The kiss lasts longer than I care to admit. When Nova pulls back and winks at Vivian I grind my teeth. The little minx turns to me and her eyes implore me to go along with this so I do. When she yanks my shirt, I bend down so she can mesh her lips to mine but unlike my sister, I wrap my arms around her and pull her flush against me. I attempt to deepen the kiss so the witch knows she belongs to me, but she pulls back and whirls around to face the three bitches who all look like they swallowed a lemon.

“Yeah, so I think you’re gonna have to rethink the pedestal you put Vox on because I can say with a thousand percent certainty that Vivian is the better kisser and speaking from firsthand knowledge, she has a way better rack than her brother.” Nicole turns beat red while Brandi and Pamela look like they want to run because they know for a fact they lost this round.

“You think because he fucked you that your special? Newsflash, bitch, he’s fucked half the school and so have they!” Nicole screams trying to salvage some of her dignity. I show no emotion on my face, hoping that Nova doesn’t back down or this bitch will never let her forget it.

“Yeah probably, but the difference between me and you, Nicky.” Nova steps into Nicole and you can feel the bad bitch energy wafting off her in waves. “I didn’t spread my legs for all of them, onlyhim. I didn’t let him into my bed because I wanted to bag the school's king and the star QB, I let him inside me because I wantedhim,not the title.” Nicole's face is a picture of rage and I know for a fact that she won’t let this go, she’sa spiteful bitch. Nova spins around and her long hair smacks Nicole across the face. I expect her to come to me but she veers off and grabs my sister’s hand leading them across the lot to Vivian’s car.

The guys and I all jump into my car and peel out of the lot, following the girls. The three of them are shouting and laughing and I can’t stop myself from smiling.

“Dude, that was fucking hot!” Hayze roars out, then laughs.

“Nova handed Nicole her ass without even trying and did you see Vivi’s face?” Archer asks, I shake my head and meet his stare in the rearview mirror.

“Dude, she said none of us could defend her but watching Nova choose her and tell them she was better than you had this spark shining in her eyes,” Ez says, his descriptive answer has me pursing my lips in distaste.

“Oh, shit. Nova legit just made out with the twins and is the first person in all of Hollow Hills to do that,” Hayze says with sarcasm thick in his tone.

“She just hit legend status,” Archer tacks on.

“Why the fuck would she be a legend?” I grit out.

“Because, no one has ever been able to kiss the both of you, dumbass. Name one person who has done that shit?” I clamp my mouth closed which just causes Hayze to laugh, the dumbass may be right.

“I think I might have a crush,” Archer says jokingly but I snap.

“Try and touch Nova and I’ll break your fucking jaw.” All traces of laughter die out and the car falls silent at my declaration.

“You like her, don’t you?” Ez asks after a tense minute of silence. I tighten my hold on the steering wheel, refusing to answer. I can feel all of their gazes on me but I ignore them and crack my neck side to side, choosing not to answer the question.

“Dude, you skipped school two days in a row to hang out with her, you even kissed her at the bonfire in front of everyone,” Archer adds.

“You also made out with her in front of the team tonight and didn’t break any bones when she kissed your sister who has been off limits to everyone in this fucking town,” Hayze tacks on.

“Will all of you shut the fuck up and mind your business?” It’s a weak comeback and we all know it but the truth is, I don’t know how I feel about her because I’ve never felt anything like this before and it… unnerves me. The guys don’t push me for more, which I am grateful for because I don’t want to have to break any of their jaws tonight.

Rather than heading home, my sister heads for the diner. The guys don’t protest and neither do I. When I climb out of the car, Nova makes her way to me, telling everyone to go ahead and we’ll meet them inside shortly. I lean against my car and cross my arms over my chest as I peer down at her, she stands there nibbling her bottom lip looking nervous but I don’t try to ease her nerves.

“Look, I know I probably didn’t handle things back there how I should have?—”

“What gave it away?” I say in a hard tone that has her eyes narrowing and her resolve hardening.

“Vox, you can be pissed off and angry but I won’t allow those bitches to come for my friend, okay?” She doesn’t give me a chance to reply. “I like you, I really do but if you try to throw around your big dick energy and tell me I can't back my friend?—”

“It has nothing to do with you sticking up for Vivian,” I snap.

Her brows draw in. “Then why are you mad?”

I pin her with a blank stare. “Some guys get off on seeing their girl kissing another girl but I don’t.” Her brows hit her hairline and her mouth parts on a silent gasp. “You want to playmind games and go fuck around with chicks then go do that, but I won’t be here waiting. I shouldn’t even be here now.”

“Then why are you?” Her anger is clear in her tone but her body contradicts her when she steps into me and grips the front of my shirt.

“It seems I can’t seem to stay away and that choice will likely get us both killed.”

“I have no interest in your sister, Vox,” she mutters quietly.

“Then why kiss her?”

“Because… I don’t know. I guess I knew it would piss them off and stop them thinking that you are better than your sister. I hate that she is seen as beneath you. Vivian is fucking amazing and I honestly didn’t expect to care about her as much as I do but now that I do care, I can’t help but want to protect her.” Hearing the raw honesty in her voice floors me, I’ve never had a girl tell me that they would gladly dog me if it meant helping my sister. I grip her waist and pull her flush against me, relishing in the way her breathing changes and how her body softens at my touch.
