All Chapters of Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Kassidy's POVOnce Nova was gone, Eli immediately turned around to me.. He pulled the heavy wolf plushie from my hands, dropped it on the gravel and grabbed my shoulders, looking straight into my eyes,."Are you alright? Did she hurt you?"I pulled my eyes away from the crowd where Nova had disappeared. "Yes. Yes, I'm okay."The rest of our group was still dead silent, Marcus, Celeste, Maya and Devon were standing behind us, looking completely thrown off by Nova's sudden outburst about Piper.Then Celeste glanced around our quiet circle, shivering slightly in her dress. "This place officially sucks now anyway. Let's get out of the cold and get some takeout""Yeah, I'm starving," Maya agreed, nodding quickly as she pulled her beanie lower over her ears. "My toes are freezing off."Devon then pulled Maya close to his side. "Hey, I offered to carry you across the gravel, but you said my form was terrible. Don't blame the festival for your frozen feet."Maya laughed breathlessly, nudging

Kassidy's POVBefore long, my mini Christmas holiday was over, and I had to resume work. The brief, chaotic fun of the festival and our ridiculous club adventure felt like a distant dream the moment my alarm blared at six in the morning. Winter had descended as well, because the house was freezing. The winter winds were rattling the windowpanes as I dragged myself out of bed and pulled on my work uniform. I had promised my boss at Sal's Pizza before exams that I would stay during the Christmas and New Year period. So, while almost every other student on campus was packing their bags to fly back to their families, I was staying behind in the snow, bound by my word and my need for the pay from extra shifts.Before leaving home, I saw Nova in their home. I was tying my sneakers in the hallway when she stepped out of her bedroom, dressed in a thick maroon wool robe. Thank God, she looked completely sober now, her perfect composure fully restored, but her eyes were dark as she stared at m

Eli's POVKassidy was looking up at me with a look of utter terror in her eyes. I turned away from her, pressing my phone to my ear for the tenth time, listening to the hollow ringing of Nova's line. She wasn't picking up.The wind was howling around us, throwing heavy sheets of snow across the steps and burying our boots. Beside me, Kassidy was shivering violently, her jaw locked tight as she tried to stop her teeth from chattering. Seeing her look so small and frozen made me even more furious."She isn't picking up," I growled, ripping the phone away from my ear. "She’s screen-blocking my number.""D...do y...you know any of h...her fr...iends?" Kassidy asked through her chattering teeth."That's true." I replied, scrolling furiously through my contacts until I found the name of Nova's friend, Chloe. Chloe was always attached to Nova's hip at the campus bars, so I knew they’d be together. The line rang twice before she picked. The first thing I heard was a loud, thumping bass beat.

Kassidy's POVIt looked like an absolute Christmas miracle, the decorations in the room.I turned around slowly, my eyes wide and shiny with tears as I looked up at Eli. He was standing right behind me. His large hands were tucked casually into his jeans pockets, and there was a hopeful look in his eyes."So," Eli said, his voice slightly nervous as he stepped closer to me in the warm light. "Are you going to keep holding on to that thought, Kassidy, or are you going to give me an answer?"I wanted to say yes as fast and easily as possible. Every single part of my soul was screaming at me to just let go of the past, to throw caution to the wind, and to accept the beautiful Christmas miracle he had laid out for me.But I paused.The initial rush of pure joy started to disappear, and the cold, harsh reality of our lives came crashing back. I had replayed this moment in my head so many times. The version where I just said yes without thinking, where I let myself be swept up in the lights

Eli's POVI bent to press my mouth on the hollow just inside her hip, tracing my tongue across the skin, tasting a faint tinge of salty sweat. I was making her hot. Maybe next time, I'd use an ice cube to cool her off.Still driving her mad with those soft strokes in the hollow just above her opening, I began to kiss my way up her body. I nibbled at her hip bone,licked the indentation of her waist, detouring over to dip my tongue into her belly button. She quivered beneath me, and when I glanced up, I found her eyes closed and her mouth shaking. That beautiful hair surrounded her like a halo, and her flushed face had never looked more lovely.I continued kissing, stroking, tasting, until I reached her breasts. I licked the base of one, nibbled the top of the other, but didn’t go near her nipples.She was still silent, but her hands dug at the sheets and her legs had gone a little stiff. “Do you want more?”She nodded.“Put your hands up onto the headboard and hold on.” She did as I
