Keegan POV

A kitten! Caden had given Alice a freakin’ kitten!

How was I to compete with that?

With a groan, I shifted in my bed angry with how things were turning out.

Seriously, how was I supposed to compete with it? Was I supposed to buy her a necklace or a bracelet or sometnhin’? She probably wouldn’t accept them even if I did.

And yet she accepted his gift.

I guess the temptation Caden presented her with was too great. A kitten. Caden, you sneaky bastard!

Groaning, I got off the bed and headed for the kitchen. I took a ham sandwich out of the fridge, slamming the door shut.

"Tc-tc! Is my baby brother upset?" An amused voice sounded from behind me.

"Morgan?" I turned around and saw my sister leaning on the kitchen’s door. "Shouldn’t you be at the University?"

"I decided to take a little break." She shrugged nonchalantly. "It’s not like it is going to affect my grades; after all I’m good at everything."

"I’ve always admired your modesty, sis!" I sneered, taking a seat.

"So…" she sat opposite me. "What got you so pissed off?"

"Alice."

"A girl?" She laughed. "Since when do you have problems with girls?"

"Since I met this one."

"Too clingy?"

"Not clingy enough!" She raised one reddish-blond eyebrow at me in question and I sighed. "I’ve wanted to fuck her since the day I met her but she’s not interested."

"A girl actually said no to you?" She looked really surprised.

"She didn’t fall for any of my tricks."

"Well, well! You got me curious. I want to meet her."

"You’ll get your chance; Caden drags her along pretty much everywhere we go."

"Caden? What does the little slut have to do with him?" My sister hissed.

Judging by the sudden mood swing I’d say Morgan was still crushing over the boy. Like me she wasn’t used to hearing “no” for an answer yet Caden had always pushed her away. I suspected it had something to do with the two of us being friends. Or maybe it was because of… No, it couldn’t be that!

"Not sure how or when, but she managed to impress him. He’s been hanging with her ever since she moved to town. She told me she doesn’t want to date him and he says he’s not into her but…"

"But what?" She asked hastily.

"He’s different when he’s with her. He’s calmer and nicer…"

"Caden? Nice?" She looked skeptically at me.

"Yeah… He’s still not winning a Nobel Peace Prize, but he’s changed."

I saw her chewing her lip nervously. I knew Morgan well and I realized she was planning something. I could tell by the crease that formed on her forehead.

"Does he know you want this…?"

"Alice." I helpfully added. "And no, no one but you does. I was flirting with her the first week but to no avail. Then I thought I'd just pretend to be her friend and get closer to her…"

"And how did that work out?"

"Don’t ask!"

"What? Did you actually fall for her?" She snorted.

I turned my head away. I didn’t want to admit that. But somehow I couldn’t deny it in front of my big sister.

"Oh. My. God!" Morgan’s eyes grew wide. "You did, didn’t you?"

Morgan POV

I knew my eyes must have looked twice their usual size but I was truly surprised by what my baby brother was telling me.

This girl… This Alice… She managed not only to make Keegan fall for her but also possibly Caden. I was not pleased with the later.

Who was she anyway? What did she look like?

She must be like a supermodel if she picked the interest of both boys.

"So, what’s your next move?" I asked the boy that was seated opposite me.

"Don’t know… But one thing’s for sure: I gotta gradually make Alice fall for me. If I go too fast, she’s just going to push me away. But there’s my problem: I don’t know how much time I’ve got. She hangs out mostly with Caden and I don’t know what his next move will be."

"I thought you said he wasn’t making a move on her?" I tried to keep my voice even and my face emotionless while I was fantasizing about strangling a certain girl named Alice. I didn’t know what she looked like, but that didn’t stop me from imagining my hands wrapping around her throat and squeezing it.

"He says he’s not, but they sure spend a lot of time together." He laughed bitterly. "He even got her a freakin’ kitten!"

"Did she have a birthday or something?"

"Nope. He just felt like getting her one."

He just felt like it, huh? Damn it! I didn’t like how close they seemed to be. I had to do something!

"Don’t worry, little bro! I’ll help you out."

"Really?" He narrowed his eyes. "What’s in it for you?"

I gasped and placed a hand on my chest, faking hurt.

"Believe it or not, Keegan, I love you and I want to help you."

"You’re worried about Caden falling for Alice, aren’t you?"

I sighed. No wonder he wasn’t buying my act; he knew me too well!

"That too." I admitted. "So here’s what we’ll do: I’ll be around for a couple of weeks. During that time you speed things up with Alice. I’ll keep Caden busy as often as possible so you can spend more time on your own with the girl. Be aggressive; be romantic; be whatever it takes. Talk about her all the time you’re together…"

"She doesn’t like that," he cut me off.

"What are you saying?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "Every girl likes that."

"Not Alice," he shook his head.

"What does she like then?"

"Animals. The girl wants to be a vet."

"Fine, then speak about that! Ask how her kitten is doing. Pretend you’re interested in that whole crap."

"And how are you going to keep Caden busy?"

"Oh, just leave that to me, baby brother!" I smirked. "I know how to keep a guy busy!"

Keegan POV

As soon as I got home from school on Tuesday Morgan asked:

"How did it go?"

"How did what go?" I purposefully tried not to look at her.

"You know damn well! And if you’re avoiding my question then I’m guessing you made no progress with the girl."

I didn’t respond. I knew she was right and I knew she knew she was right. I heard her sigh.

"Couldn’t you get her alone?"

"No. Caden’s pretty much always around her and so is Asher."

"Is she a good student?" My sister’s sudden question surprised me.

"Yeah…"

"Then invite her over. Tell her you need help with your homework or something. That way you’ll get her alone."

"And where will you be?"

"I’ll be here to meet her. I want to see what she’s like. Then something will come up and I’ll leave you two on your own."

"Sounds like a plan. I’ll ask her tomorrow."

I was lying in my bed, thinking about the amazing day I had.

It started just like any other school day with me hanging with the guys and Alice.

Alice… She looked so hot today coming to school with those short green jeans and a sassy pink strapless top that clung perfectly to her body. The best thing about it was the low-cut neckline that displayed a lot a cleavage. Did I mention she wasn’t wearing a bra?

All the guys at school were staring at her, checking her out, but she paid no attention to any of them… Not even Caden. It was as if she had eyes only for me. So I wasn’t surprised that when I asked her to come to my place “to help me with my homework”, she accepted the invitation with obvious delight.

And here she was now. Lying on her back next to me in bed, still out of breath, after the most mind-blowing sex either of us had ever had.

I turned to my left to face her and stroked her bare stomach then trailed my hand upwards and cupped her breast, gently massaging it. In response, Alice closed her eyes and moaned softly from the pleasure I was giving her.

"Keegan!" She breathed and opened her eyes, sending me an intense, lust-filed look.

"Yes, baby?" I asked, moving on top of her and kissed her neck, earning me another moan from the little brunette I’ve been craving for so long.

"I was thinking…" she started and I looked at her face. She was biting her lower lip with a seductive glint in her green eyes.

"I was thinking…" she repeated and placed her hands on my shoulders. She moved them down slowly taunting me.

"I’m all ears, baby," I replied huskily. My body instantly responded to her touch as her hands moved to my abs.

"There’s this girl at school…" she kept on explaining, now caressing my inner thighs, making me close my eyes and momentarily loose my focus. She regained my full attention as soon as she stopped stroking me and uttered:

"I really like her… And I want her!"

My eyes snapped open and I stared at her with my mouth gapping wide.

"You… You want to do it with a girl?" I questioned with my voice full of nervous anticipation.

She nodded and bit her lip again.

"Yes," she muttered quietly. "I’ve never done it with a girl before but she just looks so good! And I think you’ll like her too. So I was thinking… Maybe we could share her?"

"Share her?" I repeated with a huge smile blooming on my face just as a familiar melody started playing. "Oh, baby, you just keep getting better and better!"

I crashed my lips on hers and she eagerly responded. I spread her legs and moved between them. God, it felt so good! If only this annoying music would stop playing! Where was it coming from anyway?

I tried to ignore it as Alice started moaning and repeating my name.

"Keegan! Oh, Keegan!"

Her voice was getting louder and louder with each thrust I made. God, I could listen to her doing that all fucking night!

"Keegan!" A stern and irritated tone that didn’t belong to Alice called just as the melody had stopped playing. "KEEGAN!"

I sat straight in my bed and opened my eyes only to be greeted by Morgan’s angry frown. I looked around my room: it was morning and there was no sign of the brunette that had been rhythmically moving beneath me just moments ago.

"Where’s Alice?" I asked, surveying the room once more, half-expecting her to just pop out of thin air.

"Probably at home and getting ready for school… Something you should be doing as well!" She explained and headed towards the door before grumpily adding:

"And lower the volume on your alarm; I can hear it in my room and it woke me up!"

My sister strutted out, slamming the door behind her.

I fell back in my bed and covered my face with my hands, sighing heavily.

So it had all been a dream, huh? The way she looked, the way she acted, the way I felt her body… None of that had actually happened. I grunted. I was getting obsessed with her during the day and now she even haunted me in my dreams.

I really had to do something about that. And maybe today was the day I’d make my dream come true.
