Chapter 1
"ياسمين ونيكول حقًا تشبهان بعضهما البعض كثيرًا"، علق ريتشارد هايز، مما جعل كلتا السلفتين تديران رأسيهما في نفس الوقت.
كانتا بنفس الطول ولديهما أشكال جسدية وملامح وجه مشابهة. حتى أعينهما، التي كانت تلمع ببريق خفيف من الشقاوة عندما تنظران إلى شخص ما، كانت لها نفس الشكل المستدير والنهايات المرفوعة.
إذا كان هناك أي اختلافات، فإن نيكول كارتر بدت أكثر طبيعية، بجسد ناعم، وبشرة أفتح وأكثر دقة، وشكل ممتلئ يشبه السحاب. ربما بسبب صغر سنها، كانت عيونها تحمل لمسة من البراءة والنقاء، مما يجذب انتباه الآخرين بسهولة.
نظرت ياسمين أورتيز بشكل غريزي إلى روبرت هايز، الذي كان يتكئ بكسل على كرسي بار بجانب جزيرة المطبخ. جسده الطويل والنحيف كان يتكئ على المنضدة، وأصابعه الرفيعة تدور كأسًا عاليًا يحتوي على سائل أحمر عميق، يبدو غير مدرك لما يحدث.
عند سماع كلمات ريتشارد، رفع جفونه ونظر إلى نيكول الواقفة بجانبه. أضواء السفن السياحية المارة بالخارج ألقت أنماطًا معقدة من الضوء والظلام على وجهه، مما أضاف غموضًا جذابًا إلى عينيه العميقتين.
غاص قلب ياسمين، وتبعت وجهها، عابسة وهي تستدير، وتلقي نظرة احتقار على ريتشارد. ألقت معظم الخضروات التي قطعتها للتو في الحوض القريب.
نيكول، التي كانت تدير ظهرها للمجموعة، فوجئت بفعل ياسمين الغاضب. وعندما أدركت أن هناك شيئًا غير صحيح، ابتسمت بسرعة وقالت، "هايز يتحدث هراءً فقط. كيف يمكنني أن أقارن بياسمين؟ إذا كان هناك شيء، فهو أنني أشبهها."
ياسمين، التي ولدت في عائلة ثرية، رغم أنها لم تكن بنفس ثراء عائلة هايز، نشأت في رفاهية وتطورت بشكل طبيعي قليلاً من الغضب. لم تكن تستطيع تحمل المقارنات.
رغم أن نيكول كانت أصغر سنًا، إلا أنها كانت دائمًا تدعو إلى السلام والوئام داخل الأسرة وكانت مستعدة لتهدئة ياسمين.
"أوه، نعم..." أدرك ريتشارد أيضًا أن كلماته السابقة كانت غير مناسبة وسارع إلى تعديلها، "ياسمين، أنت أجمل بكثير من نيكول. نيكولنا ما زالت تتصرف كطفلة، دائمًا تحتضن زجاجة الحليب الخاصة بها ولا تتوقف، مقارنة بك، هي تتخلف كثيرًا."
"من تناديها طفلة؟!" استدارت نيكول، وهي تحمل ملفوفة في يديها، متظاهرة بالغضب على ريتشارد. تصرفها المرح جعل الجميع يضحكون.
اقترب ريتشارد، وعانقها وقبل خدها، ثم قدم لها علبة حليب مفتوحة بالفعل، قائلاً بابتسامة، "فتاة حمقاء، ها هو حليبك. ما زال لديك طريق طويل للحاق بياسميننا، أليس كذلك؟"
كانت الساعة منتصف الليل، وكان قصر عائلة هايز غارقًا في الظلام. كانت ياسمين مستلقية في السرير، غير قادرة على النوم. المحادثة التي جرت في وقت العشاء لا تزال تتردد في ذهنها. ذكر ريتشارد أن نيكول تشبهها قد أثار شعورًا لا يوصف بداخلها.
استدارت ونظرت إلى روبرت، الذي كان نائمًا بجانبها. تذكرت طفولتها عندما وقعت في حبه من النظرة الأولى. أصبح هو الشخصية الثابتة في أحلامها وخيالاتها وهي تكبر. لم تستطع إلا أن تعجب بذكائه وسحره وطبيعته اللطيفة والحنونة.
ومع ذلك، لعب القدر مزحة قاسية عليها. أصبح روبرت صهرها عندما تزوج أختها الكبرى، نيكول. كان قلبها يؤلمها في كل مرة تشهد فيها سعادتهما.
هذه الليلة، اشتد هذا الألم. إعادة اكتشاف الشبه الكبير بين نيكول وبينها أشعلت الرغبة المحرمة التي حاولت جاهدة كبتها.
قررت ياسمين مواجهة نيكول. لم تستطع تحمل العيش في ظل مشاعرها الخاصة بعد الآن. كانت بحاجة للاعتراف بمشاعرها الحقيقية، لتعرف ما إذا كانت نيكول تشعر بنفس الطريقة.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run.
