I walk into his room, barging the door open ready to yell him for taking my book.
"Max, did you-" I freezed, mouth open and turned away immediately, covering my eyes with both hands after seeing a half naked Max having just his towels round his waist barely relieving his V shape with his six abs and muscular arms. Damn! I didn't take enough view and I wish I can, but with the little view I had, I'd say he is damn sexy! The thought of his hard torso with drop of water made my cheek turn pink. Drip!
Hearing a dark chuckle from behind me I knew at once that he was now at my back. "Do you not like what you saw? My heart skips as he came closer and now land behind my neck sending shivers inside me, "or you want to see more?" His husky voice had that dark aura that make me want to fall at his feet as his minty breath leeched my skin sending goosebumps around me.
His nose bridge brushed my neck, which sends more butterflies down my stomach. I feel him trace his hard fingertip on my skin making my neck raise up involuntarily for more of his soft touch. He traced from my arm up to my neck and I let out a soft noise unwillingly as I swallow the heavy lump in my throat.
The warming scent of his body soap didn't help the case as well. I was lost in his fragrance, his touch, his breath, and this feeling, making me want to stay around his warmth forever.
"Seem like someone's lost of words," he said again, but this time more darker with a huge smirk. If not that I just took a bath, I would say I'm wet.
But why am I feeling this way towards him? He is my cousin, I can't fall for him. I have to stop this mystery of Lust and Affection, this mystery of Love and Want.
Even though I want him near me, even though I want this feeling, even though I want to see him strip nake- he is my cousin for goodness sake- Even though I want every single part of him near me, I can't let it be so, he is my cousin. This have to be stopped but can I stop it after falling deep for him?
Avery wrapped an arm around my waist to catch me before I could get out the door. He pushed me up against the door, trapping me between his body and the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked innocently.
His face hovered over mine, much closer than I was used to. His gaze didn't leave mine as he spoke. "It would have been different if I had told him from the start. You wanted me to lie for you. You started this. If we tell him what really happened, he would be pissed at me for lying to him."
"Stormie, you got a phone call!" Mason yelled up the stairs.
The closeness between Avery and me started to make my legs feel like Jell-O, and I couldn't make sense of it. Our breathing became heavier. His eyes trapped mine.
"Answer him," Avery murmured.
"Uh," I stammered. I cleared my throat. "Be down in a minute!" My voice came out higher than usual. My gaze still couldn't escape Avery's. My heart raced wildly as his chest rose and fell against mine.
Avery's gaze flickered to my lips.
What's happening? My gaze fell to his mouth, which was moving closer to mine.
Stormie West is brave, kind, and young. She has a lot to learn about love, trust, lust, and heartbreak.
Stormie's older brother, Mason, is brave, cocky, and a bit of an asshole. He's the wide receiver for the high school football team.
Avery Prince is Mason's best friend. Avery has it all, popularity, star quarterback, and girls. What more could he want, right?
