Avery's POV

I stopped walking.

I stood there on the path outside the athletics building with my bag over my shoulder and the afternoon sun on my face and I counted to three in my head so I could try to calm down before I turned around.

Colton was watching me with the expression of a person who had said something they knew was slightly too far and were waiting to see whether they were going to get away with it.

I looked at him for a long moment. He had his hands in his jacket pockets as if he wa

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   032: Liking him more

    Avery's POVHe did not answer straight away.I had asked about Jade like I was asking about a random stranger I didn't know. He was quiet as if there was an elephant in the room for a second or two before he picked it up. I lay still and waited and told myself I was just curious, that it was a natural follow-up question from everything else we had been talking about, that it had nothing to do with the fact that his stepsister was my best friend and I was lying next to him wearing a mask. But I genuinely wanted to know what he thought about her."She is struggling with the idea of me and my dad," he said. "I understand why though. Her mum remarried quickly and moved someone into her house and she did not have much say in any of it. That would be hard for anyone." He paused. "She is not wrong to feel what she feels. She is just bxng a brad though and directing all her negative energy at the nearest available targets instead of making peace with the actual situation.""So she's upset wit

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   031: Getting to know each other

    Avery's POVI was still coming down from an all time high caused by the series of mind blowing orgasms I received.My wig and mask were still very much in place and Liam's arm was still across my back, tracing all manner of shapes. I lay there for a moment and listened to his breathing and thought about what I had just told him.I was breaking my rules one by one each time I saw him. Why would I get personal and tell him things that he could use to find me?The information had come out before I could stop it. He had asked and I had answered reflexively and now I couldn't take it back. The strange thing was, I did not want to. I wanted to talk to him and tell him things about me because I was developing feelings for him. At least he still didn't know my real identity because that would be a disaster."Are you still awake," he asked after a few minutes of silence."Yeah," I said.He shifted slightly and I turned around to put my arm on his chest. I was lightly stroking his chest hair. T

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   030: See her again

    Liam's POVShe went still the moment I said her name.Not completely still. Just that small tightening across her shoulders that told me she had heard me and she knew exactly who it was. She did not turn around. She took two steps toward the bar counter like she was planning to order something and let the moment go, like I was not standing right behind her.I waited.She stopped walking.For a second she just stood there and I watched the back of her head and the straight fall of the wig and I thought, she is going to turn around. And then she did.She turned around slowly.She looked at me from behind the red mask and for a moment her expression did something she clearly had not planned. She looked flustered before she pulled her composure back together. Something that looked a lot like the feeling I had been trying to keep off my own face ever since the day I met her right at this bar.Scarlett was never flustered. Every other time I had seen her she was the calmest, most controlled

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   029: The plot

    Liam's POVI was three blocks from the library and still talking to myself.Who the fuck does she think she is?I kept walking with my hands deep in my pockets and my jaw so tight it ached. I had gone over it three times already and the answer was the same every time. Jade had stood on those steps and called me a parasite. Called my dad one too. Like she had us all figured out after five days. Like the fact that her mum fell in love with someone and chose to build a life with him was somehow something me and my dad had done to her personally.I pulled out my phone and called Jace. He had been my best friend since kindergarten and we played football on the same team in my former college. It was such a bummer to leave him to move with my dad.He picked up on the second ring. "What's up bro?""I need two minutes," I said."Talk."So I told him. The girl on the steps, the word parasite, the whole thing. He listened without interrupting and when I finished he was quiet for a second."Bro,"
