Chapter 37
9 years ago – Killian
I heard her climb through her window. She thought she was being sneaky but Lottie had a lot to learn before she even came close to my level of sneaking out the house.
Glancing at the flashing red clock on my nightstand I frowned. It was gone twelve. Her curfew was at ten.
But recently she had been pushing her boundaries more and more. With a sign I headed towards the window. Just in time to see a car speed away.
Asshole.
Of course she had been with him. The whole school was buzzing with the gossip that she was going with Kaden Smith. And I hated that. He didn’t deserve her, none of the assholes in our school did. Lottie would realise that soon but not soon enough because her reputation was being trashed.
It had been since the night she had snuck into my room and I had kissed her. It had fucking meant something to me even if I had stayed away from her ever since but it clearly hadn’t meant fuck all to her because here she was, sneaking out of a boys car and into her room in the middle of the night.
My sweatpants hung low on my hips and my feet bare, I swung myself from my window ledge to hers, I slipped inside.
“What do you want, Killian?” Lottie didn’t move. I took her in, the too short dress barely covered her and I tore my eyes away.
“You’re late coming in.” Even to my own ears, it sounded lame. Like I was an overprotective big brother.
I was her big- brother- kind of anyway.
The thoughts I had about her weren’t brotherly though. They were too jealous/for that.
“What are you, my dad?” She whirled around.
“Jesus.” I ruffled my hair with my hand. Her make up was smudged. Pink lipstick smeared and her mascara had run.
“What the fuck happened to you Lottie?” I took a step forward and froze when she stepped away. Holding her hands up. Either Kaden had got lucky, or he had tried to get lucky and things had got – violent.
I didn’t know which scenario would be best.
“It’s nothing.” Reaching for a tissue, she wiped the lipstick from her face. “Just leave.”

Her voice shook, and then broke completely.
This time when I stepped towards her, I didn’t hesitate and she didn’t flinch when I pulled her into my arms. “Tell me what happened?” I rested any chip on the top of her sweet smelling hair. “Did he hurt you?”
My voice shook when I asked her that. If he had hurt her, I would kill him. I didn’t care if he was the most popular boy in school. Or if he was a jock. It he had hurt her be was dead.
Lottie sighed, looping her arms around my waist. “No. He just tried to do more than kissing and-”

Chapter 37
grupied under my breath: Even hearing about her kissing anyone but me was enough to make me want to punch something. And the fact he had tried
mpre
Fuck I was going to kill him.
“If he forced you-”
She tilted her head up. “He didn’t.”
For a second she tightened her arms around me, like she was trying to comfort me instead of the other way around
“I just mean if he has-*

“I ended things with him.” She whispered. *I thought I could pretend that I wanted to be with him, but when he kissed me I felt nothing. I don’t want to be with Kade.” She took a rattling breath. “I don’t want to be with any of the boys in school.” Slowly she lifted her eyes to me. “I want to be with the boy ! can’t have. The one I’ve had a crush on since he first came into my life. The boy I had my first kiss with.”
My eyes glued themselves to her lips. Lips that just a few hours ago another boy had been tasting. A fresh wave of jealousy flowed through me and Lottie must have sensed it because she reached up on her tiptoes.
Her lips skimmed mine. “I want to be with you Killian.”
“We can’t-” but even as I said the words, my mouth was sliding over hers. “Lottie it’s wrong.” Finally I dragged her away from me. “We live in the same
house and-”
“We aren’t related Killian.” She snapped. “I know you like me. I see the way you watch me. And I can’t imagine being with anyone else. Not ever. I think-” she swallowed hard. “I think I am falling in love with you.” She finished with her eyes closed.
“I have been in love with you.” I whispered before I could stop myself. It was weird because the words just came rushing out. “Since the night I arrived here and you came to introduce yourself.”
