm always unsure of.
