I sit up straight to face him. “And what effect is that, Jett Raven? Idon’t want to hear about our greenish eyes and pale ass skin and black hair and how good we look together.”
Something is fucking happening right now, and it can’t just be skin deep!
“Maybe that’s just part of it,” he says, ankle brushing mine.
My ankle is tingling now.Seriously?Iknow Jett is super affectionate like my parents and me, and yet Ihaven’t paid much attention to his touch before because it was just … natural. This? It’s more like … a fire show at Burning Man after you’ve had your first mushroom supernatural.
“You think the first moment we met went viraljustbecause of how we look? We didn’t even look like ourselves, Mads!”
My stomach backflips. Iknow what he’s talking about, I’m just not sure I’m ready to admit it. But he is. And hearing it aloud for the first time sends blood rushing to areas it really doesn’t need to be in. Ihate that my knee starts to jiggle anxiously. I've never been anxious around Jett before.
I sigh. “And if it isn’t our looks … or rock-related association, what is it?”
“Chemistry, Baby.”
I can only inhale about half the amount of oxygen Ineed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“No?”
I shake my head, but my God damn lips quirk up at the corners, giving me away. Itry to straighten them out. The preconceived idea of what Jett and Iwereto each other comes tumbling out of my mouth like a script written by my left brain. Words that feel wrong as soon as they leave my lips.
“I mean, we’ve always hadfriendchem, Jett, if that’s what you mean. Just because we’re close and cameras like our vibe doesn’t mean there’s more to it than that.” My voice quivers, and evenIdon’t believe me.
“Interesting,” he says, biting his lip. Iwant to wrestle it free with my own teeth and devour his mouth with mine.
WTF?Ihave never thought about kissing Jett, but now that the thought is there, Ican’t get rid of it. The lips and tongue Ithought were comically large for his teenage face now look so lush, sodeliciouson him, now that he's all man. SuddenlyI'mthe one who's starving.
“Because as a family we’re close,sure, but – we’ve never beenthatkindaclose, Baby. Because Ifelt something in the pool house, in the pool, that was like – the complete fuckin’ opposite of whatever the bloody hellfriendchemis.”
I swallow so loud and thick I'm basically a cartoon character at this point. “And what was that?”
Jett stands and looks over his shoulder at the house and then back at me. “A distinct change in how you react to me, Baby.” He inches closer, and my heart jackhammers, threatening to crack my ribs. An effect Jett has never had on me before, and it’s honestly terrifying.
“Thought for sure Ifelt … Imean, coulda been a fluke, but … mind if I… check?”
I must nod as Jett takes a step closer. Checkwhat now? Why did Inod, and who has taken over my body?
His shorts are slung so low on his hips that Isee hipbones Ineed to lick, with tattooed black roses on each side, accenting them. They didnotlook like that before; my brain isn’t making this shit up. Don’t even get me started on the chiselled V-line that used to be cute and soft and cuddlyas hell.
He’s the hottest thing Ihave ever seen, and Ijust don’t know how Ican feel so blindsided. Ilie against the back of my lounge chair and stretch my legs out like Iknow what’s coming. But my entire world is being thrown upside down, and Idon’t even have the brain capacity to think about what might happen next. Now he’s hovering over me, one foot on either side of the chair. My breath catches in my throat as he sits down. Right. On. My. Crotch.
I suck the stuck oxygen in with a harsh gasp and nearly make myself choke. “Jett! They’re going to see!” Isputter.
He shifts his hips against mine, and Ifeel him.Scratch my world being upside down, it’s straight upon fire. His fingers grip my hips, and the reaction isn’t like the pool houseorthe pool.
The alarming desire Ifeel for Jett mingles with the phantom feeling of the first time he squeezed me there, nearly eight years ago. If there was a babbling brook between my thighs before, well, now there’s a raging river.
“I don’t care right now; Ionly care about what I’m feeling, Baby. Between yourlegs. Iwanted to make sure Ididn’t imagine it when you wrapped your perfect legs around me in the pool house, or when you pushed your divine pussy against the back of my skull in the pool. You can lie, your pretty lips can spout all kinds of bullshit, but you can’t deny how wet you’ve been since Ipicked you up in there. You’re driving me absolutely mental, darling, and there iszero chanceI’m going back to being overlooked.”
“Jett.” Idon’t mean to, Iswear, but his name escapes my lips as a needy, desperate whine.
Since when am Ineedy for Jett Raven?There is a perfectly sexy rebound boy waiting for me inside. No strings attached.This?This is a fuckingweb!Mum calls Jett and Iher babies.More than one reporter has asked if he's my illegitimate half brother.Why am Iso twisted?
He rewards me with a jolt of pleasure as he thrusts his thick erection against my core, and his name falls from my lips again like a prayer.
“Mads. My Mads.” His voice is low and gravely like I've never heard it, his eyes darkening with lust.
Jett is lusting after me. Me! I’m the one making him rock hard. Holy shit!
