“You sure?” he says with a smirk.
He holds my gaze for a long moment, and I’d be lying if I said I’m not tempted. A tiny bit tempted. But only because I’m so keyed up and I’m pretty sure he can make good on that ten seconds flat promise.
Then Selene’s face catches my eye. She’s looking at Braxton the way Braxton’s last girlfriend looked at me. Murder glare.
I see the instant he realizes how his sister is looking at him. The mischievous, seductive grin is gone, as if it had never been there, and he takes my coffee out of my hands. “You really need to pick better one night stands, Ky. This is getting embarrassing.”
I let out another sigh. He takes a drink and hands it back. He’s more right than he knows.
“You know what, my new year’s resolutions got fucked all to hell, so I’m regrouping right now,” I say. “No more stupid hookups. No more pointless sex. I’m either going to be with a guy with actual potential, or no one at all.”
“Good for you, babe,” Selene says.
Braxton looks at me, his expression unreadable. I hate it when he looks at me like that. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but it usually means he’s about to make fun of me.
“Yeah, good,” he says. “You should be with someone with potential.”
I raise my eyebrows at him. Really? That’s all he’s got? “Okay, then. We’re all in agreement. I need you guys to help me stick with this. This year was supposed to be different, but it won’t be if I keep doing the same things over and over. Isn’t that, like, the definition of insanity or something?”
Braxton takes my coffee again. “Okay, then. To different.” He raises the cup and takes a sip, then hands it back to me.
“To different,” I say. Maybe it’s not midnight on January first, but I can toast to that.
