More Than Enough (Enough #2) by Kate Daniels Page B

then and gave me a peck on the cheek. I turned to look at her, and she was already hopping out of the truck and running inside . My cheek tingled from where her lips had been, and I started to question myself about where this could go. But I just couldn’t let even my thoughts get far because my dream was still Carter. All my thoughts were still too wrapped up in making her happy and protecting her. I just didn’t have enough faith to even dream about anybody else. She and Brayden were the only two people in the world that I really trusted, and maybe I shouldn’t. Because they’d hurt me more than anybody else was even capable of.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 6
    Athena
    I could hardly take in a breath as I climbed the stairs to my dorm room. I’d actually ridden by myself with him in his truck. He opened the door for me and paid for my meal. I’ve never b een treated like I was valued or important, but he just made me relax and get excited all at the same time just from being around him. But he still only saw Carter. When I first walked up to both of them in the gym, I could’ve sworn he was checking me out, but his gaze went back to Carter almost immediately after that.
    Carter is so sweet and likable that I was happy to have dinner with her, but when I knew Keller was coming, I could hardly contain myself. He’s just everything that’s sexy. That’s the only thing I think I dislike about Carter. It’s how easily she disregards how Keller feels about he r. Brayden and she practically have sex with each other in front of him, and Keller doesn’t even really try to disguise how he feels about her.
    When I saw the pain in his face tonight, I just want ed to offer to do anything I can to make him feel better. But I could tell that he isn’t even close to being able to get past her yet. The kiss I gave him on the cheek seemed to thoroughly shock him, and that wasn’t even close to what I wanted to do to him.
    I got into my room, and Addison was still up with her little reading light on. “Hey you, how’s it going?” She just smiled and answered, “Really good, all my classes went well today. How was dance practice?” “It was good but hard. Rachel wants us to be in top performance shape for the first game next week, and I’m not quite there yet.” She gave me a look of disbelief as her eyes scanned my body and the declared, “Well if you’re not in top shape, I don’t know who is.” And with that statement Carter’s body came instantly to mind.
    She was just so much all in one perfect little package. How was I ever going to get Keller to really see me when all he seems to see is her? And it has started to become really important to me for him to actually want to be around me. I was craving more and more of a real chance with Keller, but I didn’t know how to go about and make any of what I wanted become a reality.
    Just then someone knocked at our door. I wasn’t too shocked since we do live in a dorm, and people stop in to see if they can borrow clothes or a book all the time. It could even be Rachel wanting to talk about how practice went and what are all the improvement s that we need to make over the next week.
    But it wasn’t any of that, it was Carter. Standing there and giving me her breathtaking smile while in a tank top and sleep short s. “Hey, Carter, what’s going on?” She took a deep breath and then said, “Hey, Athena, I just wanted to explain why I left you like that tonight with Keller at the restaurant.” Her eyes pleaded with me to let her say whatever she needed to, and I was fine with that. I’d just assumed her and Brayden wanted to be alone, but maybe there was more to their abrupt departure than what I’d realized.
    I gestured for her to come over and sit down on my bed. When we were seated, I nodded at her to continue. She explained, “I just want Keller to be happy, Athena. And
