Excerpt
from Kaleidoscope Hearts by Claire Contreras.
What’s
wrong?” I asked as she wiped her tears and shook her head. Her face
was no longer wet, save for the dip over the top of her lips. I’d
never noticed how full they were before then. I’d never noticed how
rosy and defined her cheekbones were, or the way her eyebrows turned
into a slight frown when she looked at me. I’d never paid attention
to how ridiculously alluring her eyes were. The different shades made
them look like the marbles I used to collect when I was a kid. My
gaze drifted down to her neck, where I noticed her swallow, and then
over her tits, which were now full, not like the last time I’d seen
her in a bathing suit when she was still flat chested. Jesus Christ,
this girl was hot.
The
clearing of her throat made my eyes snap back to hers, putting an end
to their voyeuristic journey down her now grown up body.
“You’re
so grown up,” I said before I could stop myself and cringed at the
voice I said it in, all needy and husky and fuck my life, desperate.
I expected her to roll her eyes, the way she normally did when I said
anything to her, but this girl, this freaking girl looked at me and
smiled the sexiest smile I’d ever seen. And I had just been at a
party full of hot girls smiling, but Elle’s was slow and sensual
when she wasn’t trying to make it be. It was just her smile, the
one I’d been seeing for as long as I could remember. Putting that
smile on this grown up version of her should be down right illegal.
“Are
you hitting on me?” she asked, with a sultriness in her voice that
surprised the hell out of me.
“That
depends,” I said, inching to sit closer to her, somehow completely
forgetting that I was in my best friend’s house and this was his
little sister. The thought of Vic finding us crossed my mind, but I
pushed it down. In that moment, under a sky full of stars with a sad
Estelle, all I could think about was making her smile.
“What
does it depend on?” she whispered.
“Whether
or not it’s working,” I whispered back, lifting my hand and
running it down her back, a motion I shouldn’t have done because
now I knew Elle wasn’t wearing a bra under the oversized sweater
she had on and that knowledge woke up everything in my lower region.

Blurb
He
was my older brother's best friend.
He
was never supposed to be mine.
I
thought we would get it out of our system and move on.
One
of us did.
One
of us left.
Now
he’s back, looking at me like he wants to devour me. And all those
feelings I’d turned into anger are brewing into something else,
something that terrifies me.
He
broke my heart last time.
This
time he'll obliterate it.
This
is a standalone.
