~ Synopsis ~
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.

~ Excerpt ~
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.
