The Insiders (The Insiders Trilogy, #1)

by Tijan

I angled my head out, just enough so one eyeball could see. He headed toward the main room, and like that, there was another burst of loud music, as if a door opened somewhere inside. A guy passed Kashton, heading to the other side of the room. Shirtless. A lean frame like Kashton’s, but skinnier, his jeans were half falling off him. He had dark blond hair that looked greasy, spiked high, and he slapped Kashton on the shoulder as he went by him. He barely looked up before he was out of sight, and then he backtracked. Slowly. Foot by foot. There was no casual walk this time, until he was standing just in front of Kashton … staring right at me. I hit the wall just as Kashton turned to look, too, and I let go of the button. I knew who I had just seen. My half brother from Peter’s first marriage.

I can't explain why, but I really loved this scene. This was her first look at Matt in real life.
