I must have waited for an eternity. And then… nothing. I didn’t feel his lips on me. I realized I didn’t feel any part of my body touching his. Then I heard him say, “Midnight snack?” Slowly, I opened my eyes. He was staring down at me with an amused expression on his face. “What did you say?” I asked. “I said, I’m hungry. I would like you to cook midnight snack for us,” he replied. I blinked back at him. “Tha-that’s all?” He took a step back and blinked back at me. The look on his face was innocent and amused at the same time. And suddenly, I felt confused. “Yes. That’s all. Your friends said you can cook. And suddenly, I’m starving. What do you say? Cook for your big brother?” Shit! Is he fucking kidding me? I took a moment to compose myself. Then I smiled back at him. “Sure. What do you want to eat?” He shrugged. “Something with soup would be perfect for the weather.” He pointed at the kitchen. “Knock yourself out.” I nodded and walked toward the kitchen. Suddenly, I f
Zach shook his head. “Unless you have the power to stop a storm.” “What about our clothes?” “I have clothes here. You can borrow mine. I’ve got a stock of new toothbrushes too and clean towels. If you’re hungry, I’ve got enough food here.” He went to the double-door fridge and opened it for me to see. He had beers, Breezers, milk, fruits, ice cream, and ready-made foodstuff. “I can stay here for days and never go hungry,” he said. I reached forward and touched the bottle of watermelon Breezers and smiled to myself. “There’s a bathroom upstairs. You might want to take a shower. My clothes are in the cabinet. You can borrow whatever you want. When you come down, we’ll play some pool and drink some beer.” He led me upstairs. There was a canopy double bed and matching gray-wash bedside table and wardrobe cabinet. Seeing the bed made me gulp. It brought back a lot of memories of that night I spent with him. I quickly shut the memory out of mind. I can’t think about him that way! E
I stared at the table with my mouth hanging open. I didn’t see Zachary move, but I felt the heat of his body behind me. I heard him whisper in my ear, “Whatever I want, baby girl.” There was something dangerous in the tone of his voice, which made my heart pound ten times harder. I watched him take the aim for the last striped ball on the table. He looked like a man on a mission, and I knew he was going to win this game. He stared at the target like a hawk keeping its eye on its prey. He took a shot. It was lightning fast. I blinked, and the striped ball was gone into the pocket and the cue ball spinning in the center, in perfect alignment to the eight ball. He walked behind me. I felt his hand brush my hip slightly as his hot breath tickled my ear. “Don’t worry, baby girl. I won’t do anything naughty… that you don’t want me to.” Shit! The sound of his voice, the heat of his body, the feel of his breath against my skin—I felt my knees turn to jelly, and it felt like my body was m
Zach.It was forbidden. She was forbidden.She was still my adoptive parents’ daughter. The society still saw us as siblings. We lived in the same house. Her blood relatives still saw me as their own. There were still some things that people around us couldn’t understand. Our parents would not accept this. Dad wouldn’t. And I was more afraid of what he would do to her. He loved me. But he didn’t love her.I didn’t care what they’ll do or say to me or about me. I was only worried about her. As her big brother, it was left up to me to protect her reputation, her dignity. I was the last person expected to corrupt her innocence.And I did just that the past few months. I was in the shadows, watching over her, watching who moved within her circle. Shoo away any guy who may be interested in her, threaten them if necessary. Like I said, I was possessive that way. And if I couldn’t have her, no one could! It’s hard enough for me to deal with not having her. Imagine how I’d be, dealing with so
Blaire.“House party Friday night. Are you going?” April asked me Tuesday afternoon. I had a free period, and we were hanging out in the open grounds in front of the main building.“Whose party is it?”“Drake, my cousin.”“I’m not invited, and I don’t know him.”“You’re coming with me, silly,” she said. “Unless you have plans, of course.”I wasn’t sure. Last Friday was one of the most incredible Fridays of my life. And I had a date with my brother. Nothing less than brotherly happened, of course, except for the fact that we sort of admitted to each other that we’re still attracted to each other. But in the end, we knew we were both fighting that attraction. That night, I slept in his bed in the mezzanine floor, and he slept on the couch downstairs. He took me home afterward, and I hadn’t heard from or seen him ever since. And I had to admit, I missed him so much.Just then, he appeared at the top of the steps of the main building. He was wearing a pair of jeans, white shirt, and a blu
Blaire.I gave him one last glare, and then I went inside his car.He kneeled beside me and said, “I will close the door. If you were planning to run off as I round my car, I want to remind you, I can run really fast. I’ll just haul you back again. And I won’t get tired of doing it over and over.”I glared at him.“Good,” he said.He went inside the car and locked the doors. Then he started driving in silence.Halfway through the drive, he finally spoke, “What’s the problem, baby girl?”“There’s no problem, Zach!” I muttered. Yeah, he could screw whoever he wanted, and I didn’t have any right to stop him. I didn’t have the right to get jealous, but fuck! That’s what I was feeling! I was jealous of the fact that he’d been hooking up with other girls while I was not yet over him! He just told me last Friday that he was still into me. How quickly did he get over me?“There is if you’re acting that way,” he said. “What did I do this time?”“Nothing!” I said. There was no way I would admit
Zach.“What’s up, bro? You don’t sound too well,” Kenzo said to me on the other line.“Well, maybe that’s because I’m on the verge of killing myself.”“Really? Let me know how that goes when you wake up in the hospital.”“How sure are you that I’m going to survive a suicide attempt?”“Bad weeds never die, my friend,” he teased.I fell silent for a moment. I was sitting in the balcony of my room, staring out the wonderful view in front of me.“This is serious. Is it about family?” Kenzo asked.“Close.”“Is it about a girl?”“Definitely.”“Whoa! The last girl you were obsessing with was my girl’s best friend. And I know you didn’t pursue her. And honestly, I don’t know why. You mean there’s a new girl?”“No. Same girl. This seems to be my problem, bro. It always boils down to the same girl.”“I… don’t get you.”“What I’m about to tell you, man, you have to keep to yourself.”“When did I ever spill?” he asked.I took a deep breath.“You remember I told you I have a little sister?”“Oh ye
Zach.“Hook up with other girls. Keep fucking Stephanie Bell. Be a sex-crazed college jock. There’s a long line of girls wanting a piece of you. Take a pick.”Was that why she was here on a date? Because she thought I was screwing another girl behind her back? After spending that amazing Friday with her and telling her how much I still wanted her?I didn’t know Stephanie Bell personally. She was stalking me. Messaging me. But I was ignoring her. I made it clear that I wasn’t interested. For months now, there was only one girl who’d been constantly on my mind. And just when I thought I made it clear to her how much I wanted her, Stephanie Bell had to put other ideas in her head, and now, she’s here with some other guy I was about to murder. I just might include Stephanie in my hit list.I went up the second floor and exited toward the balcony. This gave me a view of the pool and garden. I scanned through the area for her. I found her sitting in one corner, holding a bottle of Breezer i
Zach.My cheeks and neck where Damien had hit me burned, but the physical pain was the least of my worries. All I could feel was guilt and remorse just thinking about what Blaire must be going through right now.I hated myself for subjecting her to this humiliation, and it was because I failed to be a man and control my dick. If only I could undo my mistakes.My body, mind, and soul craved her with an intensity that scared me. The thought of ending the night without plunging into her pussy nearly drove me crazy. I couldn’t resist my desire to claim her, smolder her with my infinite passionate kisses, caressing, and fondling. I wasn’t one to accept defeat – not when we were so close to expressing our feelings out in the open. And by some stroke of misfortune, our friends had to rain on our parade!And now, not only did they walk in on our business uninvited, they made us face our harsh reality… our worst nightmare.
Blaire.I didn’t know how much time flew by. All I knew was that my beautiful dirty secret has finally spilled out in the open. I couldn’t pull away from the visibly upset Zach, who held me close to his chest as I buried my face in his chest, too embarrassed to continue the staring competition with our friends. But the strong demeanor he wore to make me feel better did little to alleviate my apprehension.Marie was the first to break the silence.“Bee! What the fuck do you think you are doing?” she screamed, tears peering through her eyes. She covered her face with her palms as she sobbed into them.Kenzo didn’t say anything. He just stood there coolly with his hands inside his pockets. His attitude since I and Zach bumped into him earlier that evening showed that he already knew what was going on with us.Trepidation consumed Jessie. She lost words to describe the obscenity playing right before her e
My phone beeped.Zach: Baby girl…Me: Babe…Zach: I forgot my bag.Me: Okay, I’ll be out in a minute.I wiped my tears dry and then I went out of the room. Zach’s bag was in the cabinet. I took it silently and then I went out the door. Zach was leaning against the wall beside the door.“Hey,” I whispered.He stared at me for a moment. Then he reached forward and caressed my head gently.“There are a million things I wanted to say, a dozen things I wanted to do to you,” he whispered.Tears rolled down my cheeks. “I miss you!”He smiled at me ruefully. “I miss you, too. And right now, there’s nothing more I want to do than kiss you senseless and drown myself in you.”“Me too.”He pushed a lock of stray hair away from my face.“I’m sorry,” he said.
We attended the concert with our friends, keeping at least two feet distance between us. My arms ached to hug him, my lips couldn’t wait to kiss him.“I thought your boyfriend is joining us, Blaire,” Damien reminded us of when we all grabbed dinner at the food stands.“He’s ah…” I trailed off, not really knowing what to say. If only I know what my imaginary boyfriend was up to!“He’s stuck in a blizzard. Plane got cancelled,” Zach supplied for me.“What? Blizzard? Where the hell did he come from?” Kenzo asked with a wide-eyed expression. Something told me he didn’t believe there was a boyfriend all along. After all, he knew Zach well.Zach raised an annoyed brow at him before replying curtly, “Alaska!”“Oh, that’s too bad,” Kenzo said with a slight smirk.Yep! He knows.“Oh, that means you’r
Blaire.I stared at my friends blankly. Then I turned to Damien. “Hey, Dame. Nice to see you again,” I said, stepping forward and giving him a hug.“Where’s your boyfriend?” he asked. “I was wondering if we can finally get an introduction? You didn’t come here with just your big brother,you? That would be boring!”“Ummm… yeah. He’s chaperoning me,” I said quickly. “I was going to meet my boyfriend here. Zach agreed to hang around with me until he comes.”“Zach’s your brother? And you have a boyfriend?” Marie asked.“And you didn’t tell us?” Jessie asked accusingly.I smiled at them sheepishly. “I guess. It’s just recent. I didn’t get a chance to tell them yet.”“Recent?” Damien echoed. “You’ve been rejecting my boy Ricky during our family reunion becau
No! He can’t know! We’ve been careful.I cleared my throat and straightened my back. “Are… you okay?”“Of course, of course,” he replied. “But if you need something, come to me, okay? I have your back, cuz. The court said you’re not related to us anymore, don’t forget that. You are not our blood. Legally, you are not my uncle’s son anymore. But… you’re still my cousin, okay?”He patted me on the shoulder.Okay! He’s being a little weird.“Okay,” I said. “I’ll remember that.”“Good,” he said.“Ben, it was nice seeing you again,” Blaire said behind him.“Oh, hello, cuz,” Ben said. He reached forward and gave her a hug. As if automatically, I started timing how long he’d be hugging her. After five seconds, I’d be hauling him off her.Luckily, he pu
Zach.I pulled her toward my car and opened the passenger door for her.“We can’t leave!”“Oh yeah we can,” I said.“Those guys are going to notice that we’re gone.”“Like I care,” I said. I motioned for her to get in.Reluctantly, she got in.I drove away from the bar.“Where are we going?”“To heaven, baby girl. I’m going to give you what you’ve been asking for since the moment you walked into the bar.”Her eyes widened in disbelief. My hands went to her thigh, giving it a light squeeze, making her bare skin even hotter.“Oh my god, I don’t think I can do this,” she breathed.“Do what, baby girl?”Suddenly, she seemed really nervous. I stared back at her. She shook her head. “I can’t do this. I can’t just walk out of the bar with a complete
Zach.Me: I’m sure. You’re the teasing type. I’ll bet it makes you hot thinking about how I’ll rip those panties off you. So, tell me… how tiny are they?Her: So tiny they barely conceal me.I almost choked on my beer.It was getting hot. We had been through this before. When we sext each other, we usually end up having sex in the shed. But the problem was that we were a thousand miles away from home and we were surrounded by nosy cousins, aunts, uncles, and our parents. But I was not sure I could wait until tomorrow night to make love to her.“You didn’t come here just to text all night, did you?” Damien asked behind me.I immediately turned my phone over, hiding the screen from him.“Remember, I didn’t want to come at all,” I said, drinking my beer.“Plenty of hot girls here. You don’t fancy anyone?”Yes.
Zach.“Look, if you guys want to have some fun, go knock yourselves out,” I said to the boys.“We’re going to hook up with chicks, man. Don’t be such a party pooper!” Damien said to me.“Don’t tempt him, bro. He’s got a girl,” Ben told him.“So?” Damien asked, arching a brow.“So, I’m loyal,” I said.“You’re whipped!” Ben said, chuckling.“I am. And I’m proud of it. You should try it. Feels incredible.”Damien wrinkled his nose and shivered as if he found the idea extremely abominable.“Come on, bro! We just got you back after almost a decade! You used to be the leader of all mischiefs in the pack. And now, you’re staying at home when we want to go clubbing with girls. Oh, did I mention hot girls?” Damien said.“I’m not stopping you. But sorry, guys. M
