I couldn’t help it. As we stood there, staring at each other, my emotions got the best of me, and my hand moved on its own to Cassie’s mouth.

Her surprised reaction broke the spell, and I had to dismiss myself from her sight to calm down before doing anything else.

The pleasure I received from only tracing her lip kept me aroused throughout the night. And even now, as we’re having breakfast, keeping my eyes off her is difficult.

I’m guessing Cassie is thinking about it because her gaze continually lifts to me at every bite she takes.

“How was the concert?” Mom asks.

“Good,” Cassie answers fast and clears her throat. “It was fun. Thanks for the tickets.” She looks at me briefly, dipping her head again to eat the last bit of her blueberry pancake.

“I had fun too,” I say without taking my eyes off my sweet cousin.

Vibrations echo from her pocket. As she retrieves her phone and checks the screen, a soft smile parts her sexy rosy lips.

“I’m going to take this. Thanks for breakfast, Aunt Helena.” She answers the phone while bringing her plate and glass to the sink. “Hey, Logan.”

I watch her through the window once she steps outside, laughing at whatever the guy is spewing.

It irritates me.

Cassie said Logan is her best friend. But are they only friends, or is he the guy she fucks?

It shouldn’t matter to me who my cousin is fucking. Yet it does. Because no matter how hard I try to fight it, having her beneath me has been crossing my mind.

“Finish up,” Mom says.

I glance at the half-eaten pancake on my plate. “I’m full,” I say and look up to continue watching Cassie.

Her voice is cheerful. She looks happy, practically dancing around on the patio.

Laughter gusts out of her, and I clench the fork tighter. The sounds are beautiful, as melodic as they were when she was younger. But it pisses me off that she’s laughing because of that guy.

“Did something happen last night?” Mom asks.

Her question zaps me back to reality, and it hits me that she’s probably decoding my dirty desire.

Turning my head, I catch Mom watching me over the mug as she drinks her coffee.

I compose myself and tell her, “No. We enjoyed the show. Talked all the way home.”

A pleased expression contorts her face. “Good. I’m glad you’re getting along again.” She looks at Cassie briefly. “It’s nice having your cousin back, hmm?”

“Yeah, it is.” I finish the rest of my orange juice, adding with a smile, “Very nice.”

“I’ll be in the office working. Take her out and enjoy the lovely day.” She gives my arm a gentle squeeze before leaving the kitchen.

I return my gaze to the beauty in the window, moistening my lips while admiring her.

Is Cassie aware of how dangerously captivating she is? Her brown skin appears even more luminous in the sunlight. I allow my eyes to trail over her body, appreciating her slender legs and thighs. And that butt… It’s so round. Those shorts flatter her nicely.

Cassie laughs again.

That’s it.

I shoot up from the table and march outside.
