“Hello there, Cinderella. Back from the ball so soon?” Daniel says with an eye roll. “I thought for sure you’d be out much later than this.”

I smile and place my handbag on the table.

“I would’ve been, but Logan’s brother had a bit too much to drink, which cut our evening short.”

“No booty-call then?”

“Daniel!” I shout, while throwing my shoe in his direction. He’s barely able to duck out of the line of fire, and I smile because I’m just in a good mood. “It was never going to be a booty-call. You’re an ass.”

“Maybe, you didn’t think so, but if he’s a typical male, you can bet he was hopeful.” He snorts, so I throw the other shoe at him. “So, I take it you had a good time?”

“Yes. It was very nice,” I say with a cheesy grin. “I’m probably going to go over again tomorrow.”

His eyebrows shoot up.

“Really. Is it an official visit, or are you helping him with his middle leg?”

“What has gotten into you? Is sex all you can think about?”

He cocks his head to the side and raises one eye brow as if to remind me that all men think this way.

“Hey, it’s not often I can tease my sister about her boyfriend—I’m assuming that’s the decision you’ve come to.”

“He’s not my boyfriend; he’s just a friend…who happened to kiss me again.” I turn to walk into my room, but Daniel wraps his hand around my arm, halting me mid-step.

“Oh, no you don’t. You’re not going to drop that bombshell and expect me not to react. What happened?” he says, as he guides me to the couch, insisting I sit. He stands before me with his arms crossed at his chest and sways a bit, making me aware he’s been drinking…again. “He kissed you again. Am I going to have to kick his ass?” I smile and bite my bottom lip in an attempt to reign in my excitement.

“No, relax. If you don’t want to know anymore, I won’t say another word.”

He rolls his eyes at my aloofness.

“I don’t particularly like hearing about my sister’s sexcapades, but it looks as though you’d like to talk about it. So, go ahead. If you say you’re just friends, what were the circumstances leading up to it?” He rolls his eyes again, clearly a little uncomfortable with the subject.

I think back to just a few hours ago and frown. Since Logan and I had our talk, I’d temporarily forgotten about how our second kiss happened, and that Bethany might have been the reason behind it.

“Um…” I look down at my dress, smoothing the skirt.

“You look sad. Was it a bad kiss?” His eyes close, and his face twists as though he’s only asking for my benefit.

“No, not at all. It’s just that it came after the two of us had a run in with his ex—who, incidentally, wants him back.”

He sits down.

“Oh. That doesn’t sound good. So, you don’t think his kiss was genuine? Like, maybe, he was doing it to show her he’s not interested in her anymore?”

“Exactly,” I say.
