No Strings Attached

Teo stretched out his arms and pulled Katherine into an embrace.

Ever since he'd come into contact with Katherine, it felt as if he'd been given a second wind. That feeling was like being a lovestruck teenager all over again, heart racing at the slightest touch. Just then, Katherine's phone started to ring.

Her eyes darted to the caller ID, and she swiftly answered the call.

"Hey, big bro, what's up?"

A deep, masculine voice came from the other end, "Kitty, I'm in Northbridge. How about we catch up tonight? It's been too long since I've seen you and Brodie. Dad sent some goodies for you guys." "Sure, come over to my place tonight. I'm at a friend's right now, but I'll head home in the afternoon."

"Great, see you tonight."

After hanging up, Katherine's eyes sparkled with excitement. "My big brother's coming to Northbridge! I'll be hosting him tonight. After we eat, I'll head back."

"He's my dad's adopted son. He's taken care of him since he was little. I only came into the picture later. He had an accident years ago, which left him in a wheelchair. He's never married and never had kids. He's always treated Brodie like his own son."

Realizing they weren't blood relatives, Teo's protective instincts flared up.
