Brax walked over to me, placing his large hands on my hips.
I looked up to meet his gaze.
"Whatever this is?" he repeated as a question.
"Yes," I replied fighting to not get lost in his gorgeous eyes that looked darker than they had moments before. "This," I whispered, going on my tiptoes to kiss him. His lips met mine halfway, colliding with one another.
We kissed nice and slow, both of us smiling when we pulled away to stare into one another's eyes.
"I like this," Brax admitted.
I giggled.
"Me too.”
We kissed again, my arms wrapping around his waist and pulling him close.
We stepped back when we heard a clicking noise, turning our heads to see Kage with his camera.
"I'll save that for the 'Year One at Brighten Magic Academy' album," he vowed, casually walking back to the kitchen like he didn't see us making out.
Brax glanced at me and I gave him a curious look.
"Not gonna randomly chase after your brother and force him to delete it?"
He laughed.
"Why would I? I want ten copies of that picture and have a shirt made that says 'I'm Third' on it with the picture below it as evidence."
"What?! No shirts," I whined as his hand slid into mine.
"Lots of shirts. We'll each get one with our number on the back like a football team. At least then we can knock out anyone who thinks they can steal ya." He gave me a wink and pulled me forward to go to the kitchen.
"As long as I get one of each," I mumbled, my face flushed with his direct approach.
"Of course, Precious. One shirt for each of us," Brax confirmed with a grin.
I smiled, but the tiny spot in my heart wished Zane was also here to enjoy this.
Maybe he didn't want this after all…
DANCE AND FLICKER OF HOPE
"Ican't believe we're attending this right now."
I took one last look in the mirror before glancing back at Logan who had just finished ironing his shirt.
He turned back to give me a playful grin, but his eyes were busy appreciating my female form in a whole new set of clothes: a bright red bodysuit top that had thin spaghetti straps. It tied in the front under my breasts in a knotted twist and gold rhinestones decorated the trim.
I wore black jean shorts that were embroidered with rose patterns on the front pockets and a mixture of red, gold and turquoise studded jewels on the butt pockets.
I made sure my shorts would ensure the safety of my ass, not wanting to pull a Katherina at this party .
My black jean jacket was short sleeved with a gold zipper in the front and little pockets perfect for holding my red matte liquid lipstick. My hair was loose and I was going to complete the outfit with red heels that I could dance in for hours without breaking my ankle.
"You look hot." He walked over to me. I bit my lip, my eyes more focused on his six-pack than anything else.Shit, Logan's been working out .
Logan laughed when he reached me, pulling me into his arms.
