Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste 47 - History between us
Kassidy's POVIt wasn't until a few minutes into the drive that I couldn’t help but notice the tension between Marcus and Celeste. It was impossible to ignore in the confined space of the sedan. Marcus's eyes constantly flicked toward her, his posture stiff as he drove, but Celeste kept giving him the cold shoulder. She remained pressed against the passenger door, staring out the window as if the passing telephone poles were the most interesting things in the world."You should slow down through this intersection, Marcus," Celeste pointed out to Marcus without looking at him. "The cops love to hide behind that billboard. So, chill, okay?"Marcus glanced over at her, with an amused smile on his face. "I know how to drive through my own neighborhood, Cel. I’ve been doing it for three years.""Clearly not well enough, considering how hard you hit that pothole back there," she replied, her voice dropping into a flat, dismissive drone."I was trying to get us away from the library plaza q
Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste 47 - A sudden Warmth
Kassidy's POVI immediately scrambled to cover up the massive slip of the tongue before he could see the panic flooding my face. I needed a lie, and I needed it immediately."Oh, I’m sorry," I said quickly, waving my hand dismissively to brush it off. "I completely mixed up the days. I must have heard Devon with that pretty blonde he used to bring home sometimes. You know how loud they get, and his room is opposite mine. I just assumed it was you and Nova."Eli frowned as he looked at me with deep suspicion. "Devon hasn't brought that girl around in weeks, Kas. And like you said, his room is on the opposite side of the hallway. How could you mistake....""This is my stop!" I lied loudly, grabbing the strap of my heavy backpack and shoving it onto my shoulder."Wait, right here?" Eli looked out the bus window, his confusion deepening. "Your pre-law building is way further down the line.""I have to grab something before class," I replied, already sliding past his knees to get to the na
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
Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste 42 - Mystery Man
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
