Resisting my step-brother 2

Taken care of

A few days later, I was beginning to feel a lot better. I didn’t actually break anything which was a miracle and my injuries had jus turned into scabs and bruises. I haven’t told Annie about what had happened, I didn’t know how and I wasn’t sure she would believe me. I know she’s my best friend but Dan is her brother.... he’s blood. Besides, I didn’t want to cause any friction between them. They were always so close and I didn’t want to be the one to break their bond. I was staying at Liam’s house and he has been very attentive to my needs. He was showing me a side of him that I rarely saw in the past. He still had to go to work but he always came home and took care of me. He was also very respectful which was different. 

Dan still tried to get in contact with me but I ignored him. He did his usual apologetic speech over voicemail, sent me texts and constantly tried to call me. I was done with him. The man I fell in love with was suppressing a monster. It was something that could potentially kill me one day and I had to think of myself.

“Hey, how are you feeling today?” Liam asked bringing in a tray of food that he had prepared. I smiled to him and replied “not too bad”. I sat up in the bed and he laid the tray on my lap. The plate had a freshly cooked salmon with some boiled potatoes, covered in butter and a side of peas. He had also poured me a glass of pure orange juice. I grinned at the effort he had gone through and thanked him.

“Eat up, I will go and run the shower for you and you can jump in it once you’ve finished” he smiled and walked towards the door.

“Uh... Liam?” I called to him. He turned and hummed in reply.

“Would you... um” I couldn’t say it. I was too embarrassed and I didn’t know if he would be able to restrain himself.

“I will help you” he smirked and I blushed. He left the room and I dug into my meal. 

I placed the empty tray to the side of the bed and wriggled myself to the edge. I took in a deep breath and lifted myself onto my feet. I was so weak and achy from being bed bound for the past few days. I groaned quietly.

“Are you... Elle!” He exclaimed rushing over to help me.

“Why didn’t you wait for me?” He asked and I giggled.

“I didn’t think I needed to” I replied and he rolled his eyes. He took my arm and guided me to the bathroom. The glass of the shower was already steamed up from the warm water that had been running. The bathroom was slightly foggy and humid. I leant against the sink for a moment and tried to take my shirt off, but struggled from the pain. Liam was standing in the doorway, watching me.

“Are you going to let me help?” He asked raising his eye brow. I turned to him with a defeated look and nodded. He slowly made his way over to me and stopped directly behind me. My heart was racing for some reason as it has been years since he last saw me completely naked. His fingers tickled at my waist as he grabbed the bottom of my shirt. As gently as he could, he lifted it over my head and dropped it to the floor. He then pulled down my leggings to leave me standing there in my underwear. I could hear his breathing exaggerate and I kind of liked it. He stood still for a moment to allow me to take over, but I didn’t, I couldn’t.

“I... I can’t reach behind me to unclip my bra” I confessed. His hands pinched at the hooks and he released my bra from my body. The sound of him swallowing behind me indicated his temptation. I smirked to myself and bent over in front of him. I pulled down my thong and let it drop to my ankles. His eyes were invading my privacy and I liked it. I turned to him and gazed up and he cleared his throat.

“Do you need anymore help?” He asked frustratedly. I smiled and opened the shower door. Stepping inside, I could feel Liam’s eyes scanning my naked body. I turned back around and finally responded “I’m fine”. He flashed me a smiled and then left the bathroom swiftly. 

I wrapped the towel around me and squeezed at my dripping hair. When I saw myself in the mirror, I teamed up slightly. The damaged that d**k has done to my face is horrendous. It’s no wonder Gemma and Liam looked so concerned when they found me. Whilst I was inspecting each one, Liam knocked on the door.

“Are you alright? Do you need a hand?” He shouted from outside the door. I sighed at my reflection and turned the handle. Liam stood there leaning against the wall. He was so f*****g irritable that it was hard to restrain myself.

“I’m okay” I smiled and hobbled past him. He sniggered and followed me back to the room. He shut the door behind him and sat down in the chair. I was on the other side of the room, brushing through my hair and looking back at him in the mirror. He just watched me, like a statue and strangely I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. I twisted my body to face him and smirked.

“Enjoying the view?” I asked him and he giggled. 

“Oh babe, I’m not interested” he smugly replied and his words sent goosebumps through my entire body. Those three words are encouraging and meaningful to me. My cheeks turned red and I looked back to the mirror. I noticed him raise from his chair in the corner and very slowly walk towards me. My breath caught in my chest but I tried to act like I wasn’t bothered. Once he was standing behind me he raised his hands to my shoulders. The tips of his fingers travelled down my arms and his lips lowered to my neck. He didn’t touch me with his mouth, he just breathed gently through his nose and I closed my eyes. 

“It’s a good job you could shower on your own” he whispered against my skin. I gulped and asked why.

“Because I wouldn’t have been able to control myself” he growled and I tiled my head slightly. 

“Well that wouldn’t have been a good idea now would it?” I teased and he smirked at me in the reflection.

“Why’s that?”

“You’re not interested...” I turned to him. “Remember?”.

I placed my palm to his chest to back him away and he shook his head at me, smirking and chuckling at the same time. 

“Now if you don’t mind?” I grinned flashing a look at the door.

“I need to get dressed” I said and he flashed a smug look then exited the room. Get ahold of yourself Elle. You’ve been there before and it ended badly. Don’t fall for it again!
