It was a cold day, so Adria decided to take the hottest bath.
She stood under the showerhead as she let the water run down her delicate body.
She sighed at how she instantly felt stress relieved, like the water was washing away all the bad energy that was swallowing her up.
As she used her hands to rub the soap off her skin, Adria let out a sigh. She liked the way she felt.
For the first time in a long time.
As she bit her lower lip, the oddest of thoughts crossed Adria’s mind. She wasn’t one to do that.
In fact, the first time she tried it, she didn’t like it much. But at that very moment, Adria wanted to touch herself.
The last few days she had been on edge, and she would do anything to feel better.
But what could be the reason she was having these thoughts?
She placed one hand on the wall in front of her and let her other hand ravish her own body.
A low sigh left her lips as her hand slid down to her breast, cupping one in her tiny hands.
The roundness felt soft and full; she wasn’t too big, but the size was enough to make any man look at her again.
Her hand grazed her n*****s and she shuddered. She was overly sensitive there, and it was abnormal.
Before today, Adria had thought that she lacked the sensitivity of a woman.
She hardly got turned on, she hardly thought about sex.
What’s worse, it was what all girls her age wanted to talk about.
And do.
She allowed her head to fall back as she tried to pleasure herself.
She didn’t want to lose focus; all she wanted was to cum.
So Adria let her hand slide further down until it reached the place between her thighs.
She wanted to—
There was a knock on her door, and Adria jumped into reality.
“s**t,” she muttered to herself as she realized her stupidity.
Lily was in her room.
How could she try to pleasure herself when a 14-year-old kid was just behind that door?
Adria wanted to mentally slap herself.
“Coming,” she said as she grabbed the towels hanging at the side.
She used one to dry her hair as fast as she could and the other to wrap around her body.
She didn’t think much before swinging the door open to attend to her stepsister.
“So sorry I spent eternity in there. You want to use the bathroom?” she said the moment she almost clashed with Lily, who was directly behind the bathroom door.
“Uhm, I just wanted to say thank you and inform you that I was leaving,” the tiny, soft voice said, with still sleepy eyes.
Adria wondered why she wanted to leave when she still looked sleepy.
But her thoughts were halted when she noticed the figure that was half-seated on her table.
Shock settled over her as her eyes locked with her stepbrother, whose eyes had obviously been on her the moment she came out of the bathroom.
Adria was sure she turned red with embarrassment.
She couldn’t move, and it felt like she had lost her ability to speak.
The way he looked at her from head to toe wasn’t helping matters, like he had all the time in the world to check her out.
His gaze flickered as he noticed how creamy her skin was, and slender in the right places.
Her wet hair held a thinness that made her face look smaller, like a child’s. Finally he looked away from her body and his eyes settled on her green eyes.
“Hi, Nut,” his deep voice sounded through the room.
“What—wh—” she took a deep breath as she looked at herself.
The towel she was wearing was too short, barely covering her butt from behind.
“You’re trying so hard, aren’t you?” he asked with a smug expression, his face pulled into a smirk.
“Trying?” she asked, her gaze narrowing on him.
“You want to seduce me?” he asked, a sly smile appearing on his annoyingly perfect lips.
Adria was astonished, and if it wasn’t for the fact that she wasn’t sure she was secure in the towel, she would have run and fought him.
Not that she’d win, but she’d try.
“Seduce you? Why would I try to seduce you, you imp!” she screamed at him. Suddenly, she remembered that Lily was standing in front of her.
The girl was rubbing her head frustratingly, like she was done with the way the both of them were behaving.
Like kids.
“Why then are you almost naked?” he asked, feigning ignorance, as if he didn’t know she’d just come out of the bathroom and hadn’t expected him to be there.
“Because I’m in my room, and you’re not supposed to be here!” she scolded.
“Do you know how red you look?” he said as he stood up straight, completely discarding her accusations, and took a step closer to her.
Adria cursed under her breath. That was because she was just m**********g!
“Nerve of you to think it’s because of you,” she said, making her stance and giving him a bold face.
He was surprised—pleasantly surprised by her answer. His brows arched at her.
“Tell me, why are you red, Nut? What were you up to?” he asked, looking totally excited and interested, invested in what she was implying.
“Huh? I didn’t say I was doing something,” her face got redder. “And don’t call me Nut,” she tried to warn, but her voice was giving her up.
It was very shaky.
He eyed her suspiciously, then his gaze rested on her chest. It was heaving up and down, and he could literally feel how tense she was.
“Relax,” he said, as if to portray that he meant no harm.
“As you can see, I just finished having the warmest bath ever. I’m sure as hell relaxed,” she suddenly snapped. “Now, what the hell are you doing in my room? Who even let you in?”
Normally, he would laugh or chuckle at her anger, but his face grew tight as he looked at Lily.
He had almost forgotten she was there.
“I can see. And I came to pick up my sister, and my sister let me in,” he said like a good boy.
Adria’s frown deepened when he answered her questions one by one.
“I would love it if you got on with it and leave my room,” she snarled at him.
He gulped. “Sure. Let’s go,” he said to Lily, though his gaze never left Adria’s.
At the same time, they all heard a soft feminine voice call, “Babe?”
It was unfamiliar.
Adria’s face turned confused.
With his eyes still fixed on Adria, he answered, “Coming!”
Oh…
He brought his girlfriend home? Adria was shocked and she didn’t hide it.
“Is that why you came to look for me?” Lily asked with a disappointed look.
“Why, yes. She said she missed you. Go say hi,” he said cheerfully to his sister.
Lily didn’t look all that excited, but she didn’t argue.
She smiled at Adria and left. Nathan gave one last look at her and smirked, then followed after his sister.
