REESE

“Fuck,” Kody curses and takes off. He’s not quite running, but he’s not quite walking either. It’s a lopsided mixture of the two. The sound of his feet slamming against the sidewalk has me looking at him, but Kiara tugs on my hand and I turn to see her brother heading straight for us. He’s not in his uniform, but rather in heather gray sweatpants and an unzipped black hoodie, with no shirt under it. His hair is wet, like he’s just gotten out of the shower. He looks absolutely lethal, but in a different way than Vaughn King. Vaughn has this naturally evil embodiment, like he was born to wreak havoc on everyone who comes in his path. This guy looks unhinged, but there’s a hint of panic in his dark blue eyes that surprises me. Vaughn enjoys toying with people, and I get the sneaking suspicion that no one else on this earth ever crosses Camden’s mind except his sister. Camden’s gaze zeros in on my hand, that is still locked with Kiara’s. She must notice the way his brow furrows because she shakes her hand free from mine immediately. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry because clearly, we held hands, giving each other support during the confrontation with Kody, but I have a feeling that Camden doesn’t like anyone touching Kiara for any reason.

“He’s dead, just know that,” Camden practically growls, grabbing his sister by her elbow and yanking her into his body. She lets him, no fight or pushback at all, like she’s nothing more than his little rag doll he left in the toy box and is now upset that someone else touched it. “Why weren’t you back at the house after class?” He forces her to look at him by gently placing two fingers under her chin.

“Calm down,” Kiara says in a soothing tone, and I watch as his hand slides down the length of her arm. I’m invested, so curious about these two, that I’m blatantly staring, watching their little tiff unfold like it’s a forbidden movie. I think he’s going to hold her hand, but he doesn’t. He reaches her wrist and presses his fingers there before cupping his hand around the delicate slope. He’s loosely holding her right on her pulse point, two of his fingers moving gently over the place where he can probably feel the thump of her heartbeat. “He was pretty messed up. Did Vaughn do that?” Kiara asks and Camden scowls. It’s honestly like I’m not even here. Kiara sighs, stepping back from him slightly to reach down and hook the zipper of his hoodie in its holder and then tugging it upward to cover his naked chest and abdomen before admonishing her brother with a gentle voice. “I didn’t say his name, just answer me,” she says.

“Yes,” Camden clips out the word and then finally looks at me like he’s just now noticing that I’m here. He was in such a rage when he walked up.
