Blurb "Jace, no," I whimpered softly knowing it was what I was supposed to say but my heart wasn't so sure. It felt good. So good to be wrong. Yet it was. His voice, too deep for a teenager and his words, so sweet and convincing that all I could feel was how right he was. "Oh Sweetness! What is so wrong about this? I know you want me as much as I want you. How can it be wrong?" he cooed as his thumb stroked me once more. I closed my eyes and bit my lip. I wanted more. How was it possible to want something I could never have so bad? "See how wet you are for me?" he whispered in my ear. "You are my brother!" ★★★ A highschool junior nerd, a senior playboy and a forbidden romance. Tess Prescott is used to being her father's only child after her mother died when she was five years old. Eleven years later, her father decides to marry again. Tess not only has to adjust to having a mother figure in her life again but also having a brother. Jace is not the typical stepbrother who just wants to be grumpy and rude to his stepfather and stepsister. He is hot, charming and a playboy, every quality that Tess has always walked away from. Even she finds herself pulled towards his nature and his advances towards her awaken something she had never considered before. This time should be easier to shut them off because Jace is her stepbrother but all it takes is one night in the house alone and she can never look at him like her brother again.
View MoreTESSIE'S POV I was woken up the following morning by a loud knock at the door. At first, I woke up in a state of disorientation not sure whether I had actually heard it or it had been just in my imagination. Jace's hand was under my neck and my head was on his chest. had no idea how that had happened. Maybe I had turned in my sleep and he had been open enough to hold me like that. It wasn't the first time falling asleep in my bed together but this was different. And I was still mad at him for not defending me against Lexi. "Tessie? I need to get your clothes to do the laundry," the doorknob turned.I sat up quickly. That was Jace's mother. Thankfully the door was locked. I shook Jace vigorously trying to wake him up. He groaned and struggled to open his eyes. "Wake up dummy!" I slapped him lightly several times and whispered, "Your mom is standing outside the door. Go back to your room!" "What?" he sat up in confusion. "G
TESSIE'S POV Everything happened so fast that I didn't even have enough to time to think about what I was doing. I wasn't thinking straight and his determination and passion was making it even harder. Before I could realize it, I was leaning against the wall with my top off and my bra half off.Maybe it was the cold on the wall or maybe it was my senses that finally decided to kick in. I slowed down before pulling away. He was about to take off his shirt when I acted. "Evan, wait!"He turned to me breathlessly. My chest was heaving rapidly and my whole body panic stricken. What was I doing? Evan stared at me in confusion. "Not here," I stated. "Right," he chuckled. "Well, maybe it's about time you gave me the house tour to your bedroom?"His enthusiasm and smiles were charming. I would say hard to resist but that would be going too far because what I was feeling was only my body reacting to his touch and actions around me. I didn't even realize
TESSIE'S POV As soon as Evan stopped his car in our driveway, I grabbed my pouch and made my way outside. My evening had turned bittersweet all because of him. At least now my mind wasn't overrun by thoughts and all I could do was smile.I bid him goodnight but before I could walk two steps away from the car, he got out and ran after me. "Let me walk you to the door," he stated. "You said that no one is home so, I want to make sure that you get in safe," he added the moment I hesitated. "Okay," I smiled. The house was deserted as expected and the lights were out. Even the porch light. I had to use my phone's flashlight to look for the keys. I didn't like darkness. The intensity of it always gave me the creeps so having Evan there was an advantage. I finally breathed the moment I got inside and switched them on.Evan stood outside the door indecisively. I could see it in his eyes. What could I do though, invite him inside? No, that would be a bad idea. It
TESSIE'S POVI sat silently in Evan's car looking outside the window trying to ignore him but I could still feel his gaze on me. I convinced myself that ignoring him would work as long as I didn't turn to him. He would read my face right away. Or maybe that was just what I was afraid of. "Don't take whatever Lexi says to heart. Being mean is the only thing she knows how to do best," he broke the silence but I didn't look at him. "Honestly I don't know if she can change or it's just in her nature." "People do change. Look at you, you used to be a bully. The meanest and worst person in school," I stated without thinking. Evan went silent. It was then that I realized the intensity of my words and suddenly, I felt bad. Upon turning, he had a firm grip on the steering wheel and through his side profile, I noticed a sad look on his face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that." "Nah, it's okay. I deserve that or even worse," he
JASON'S POVI felt bad and guilty. I wanted so bad to defend Tessie right then but I knew it would only cause more drama. Lexi was the actual definition of mean and entitled and his half-brother wasn't spared. I could see the difference between their personalities clearly and Evan was way better.I didn't know how to feel about that. Seeing him walk out with Tessie had a thousand thoughts racing through my head. If he turned out to be good enough to change Tessie's mind... No. I wouldn't think about that. Tessie was mine, she couldn't just walk away like that. "Did you come here with me or with them?" Lexi asked forcing me to turn back to her. "That wasn't nice," I decided to give her my thoughts. "You don't have to be mean to them or even acknowledge them, you know?" "Oh my God," she exhaled deeply rolling her eyes. "Does it offend you that I don't want to be around my half-brother and your little sister when we are on a date?"
TESSIE'S POVI wasn't ready for this. I knew I wasn't going to be ready for it and if only it had some kind of skip button to rush through the hours, I would have hit it without thinking. And 'the theatre was big enough'? I was now strongly disagreeing with that because as we walked in to find our seats, I located him sitting across the room with her.If I was being honest, I was actually glad they were seated where I could see them. I hated to feel the way I was feeling, unable to trust that nothing we hadn't agreed on would happen but I couldn't help it. They couldn't possibly have sex there, could they? Yeah, I was definitely spiralling. It wasn't good and if I didn't get my head back in motion, I was going to ruin everything. I shook the thoughts off and followed Evan but bumped into him. He had stopped suddenly while I was busy roaming my mental streets. It was a miracle the popcorn I was carrying didn't fall. "You are nervous," he stated gently. "Is everything oka
TESSIE'S POV For the past month or so, I hadn't dreaded a weekend like I was dreading this one. The constant thought of hanging out with Evan again after avoiding him for weeks was causing havoc to break out in my stomach. The words he had used to describe it were haunting me and I had to keep reminding myself that I was doing this for the right reasons. He had called it a 'perfect date' and my guilt was having a field day in my subconscious for agreeing and actually smiling in encouragement.I was seated in the kitchen eating my evening snack. Snacks were my go to whenever I was nervous or anxious about something. Honestly, I couldn't wait to just get the night done with. My dad walked in adjusting his shirt. I stared at him as he went ahead to groom his hair nervously. I guess I inherited more of his nervous genes because this white dude was a whole wrecking ball of them. Judging from what he said of her, my African-American mother was the confident one. "Dad," I c
JASON'S POVThe game that evening was both disastrous and fun. Disastrous in that seated in the bleachers was the whole group of the girls in my life full of indifferences and drama erupted two or more times throughout the whole game. On the other hand, our team was winning. Even Evan was nicer toward me. I couldn't tell if it was because he was the captain and needed to win so bad. Yeah , maybe it was exactly that. During the last minute, I ran across the field and reached touched down winning us the last goal that marked the end of the game. I jumped into a group celebration with the rest of the team. Evan stood a safe distance away from us but there was a hint of a smile on his lips. He was happy just like everyone else. He just couldn't get over his ego and need to be the center of attention. I didn't pay him much attention.I was running across the field heading to the locker rooms when Lexi and her cheerleader friends ran into my path. Consciously, I turned around and found Te
AVA'S POV "You were hanging out with him on Saturday, weren't you?" I asked confused by Tessie's reaction. "Why is your face pale?" "Is it?" she asked and ran her palm over it as if that would help clear the reaction. Why was she acting so weird? Had I said something that surprising that she couldn't even look at me straight? I was confused. "Tessie, what's going on with you? You are seriously starting to scare me." "I'm sorry, what exactly are we talking about?" she asked. "Okay, you are out of your mind. Do you need to see the nurse?" "Yeah, I think I might. I'm feeling kind of feverish," she sighed heavily. "Or maybe I just need to sit down. Let's go sit."She started walking away without waiting for my response. I watched her for several more seconds before I followed. I had never seen her like that. Tessie was the kind of person who never had to struggle with her answers. This hesitation she had
