Chapter 44
Lacy’s POV
But if he didn’t love me, I couldn’t make him love me. So I did the only thing that made sense. I turned and walked away.
Kol stopped me again, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me
closer to him.
Our faces were mere inches apart, our breaths mixed and our eyes bored into each other. Kol’s emotions were exposed to me in this position, his eyes held raw longing amidst other raging
emotions.
Kol was in despair, probably from distancing himself from me for so long just like I was. His eyes were also pleading, showing that nobody but himself forced him to apologize to me. And
most importantly, his desire for control was battling hard with
his longing.
I realized that we would never really put what happened
between us in the past.
We could never do that.
That was why he was here now, grabbing my wrist and staring
Chapter 44
at me like he was trying to see right through me.
Kol didn’t really have all the power.
I didn’t recognize my own voice when I spoke. It was clear and
commanding.
“Send Emily home” I tested authority.
I knew I was treading thin ice, but I had to know if I also had
control over him. My jaw almost dropped on hearing his
response.
“Okay”
Kol released my wrist and gave me a look before turning
towards the pool area without hesitation.I straightened my
posture and followed him, a new feeling of power coursing through my veins.
Kol’s POV
I arrived at the pool with Lacy right behind me. Emily sat up
smiling at me, I saw her glance at Lacy with a subtle sneer.
“Come with me” she stood up excitedly. I grabbed her bag and
practically pulled her out of the house.
“Where are we going?” She asked in confusion as we
Chapter 44
approached the gate.
“We’re going to clean up, you should leave”
Emily’s smile froze on her face and slowly disappeared on hearing my statement.
“I have called the cab, it will arrive soon” I added ignoring her
surprised expression.
“Now?”
“Yeah, sorry,” I tried to give her a sympathetic smile as I picked up my phone and open the Uber app. “My dad’s on his way
over.”
I flirted with her all night last night, then dropped her off,
suddenly announced that I was going to bed, and now I was
dropping her off again because she came over in a sexy bathing
suit, obviously hoping that the lost affection between us last
night will be rekindled today.
I didn’t dislike her presence, in fact, I enjoyed it. She was one of
those I used to distract myself from thinking about Lacy. Her
presence was more effective but could never be compared to Lacy’s, especially in bed.
I have become so addicted to Lacy that I don’t find myself
attracted to other ladies as much as I used to. It was more
Chapter 44
frustrating trying to ignore her presence since she came back
from school.
The longing became intense when I found out she was fucking Jim last night while I was having a sleepless night. I was jealous
of Jim and wanted to take my place back in Lacy’s heart but our
siblings‘ relationship was holding me back.
I typed in Emily’s address and placed the order, putting down my
phone with a smile on my face. “Let me walk you out.”
Emily followed me through the house without saying anything. While waiting for her car, I tried to talk to her, but her answer
was brief. She was angry, but fair enough. When the car arrived,
I tried to kiss her on the cheek, but she dodged.

“Do you want a beer?” I offered her a can of beer after I got back
to the pool deck.
“Fine” Lacy sat on the recliner still in her pajama shorts and
shirt. She was looking sexy as hell even in such reserved.
clothing which left me with the imagination of how she had
nothing beneath the shirt and shorts.
I cautioned my straying thoughts not to make the same mistake
as last summer again. Having sex with Lacy was not good for
Chapter 44
either of us. I have decided not to do anything sexual with Lacy again but her presence alone was weakening my resolution and
willpower.
I opened the can to take a big gulp, my eyes refused to look
away from her profile. The fact that Lacy was my first crush
ever, I remembered liking her even before our parents got
married.
Her adorable little face always ignited my protective side back
then. After we became stepsiblings, I knew there was no
possibility between us, I could only see her as my little sister.
“Get Lacy a beer,” I asked Jim who was standing by the bar.
“Okay” Jim pulled out three bottles of beer and opened them
all.
