EVERYONE knew, since kids, that Ethan had it bad for her, he never tried to play it off. He chased her constantly, teased her constantly, he’d become a shy mess around her most times even having known her his whole life. Mason knew. And he wasn’t mad about it, because his best friend really loved his sister. Like, actually. Ethan has always been rejected by Leanna, because he was two years younger than her, because she was a player, because he was her younger brother’s best friend… she always had an excuse to deny him. They grew up with Leanna insulting him and him staring at her like she hung up the moon. Always teasing each other, mocking each other, calling each other only by their surnames. Wilder. Molloy. that was them. Ethan longed for her. He really did. He’d do anything for her. He knew her reputation, of course he did, but he didn’t care. He could see it in her eyes since they were kids, she loved him too. They knew each other better than anyone else and that angered Leanna. She couldn’t stand it. Couldn’t stand him.
Love pupp
Leanna has a younger brother, Mason Molloy, 18, 2 years younger than her.

Ethan had always reserved all his firsts for a person: Leanna Molloy. His best friend’s older sister.

Tonight, they’re at a party celebrating that the hockey team won the league. Mason and Ethan are celebrating. She is with her friends, grinding on random guys who tried to take her home, and amidst it all, she feels familiar hands on her hips pressing her right against him. Too familiar.
“Aye Molloy, nice moves” Ethan teases, cheeks flushed every time he was around her. “Gimme a chance?” He whispered, letting go of her, because he NEVER forced any type of touch unless she wanted it.*
