The Dreaded Friend Zone

By on September 17, 2014

In Sinful Rewards, Bee’s relationship with Nicolas, our enigmatic billionaire, starts as a friendship. They genuinely like each other, teasing each other about their foibles and their hang ups.

Nicolas admitted in Sinful Rewards 2 that this friend first progression of a romantic relationship is new to him. We’re not sure why he wishes to take his relationship with Bee slowly, why he wants to form this friend base first, but she must be special to him or he wouldn’t have changed his behavior.

In Sinful Rewards 3, Bee is ready to move out of the dreaded friend zone. She’s attracted to Nicolas. She doesn’t know if Nicolas is attracted to her.

Here’s a snippet…

When Nicolas holds me, I feel safe, cherished, protected. I relax, resting my head in the hollow of his shoulder. I haven’t felt safe in a long, long time.

“Friends don’t let friends take the bus,” I quip. Does my enigmatic billionaire still view me as a friend?

“Your friend Cyndi Wynters allows you to take the bus.” Nicolas doesn’t mention the limo chits.

If he’s determined to play this game, I’ll match him move for move, making the rules up as I go along. “Cyndi has offered to give me rides. She tries to pay for new purses and shoes and cover my part of restaurant bills.” I lift my chin. “But I have my pride.”

“That’s what he told me.” Nicolas rubs his fingertips into my body, the friction warming my skin. I’m hungry for touch, desperate for it, and I respond, the humming becoming a pulsing need.

“Your investigator told you I had pride?” I ask.

Nicolas nods, his gaze fixed on my face as though I’m the most interesting, enthralling creature he’s ever seen.

Progressing from friendship to lovers can be a perilous transition. If it’s not accomplished correctly and their romantic relationship falls apart, Nicolas and Bee will likely lose their friendship also. They’re now risking something by making this leap.

Do you enjoy reading friends to lovers romances? What do you love about them?
