LOGINHis Best friend knows everything about him. Every secret, every mistake, his past with girls, which would explain why Jaxon's best friend wants him to stay clear of his sister but sometimes you can't help wanting something you're forbidden to touch. _____________ "Do you know who I am?" she asks and he bits done a small piece of her hand making her yelp a little and pull her hand back. "Who are you?" he smirked, leaning in real close to her face so close his nose almost grazes hers. "I am Evelynn Caya Heyes, that's who. You are Jaxon Shae O'Connor and I am Ethan's baby sister. You can't just keep kissing me." she informs him like he is stupid not knowing that. "I don't think you will keep thinking long on that one." he grins. _____________

Je n’ai jamais aimé faire de vagues.
C’est presque une règle. Me fondre dans le cadre. Rester discrète, élégante, effacée juste ce qu’il faut. Ne pas déranger. Ne pas dériver.
Je vis comme on retient son souffle : en silence.
Je suis mariée à Silvio depuis cinq ans. Cinq années calmes. Lisses. Un mariage bien rangé.
Il est un homme bien, oui. Sérieux. Prévisible. Gentil, parfois. Absent, souvent. Il m’aime dans les gestes utiles : une porte tenue, un SMS rapide, un "tu as besoin de quelque chose ?" lancé sans même détourner les yeux de l’écran.
Mais il ne me regarde plus.
Il ne me voit plus vraiment.
Peut-être qu’il ne m’a jamais regardée autrement que comme un choix sûr. Une femme posée, sans risques. Une épouse paisible, correcte, irréprochable.
La vie à ses côtés est une ligne droite, sans détour, sans vertige.
Notre quotidien ressemble à notre lit : toujours fait, toujours lisse, sans pli, sans excès.
Et moi, je m’y suis glissée. Par facilité. Par peur, peut-être.
Je croyais que c’était suffisant.
Mais un cœur qu’on maintient trop longtemps sous l’eau finit toujours par battre plus fort.
Par se débattre.
Puis il y a Noura.
Ma meilleure amie. Ma belle-sœur. La sœur de Silvio.
Elle, c’est l’éclat. Le désordre joyeux. Le feu d’artifice.
Elle rit avec le ventre, elle pleure sans honte, elle aime fort, comme si l’amour ne pouvait jamais blesser.
Elle me secoue, me bouscule, me rappelle à moi-même.
Je l’aime. D’un amour loyal, solide.
Je la protège. Même d’elle-même.
Même… de ce qu’elle refuse de voir.
Florent.
Son mari. Le danger tranquille.
Il ne parle jamais trop. Ne fait jamais un geste déplacé.
Mais il regarde.
Et ce regard… je le sens encore sur ma peau, même quand il n’est plus là.
Dès le premier jour, j’ai su.
Il y avait quelque chose dans sa façon de me fixer. Une intensité silencieuse, comme un piège sans mouvement. Une promesse vague, indéfinissable, mais là, dans l’air, entre chaque battement de cils.
Moi, j’ai souri.
J’ai fui.
J’ai évité.
Mais Florent est resté.
Insistant sans insister. Patient. Présent.
Une tension latente, toujours là, même dans les gestes les plus anodins.
Je me suis raconté des histoires. Je me suis dit que j’exagérais. Que c’était dans ma tête. Que je manquais d’attention.
Mais plus je le fuyais, plus je le sentais proche.
Une ombre constante dans mes silences.
Chaque dîner partagé est devenu un exercice d’équilibre. Une danse d’évitement.
Il frôle ma main en me tendant un plat.
Il me parle doucement, mais ses mots ont un poids que je ne sais plus ignorer.
Il m’observe sans détours, même quand tout le monde rit.
Et moi… je m’échappe. Un verre d’eau. Une porte à pousser. Un prétexte.
Mais il est toujours là. Même derrière mes paupières closes.
Et ce soir… ce soir, c’est pire.
Silvio est en déplacement.
Noura est montée plus tôt, fatiguée. Elle m’a embrassée sur la joue. Elle m’a souri comme une sœur, douce et légère.
Elle ne sait rien.
Elle ne voit rien.
Et c’est précisément ça qui me brise.
La maison s’est tue. Un silence lourd, presque poisseux. Comme si l’air lui-même savait.
Je descends, pieds nus, chercher un verre d’eau.
La lumière est déjà allumée.
Florent est là.
Il est adossé au comptoir. Bras croisés. Immobile.
Il me regarde comme s’il savait exactement ce que je suis venue chercher — et ce que je redoute de trouver.
Je m’arrête net.
— Tu ne dors pas ? je murmure.
Sa voix est douce. Maîtrisée. Trop maîtrisée.
— Je t’attendais.
Mon ventre se noue. Mon souffle devient instable. Je sens déjà l’orage au creux de mes reins.
— Florent… il ne faut pas.
Il s’avance. Un seul pas. Mes jambes veulent fuir, mais restent ancrées.
Je suis figée. Entre peur et désir. Entre raison et vertige.
— Tu le dis… mais tu ne bouges pas, dit-il, tout bas.
Il a raison. Je ne bouge pas.
Je serre le verre entre mes mains. Mes phalanges blanchissent. Mes épaules se tendent.
— Tu es le mari de Noura. Je suis… mariée. Tu le sais.
— Et toi, tu sais ce que tu ressens, réplique-t-il. Tu te caches derrière les mots. Tu fais semblant. Mais moi, je le vois.
Il est devant moi maintenant. Si près. Trop près.
Son odeur me trouble. Un mélange de peau chaude, de linge propre, et de quelque chose d’inavouable.
Je ferme les yeux. Une seconde. Pour me retrouver. Me reprendre.
Il lève la main. Frôle ma mâchoire. À peine.
Et c’est comme si toute ma peau se contractait.
Je sursaute.
Un choc électrique.
Je recule. Enfin.
D’un pas. Un seul. Mais c’est assez.
Je respire fort. Trop fort.
— Florent… je ne peux pas. Je ne veux pas. Tu comprends ?
Un silence.
Il me regarde. Intensément. Et dans ses yeux, rien ne faiblit.
Pas de honte. Pas de colère.
Juste une certitude tranquille : ce n’est pas fini.
— Ce n’est pas le moment, dit-il simplement.
Et dans sa voix, il y a tout : le respect de ma limite… et l’attente. L’obsession.
Je repose le verre sur le plan de travail. Je ne peux pas boire.
Je tourne les talons.
Je remonte.
Chaque marche est une brûlure.
Chaque marche me rappelle que je suis encore en train de choisir.
Et que peut-être… demain, je ne saurai plus comment résister.
18. Drunken brother "My baby, my perfect baby," Ethan grinned wrapping his arms around Sophie as she stood talking to Cindy. "Looks like someone has been enjoying the beer," Cindy smirked taking a sip of her own drink. "Ethan, are you drunk?" Sophie spun around in his arms wanting to laugh at his face; he was always a cute drunk. "Maybe just a tiny bit," he smiled kissing her hard and making her stumble back. "You wanna know something?" "What?" Sophie laughed at his behavior, wiping her lip. "When we were broken up-" His hiccupped interrupted him. "I hiccupped," he laughed making Cindy and Sophie laugh. "We can see that Ethan," Cindy shook her head at the boy in front of her. She has known Ethan awhile and she thought he was a pretty great brother to Eve. She was jealous not having someone to look out for her like he does. "Yup..." Ethan nodded. "What was I saying?" He squinted looking at Sophie who shook her head at him. "Right we broke up." "Ethan I don't want to talk about
17. Spicy "Eve..." Jaxx sighed following Eve down a hall. He heard the music start back up and figured everyone was over the little show in the kitchen, but that didn't change that the girl a few steps ahead was sprinting away from him. "Eve!" He growled when she tossed a look behind her and walked into a room where the door was finally unlocked. "Eve!" He followed her in, quickly realizing it was not a bedroom, but a closet. "Why are you following me?" Eve growled leaning against the wall behind her. "Why did you just walk into a closet?" Jaxx looked around at the suits and the odd smell of an old person. "Because I didn't want you following me," she crossed her arms over her chest, acting as if walking into the closet was her plan. She was trying to get away from him and was more hoping for a bedroom, a bathroom, an office, or something. The closet was the last place she intended on going but Bevin's house has so many damn rooms and doors, she just entered the one that finally
16. Fighting jealousy She didn't know what he was doing. She wasn't sure the game he was playing, but she didn't like it. First he seemed to ignore her all night, then he stood staring, now he was dancing with Rose; the definition of slut. What did she think she was doing? She knew Jaxon had come with Eve yet there she was hitting on him. Eve assumed Jaxon would have at least asked her to dance or something, but he never did, and now he was off dancing with the slut and she was pissed. "You ok E?" Mouth asked noticing his friend had lost her movements. Mouth has known Eve since they were in fifth grade. She was definitely different then his other friends, but for some reason the girl in the back was shy and he never understood it. Even at seven she was gorgeous, had a bubbly personality, and once you got her talking, she wouldn't shut up, but he could never seem to get her talking. She smiled a lot, he remembered that. Her dimples always grew deeper and he knew when they got so dee
15. Who is mouth? The music was too loud for Sophie's liking and the smell of weed made Eve's stomach churn a little, but all in all they were having fun. The guys let Eve and Sophie socialize a little but kept a close distance in case they gave a sign for help. It was fun, the party like most they attended, was fun but Jaxon definitely wished he was the one who was dancing all up close to Eve instead of someone she referred to as 'Mouth'. The name was a little weird if you asked him and the fact that the guy looked not at all like the type who would make Eve get those little smirks she was giving him, it confused him a little more. "Like that's his real name?" Jaxon asked once again still not getting any of what was going on. "Umm...no," Ethan took a sip of his beer looking at his sister. "Marvin is his name but since I have known th
12. Fun in bed They rolled around on the bed both wrestling for top and power over the other and it made Eve laugh. It was fun wrestling with Jaxon and adding the fact he was so desperately trying to kiss her it made her smile even more.
11. The fire bewteen "I'm sorry about the whole Daniel thing." Sophie apologized as she sat on her friend's bed, "I know it must still hurt some." "It's not that bad anymore." Eve lied as she cha
8. Rescue pt. 1 Eve walked around the small dinner picking up her friends food. Well her best friend, her brother and Jaxon's. She still had yet to figure out Jaxon's hot and cold act. He had been there a week and since their little bathroom
13. "Jaxy has a little crush'' Eve stretched her hands high above her head before rolling out of her bed. She slept well; she slept fantastic because after her night of rolling around with Jaxx really did make her tired even if it was just playing around. She had a feeling she was in trouble; like s
