Chapter 21

Jordan

When the knock finally came at my front door, I gritted my teeth and braced myself for action. Showtime.

After my talk with Mauli, I had decided to shelve telling Kole the truth for now. I still felt like one giant turd for doing it, but Mauli had convinced me that it was for the best to keep my relationship with Elyse a secret.

Although I knew he was going to be hurt if he ever found out, I wanted to save him that pain if I could. Telling the truth just so I wouldn’t have to live with the guilt anymore wasn’t exactly why I had wanted to do it, but I could see why Mauli said it would be selfish of me to come clean so I wouldn’t have to carry that burden anymore.

But it also meant that I was going have to be careful with Kole and Elyse today. Having to act natural and nonchalant about Elyse when I was with Kole was nothing new though, so I’d simply have to continue putting on the same act I’d been putting on for years.

Striding toward the door, I plastered a grin to my lips and swung it open. “Hey, guys. Glad you could make it.”

Kole smiled and Elyse gave me a little wave, standing about a foot behind him. “Hey, bro. I was thinking we have a quick coffee. Then we can head out.”

He strode past me into the house and headed straight to the kitchen. Kole, Elyse, and I all needed at least two cups of coffee before we got going in the mornings, when we could manage to fit them in, and Kole was so at home here that he didn’t need to wait for me to offer. He simply went ahead and started boiling the kettle.

Meanwhile, my gaze caught on Elyse’s for a moment and I couldn’t look away. I had an almost irresistible urge to take her into my arms and kiss her, but I knew Kole would come looking for us if we didn’t join him soon.

“Hi,” she said, a slightly breathy quality to her voice telling me she wanted the same thing I did. She cleared her throat and took a breath, a smile curling on her lips. “Thanks for agreeing to hang out with us again today.”

“Yeah.” I cleared my own throat and ran a hand through my hair to stop myself from reaching for her when she walked past me. “Anytime.”

Our arms brushed before I stepped back to let her in and shut the door behind her. Fuck, it was going to be so much more difficult to keep my hands to myself today.

“How are you?” she asked conversationally as she let me lead her to the kitchen, like she didn’t already know where it was.

“Good. You?” I walked to the counter where Kole was readying the mugs and leaned with one hip against it. “The island’s still treating you well, I hope.”

Her blue eyes lit up as she nodded. “It really is.
