I didn’t see his kiss coming.I was closing my eyes, imagining that it was Liam lying beside me, when I felt Noah climbing to his feet.
Except he wasn’t.
Instead, he was leaning over me and surprised the hell out of me by kissing me.
I froze.
A flashback of having Frank Bonito on top of me struck, and I couldn’t move.Liam doesn’t have that effect on me.But the moment Noah made a move, my body tensed up.
Next minute, Noah goes flying across the sand.
I was having such an amazing night.Savannah said she might know of an acting role coming up and invited me to have lunch with her on Monday.That, and a couple of girls who worked on her last movie were looking for a roommate.
It felt like the world was opening up for me.
Liam and I are finally together and just need to work out how we tell Jay and my family.That tonight was our secret.
That I might have an acting role if Savannah can help.Sometimes it's about who you know, and she is certainly an influential person right now.
I could even move out while Liam and I date for a while.To let Jay adjust.
I was so happy.
When he pulled me up to dance, I knew it would be a bad idea.I was aching for him to touch me and could feel the same need from him.His friends were already asking questions and watching us, so when Noah and Cane waved me over, I went.
Liam has never been a jealous guy.
Trust me, I’ve watched every nuance about the man my entire life.
I can’t believe he got physical with Noah like that.Sure, he’s been protective over the years, but not to that extent.He looked wild and full of rage.
As I grabbed my things, Scarlett was checking the babies, who were all asleep in a separate small marquee.She took in the situation and asked what happened.
“He’s being protective.”I waved it off.
She glanced down the beach and back at me.“Because we aren’t friends yet, I’m going to let these little lies go.But here’s some advice from someone who has just watched a friend go through this with her brother.Tell him.”
I swallowed.
“Tell your brother before he finds out and you damage your relationship.”Scarlett zipped up her sweatshirt.“Deceit is the hardest thing to forgive.”
There was no point lying to her.She was like a psychic or something.I simply nodded and took off back down the beach with my things.
“Are you going to talk to me?”I ask Liam as we pull into the driveway.
“Get inside.”Liam growls.
Letting out a sigh, I climb out of the Jeep and follow him down the footpath.When the front door closes behind us, he swirls around and pushes me hard up against the wall.
“You fucking kissed him!”Liam roars, his palms either side of my head.
“I didn’t kiss him.”
“I saw you Jessie.His mouth on your mouth, and you didn’t push him away.”Fury and fire whirl inside those gray eyes, making me catch my breath.
If I didn’t know this man as well as I do, I might be scared, but I’m not.He would never hurt me.
Still, I’m taken aback by the viciousness of his anger.
