Panic flashed through her gaze. The air around her felt too thin, and heat spread all over her body.

She could not believe that the two were dating, yet Jace had kissed her…

She pressed her lips together guiltily.

When Lexi saw the reaction from Katrina, a wicked smile spread across her lips, and she continued.

“I lost my favorite earring that night. You had to buy me another pair,” she said.

“That’s because you pestered me to,” Jace replied without glancing at her. His gaze stayed on Katrina,

  • Too close brother    Permission to kiss please

    “No way! This is insane,” Daniel slapped the floor, thrilled and clueless about what he had just done.Katrina forgot to breathe for a moment. Her gaze shifted to Jace. He didn’t look surprised or nervous like she was. Nor was he amused. It made her more nervous and a little panicked that he was going to reject her.Her lips pressed together, and she opened her mouth to reject but saw every eye watching her, daring her to.“I don’t think she dares,” Lexi mocked, seeing her falter.Katrina turned and moved close to Jace. She leaned in, but his hand stopped her. She opened her already shut eyes nervously.“If you want to kiss me, you have to ask,” he said, his gaze hard on her.She squeezed her face. “What?” her voice came out low.“Ask me for permission,” Jace repeated, his eyes flickering to her lips and back to her gaze.Katrina’s throat went tight. She thought of grabbing the bottle and drowning it down. But seeing all the eyes focused on her and watching, she closed her eyes and in

    Katrina plugged her ears with her hands as they stepped into the loud room. Music hummed from a speaker in the corner. The air smelled like sweet alcohol and cologne.Holly’s fingers laced through hers immediately, warm and firm. “Come on,” she tugged her forward excitedly. “Sit with me.”They moved into the living room, past the half-filled cups on the table and the circle of people downing drinks with loud laughs. They got to where the others were.Ray was leaning back on the couch with a lazy grin, Daniel sat cross-legged on the floor, already tipsy, and Blake’s face darkened the moment he saw her. His mouth tightened into a frown.Lexi also swallowed her smile. The bottle in her hand dropped back onto the table as her expression turned sullen. “What is she doing here?” she asked impatiently.“It’s my birthday. I decide who can and can’t be here,” Holly replied, her hand wrapped around Katrina’s.Katrina’s eyes flicked around, and she swallowed, trying not to be nervous, especially

    Lexi kissed him fully, her lips pressing and seeking warmth, craving a response. But Jace stayed rigid, unmoving like a statue. Her hands tangled in his hair, searching for warmth but only receiving cold stillness.She froze, pulling back slowly, her lips hovering as she was unable to believe what she had just felt. Her expression cracked, the pretty mask slipping. Her brows drew together, a faint crease forming between them.Her smile faltered into something tight and wounded. Her eyes darted over Jace’s face, desperately searching for anything rather than the emptiness in his eyes.A flicker of panic crossed her features, and her lips trembled, but she forced them into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Jace...” she whispered, her voice breaking at the edges.It felt like she was watching her world crumble.Jace exhaled, slow and controlled. Then, with steady hands, he began to peel her off him. He unplugged her grip from his shirt despite her protests not to let go and stepped ba

  • Too close brother    You're doing more than that

    Jace went completely still. The sudden silence made Katrina open her eyes slowly. She found him watching her, his gaze no longer teasing, more like he was studying her, as if he had been testing her this entire time.He wanted to know whether she had truly blacked out and forgotten another one of their memorable moments, and listening to her not deny it, but instead look terrified and confused, convinced him.He exhaled once, slowly, leaning a bit back. “Lexi is not my girlfriend,” he said suddenly.Katrina’s gaze snapped to him so fast, her lips parted, letting out a soft, breathless pause. No words came out. She tried to pretend like she didn’t care, to hide the relief in her gaze.“I don’t need to know that,” she muttered, forcing coldness into her voice. we're just my step brother, right?" she said with sarcasm and tried to walk past him.Jace moved immediately, his palm pressing against the wall beside her head, blocking her. She halted, her eyes flickering to his arm, then back

    Blake brought the car to a stop, his gaze turned toward Katrina, who immediately grabbed the door to get out. He swiftly stretched forth and pulled her back.“Stop playing hard to get. It’s not attractive despite what you girls say,” he snapped.Katrina pushed, snatching herself from his grip. “Get your filthy hands off of me,” she yelled and tried to get down again. She managed to slip out before he could stop her again, but he followed after her immediately.He grabbed her and pushed her against the car, forcefully gripping her. Horror flashed through Katrina’s eyes as she struggled with him. “Stop pretending. You’re just like every one of them who approaches people like us for money, wanting to climb the social ladder,” he spat angrily.His anger was fueled by Lexi’s outburst toward him days before. He could not contain his fury seeing her today and went after her the moment she walked out of the courtyard.“You can shove your disgusting money and yourself in the toilet. I don’t wa

His gaze was so focused that it seemed like he was trying to read her mind and know the chaos going on there.“Well, you always give in to me,” Lexi replied. Her other hand tugged at his jacket, pulling him a little closer, and she leaned her face close, her eyes swiftly moving to Katrina and back to Jace in a second.Color drained completely from Katrina’s face, and she felt too hot. She tried to ease herself with her hands.“You okay?” Ray asked.She f
