My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 39

Bailey's pov

I know my words had stunned him and hurt him at the same time as his grip around my waist loosen.

My heart hurt.

His eyes had a glimmer of sadness that he tried to veil away from me, but I had already seen it. It made a lump in my throat grow.

"Why?" His voice is back hoarse.

I looked away as I murmur. " You don't settle down and the only time you did was because of her. Now she's back."

He gripped my waist and now it feels like he was trying to make sure I didn't move away from him. " Is this about her? Last night? Bailey nothing happened."

I brought my gaze back to his and searched his eyes. There was honesty in his words but how do you trust a player? A guy who nows how to lie perfectly?

" Then why did you stay?"

He shook his head, leaning back so he can have a better view of me. I squirm on his lap. He pinched my waist playfully.

" Maybe if you had answered my calls you would've known." He teased lightly, now finding it amusing.

My jaw ticked and his eyes gleamed. "You're cute when you're jealous flower."

I crossed my arms, scowling at him. " I am not jealous. I could care less about who you spend time with and who's the next in your bed."

He hummed, licking his lips and using his hands to pull me closer. I gasp, not expecting the sudden movement and had my hand on his chest to steady myself.

His hand is on my waist, his pinky tickling under the end of my shirt. " The only girl I'd have in my bed is you, so you don't have to be jealous flower. No one else but you."

His words made my heart skip a beat and I shake off the feeling. Scowling, I tried to move off him but he refused to budge. " Let me go." I uttered, my eyes drifting away from his.

" I can't do that. Not when I feel this way for the first time in my life." He whispered faintly. his words made me draw my attention back to him and I'm shocked to see the truth swirling in his eyes.

Damn him. He's making this hard.

" I can't stop thinking about you Bailey. You're the first thought that rages in my mind as soon as I wake up and the last before I fall asleep. It's like I breathe you every second of the day. I have a thirst I never knew was possible flower. " He whispered, his eyes staring deeply into mine. " A thirst for you."

Don't trust his words Bailey, he'd only lead you into the dungeon of heartbreak. Even with the warning in my head, the alarms were not strong enough to pull me out of this stupid fantasy of Kaleb and me.

" What about last night? With her?" I whispered, tempted to move my eyes away from his.

His lips tug, his eyes shifting in a knowing look. He knew I had undoubtedly admitted I was jealous. But he surprised me when he didn't tease about it but returned to being honest.
