and numbers of the officers that were keeping watch tonight. They’re in an unmarked car and not in uniform. I saw them on my way in, and they were young-looking. I doubt anybody who isn’t looking will notice them. I just hope the kidnapper is caught tonight.
    “Spin the bottle!” Frannie yells, coming down the basement stairs. She’s holding an empty bottle of beer. I can tell by the look on her face that she got the same text as I did.
    Behind Frannie, Hayden and Cassidy follow.
    Since Frannie is the one who suggested the game, a ton of guys and girls are all filling into the basement. Usually we wouldn’t play such a juvenile game, but a lot of guys would jump at the opportunity to kiss Frannie, Cassidy, or Hayden. I can’t blame them. I have gorgeous friends.
    I just hope my bottle lands on Jace.
    Ugh. This is going to suck.
    “Me first,” Frannie says, keeping an energetic tone in her voice, but I can see the worry on her face. She spins the bottle and it goes around a few times before the bottle lands on Jace. My Jace.
    He frowns.
    “I’m going to pass,” Frannie says. “No offense, Jace. You’re hot. But you’re my best friend’s boy.”
    “You know the rules, Fran,” Landon says, smiling big. “If you don’t kiss, you have to take off a layer of clothes.”
    “Fine,” she says and pulls her shirt over her head. She is now sitting in her bra.
    “I’ll go next,” Cassidy says. She spins the bottle and it lands on my friend, Lexie.
    Lexie looks up at Cassidy with wide eyes.
    “I’m game if you are,” Cassidy tells her.
    “Um… s… s… sure.”
    Cassidy leans over and kisses Lexie on the mouth. It’s a chaste kiss, no tongue. They break it off within seconds. All the guys boo. Obviously they wanted a show.
    It’s Trey’s turn next. He leans over and spins. He groans as it lands on Dustin, the only openly gay kid at our school. Trey doesn’t say anything, he just pulls his shirt off. All the girls stare at his abs, and I gag. Seriously? That’s my brother! Ew.
    “My turn,” I say, grabbing the bottle. I’m nervous as it spins around, and I feel a rush of relief when it lands on Jace.
    Jace smiles big at me and stands up. He holds out his hand for me and I take it.
    “Keep it PG,” my brother says.
    Jace pulls me into his arms and slowly leans down to kiss me.
    This kiss, like every other kiss we’ve ever shared, is full of passion and love. I feel the zap from the top of my head to my toes. And for a moment, I forget that we are in a room full of people. It’s just me and Jace.
    I reach my hands up to his hair and gently run my fingers through. I feel Jace run his hands down my side until he reaches my butt. He gently cups it, like he did earlier. I am instantly turned on.
    Suddenly, Jace’s lips aren’t on mine anymore. I open my eyes to see my brother pulling him away from me.
    Oh crap.
    How did we forget that we were in a room full of people — in front of my brother .
    “What the hell?” Trey asks Jace, pushing him forcefully.
    “Eff—” Jace says. “I’m sorry, man.”
    “Don’t ever touch my sister like that again.”
    “Trey, chill. He just grabbed my butt. It wasn’t even a big deal,” I tell him, stepping between him and Jace.
    “Not a big deal? He just grabbed your ass in front of everybody ,” Trey says. “Like you’re a piece of meat.”
    I roll my eyes. “It’s my body. You don’t get to dictate what is okay and what isn’t. I like when Jace touches my butt. It won’t happen in front of you again, and I’m sorry that it did happen. Jace and I are in a committed relationship, so things are going to happen. You can’t freak out on him every time it does. He’s your best friend. And you promised you’d chill.”
    Trey runs his hands over his face and sighs. “Mads, I am sorry. I just… hate seeing anybody touch you. You’re right. Jace is a good guy, and I’m glad you’re with him. Just, please, no more butt grabbing in front of me. Or
