“She can’t know,” he states.

“Duh.”

He grabs my arm and yanks me towards him. I squeak when his lips hit mine, crushing them painfully.

Ouch.

He pulls away just as suddenly, his eyes wild and angry. Does he really think that’s enough?

This time I yank him, and his hands grab my biceps, squeezing hard but not so hard that it hurts. I lick the seam of his lips, tasting him and he opens his mouth. Finally.

My tongue touches his. He tastes of cola and something else, something that’s strictly him. It’s exactly how I imagined but also so much better. He growls as his lips move against my own. This isn’t passionate, this is anger. It’s incredible.

It’s exactly what I need. I have a feeling he needs it too. Especially after that conversation.

I deepen the kiss, grabbing the back of his neck so he can’t escape but he bites my bottom lip so hard my eyes ping open and I taste blood.

“That’s enough,” he snaps, leaning back to glare at me.

My hand connects with his cheek and his head flies to the side. A welt the shape of a handprint appears on his face, bubbling across the surface of his smooth, bronze skin.

We stare at each other for a beat as blood drips down my chin.

“I decide when it’s enough.” I grab his hair and kiss him again, diving deep into his mouth. I can taste him, myself, blood… fuck.

This is my game. I get to decide when this ends. I get to choose. Not him.

I climb onto his lap, my lips still attached to his. He doesn’t stop me. His eyes are squeezed closed as our mouths assault each other, his hands by his sides. He won’t touch me. He doesn’t want to. But I want him to. I need him to.

I want this. I need this. He needs this. I can give him what my sister can’t. I can be an outlet for all his anger, and I can tell that he has so much of it. Maybe as much as me.

I reach between us, pulling down the elasticated waist of his paint-covered sweatpants, and before he even realizes what I’ve done, I have my hand around his cock.

His eyes spring open, and he pulls back. “Wait,” he breathes, panicked, but it’s too late, I’ve already worked my skirt out of the way, yanked my panties to the side and have poised him at my entrance.

“WILLOW, STOP!”

My back hits the floor so hard my head bounces off the concrete. Ouch.

Nokosi stands above me, eyes blazing as he pulls his pants back up. “Are you fucking insane?”

“Probably,” I reply, smiling at him. “That and horny.” I hide the rejection I feel, the burning anger and jealousy that he still chose my sister after that kiss.

He needs me I can tell.

“You’re so uptight.”

“Stay the fuck away from me,” he barks, grabbing his truck keys off the ground and heading towards the door.

“It’s just sex, Nokosi… I know you want it.”

“Not with you.”

My hands fist by my side and I punch him in the back between his shoulder blades. “What does she have that I don’t?”

“My heart,” he replies, slamming the door closed so hard a piece of wood splinters from the frame and falls to the floor.

Just his heart? I could win that too. I could own that.

I’m worthy.

I pick up the shard of wood and hold it so tightly in my hand my knuckles turn white.

The way he kissed me… I know he wants me… it’s just my sister got to him first.

“We need to talk,” Nokosi whispers, taking my arm in his hand.

“I’m playing soccer,” I whine, looking at Mackenzie who I hate but am choosing to stay close with because she knows things and I need to stay on top of what she knows.

Nokosi kicks the ball away from me and all but drags me to the edge of the field.

“I’ll be back,” I call, ignoring my teacher when she blows the whistle at me. I investigate my lover’s pointed pupils and then up at the sun in the sky. It’s a really nice day, he better not be about to spoil my mood. “Couldn’t this have waited?”

“Probably,” he answers, grinning and pulling me into his arms to kiss me. His hands cup my rear making me squeak and shove him away.

“Will you stop?”

“Never.”

“Is this what you pulled me out of class for? To grab my butt and kiss me?”

“Well, that and… Dad just called.” He pulls out his phone and I shield it with my hand so I can see the screen. “He said that one of our neighbors is having another kid and have bought a bigger place. They’re selling their old one. It’s a ten-minute walk from Dad’s at most.” He scrolls through the pictures of the log cabin-type house that’s like his own. “Dad said he’ll loan me the money for the deposit because my savings aren’t enough… but I don’t want to get it if you’re not going to do it with me.”
