He grinned, causing my stomach to flutter.
“Trust me. I know.”
If I was being entirely honest, my infatuation probably started way before that day.
Shaking away the daze, I scoffed, “You wish, buddy. Not every girl wants to jump your bones.”
Adrian didn’t let up, eyeing me up and down; instantly making me feel naked.
How does he do that?
Once he noticed I was blushing, I looked away while he baited, “Whatever you say, buddy.”
Cade didn’t pay me any mind, chucking a pillow at Adrian instead. He was absolutely oblivious to my lusting after his brother.
“Get over yourself, Adrian. Paige isn’t stupid enough to fall for the likes of you. She knows better.”
Did I though?
At that point…
I didn’t know anymore.
In high school it was easy to pretend that he was nothing more than my best friend’s older brother. Although, there were times when I swear the line between us was getting crossed, I chalked it up to my delusional imagination and normal teenage girl hormones.
Now they were living together, and it was going to add a whole other level to my hidden desire of wanting to feel his lips on mine. To say I had very little experience when it came to guys would be an understatement. To be completely blunt, didn’t have any. The boys at our school always stayed away from me. I didn’t know if it was because of my tight bond with Cade or if that the second boy I kissed when I was fourteen talked badly about my skills.
It was during a game of Truth or Dare. He had braces and stuck his tongue down my throat, cutting up my bottom lip in the process. It was so traumatizing I didn’t care to be kissed again. Since then, guys at school didn’t approach me. Sometimes it felt like I had the plague.
All I had was Cade.
And that was good enough for me.
Adrian caught the pillow before it hit his face, then hurled it back at Cade.
“All right you two,” I intervened. Much like I had for the last twelve years. “Let’s put down the pillows and be nice to each other.”
“You should listen to Paige before you get hurt, little brother.”
“Eat shit,” Cade chuckled, throwing another pillow at him. “What are you doing back so early anyway? I thought you had a meet and greet with the pledges?”
“I served my time. Thought I’d head back early and see what you two losers are doing.”
“Rude!” I chimed in.
Adrian was a smart ass. He never meant anything by it. It was just his personality.
Changing the subject, he asked, “How’s unpacking going?”
“It’d go faster if Paige stopped riding my ass.”
“Well, I can give her something else to ride.”
This time it was me who threw a pillow at Adrian.
He snickered, blocking it from hitting him. “What?” He held his hands up in surrender. “I was just trying to be helpful.”
“You, helpful?” Cage scoffed, unfazed by his brother’s antics.
