Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Rose was greatly moved by Silas’ promise to take responsibility for her. Still, she
steeled her heart, shoved him, and left his embrace.
She brushed it off, "Don't worry about that. I'm not a fussy woman. That's not my
first kiss anyway. You don't have to take responsibility for me like a strait-laced
man."
Then, she tossed her smooth hair and waved in a carefree manner. "Mr. Taylor,
you're handsome, but I prefer a rebel over a symbol of justice."
A rebel? Would she prefer the likes of the devilish Axel or even Landon Harper?
Landon was taken, but Axel was available. Besides, tonight's event saw the
gentlemen and ladies mingling freely like a blind dating occasion. Even he was
momentarily tempted by the choices around him.
Could she have developed an interest in Axel?
Feeling oddly threatened, he blurted out, "How about trying out different stuff?"
Rose, who had maintained her calm, turned her lips downward. She nearly lost
her composure when she heard the suggestion.
"I don't mind. I like my romance new and thrilling," Rose replied with a tantalizing
smile like a vixen. "But Mr. Taylor, are you sure you can handle a celibate who
might have a change of heart at any time?"
Rose had a brief and hasty exchange with Alyssa before she excused herself,
citing work matters at the studio. Rose's assistant picked her up soon after.
Alyssa, worried about Rose and curious about what ensued between her and
Silas, confronted Silas. She found him with a long face on the living room couch,
sipping on the tea that Mrs. Rosie had served him.
"What's wrong? Did you bully Rose or something?" Alyssa accused him,
choosing to side with her best friend in the first place.
"I kissed her," he confessed.
There was no point in keeping it a secret at this time. Silas even hoped that
Alyssa could offer him some ideas.
Instead, he grunted, "Ouch!" as he felt a dull pain on his forehead. It turned out
that Alyssa had plucked a grape from the fruit platter and hurled it at his head.
She gasped, "No wonder... No wonder her eyes were red and swollen. She was
in low spirits as well. You did bully her!"
Then, she started plucking off the grapes and hurling them at him out of anger.
"You're a jerk! How could you flirt with my best friend? I'll do anything to make
you marry her now. I'll make her my sisterin-law!"
Silas stared at her in a daze despite the grape attack. He even stuffed a grape
into his mouth as he questioned, "You said her eyes were red from crying when
she left. Was that true?"

Of course! And it's all your fault for

Alyssa blinked in shock. She couldn't believe that Silas had gone straight to
confession. As for forcing a kiss on a lady... Any woman with some reservations
would have hated that.
The squabble between the siblings attracted Jasper's attention. He showed up
looking drunk, but his mind was crystal clear.
He approached Alyssa and placed a hand on her waist. Then, he whispered
hoarsely, "Why did you get into a fight with Silas for no good reason?"
She twisted her waist in protest and made him her punching bag instead. "All
men are jerks!"
