Taboo Series - Falling for my step brother

Chapter seven

I looked at them both and sighed. "I'm going to go wait with Jacob, at least he is normal." I sigh as I shrug out of Lucas's grip and walk out the door. Jacob was like a sentinel, it took him a few seconds to even notice I was there. "Why are you standing guard? This place is dead posh, not like someone is going to mug us or something in here." I laughed.

"It is my job to be vigilant." Jacob shrugged making me laugh. I looked around and saw other people with what looked like bodyguards walking around the mall. Oh how the other half live. Lucas came out and looped his arm around me, pulling me back down the row of shops. "Where are the bags?" I asked, noticing Lucas was not carrying them.

"They will be waiting for us when we leave, but you need other clothes first."

"I can't afford clothes from here Lucas. Can't we find a cheaper shop or something?" I protested as he pulled me into another store.

"You're not paying I am." he said in a forceful tone.

"Yesterday you were all, 'You and your mum are gold diggers'. I am not taking anything off you. The uniform, fine, but nothing else." I crossed my arms and planted my feet showing I was serious.

Lucas leaned in against my ear, his lips skimming my lobe as he whispered. "Do you remember our little arrangement? You do as I say, or I will tell your mum how much you moaned, and how wet that little p***y of yours got when I spanked you last night." I felt my face burn and I wanted to curl up and die right there. I looked around panicking someone had heard his words but luckily we were alone. Lucas pulled back and smiled at my discomfort as he dragged me further into the store.

A perky blonde shop assistant came over, I mean, I am blonde but she is like sunshine blonde. She looks at Lucas and bats her big fake lashes making me annoyed. Was I jealous? No I couldn't be, that would be too weird. Although my mood did settle when instead of reciprocating her flirtatious manner, Lucas pulled me to his side and said. "I need some clothes for my sister here. Shorts, tank tops, dresses, skirts. Anything that will help her stay cool." again with the sister thing though, that was the cold splash of water that I needed on my raging libido.

"Yes of course." the shop assistant smiled, still giving it a good try to get his attention. "I have just the thing."

She prance off and we followed, she stopped near some decent knee length shorts that actually looked quiet nice. I reached out to touch them but Lucas pulled my hand back. "Are you deaf or just stupid? Those are practically trousers, my sister is from England and not used to the heat, they need to be much shorter than that."

"Lucas!" I snapped. "There is no need to be so rude, and besides I like these." I said pointing to the shorts and giving the now very pale shop assistant an encouraging smile.

"Fine, grab a pair of those, but shorter ones next." Lucas sighed as the shop assistant rummaged through and pulled out a pair without even having to ask my size, which was good as all the numbers here were different and I was totally lost. The shop assistant took us to a section of mid knee length shorts, but Lucas sighed. "Shorter."

"Lucas, I am not going around with my ass hanging out." I protested and tried to pull away, but his grip on my hip was too strong.

"Who gives a crap, you look like you are boiling alive in these jeans and it is not even summer! You need to be carful, you could get heat stroke or something. You didn't even sleep properly last night, just stop arguing with me." I gave a small nod to show my submission as I felt awkward having this conversation in front of the shop assistant who already looked confused at the way Lucas was holding on to me. We kept walking to yet another section and Lucas nodded and started to point at different shorts, which the shop assistant grabbed. "And tops to go with these and some skirts and dresses the same length." the same length? That would be a belt.

I wanted to argue but Lucas just dragged me to the changing area to wait for the assistant to come back with what he had asked. Now with slight privacy I decided to broach the subject. "Lucas, why are you clinging to me like this? I'm not going to make a run for it, I don't even have a passport at the minute, and I am an adult I won't get lost."

"I like you next to me." he shrugged as his thumb pushed up my top slightly and started to circle the soft skin of my hip. "Do I make you nervous?" he laughed.

"To be honest, ye, a little. I still don't know what you want. You introduce me as your sister and then act like I am your girlfriend or something. People are looking at us weird." I thought I was better off just getting everything out there. "What would Mar-dad say?" I quickly corrected myself.

"Dad knows." was all he said making me look at him in confusion.

"Knows what?" I asked but the assistant came back, with a massive pile of clothes and I did not want the explanation in front of her.

She directed us to one of the massive changing rooms and hung all the clothes on various hooks before walking out. I went to walk in but Lucas stopped me closing the door. "It will be quicker if I just come in with you." he stated, keeping his hand on the door. I looked past him to the shop assistant who was definitely looking at us with a strange expression, so I just sighed and stepped back, allowing him in. For the next half an hour, Lucas watched me try on various outfits, asked me to turn and then put them in the yes or no pile. Eventually he pulled out his phone and tapped a message. "You want a coffee?" he asked.

"Please." I replied as I pulled down the shorts I just tried on, for the first few changes I was shy and coy, but now I just gave in to the fact that Lucas had already seen my underwear and just got on with it.

His phone rang and his face fell slightly. "This is the office, I'll just step outside and take it." I nodded as he walked out and I locked the changing cubical behind him.

I put on my next outfit, a pair of short denim shorts and a black tank top that showed my stomach. This was definitely a no, I laughed to myself as there was a knock at the door. "One sec." I called as I put down the hanger in my hands and opened the door.

Instead of Lucas being on the others side it was a man I didn't know. He pushed me into the changing room and locked the door before rooting in his pocket and pulling out a gun. I froze. I had never seen a gun in real life before. "Give me your money." he ordered, his eyes looking up and down at my inappropriate outfit.

"I don't have any money." I stuttered out holding my hands up.

"You rich kids all have money." he grunted, shoving the gun further towards me.

"I'm not a rich kid, I came here with my mums boyfriends son, I have like £200 in my bank account and I don't even have my bank card with me." I explain, trying to take a step back.

The guy noticed this and lunged forward grabbing my arm and pulling me to his chest, locking his arm around me to keep me there while pushing the gun against my cheek. "Well he must have money, how about you and me go find him." he said as he turned me and signalled for me to unlock the changing room which I did. "You have great tits." he growled into my ear as he moved his hand to squeeze one painfully hard. I did not like this the way Lucas touched me and a part of me was thankful and sickened by it. He pushed me out onto the shop floor, still holding on to me roughly. I looked to the doorway but Jacob was not there and I also couldn't see Lucas anywhere.

"Hey, you like the outfit?" The shop assistant said before the guy turned me around like a rag doll and she gasped, noticing the gun.

"Where is her brother?" he shouted, pushing the gun harder into my cheek.

"He... He stepped out to take a call." the assistant stuttered looking like she was ready to piss her pants.

"Get me all the money in the registry." he ordered. "Now!" he barked making the assistant jump as he moved the gun away from me and pointed it at her. This was my chance, I hit hard up on his out stretched arm making him shout and drop the gun. I then stomped on his foot, elbowed him in the crotch, turned and punched him in the throat before delivering another blow to his nose making him fall to the floor in pain.

Now on his knees I wrapped one arm around his throat and pulled back hard with my other. "How do you like being man handled you son of a b***h?" I grunted ad I pulled harder.

"s**t!" Jacob yelled as he ran in, placing the coffees he had been to pick up on the ground and pulled out his gun. "What the hell happened here?" Jacob asked. As he took in the scene and went to his belt to grab a set of handcuffs that he had there.

"This piece of s**t tried to rob me but I had no money so he tried to rob the store instead." I explained as Jacob holstered his gun and snapped one cuff on before I let go and he pulled the other guys arm behind him and cuffed the other.

"T-thank you." I looked over to see the pale shop assistant shaking slightly next to me.

"Here take a seat." I said as I guided her to a stool that was behind the counter. I then went over and grabbed one of the coffees Jacob had brought back. "Drink this, it will help with the adrenaline crash." I said as I wrapped her hands around the warm cardboard cup.

I turned around to see that the mall security had arrived and were talking to Jacob who was pointing at me and shrugging. They walked over and looked me up and down before looking at the shop assistant. "So what happened here? Do you have the CCTV footage?"

"That is what I want to know!" an angry voice said and I swallowed hard as I turned to see Lucas looking like her was ready to explode.

"Yes, the footage, one second." the woman said as she disappeared for a second leaving me with an angry Lucas and a confused security guy. Jacob joined us after the guy and his gun had been hauled away and gave me an encouraging smile. "Here we go." the woman said as she handed the security guy a tablet and Lucas and Jacob watch over his shoulder as they looked at the footage of what had happened. The whole ordeal felt like it had taken ages but in reality it was only a few minutes before all three of them looked at me with varying expressions of shock, disbelief and anger.
