12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 34 — OF HOTEL ROOMS AND SIXTY-NINE
ANAHERA There was no measure to how much kisses Noel showered me with, and to be honest, I’d never been kissed with so much fervor by anyone. In my entire not-so-relevant dating history. He took each second of the precious time we didn’t have, exploring my mouth, tasting my lips and prolonging the ache between my thighs. And each kiss reminded me of what it would feel like to have his tongue swiping over my currently very wet folds. “Noel,” I gasped when he tilted my head back and peppered hot kisses down the column of my throat, nibbling as he went. I was a shaking mess by the time he came back up to take my mouth again. “You.” Kiss. “Anahera Kallio.” Kiss. “Are the bane of my existence.” I let a long moan slip out. “So are you, mister.”His expert fingers finally made their way to the front of my sweater before sliding under to catch my freezing nipples between the tips. My back arched into him, and our kisses turned wild with passion. With those forest eyes gleaming at me
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 33 — OF HEAT AND FLEETING IMPULSES
ANAHERAThe last time I felt like this was ages ago. The last time I felt…carefree, happy, buzzing with energy. All of a sudden, I was twelve again and on the ice rink, defying my brother by sneaking out to play with the other kids on the frozen pond a few distance away. Except this time, it was with Noel and we were playing hockey. Hard.I sent the puck sliding into the goal again. “That’s…that is foul play. You had me distracted, Hera,” Noel panted, grabbing another puck. “I can’t believe you’re this good.” I shrugged with a smile so wide my face started to hurt.“Just take your L and move on, Noel. Admit that I’m a better player than you are.” Actually, it was the second time I scored. Noel was several points ahead of me but was doing a terrific job at being humble about it.The motive alone had my heart racing for a reason which had nothing to do with the game. A while later, I collapsed on a chair in the bleachers. “That was a good game, huh?” Noel asked as he made his way
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 32 — OF ICE RINKS AND PAST ECHOES
ANAHERA Time stood still. I could feel beads of sweat rolling between my breasts and down my back, waiting for my brother’s response. He merely looked at me, eyes narrowed in thought, before he turned and walked out. Without a single word. For the first time ever, I stood up to him, and contrary to what Bella and Eleanor told me, it felt horrible. Like taking a knife and shoving it into my brother’s back. I humiliated him in public. Someone whistled loud and long. “Well, that was intense, don’t you think?” It was Eleanor. “This does not mean I forgive you for ruining my life. Enjoy your solo staycation.” She walked off, her brother following behind. It was me and Noel left in the hallway. Before he opened his mouth to say a word, I shook my head to stop him. “I don’t want to hear anything. Just shut it.” The distance to my hotel room was just in the other hallway, but the weight of guilt crushing me could not let me see it. Fuck, what was I thinking? I br
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 31 – OF DEEPER SECRETS AND BREAKING RULES
NOELI was already at the door to my room before my phone pinged with a notification from one of my teammates in the group chat. ‘Another Stanford Family Scandal?’ Who Stanford? Perhaps more celebrity gists that I hated to involve myself with.I let myself in and clicked on the video just in time to see two girls verbal sparring. It was none of my business at first until Anahera’s face came into view. The camera panned to the girl she was arguing with…Eleanor.Stanford. Jax. “Isn’t this Jax’s little sister?” Just as I said that aloud, a loud slap rang out. Jax had just hit his sister. In public. In front of a crowd.Shaking my head, I let myself out again, hurrying into the elevator that’d take me down to the party. “Stupid fucking asshole,” I muttered, pacing restlessly in the elevator ride that was taking an eternity.If Coach caught wind of this, Jax could be possibly benched for the entire season or worse. Arrested. In no time, I was pushing forward through the tight crowd
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 30 — OF REVEALS AND ANGRY CONFESSIONS
ANAHERABack at the party, it was even worse off than when I left it. Everyone here was either drunk or high, or biting someone’s mouth off in a corner of the place. I dragged in a shaky inhale. “Avoid Dominik, get Eleanor, return her phone, walk back to my room.” In that order. That was easy. If only I could find a certain blonde head, it’d be over soon.“I thought you were back in your room,” someone spoke up from behind me. I whirled around to look into Jax’s face. “You’re back here to enjoy the party?”“N-no. I came here to look for Eleanor. Have you seen her?”The way he kept looking into my face unnerved me. I could read a million things he wanted to say from that look. “You do look very familiar. Apart from being Dominik’s sister, I’m certain I have seen you somewhere else before. You know that too, don’t ya?”I shook my head rapidly. “I don’t think so.” I swallowed. “Excuse me.” He smirked but I didn’t wait to see what waited at the end of that expression. Pushing past t
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 29 — OF LOYALTY AND ELEVATORS
ANAHERA Dominik looked like he’d rather bash Jax’s head in. “Know her? My sister works too hard to be seen by the likes of you. Take your eyes somewhere else.”I let out a small breath of relief, even though I knew it was not over yet. Not with the way Jax’s insistent eyes remained on me. After a while, he turned his focus to Eleanor. “What are you doing here?” Dominik inquired again, pulling me to a corner. “I know I should have told you but I was swarmed up in work—”“That was not my question, butterfly,” he admonished gently in a tone he knew I could not ignore. “You know you’re not supposed to be at a place like this.”With a sigh, I confessed. “My client had to travel and gave me a few days off. Before then, Bella and I had planned a spa getaway here but she ditched me last minute. So I came with Eleanor.”For a second, he said nothing. Just gauging my expression for any crack in the armor. My mind chose the last minute to conjure up the image of me losing my mind over Noel’
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 19 — OF TALL HANDSOME STRANGERS
ANAHERA The bass thumping all the way from inside the building to where we were parked made me nervous. Wiping sweaty palms against the very short dress Bella persuaded me to put on, I grabbed my mini purse and stepped out with her. I looked at my best friend as we walked side by side, I thought

ANAHERAThree days later and I was on the verge of pulling out my hair from its roots. “If I have to deal with that jerk for one more day, I’m going to fly down a hill. The man has absolutely refused to make my life any easy since working with him,” I moaned. I expected a response from Bella but
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 17 — OF NOEL AND FRAUD
ANAHERA“What is going on here?” I asked, approaching the couple, looking between both of them while they fixed their eyes on anywhere else that was not my face. Not even a glance. A dull thud echoed in the room behind me, breaking the tension, and their gazes shot toward me. Dominik spoke first.
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 16 — OF HUSHED THREATS AND HEAVY BREATHING
ANAHERABella stumbled into our room, face white like she’d seen a ghost, her blonde hair swinging every which way. “There’s a naked man in the house, Ana! I swear on my soul. How did he get here?”It didn’t take long before it dawned on me what she was saying.I opened my mouth to tell her I was
