Katelyn's POV
Ryan's sudden gesture caught me completely off guard. As he pulled me into his arms and his fingers brushed my cheek, time seemed to stand still for a brief moment.
My heart raced at the closeness, seeing his cute smiles made me stiffen, and I felt frozen in place.
But then reality crashed down like a tidal wave, and I pushed him away in shock and anger. "Ryan, stop it!" I barked hoping to get the message into his head and to also stop myself from having weird feelings.
"We're stepsiblings." I reminded him and also myself. "This is so wrong!" I yelled at him, my voice trembling with confusion and frustration.
I couldn't believe he was acting like there was something more between us. It was beyond inappropriate, and I needed him to understand that.
My anger boiled over
