LOGINShe’s sunshine, glitter, and impulsive chaos. He’s suit-and-tie, headlines, and cold steel control. Together? Absolutely not... right? Jace Whitmore and Lily Thompson have *history*-the kind neither of them talks about, but both remember. She remembers him as the tall, egotistical jerk who kissed her stupid... then told her he wouldn’t touch her with a six-foot pole. RUDE. And infuriatingly unforgettable. He remembers her as the pint-sized menace who’s far too cute for his sanity. Her pout? Weaponized. That glitter obsession? Unbearable. Her... everything? Inexplicably addictive. And while she’s not his type (his type being supermodels with legs for days), his eyes, and maybe something else, never got that memo. He’s the reformed playboy now forced to run his family’s billion-dollar empire. She’s a glitter-wearing, bubble-blowing whirlwind of trouble who wants to get revenge on her ex. He’s the suit-clad face of responsibility. She’s the younger sister of his friend. And exactly no one thinks they should be within ten feet of each other. It started with one forbidden kiss. One very personal grudge… One impulsive decision… And the fear of things becoming real.

My parents' agreement on it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially when in their eyes, I was in love with Lily. Believing that, why would they think it’s okay to force Gianna on me. “Let’s just talk about this in private, okay?” Nomi approached us, a wide grin on his face. “I agree.” I stepped away from her, needing to make my escape before he caught up with us. I faked a friendly smile at Creed’s wife when I passed her on my way to the single building. Taser hung off to the side, watching Lily’s ex best friend chummy up to the woman. His frown deepened when he saw me and he pushed off the gate he was leaning on. I did not have the time for this.“So she told you.” He started, and fell into step beside me. “I’m not in the mood.” I answered curtly. “I just thought I offer some help, seei
***** LILY *****Jace turned to me, an eyebrow raised. “You know my favorite color?”I shrugged, “I read an article about you, you know incase someone jumps out of a bush and tells me to say your favorite color to prove my love for you.”The corners of his mouth tugged up as he shook his head. “Fine, team red it is.”His finger danced on my shoulder as we watched the game, while I tried not to dwell on the fact that it felt very comfortable to be this close to him.I cursed under my breath when the whistle went off, and the team in blue jumped about celebrating. “Better luck next time, princess.” He whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my neck. For good measure, he planted a chaste kiss on my cheek, probably rubbing in the fact I didn’t get one where I wanted. When I turned to glare at him, I was met with a lopsided grin that faltered when my eyes zeroed on that mouth. So close… He tugged on my hair, “no bad thoughts.” He mummured, then leaned forward and planted another peck on
***** LILY *****“Wow Jace, I never thought you could look bad, this is…great news,” he looked like he hadn’t slept a wink in days. And the ways his eyes traveled over me humorless, was concerning, “are you okay?”He huffed a breath and peeled his eyes off me. “Yeah I’m fine,”“You don’t look fine.” I mumbled. “I’m getting there.”Such a cryptic answer. I tuned his stereo till it was playing something I liked and hummed along to the music, as I forced my nerves down.“Are you sure you’re up for this?” I asked when we pulled into the crowded parking area. I stared at the large park ahead of us filled with over sixty men, women and kids. “We could just… I don’t know, hang out at my house. Let everyone assume we wanted to spend time together.”He shook his head, then brushed his hand over his face. “They need to watch us together. That’s the reason we’re here. You can make Taser jealous as well. I’m sure he’ll be doing his best to be near us.” He would. Which meant Evie would be right
***** JACE *****Three pairs of eyes, shock carved them, stared back at me. My mother had her hand on her chest dramatically. If I cared enough, I would shut my mouth and go out the door but I was filled with anger that had nowhere to go. “You won’t speak to your mother like that, especially in the presence of a stranger-““You mean the woman you think is so bloody perfect? She’s now a stranger?” “I’ll take my leave,” Gianna whispered, the room completely silent save for the sound of her shoes on the floor.I turned as well. I needed a fucking drink and space from these two.“You stay right there!” Mum snapped at me.“Alicia-““No, Gregory. He doesn’t get to embarrass me that way and walk away. You think you’re the only one who’s angry? I am too! For years I have endured. Gossip, insults! ‘Oh have you heard, Greg’s taken a new mistress’ ‘hope his new secretary can last longer than the last one’ ‘her son doesn’t even visit her’ ‘did you hear about his latest escapade,’ over and over
***** JACE *****Lily did not notice the woman standing outside as she was already halfway to glitterball’s stall, baby talking in a highpitched tone. “Ohhhh my precious little baby, you showed them didn’t you, and you’re such a beautyyyy.”I glanced back at Gianna again, and noted she had entered
***** JACE ***** One lie had become a truth, because it seemed Lily was genuinely interested in horses and looking forward to the races.“Apparently they’re just large dogs. Like a dog you could ride. Ohhh I hope I get to pet one!”“It’s a sport, not a petting zoo.” She mocked my voice and scrunc
***** LILY *****My cheeks were red. One, Glitterball had won! Two, I kissed Jace.Completely unprompted, no warning. And I’d like to say I didn’t mean to, but I had been thinking about kissing him again since the parking lot. I slapped my hands over my reddening cheeks and pushed it out of my mind
***** LILY *****Taser and I had been on sex hiatus. It was finals and things were hectic, I understood. But being so intimately pressed with a man that made little sounds like he was tortured while his teeth grazed my teeth, six months felt like a bloody lifetime.His tongue darted out to taste th
