Chapter 21Â
Bailey’s powÂ
Push him away BaileyiÂ
Of course my bain, the sane part of me told me to push Kaleb away, but my heart and my body clearly didn’t get the memoÂ
Instead I melt into him and my lips followed his movements with just as much fever and craving. His tongue swept over my lower, his man breathing into my mouth as I parted them.Â
I shivered as his tongue swept over mine, slowly at first but he began to kiss me with so much need that my knees began to buckÂ
If he didn’t hold me so tightly I’d surely fall to my knees there and then.Â
But he held me, he kissed me and he showed me how much he wanted me,Â
And that’s when i knew we had to stop. It didn’t stop now, things would get worse.Â
| bit Kaleb’s tongue, he hisses, pulling away. His hand go to his mouth as he gave me that ‘what the fuck is wrong with your look.Â
Iscowled. fighting the feelings had seem to awaken inside me. Damn him.Â
“How dare you just kiss me! I told you it wasn’t me last night!” snapped, feeling frustrated that he wouldn’t let this goÂ
Normally he didn’t care about the girls he slept with. Hell, they’d wail to him, some get on their knees, he ignored them all.Â
Why the hell could he not let this go!?Â
Kaleb eyes narrowed but I didn’t give him a chance to pull me under his spell again. No, I hiss out. “What makes you think I’d ever sleep with a guy like you! I barely want to look at you, far less make you touch me. I’m not the one you slept with last night.”Â
I could see that my words had hurt him so badly. For the first time, Kaleb looks wrenched. He looks born.Â
He breaks his stare and looked away. He’s silent for a few, before he nod. “Okay. I guess I was wrong.” His voice is faint, soft. He doesn’t sound like Kaleb,Â
He steps away from me, his hands clutching the top of his towel. “I won’t keep you then Bailey” He nudged his head to the door. “You are free to walkÂ
out.”Â
I sighed, biting my tongue to stop the apology that wanted to come out. I hate, hell I despise to see him so hurt, I’ve never seen him this way and it pained me tooÂ

But I knew that if I did apologize for my words, I’d only make things worse. It was better for him to hate me so he would stop pursuing me to admit it was me last night.Â
Last night can’t happen again.Â
*Don’t worry, no one will find out what happened just now.” Kaleb grumble, glaring at the door.Â
I didn’t respond, I bit my lip and turned around to open the door. But when I do, Kaleb’s voice behind me stopped me dead inÂ
“But just so you know, I won’t stop until I find out who was in my bed last night. And trust that I will find her sooner or later.”Â
tracks.Â
Closing my eyes tightly, I breathed in sharply through myÂ
my nose bÂ
before exhaling it out slowly through my mouth.Â
He’ll not stop.Â
And that’s what I was afraid of Because I knew deep down, I was screwed And why? Because I didn’t think I would be able to stop craving him.Â
I shook myÂ
head and walked out. Heading for my next class can’t help but think about his words.Â
How will he go about this?Â
As the day went on, thoughts of Kaleb and me last night in his bed flashed in my mind throughout my classes. Not one didiÂ
I was so frustrated that i had to be excused.Â
A text came from Mira while I sat on the toilet dÂ
Mira: Are you okay? You didn’t look too well when you walked out.Â
I pushed out a shaky breath and my trembling fingers lift to wipe away my tears..Â
I texted her backÂ
Bailey: It’s nothing. Just think mother nature is about to slap me in the face.Â
Mira tested again to ask if i was sure i was fine, I reassured her I wasÂ
But I knew I wasn’t. What transpired between Kaleb and metast night changed my entire life. It was like I was now walking on eghells around theÂ
twins.Â
Who would’ve thought one night, one touch, one kiss and one connection would change my life in this way.Â
I groaned, tapping my forehead with my palm in frustrationÂ
After the last bell rang, I knew it was time to get out. I ripped out the tissue and patted under my eyes. When done I got up off the lid, opened it and dumped the tissues in the bowl. I watch the swirl of the water as I flushed it down the toilet.Â
It felt like I was flushing away some of my guilt.Â
I got out of the bathroom and washed my face. The door opens and it’s Ma. In her hand is my bag.Â
“Here” She smiled passing it over to me. I nod gratefully.Â
Her brows pinched as she studied my face. “Have you been crying?” Worry made her voice turn an awful high pitch.Â
Why does she always have to be observant just like her brother!?Â
“I wasn’t. My Lashes got in my eye.” Ilied, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand.Â
She raised a brow, not buying it. “Both eyes?”Â
inod, looking at the door, “I bet my dad is here already waiting for meÂ
I said to excuse myself and of course run away. But Mira gripped arm to stop me from escaping.Â
She looked at me with deep concern, her lips lined into a frown.Â
“You’ve been acting strange since morning. What Happened after you left to go upstairs Balls? Did a guy force youÂ
I shook my head. “God no Mira. Nothing happened.”Â
Well except for sleeping with your brother and breaking the pack we made to lose our virginity together.Â
“You’d tell me if any guy did right?” She asked softly, looking into my eyes to sort for the answers my mouth would not let slip.Â
“I promise no guy did anything to me last night,” I said with a small smile to reassure her.Â
Chapter 21Â
She took a minute but she finally let it go with a sigh. “if there is anything let me know girl. I got your back, you know thatÂ
Innd. I know she did. Which is why I feel even more shitty that I broke not one but two rufes in our fiendshÂ
No sleeping with her brother.Â
We must lose our virginity at the same time.Â
These seem to be easy rules I should’ve been able to follow. But one touch from Kaleb made me break them in a second.Â
