“No!” The word is quick and loud, and it makes me smile against her neck. “What’s happening?” Her voice sounds disoriented, and I wonder if she’s feeling the same rush I am. Her legs wrap around my waist, and I grind against her, my mouth moving lower. “Let me keep you,” I whisper against her lips as I pick her up and then press her against the nearest wall. There’s nothing I’ve tasted that’s sweeter than the woman I love, and I’ll be damned if I ever let her go. She’s soft and warm as I hold her close, and when she opens her mouth, I sweep my tongue inside. When my mouth comes down on hers, there’s a moment of shock, followed instantly by her melting in my arms. “I planned to do this differently, but fuck it. I nod, closing the distance between us and pulling her against me. “There’s only one woman I want, and it’s you.” Every time I take a step toward her, she takes a step back. “My sister?” Her eyes widen, and then her mouth makes the perfect little O. “But what about the woman I saw you with?” “I told you I was going to kiss you.” I walk in without her inviting me and kick the door closed. Damn my carefully laid plans, because this wasn’t anywhere on the list of ways to make Star fall in love with me.Īfter a long, agonizing moment she finally opens the door and looks at me with surprise. I climb the stairs two at a time, and I don't hesitate when I knock on her door. By the time I’m a block away, I’m practically running. He must have given her a ride home, and thankfully it’s not too far.ĭeciding it will be faster to just walk rather than contend with traffic, I make my way to her place. When I walk outside the community center, I don’t see Kenny anywhere.

I wanted to introduce Star, but somehow she took off without me knowing.Īfter I check in with the staff and find out none of them have seen her lately, I let Astrid know to distribute the tree boxes for the kids to take home. Now she’s home for the holidays and staying until after the new year. She came back earlier this year, and I was able to give her a job at my company.

Astrid and I were foster siblings, and after she turned eighteen, she went out west to go to school. By the time I finish saying hello to my sister, I can’t find Star anywhere.
