Torn Between The Carter Brothers

3: My Fake Boyfriend

Addison

“What?” I breathed out after finally catching my breath, having just recovered from that unexpected kiss.

I looked back at Zane who stepped forward in that moment and settled his arm around my waist, a move which made my heart flutter again.

When I glanced back at Marco, he was glaring so hard at Zane, and if looks could kill, Zane would die at once.

“I don’t understand Marco, I didn’t kiss your brother, I kissed my boyfriend. This is the boyfriend I told you about.” I breathed out, voice higher than normal because I still felt hot on the inside from the unexpected kiss.

Marco stepped forward, a sharp glare on his face as his eyes settled on the arm around my waist.

“This is my brother, Addison. What you’re saying makes no sense! Explain how you’re dating my older brother.” He was seething right now and my brain short circuited as I stiffened in realization.

Zane is his brother?!

I whirled around to stare up at Zane who had a relaxed expression on, seeming completely unfazed before lazily speaking to Marco.

“Hello, dearest brother.”

Shock exploded within me. They’re really brothers?!

They looked nothing alike from their face, to their body build. Zane was all large muscles, and he was way taller than me compared to Marco.

I didn’t even know Marco had a brother! Throughout the time we dated, he never spoke about a brother to me at all.

I cleared my throat and tried not to focus on the arm still on my waist as I spoke.

“I guess it’s just a funny coincidence, Marco. I had no idea he was your brother.” I breathed out just as Zane pulled me closer into his side, then he leaned down to nuzzle my throat, making my heart stutter.

“You don’t need to explain yourself to him, love.” He drawled loudly, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine and my cheeks burned furiously. I could smell his cologne right now and he smelt so… so manly.

“I’m sorry I was late. I had something to take care of, that’s why. Were you alright without me? I missed you so much that I almost couldn’t breathe.” He spoke as he stared down at me, sounding very sincere and if I didn’t know better, I’d have believed him.
