I Kissed My BestFriend’s Brother. Now What?

KAIDA'S POV Maverick stared blankly at me, if anything, he didn’t find my witty reply funny. “I need to leave, it’s getting late,” I said with an awkward smile as I walked past him. As I pushed the restaurant entrance door open and left, I could feel his gaze boring into my back until I was finally out of sight.And upon arriving at the apartment I share with Ember, I took off my bag and fell flat onto the bed, the weight of the breakup weighing me down.Fresh tears cascaded down my cheeks, and my chest tightened. It was hard to breathe as snorts mixed with sobs pushed their way out. I was sure that by tomorrow, my eyes would be red and puffy. The entrance door to our apartment pushed open, and I immediately wiped my face clean and sat upright. I didn’t want Ember to know, at least not yet. If she knew, I was sure she’d cuss Liam out and even go to the arena where he practices to create a scene. I didn’t want her to do any of that because of me. As expected, my door creaked ope

MAVERICK'S POVBringing personal matters into a game was never in my code of conduct, but I broke it the minute I took it upon myself to score a point for Kaida, defeating her ex-boyfriend. My teammates were a bit confused at my sudden attitude, but they did well in hiding the fact that they were surprised and even had questions for me.The game came to an end, and Liam wouldn’t stop glaring at me, wishing I could just drop dead to the ground. We've never liked each other—correction, he has never liked me because no matter how hard he tried to learn my strategies in games, he could never beat me. Recently, I found out he had been snooping around, watching every game I play, both at the college arena and outside, including my games while growing up. But one thing he wasn’t aware of was this; while he was busy getting coached by expensive coaches, I learned from our local coach in Rochester, despite being able to afford hundreds of expensive coaches. That was a secret he never got

KAIDA’S POV It was crazy. Hectic And confusing. I should have thought this through before diving in without caution. If I had known Maverick would turn out to be a wild predator, I wouldn't have thought about the kiss, let alone gone through with it. Yet, it was impossible to stop him as he deepened the kiss, giving my lips a small bite, just enough to make them part, but not enough to hurt me. My lips parted with a gasp, and he drove his tongue into my mouth. The warmth from his tongue was electrifying and sent shivers slashing down my spine. Jesus Christ... This man doesn't seem to get enough. He was so lost in the warmth of my mouth that he didn't even think about the public space we were in. Everything around us stopped. The music, the dancing students. All eyes were on us, watching like a movie on a movie set. Eyes widened, lips parted, jealousy brewed, and hatred tripled. The girls who were fans of the Phoenix team, especially Maverick's fans, were sure

MAVERICK’S POVI’ve kissed my share of girls, and when I said my share of girls, they weren’t much. I’m not a fuck boy like Caleb, our youngest member and I’m not a fan of kiss, so the number of times I kissed a girl, was one I could count.But, I swear to fuck, no girl has ever gotten me hard like Kaida did.I never thought she’d use me against her Ex-boyfriend, but after having a taste of her lips last night, I didn’t care.It wasn’t my intention to deepen the kiss when she thought to break it, but I didn’t know what came over me.Whatever came over me was certainly devilish, because fuck! It left me wanting more.It hasn’t been up to a day since I mentally scolded myself to stay far away from her as it wasn’t helping me in any way.If I get closer to her than I already was, I would be consumed by obsession. Feral obsession for her.One that’s dark and primal.But screw that! I don’t mind getting close to her. She has screwed with my head and now, there is no turning back.It took

KAIDA’S POV I could pay millions just to watch the surprise look on Liam’s face, over and fucking over again.It was so hilarious that I almost burst out laughing.I haven’t felt this way before. Happy, satisfied, contented…. Wow, the feeling was amazing.“Bitch…” he drawled, his jaw clenched and his eyes red with anger. “How dare you lay your filthy hands on me?”I scoffed at his words, driving my fingers into my hair. “Filthy hands? Dude, If I was given another opportunity, I would love to break your bones with these filthy hands.” I replied, a wide, satisfied smile on my lips.I knew something was stopping Liam from hitting me and that was the wide entrance door in the cafeteria.We were literally standing at the front of the cafeteria, where everyone was watching, so he had no right to hit me.His image as the captain of the Runners team was important to him, and of course, he wouldn’t want to be benched, all because he hit a woman who happened to be his ex-girlfriend.“You!” He
