I have always had a comfortable and easy life. One of the main challenges I faced was being the middle child, which often meant receiving less attention from my parents.
My older brother Eric showed me attention when it wasn't received by our parents. However, he was the golden child which meant he would take over the family business.
Because of this, the attention he was giving me decreased as he was being trained more and more to take over.
And then there is my younger sister Anna was the baby of my parent's eyes; so she could do no wrong. She got the most attention besides Eric.
Things weren't always bad for me; it was the time when Anna was born that I no longer felt love in this family.
I felt like an outcast in my own house; just taking up space. I was very lonely and believed I was until I met Karen. Karen and her family the Markson's moved to the neighborhood when it was about 10 years old.
I met Karen because of my mother; she always liked to welcome new people into the neighborhood. Along with my mother, Anna, and myself; we welcomed them with a tray of our mother's famous peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies.
That day I met Karen, her twin brothers Luke and Liam, and their mother. Since that day Karen and I were inseparable.
If I had been aware that developing a friendship with Karen would ultimately result in several years of turmoil, which I now deeply regret, and nearly caused me to lose my family, I would have made different choices.
My entire family was disappointed with me after I came clean about the situation with Karen. She had my brother's wife abducted and I was involved but without knowing I was.
These many years being friends with her I was blinded to her true nature. I thought I was her but my brother Eric made me see clearly that Karen was using me.
I didn't want to believe that, I didn't believe it because I had no one else. Karen was there when I felt alone and sad. After the whole a*******n, she blamed me for my family being suspicious about everything.
That's when my eyes were open based on how she treated me by verbally abusing me. That's when I knew then that I had to cut all ties with Karen.
Once my conscience was clear I explained everything to my family about the things Karen had me do but also how I felt being in my family.
Since my family and I had a heart-to-heart we have been closer. I even got to know Sophia better and she has been nice to me despite how I treated her.
My family had cut ties with the Markson family because of the whole a*******n. It came to my surprise when my father informed us that Luke and Liam Markson were coming over for dinner.
Even though it was Karen that treated me badly I didn't want to deal with the entire family anymore. Especially Luke and Liam, who would always tease me whenever they would see me.
Having dinner with Luke and Liam was awkward and very quiet. I wanted to know why they were here in the first place. I was glad when our father ended the silence in the dining room as he asked the brothers the reason for their visit.
"Luke and I came on our own accord without our father's knowledge," Liam began to say as the both of them stood up from their seats
"We sincerely apologize for Karen's actions that have hurt Sophia and your family," They both said in unison.
Before they could continue with their apology speech, my father interrupted them and asked them to sit back down. "The both of you do not owe Sophia or us an apology, either one of you had done anything wrong. However, it's your sister who should be the one apologizing," my father said.
"For the record had we known what our stepsister was plotting we would have put her in check, " Liam said proudly.
After those words were made everyone continued to eat well we enjoyed small talk. Now and then I caught Liam and Luke staring at me. What is the problem; why are they staring at me?
Dinner had finally ended and I was feeling rather stuffed. I decide to take a stroll around our estate to burn some calories. Luke and Liam hadn't left after dinner; they joined my father and Eric I guess to chat.
I'm not sure how long I spent walking around enjoying the scenery of the night sky but when I turned around to head back into the house I ran into something hard.
"Easy there sweetheart, where are you running off so fast too," Luke said with a devilish grin on his face. "It's none of your business and why are both of you still here? I said angrily.
Liam responded in a husky voice, "There's no need to get feisty, princess. We just wanted to check in and see how you've been holding up lately." I retorted, "Why do you even care? The last time I checked, both of you couldn't stand being around me."
Both brothers began to walk closer to me; decreasing the space between us. "That's where you're wrong sweetheart; we always care about you," Luke said as he brushed through the ends of my hair with his fingers.
It just didn't make any sense for them to worry able me since they always went out there way to tease me whenever they could. "If what you say is true then why did the both of you constantly pick on me? I asked them feeling nervous about what their answers might be.
"We only pushed your buttons constantly because you were our wicked stepsister's friend. However, all we could think about was taking your innocence and making you scream our names, princess," Liam whispered in my ear.
I began to feel hot all over my baby; unsure of how to respond to how my body was reacting to their touch and words.
It was like I was in some form of trans and I had a hard time thinking clearly with Liam and Luke invading my senses with their maple-woody aroma.
My body was frozen still as Luke tilted my head up by grabbing my chin softly with his big fingers. Liam had begun to caress my body; moving his hands up and down my arm at first then my back.
My heart was beating faster than I ever thought possible. Luke's face was now inches away from mine and then he leaned in closer.
Before I knew it Luke had captured my lips in a deep hungry kiss. I began to feel soft kisses on my neck then some light biting. The sensation was overwhelming.
After they both pulled back simultaneously, I was finally able to catch my breath. Liam confessed, "You don't know how long we've desired you; now, you belong to us, princess."
