Thighs spread.
Virginity.
I blink and blink. Gusts of wind whip my black hair.
Sheets.
Her long brunette hair.
Greenest green eyes.
Legs that never end.
I blink.
Her arched back.
Shallow breath.
Shit.
Shit.
Shit.
My stomach tosses in guilt. I shouldn’t see her that way. Not even if sheaskedme to take her virginity. Not even if the world was burning down.
She’s like my little sister.Ryke said it himself!
He told methat.He has constantly said:
“That’s your fucking sister, you know? Protect her.”
“You’re a big brother to her.”
“Thanks for being her big brother.”
Foryearsthat’s what I heard from her dad.
It’d be so screwed up if we did something…
I run a hand through my hair, kick away those thoughts, and survey the area. For a random motel stop, a surprising number of cars are parked here.
I just hope thevacancysign isn’t wrong.
When I enter the office services, I’m hit with an overpowering smell of lavender. Like someone lit the flower on fire and perfume-bombed the room. The scent burns my eyes as I approach the empty desk.
I tap a bell, and while I wait, my phone buzzes. Pulling out my cell, I check the text.
Let me know dates & times when she starts climbing. I’ll pack my equipment & bring Jesse out with me.– Jack
Sulli’s cousins might not be here, but Jack Highland-Oliveira is scheduled to arrive at some point—looks like his teenage brother Jesse Highland will be joining.
Jack—I didn’t really trust at first. He’s justtoo likable.And he has so many secrets about the families that he could spill. It always put me on edge. Being cautious is a bodyguard’s job.
But somehow, some way, we became friends. Shit, we’ve even gone on double-dates with girls he’s introduced me to. He has an endless supply of acquaintances, contacts, whoever that always show up when we’re out together, even if it’s to grab coffee on a quick pass to sayhello.
I’m not even the one who invited Jack here. Sulli agreed for her free-solo climbs to be filmed forWe Are Calloway, and he’s in charge of her segments for the docuseries.
