Letting My Brother's Best Friend Take My V-Card

HAPTER 75

JESS

I blinked against the bright sunlight, disoriented.

It felt like I'd been pulled from a dream, a very hot and uncomfortable dream. One that had the side of my head pounding.

I tried to open my eyes again, but it felt like the sunlight stabbed my eyeballs. "What the hell happened?" I muttered, my voice barely a whisper as I wiped something off my face.

I tried to sit up, but a steady hand was there, guiding me back down. "Just give it a few seconds," the deep voice purred, and I obeyed it.

The stickiness on my fingers made me want to sit up again and try to figure out what it was.

"Is that? Blood," I mumbled and felt a little dizzy again. Blood and I are not the best of friends, especially when it's not inside my body where it belongs.

That same person who was kneeling next to me placed a palm on my cheek and turned my head, "Let me see Jessica." The mention of my name falling from his lips snapped me out of my stupor. I pulled back immediately out of his reach. I didn't need Luke acting like he c "Jessica. I'm just trying to see how bad it is. Would you relax?"

Luke said, irritated, trying to get me to hold still so that he could assess the damage. His face was inches from mine, and his eyes were locked on me. I think I forgot how to breathe for a second.

No matter how hard I tried to push down the irritation and anger I felt towards him, my body betrayed me. His touch felt electric against my skin, stirring something he had no business stirring.

I pulled away again, putting distance between us. "I'm fine," I said more forcefully than I intended, but the tremor in my voice was clear as day.

I turned to see Laura still on the track, unmoving. My heart sank. "Shit! Laura!" I shouted, trying to get up and see if she was okay, but there were too many people, and Luke was still trying to get me to stay down.

Luther's authoritative voice cut through
