“It’s Heath. I have to take this.”
“Fifteen minutes.” Kaelyn’s voice drops to a throaty promise. “I’ll be ready.”
“Good.” Still smiling, I answer my brother’s call. “Heath, what’s up—?”
Heath’s panicked voice charges over the line. “Kastle, it’s Glory.”
“What happened?” My smile falls. “Where is she?”
“She had to be rushed to emergency care. The doctors don’t—” He stops. Sobs. “The doctors say she’s going to die.”
Twenty-Three
Kaelyn
I pull up to my driveway and frown when I notice a big, black SUV blocking the path. There’s a driver in the front seat and a burly security guard standing beside the truck.
My annoyance gets sharper when I recognize Amelia’s ostentatious vehicle. The hell is she doing here taking up my parking space?
I scowl as I maneuver behind her luxury car. The bodyguard eyes me through my windshield like I’m dog poop.
For the first time in my life, I want to run someone over. Or at the very least, ram my car into hers. My pumps tremble over the gas pedal. I crawl closer to her vehicle.
One inch.
Two.
My shoes want to fall on the pedal.
My car begs me to step on the gas.
It takes everything inside me to resist the urge. I can already hear the metal crunching. The taillights splintering. I can already see the satisfying horror that’ll drip off her face when she hears her vehicle crumbling in.
Then I think about the consequences. There’s an innocent guy in the truck. He didn’t ask to be a casualty in my fight with Kastle’s mother.
It’s not worth the legal struggle either. Amelia’s already flexed her litigation might at me and Brenna. I don’t want her suing me for destruction of property too. I’ll have to borrow money from mom and dad to pay the fines off and that’ll just be humiliating.
With a deep inhale, I close my eyes and try to steady my breath.
Mentally, I shove Amelia out of my head.
Replace her with thoughts of her son.
His tan skin.
His half-moon eyes.
His sexy smirk—the one that he was wearing when he told me to come over. When he showed me how impatient he was to be with me.
Tonight is the night.
I finally get to cross that line with Kastle. I’m finally going to experience how we fit together. Not just our minds and souls but our lips, our limbs, and our bodies. I’m going to find out what he’s like when he’s rough. Gentle. Loud. Unravelling.
He’s going to be mine.
We’re going to be friends that kiss.
Friends that get naked together.
