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 15 — OF HONEY AND NAKED MEN
ANAHERA Thanks to Dominik’s obsessive craze for control, I used the locator app hidden on my phone to track Noel’s number to whatever ditch he and his car were. The locator stopped moving, blinking at a place called ‘Honey and Rye’, and raising my head, it was only a few steps ahead. I think
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 14 — OF DISAPPOINTMENTS AND DRUNK BOYS
ANAHERAThe call never came back after I took the phone so I chalked it up to Rautio being an immature prick. If he has anything important to discuss with me, he can say it at work tomorrow. For tonight, I’d rather be where I’m needed. A few hours wouldn’t hurt anyone.When I walked back into the
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 12 — OF DEVILS AND ONE NIGHT STANDS
BELLA “ANAHERA JUNE KALLIO!” were the first words I yelled as soon as the cranky engine of Anahera’s abomination died in her driveway. There would be other times to rain on her about her vehicle. For now…“Hello, my gorgeous best friend. How may I help you?” she replied, despite how flaky her grin
12 Days of Christmas with My Brother’s Rival 10 — OF CLOSE CALLS AND ESCAPES
NOELAnahera pressed harder to brush her wrist against the length of me through the fabric and raw electricity shot through my veins.My hips raised in response. From my peripheral vision, I could see the wet spot at the top of my tented shorts which darkened the black. She did too. She stared at
