What’s wrong?” I asked as she wiped her tears and shook
her head. Her face was no longer wet, save for the dip over the top of her
lips. I’d never noticed how full they were before then. I’d never noticed how
rosy and defined her cheekbones were, or the way her eyebrows turned into a
slight frown when she looked at me. I’d never paid attention to how
ridiculously alluring her eyes were. The different shades made them look like
the marbles I used to collect when I was a kid. My gaze drifted down to her neck,
where I noticed her swallow, and then over her tits, which were now full, not
like the last time I’d seen her in a bathing suit when she was still flat
chested. Jesus Christ, this girl was hot.
The clearing of her throat made my eyes snap back to hers,
putting an end to their voyeuristic journey down her now grown up body.
“You’re so grown up,” I said before I could stop myself
and cringed at the voice I said it in, all needy and husky and fuck my life,
desperate. I expected her to roll her eyes, the way she normally did when I
said anything to her, but this girl, this freaking girl looked at me and smiled
the sexiest smile I’d ever seen. And I had just been at a party full of hot
girls smiling, but Elle’s was slow and sensual when she wasn’t trying to make
it be. It was just her smile, the one I’d been seeing for as long as I could
remember. Putting that smile on this grown up version of her should be down
right illegal.
“Are you hitting on me?” she asked, with a sultriness in
her voice that surprised the hell out of me.
“That depends,” I said, inching to sit closer to her,
somehow completely forgetting that I was in my best friend’s house and this was
his little sister. The thought of Vic finding us crossed my mind, but I pushed
it down. In that moment, under a sky full of stars with a sad Estelle, all I
could think about was making her smile.
“What does it depend on?” she whispered.
“Whether or not it’s working,” I whispered back, lifting
my hand and running it down her back, a motion I shouldn’t have done because
now I knew Elle wasn’t wearing a bra under the oversized sweater she had on and
that knowledge woke up everything in my lower region.

Blurb
He was my older brother's best friend.
He was never supposed to be mine.
I thought we would get it out of our system and move on.
One of us did.
One of us left.
Now he’s back, looking at me like he wants to devour me.
And all those feelings I’d turned into anger are brewing into something else,
something that terrifies me.
He broke my heart last time.
This time he'll obliterate it.
This is a standalone.
