Chapter 368: 368/Nothing More Than a Sister

Chapter 368

Stella’s point of view

His cold blue eyes dropped to my hand resting on his thigh. His muscles instantly locked up in visible irritation. He casually but firmly brushed my hand away, his tone dripping with a formal, condescending chill. "Thanks, Stella. I missed you too."

I stubbornly pushed my body even closer to his, a desperate, burning hunger tearing through my insides. "I was literally counting down the days and months, waiting with absolute madness for the moment you’d finally come back."

"Well, I’m back now," he replied, his rock-hard detachment completely crushing my emotions. "And I’m standing right in front of you."

I dug my fingers right back into his thigh, squeezing with force as a hidden threat sharpened my voice. "I don’t ever want you to disappear on me again, Jake. Do you hear me?"

"I won’t," he delivered with finality.

I moved my face closer with absolute, blind audacity until my frame was completely pressed against his broad shoulder, absorbing his warmth. I whispered, my breath rattling unevenly right against his mouth and his fresh wound, "I’m crazy about you, Jake. I want you right now..."

The exact second I shifted my lips, lunging forward in a frantic attempt to force a kiss on him, he completely shattered my composure. He bolted to his feet with lightning velocity, his violent movement tearing him away from me and leaving a humiliating, gaping distance between us. His features distorted into a harsh, raging scowl. "Stella! I have already talked to you about this explicitly before, and I made my position crystal goddamn clear! Enough!"

I surged up right behind him, an explosive wave of emotion crashing through me as my eyes ignited with hot tears and a pitch-black resentment. "Why the hell do you reject me and push me away with this level of cruelty, coldness, and absolute humiliation every single time, for God’s sake?!"

He dragged his massive palm over the back of his neck, his chest heaving with deep annoyance and exhausted patience. "Because you are quite simply my best friend Mike’s little sister," he snapped back harshly. "Nothing and I mean absolutely no relationship of any kindوis ever going to happen between us under any circumstances. Respect that."

That same cursed, idiotic, and completely pathetic excuse again! Every single time I try to crawl closer to him, he throws that recycled garbage straight into my face to kick me out. Yet, just minutes ago, I saw him with my own two eyes kissing Julie with absolute madness, filth, and raw passion. Isn’t Julie the sister of Steve his other best friend?! Why the hell does the forbidden suddenly become completely fair game when it comes to her?!

I ground my teeth in pure hatred, a thick bitterness and mockery overflowing in my tone. "I swear to God I don’t understand you, Jake. Your mind completely boggles me. What the hell does my brother Mike have to do with this if I am the one who wants you with my own entire free will?!"

"Because it is completely wrong and disgraceful according to my principles," he answered with a freezing, infuriating calm. "And I am not changing that for you."
