Kassidy’s POV

Ever since Nova returned to the house, she became extra clingy with Eli. It was like she was trying to plaster herself to his side to erase whatever had happened, and she was always one step behind him, even in school. If he walked into the kitchen, she was right there touching his shoulder. If he was walking across campus, she was anchoring herself to his arm. I watched it all from a distance, keeping my mouth shut, but the hypocrisy of it made my stomach turn every single day.

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    45 - Extra Clingy

    Kassidy’s POV Ever since Nova returned to the house, she became extra clingy with Eli. It was like she was trying to plaster herself to his side to erase whatever had happened, and she was always one step behind him, even in school. If he walked into the kitchen, she was right there touching his shoulder. If he was walking across campus, she was anchoring herself to his arm. I watched it all from a distance, keeping my mouth shut, but the hypocrisy of it made my stomach turn every single day.Eli tried talking to me a few days later, but I ignored him entirely. I didn't want to be included in their drama anymore, because holding Nova's secret while remembering the heat of Eli's mouth on that beach was already tearing me apart.We were in the living room on a Thursday evening, trying to catch up on a show together with the rest of the housemates. Marcus and Devon were arguing about the remote, but when they went to the kitchen to grab snacks, Eli seized that moment. He leaned across t

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    44 - All Night

    Eli's POVFor the rest of that day, I was completely restless. My mind was an absolute mess, spinning in circles as I paced around the house, unable to find a single second of peace. I couldn't stop thinking about my suspension from the team. Even worse was the constant replay of Kassidy’s reaction to the kiss. The way she had shut it down so fast in the driveway, calling it casual and bolting from the car, left a bitter taste in my mouth that I couldn't scrub away.By the time night fell, the walls of the house felt like they were closing in on me. I just needed to escape the noise. I grabbed my keys, slipped out the front door and decided to go to a bar nearby to get some drinks, alone.The tavern down the street was crowded enough that nobody was paying attention to me. That was exactly what I wanted. I sat on a stool at the far end of the counter, ordering a whiskey and staring down at the amber liquid as I swirled the ice around. I was halfway through my second glass when a heavy

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    43 - Drowning in the dark

    Kassidy’s POVThe mystery man walked out before I could even understand what had just happened. He walked through the heavy bathroom door without looking back, his footsteps fading rapidly down the carpeted hallway. My brain felt entirely scrambled, frozen in place as I stared in shock at Nova. She was way too calm for what I just witnessed. There was no panic on her face, no frantic reaching for excuses, and no sign of guilt whatsoever. Instead, she pushed past me to go to the mirrors, her shoulder brushing mine as if I were nothing more than a minor inconvenience in her way.I watched her through the glass as she unzipped her small purse. She pulled out a tube of lip gloss, twisted it open, and meticulously fixed her lipstick. She didn't skip a beat, smoothing the color over her lips and patting down her hair, fixing her makeup until every single strand was back in its proper place. Once she was completely satisfied with her reflection, she turned to face me directly."What you saw

    Kassidy's POVThe trip back home was silent. Neither of us said a word, but I could tell that Eli was excited about our kiss. I kept my face turned toward the passenger window, staring at the passing trees, but I wasn't actually looking at them. I was reliving the kiss. My mind kept looping back to the heat of his mouth and how his fingers had gripped my waist, and the short make out session that happened right after that in the front seat.I couldn’t deny how good it felt, because it had sent a rush through me that I was still tingling from. But at the same time, I felt horrible. The initial excitement quickly soured into a deep, heavy guilt in my stomach. Eli was in a full relationship with Nova, and they lived under the very same roof as me. I had crossed a massive line, kissing him like that when he belonged to someone else. What the fuck was I thinking?!Fear started mixing with the guilt too, because I was scared of Nova and what she would do to me. If she ever found out what we

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    41 - His Firecracker

    Eli's POVKassidy was reluctant to get out of the car at first, but once her feet hit the sand, I could see her fighting her smile. She looked out at the ocean and I watched her shoulders relax, watched the tension drain out of her face. It was like she was seeing something she had forgotten existed before now.We started walking along the shoreline without any real destination. The area around Lake Michigan was quiet and mostly empty, just the sound of waves and the occasional seagull screaming about something. I kept my hands in my pockets and tried not to look at her too much, but it was hard.Despite the hair band that held it in place, her long dark hair was blowing around her face in the wind, strands getting tangled and stuck to her lips. The flowery blue dress she was wearing flapped against her legs, and the sun was hitting her skin, tanning her slowly, making her glow in a way that was making my heart flutter in my chest. She looked so beautiful it was painful to look at her

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    40 - Shell of Emotions

    Kassidy's POVI woke up gasping again, from another nightmare. The nightmare was already fading, but the feeling remained, that sick sense of panic laying low in my stomach. Sweating and panting, I lay spread eagled on my bed, staring at the ceiling and waiting for my heart to stop trying to kill me.I knew I would have stayed there for several minutes, if not for my phone's vibration from the night stand. I heaved myself up and reached for the phone to see a text from Piper.PIPER: hey, Kas. I'm really worried about you, please call me. Please.Then another one, sent maybe ten minutes later.PIPER: Look, I know you're avoiding me but I'm worried about you. Just let me know you're alive and well, okay?And then a third one, more recent.PIPER: Hey Did you know Eli got suspended from the team? Dad is losing his mind over it. Do you know why?It was that last message that forced me to sit up. Suspended from the team? Why? That didn't make any sense. Eli lived for hockey; he was the capt
