Chapter 8

Nestra

My brother texted me back while I was at the bar with Poe, but I had waited until I was in my driveway to reply. My phone rang immediately after I’d sent off my text.

“You ditched him for another guy?” Nico’s voice thrashed against my eardrum.

I held my phone away from my face, but I could still hear Nico cursing through a long lecture on respecting people’s time and feelings.

“How could you do this, Nes! Did you even know that other guy, or did you rope him into your self-destructive behavior?”

I took a deep breath to restrain the hot tears filling my eyes. “Anthony wasn’t for me. I’m sure he’ll find someone else next week.”

“No, he won’t,” Nico barked back. “He really liked you and you embarrassed him in front of a restaurant full of strangers. He’s scarred for life.”

“Then maybe he needs to grow a spine. I didn’t want to go home with him then have to hear your judgment tomorrow. No matter what, my actions would have gotten me yelled at.”

The emotions were too much to hold back any longer. My hoarse voice encouraged the river of tears that slid down my face.

Nico may have been my younger brother, but he was one of the men in our family. He and my father were supposed to protect and care for me, but that often meant arguments like this. He thought he knew what was best for me, but he also wanted me to be someone else’s responsibility. If I ever married, my spouse would be given the duty, and Nico could live his life however he chose without familial guilt.

“I—”

“Good night, Nico. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

I hung up then turned my phone to silent. Nothing he said would make the experience any better. My head was aching, and my chest burned from alcohol from earlier.

I had successfully pushed the dirty thoughts about Poe out of my brain for what seemed like hours. His body on mine had felt so good. From his broad, solid chest, and his thick, muscled arms to his soft lips, everything about him was surreal.

Fuck. Why hadn’t I gotten his number?

I looked down at the notifications on my phone and saw three missed calls and a dozen texts from my brother. If I had let anything more happen between Poe and me, Nico and our parents would have ruined what probably would have been one of the best nights of my life.

My fingers had brushed over the front of his jeans and felt the beast he had been containing in them. I had gotten him hard with just a kiss, and that sort of power filled my ego as much as my stomach with nervous energy.

I let myself relive that too-brief moment once more before I shook him from my head, gathering my purse to make my way to my front door. Poe would forever be the one that got away—and inspiration for many vibrator-induced orgasms. Which sounded like the perfect way to end such a rollercoaster of a night.
