Chapter 13

Portal traveling? Yeah, if you’d asked me a few days ago if I thought stuff like that existed, I’d have gone with a um… are you crazy? Yeah, I may have powers, but I’ve also spent most of my life believing I was the only one who did. Turns out, I was wrong.

Way, way wrong…

Entering the portal is a lot like stepping into a hot tub. Bubbly warmth immediately engulfs me, and I swear water seeps through my clothes. Yet, when I stumble out of the rainbow light, my jeans and shirt are dry. Apparently, though, my feet have forgotten how to work, and I end up losing my hold of Max’s hand as I trip forward. But arms enclose around me and stop me from falling to the ground.

Whoever is touching me, their nearness causes a jolt of electricity to zap through my body.

“Gods, do you have two left feet or something?” Foster grumbles as he wraps his arm around my waist.

Grimacing, I shove him away. Out of all the Everettsons to catch me, why did it have to be him?

“Your klutziness is going to get you hurt here,” Foster continues, crossing his lean arms and glaring at me.

“I’m not that klutzy,” I argue. “And even if I am, there’re six of you to keep me from getting hurt, so I guess I don’t have too much to worry about, do I?” I smirk but, deep down, I’m a bit surprised.

I’ve never been one for smarting off to people I don’t know, but I’ve done it a couple of times since I’ve been with the Everettsons. Is it the stress of the situation making me do it? Or are the Everettson brothers bringing out a different side of me? A side I’m not sure I hate or like. Maybe a bit of both.

“You really trust us to protect you?” Foster questions with a raise of his brow.

I shrug. “Sure.”

He leans in, his eyes darkening. “Then you’re stupider than I thought.”

“And you’re a bigger asshole than I thought,” I quip, curling my fingers into fists.

He smirks. “I thought you would’ve figured that out after you tried to hit on me back in Honeyton.”

My face stupidly floods with heat.

Since he hadn’t mentioned the incident before, I assumed he either forgot about it or was just going to pretend it never happened. That was probably pretty damn stupid of me.

“I wasn’t hitting on you.” Not a total lie. I was planning to hit on him that day, but his immediate rejection put an end to it before it even started. “I was just being friendly.”

“Liar.” His smirk magnifies as he slants closer, the rainbow portal reflecting in his eyes. “I could tell you wanted me. You still do.”

“Actually, I don’t.” That part is true. Do I think Foster is hot? Absolutely. But I’m in no way attracted to a guy who has called me stupid and treats me like shit. “The second you opened your mouth, any attraction went poof.” I make a poofing gesture with my hand right in his face.
