CHAPTER TWELVE

Parker

“I don’t know why I did that.” The words tumbled out of Raven’s mouth, and she stepped back again. She’d barely removed her hand from in front of her face to speak and now it was back, stretched across the lower half of her face, covering her mouth completely. Her nostrils were flaring from the tiny gap she’d left herself to breathe between the top of her finger and her nose.

I didn’t know why she’d done it either. The last thing I’d ever expected would be for her to kiss me. She was attracted to me—that was obvious from this morning with the pool table—but I assumed I’d be the one to break. Her control would never let her. Her pride would keep it contained.

But I hadn’t broken.

I didn’t know what the hell had happened, but I was pretty sure it was down to the mixture she’d put in the glass. She’d been a little too liberal with the tequila the last time around.

She was looking at me, though, and she didn’t look drunk in the slightest. Her gaze was focused, and sure, her cheeks were flushed, but that was more to do with the fact she’d kissed me than she’d been drinking.

And now, she wasn’t moving except for blinking at me. I didn’t know if she was shocked or horrified or both, but I knew one thing so clearly.

That kiss was nowhere fucking near enough.

My fingers twitched with the desire to grab her and kiss her properly. To make those damn blue eyes flutter shut. To make her red fingernails dig into my arms. To make her heart pound.

Every second I didn’t do that was a personal victory. It was the ultimate exercise in restraint, because the ghost of her lips still lingered on mine, and the warmth of her palm on my skin felt like it was burning.

Temptation like nothing I’d ever felt before gripped hold of me. It tightened my muscles and pumped through my blood like adrenaline, making it harder and harder not to give in and fucking kiss her like I wanted to.

I wanted to curl my hand into her hair and tug her head back. Wanted to hear her gasp as the pull on her hair made her scalp sting. Wanted to feel her desperation as my lips hovered over hers before I finally kissed her.

This was Raven.

So, I couldn’t.

I grabbed the tray with too much force and kicked open the kitchen door. It clattered against the wall, slamming slut after me, and I put the tray down on the side. The chrome top was cold against my palms as I gripped the edge and leaned forward, dropping my head.

My cock was fucking hard. Fucking hard at the thought I could walk out there and kiss her so damn thoroughly I’d wipe off all that red lipstick. That she’d be wet and would want me as much as I wanted her in this moment.

Raven.

She was Ryan’s sister.

Off-limits.

Out of bounds.

So fucking tempting.

I couldn’t do it to my best friend.
