As we had our dinner, my mom asked worriedly, “How was your day ever?”
“It was okay, mom.” I say.
“Yeah, she was with me the whole time, don't worry, Aunt.” Ashton says.
“That's good then.” She says, relieved. “Did you make any friends?”
“Um, not yet, but I did meet a few people.” I say as I take a sip of water.
“That's a good start too. Try to make some friends.” Mom says.
“Don't worry, darling. Evelyn is beautiful. I am sure she will have friends. And Ashton will be with her, too.” Adrain says as he squeezes Mom's hand lovingly.
I sigh as I look at them, suddenly feeling jealous of the public show of affection.
Turning to Ashton, he says, “Ashton, take care of Evelyn. Be with her until she makes some friends, and don't let anyone bully her.”
Ashton glances at me and then says, “Don't worry, aunt. I will take good care of her. She will be with me.”
I don't know, but I can't help but glance at his face. He looked so hot with wet, messy hair. God help me. Why do I keep thinking of him like that?
Entering my room, I fall on my bed as I start to doze off, being extremely tired from all the unpacking and college things.
Suddenly, I hear a knock on my bedroom door. I get up, groan, and head to the door. Opening it, I find Ashton standing there.
But that isn’t the problem. THE PROBLEM IS MY f*****g STEPBROTHER IS STANDING THERE LOOKING DAMNN HOT IN NOTHING BUT HIS SWEATPANTS!!!
I forget to talk as I keep looking at him. Damnn those board shoulders... Wide chest… those six pack abs, and this perfectly built body... he is so f*****g beautiful!
I gulp as I keep checking him out. My eyes trail downwards towards his sweatpants, imagining what's hiding in there.
I can feel a sudden heat wave in my body as I look at him. My core clenching in desire, and my n*****s hardening.
Before my thoughts can run wild, I hear a cough. Breaking out of my trance, I look away, my heart racing wildly.
“Are you done yet, princess?” He asks while leaning against the doorframe seductively.
My breath hitches in my throat as he suddenly comes closer to me and says, “Or should I remove this, too?” He points to his sweatpants.
I can't form any words as my eyes wander to his lips, wondering what they taste like. As if following my eyes, he comes closer to my face. Our lips are barely a few inches apart.As my heart starts to beat wildly, I close my eyes anticipating what's about to happen.
But all I feel is a soft kiss on my cheeks. Opening my eyes, I look at him as he takes a few steps back. Confused, angry, and flustered, I come to my senses. Composing myself, I ask him, “What do you want?”
“Ahh, are we going to behave like that now?” He says amusingly, his eyebrows raised, his eyes somewhat cold as he looks at me.
“What do you mean? Behave like what?” I asked, trying to act cool and pretending not to know anything.
He suddenly comes closer and pulls me to him. As I hit his chest, I felt his hard and firm chest against my hands. I try to push him away, but he holds me closer. When I feel his hot breath in my ears, I stop struggling as my heart beats wildly.
“Like you were not waiting for your stepbrother to kiss you. Like you were not wanting to pounce on your stepbrother the moment you saw him.” He says angrily with his husky voice.
I take a breath as my mind starts to get hazy with his seductive voice and closeness. His hands on my waist slowly move upwards, and he tilts my head upwards. Lifting my eyes, I look at his hungry and stormy eyes. I can feel myself getting lost deep in his eyes when I suddenly hear a ringtone.
Breaking out of my trance, I push him away, and this time, he lets me.
“I came to ask for your number." I hear him say.
“Oh. It's *************,” I say, my mind still hazy and not understanding anything.
“Got it.” He turns around to return to his room. He suddenly stops and looks back. “And princess, don't worry. I won’t keep you waiting for long. I promise.” He says, looking deep into my eyes. Dumbfounded, I keep looking at him like a stupid person as he enters his room and winks at me while closing his door.
As I come back to my senses, I lock my door and let out a scream.
WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING!? Goshhh please. Oh my god, just- what the hell did I do?!
I was so close to kissing him! I was waiting for his kiss! He is my stepbrother for god's sake! What the hell was I doing?! And how could he pull me so close just like that? I am his stepsister. How could he be like this?
And WHAT THE HELL DID HE MEAN BY HIS LAST SENTENCE?!!!
Fuck how could I let him be so close? Ahhh, why-what-What the hell!
Putting my shoes on, I sit on my bed. Last night was sleepless. I kept thinking about him. f**k I don't even know what’s happening to me. I could feel myself getting wet thinking about him. I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about him intimately last night.
I try to stop my drumming heart as I tell myself that he is my stepbrother. I can't think about him like that. f**k his fuckboy ways. He doesn’t get to use those on me.
As I come downstairs, I see my mom, Adrain, and Ashton having breakfast.
My eyes lock with Ashton for a moment before I break it and go to my mom.
I couldn’t help but think that he looked hot.
“Evelyn, come have breakfast." Mom says, gesturing at me to take the place beside Ashton.
“I am not hungry, Mom. I will go to school first.” I say as I turn to head towards the door.
“Wait. Aren’t you going with Ashton?” Mom says, getting up and coming towards me.
I look at Ashton who has his eyes set on me with a glare as if telling me to dare go alone.
“It's okay, Mom I can go by myself.” I say, gulping nervously, hoping she doesn’t notice anything.
“Evelyn, your mother’s right. You are new here, and you do not know the roads. The driver can take you if you want, but Ashton is going there too, so why not go with him?” Adrain says looking worried.
“Yes, you don't have any friends yet, either. Don't say anything. You are going with Ashton, and that's final. Sit and have breakfast.” Mom says firmly and pushes me down to my seat next to Ashton.
Well, here goes nothing.
