Chapter 33

Kendall

Finn had… Finn… My brain stuttered every time I considered my brother’s betrayal, but right as I started to try and make sense of it, Connor switched on the tap, washing the blood from his knuckles.

He’d knocked my brother on his arse for me.

That was enough to draw me closer, to watch the drops of blood wash away and down the drain. The water felt cold, too cold when I pushed my own fingers into the stream to pull his hand out. I inspected the knuckles, reaching out to touch the wounds when a hiss from Connor made me stop.

“Doesn’t look like the knuckles are split,” I said.

“He wasn’t worth that. Cunt always went down like a sack of shit when I hit him.”

Connor bit off each crude word but that didn’t warn me off. Instead, I moved closer, pressing myself into the space between him and the sink. I could feel the cool of the metal at my back and heat of his body at my front as I stared up at him.

“So how would it have gone?”

“How would what have gone, Kendall?” Connor Woods hanging on by a thread. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it myself because he was renowned for keeping his cool at all times. My hand rose, wanting to see if his body was vibrating with tension, just like mine was, but I went to drop it. His wounded hand grabbed mine, picking it up and placing it on his chest so I could feel the rapid thump of his heartbeat. “What do you want to know?”

“You got me that interview?”

Mum had made it sound like it was something his mother had done after I catered one of her parties. His grip on me tightened, and he shook his head.

“You don’t get it. You never did. I know I was a fucking arsehole. I know you have no reason to believe me, but… Whatever you needed, I would’ve gotten it for you, Kendall. You just had to ask.”

“Before or after you laughed in my face?”

It felt like that was teenage me asking that question, not this Kendall. He picked me up in answer, setting me on the edge of the counter before stepping between my legs.

“After, obviously, but…” He leaned in, and I couldn’t help but reach up and stroke that cheek. His eyelids closed, and I saw the fan of his eyelashes against his cheek. “I don’t know how to apologise for all the bullshit we put you through. Once we worked out what we wanted, it was a subject of a lot of conversation, but… I just hoped… I wanted… I needed to find a way.” His eyes opened again and this time his gaze felt much too sharp, too intimate. “I still need to find a way.”

“Punching Finn out isn’t a bad way to start making amends,” I said with a little laugh, then felt bad straight afterwards. He was my brother, but… I reached inside, trying to find any kind of fraternal love right now, but failed.
