Page 23 of Little Liar

Maybe I should just kiss her.

I drop to my knees, chewing the inside of my cheek. A sudden weight is on my chest. How do I do this?

How do I kiss her?

I want to kiss her.

So. Fucking. Badly.

Unless we start slow. First base, I think it’s called.

Can I see you?I want to add that I want to see her naked, but nerves win, so I leave it at that.

Her brows knit together. “You can see me?”

Cute.

I tug her collar as I get closer.Without this,I sign, then touch her pants and raise my hands again.And these.

There’s a possibility I might die tonight. My heart shouldn’t be going as fast as it is. “Death by nerves” sounds horrendous next to my name on my headstone.

“Why?” she asks.

I want to see you. I promise not to touch you, I sign, now officially the biggest liar in her life. I’ll touch her. I’ll do a lot more than touch her.

She’ll love it too.

“I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of girls without clothes on. You don’t need to see me.”

How delusional is this girl? The only naked person I’ve ever seen is Olivia, but she isn’t fully aware of how much I stalk the living daylights out of her.

I have pictures, videos, and soon, I’ll have footage of me fucking her into one of our mattresses. Or both. Or maybe inmultiple places. Maybe I’ll chain her up and record me fucking her ass while she screams for me.

Then I click on to what she just said and shake my head.

“You haven’t?”

No. Plus, it’s your body I want to see. Why won’t you show me?

Her nervousness makes my impending anxiety attack lessen, and I watch her fidget. “What if our parents catch us? You know it’s wrong.”

They won’t. We’ll hear them coming.

“But… I’m… Really?”

Why can’t she see what we are already? Without even being together, we are stronger than our own parents’ marriage—fuck, we’re more powerful than the entire world.

“I’m your sister.”

And that’s your war cry. Take your clothes off, Olivia.

My patience is vanishing with each word.

I expect her to slap me, but she only chews her lip nervously. “I’ll do it, but under one condition.”

Fuck.

Did she just say… She’ll do it? She’ll actually do it?
