Adrian POV
I was preparing for practice as basketball is the only place I feel like myself.
As I laced up my sneakers and put on my jersey, I felt a sense of calm wash over me.
The court was the one place where I could escape from all the pressures of school and life. It was the one place where I felt like I could truly be myself.
I could forget about all the expectations and the demands that were placed on me and just focus on the game.
As I dribbled the ball and shot a few practice shots, I felt my worries fade away.
It was just me, the ball, and the net. Nothing else mattered. It was like therapy, in a way. I could focus on it all day long.
As I moved across the court, my mind started to wander to thoughts of my family.
I thought about how things had changed since my dad remarried. It wasn't that I didn't like my stepmom, it was just that things were different now.
I felt like I was always trying to measure up to her expectations, and it was exhausting.
All my life I've been trying to prove to my dad that I am worthy of all his attention and not just his money.
I wished I could just be myself, but it felt like I was constantly trying to be someone I wasn't.
I took a deep breath and focused on my breathing. I reminded myself that I was here to play basketball, not to dwell on my problems.
I'm Adrian, I love to play basketball, it's the one place where I can forget about all my worries and just be myself.
I have a step-sister named Jane who is super smart and always at the top of her class, while I struggle with school.
Sometimes I feel like I'm just not good enough compared to her, and I get frustrated. It's not that I don't like her, I just feel like I can't live up to her standards. It's tough to be the 'dumb one' in the family.
Even before my dad remarried, I had so much pressure on myself to be the best. I always felt like I had to prove myself, to show that I was worthy of my father's love and approval.
But now, with Jane in the picture, it's even harder. I feel like I'm being compared to her all the time, and I always fall short.
It's a tough spot to be in. But like I said, when I'm on the basketball court, all of that goes away. I'm just me, and I can be free.
I know it might sound silly, but I feel like I'm not living up to the expectations of my dad. I don't want to disappoint them, but sometimes it feels like I can't do anything right.
Basketball is the one place where I feel like I can be myself and not worry about all of that. I can just focus on the game and forget about everything else. It's kind of like a safe haven for me.
And also an escape from the rest of the world.
As these thoughts filled my mind I knew I just had to relax. But I couldn't. Not under so much pressure.
As I stood there in a daze, I heard the sound of sneakers squeaking on the gym floor.
Slowly, I started to become aware of my surroundings, and I realized that my teammates were arriving for practice.
I could see them walking towards me, chatting and laughing with each other, not a care in the world.
And I felt a sudden pang of envy. Why couldn't I feel that way, too?
I've always been the odd one. Always.
Why couldn't I just relax and enjoy myself, without worrying about all of the other stuff?
I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of stress and pressure.
One of my teammates walked up to me and clapped me on the shoulder. "What's up, man? You ready to ball?" he said, grinning.
I forced a smile in return. "Yeah, I'm ready," I said, even though I knew it wasn't entirely true. I didn't feel ready at all.
But I also didn't want to let my team down. So I forced myself to push my worries aside and focus on the game.
The coach blew the whistle and we all gathered around him.
"Alright, guys. Today, we're going to work on our defense. We've been a little sloppy on the court lately, and we need to tighten things up. So let's get to it!" he said, his voice booming.
We all lined up on the court, ready to start the drills.
I tried to focus on the coach's instructions, but my mind kept wandering back to my worries and insecurities.
I felt like I was constantly being pulled in two different directions - the pressure of having to perform on the court, and the pressure of having to live up to everyone's expectations.
I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending tug-of-war.
The drills continued and my concentration began to waver.
I kept making mistakes, and I could see the frustration on my coach's face.
He called a time-out and motioned for me to come over. I knew I was in trouble.
"What's going on with you today, Adrian? You're usually one of our strongest players, but today you're all over the place. You're not focusing and you're making mistakes left and right. What's going on?" he asked, a worried look on his face.
I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell him the truth - that I was feeling frustrated.
I was feeling frustrated. I couldn't do anything to prove myself.
But instead I said "I'm aight coach, just having an off day."
But my coach wouldn't hear that from any of his players.
"I don't buy that for a second," he said, shaking his head.
"I know something's up. You can talk to me, you know that, right? I'm not just here to coach you on the court, I'm also here to help you with anything else you're dealing with. So spill it, what's going on?"
I hesitated, but I knew he wouldn't let it go. So I took a deep breath and tried to find the words.
"I'm sorry coach, I promise I'm just having an off day. I'm fine, really," I insisted, but I knew he could see through my lies.
"I'm not buying it," he said again, looking at me with a concerned expression.
"I know there's something more going on. And you know I'm here to listen, no matter what it is. I care about you as a person, not just as a player."
I could feel my resolve starting to crumble. I knew I couldn't keep lying to him, even if it was hard.
The pressure was building inside of me, and I felt like I was going to burst.
I couldn't take it anymore. So I turned and ran out of the court, not looking back. I could hear my coach calling after me, but I just kept running.
I needed to get out of there. I ran out of the school gym and down the hall, not caring where I was going. I just needed to get away.
Finally, I stopped running and found myself by my locker. I sat down on a bench and put my head in my hands.
I felt like I was suffocating, like I couldn't get a grasp of what exactly was wrong with me.
All I want is to be loved but I guess it's not gonna come easy.
Not with this pressure.
The weight of the world was crushing me. Tears began to stream down my face, and I couldn't stop them.
I felt so overwhelmed, like everything was falling apart. And the worst part was that I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone about it. I felt so alone.
I don't know how long I sat there, but eventually I heard footsteps coming towards me. I looked up and saw my coach standing there. I turned away, not wanting to face him.
But he sat down next to me on the bench and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay," he said in a gentle voice.
"I'm not here to judge you or make you feel bad. I just want to help you. Whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here for you, no matter what."
I looked up at him, and his kind eyes met mine. I could tell he was being sincere.
And for the first time, I felt like I could actually talk to someone about what I was going through.
So I started to tell him everything. I told him about the pressure I felt to be perfect, and how I was always comparing myself to others.
I told him about how my dad's approval felt like a constant source of anxiety, and how I felt like I could never live up to his expectations.
"My dad works so hard, I just want to make him proud."
And finally, I told him about how overwhelmed I felt with everything - school, sports, and just life in general.
As I finished speaking, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
I looked at my coach, and he was just listening intently, without judgment or interruption. When I finished, he spoke.
"Thank you for trusting me with all of that," he said, "I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to share all of that. But I'm glad you did. And let me just say this - you don't need to be perfect. Nobody is perfect, and that's okay. You have so many amazing qualities, and you should focus on those instead of comparing yourself to others. And as for your dad, I know you want to make him proud, but you shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself to do so. Just focus on being the best version of yourself, and that's all he could ever ask for."
I sat there and let his words sink in.
"Thanks Coach, I appreciate you big time." I said to him, feeling really grateful.
I got home and metJane and her friend, Oliver or so, I can't really recall.
Shit! They can't see me so sweaty.
As I walked in, I watched Jane sitting at the kitchen table with her friend, I couldn't help but roll my eyes a bit.
They were both so nerdy, with their books and calculators spread out in front of them.
They were probably studying some advanced math or science or something equally mind-numbing.
I didn't understand how they could find that stuff interesting. To me, it was all just a bunch of boring numbers and formulas.
I scoffed and they turned around.
Jane became uncomfortable instantly and Oliver said "Hi" with a big grin.
I only nodded. I had too many problems.
I decided to go to my room and play some video games. I needed to get away from all of the nerdiness.
As I sat down at my desk, I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
Finally, I could escape into a world of my own, where I didn't have to worry about school or my dad or anything else.
I could just be me.
I picked up my controller and started playing, losing myself in the game.
After a while, I heard the front door open and close. I figured it was probably my dad, coming home from work.
But then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and they were too light to be my dad's. It must be Jane.
I heard the footsteps come closer, until they stopped right outside my door.
I could feel the tension in the air, even though I couldn't see the person's face. She knocked softly on the door, and I reluctantly said, "Come in."
The door opened and I saw Jane's face peeking around the corner. "Hey," she said shyly. "Can I come in?"
I sighed and said, "Sure." I knew I couldn't really turn her away, even though I didn't want to talk to her right now.
She came in and said, "Hey, Adrian! Can you come downstairs for a second? The Gardener wants to talk to you about something."
I groaned. "Can't it wait? I'm busy."
"No, he said it's important," she insisted. "Please?"
I sighed. "Fine, I'll be down in a minute."
I reluctantly got up from my bed and walked to my closet to put on a shirt.
I opened the door and started digging through my clothes, when I heard a gasp behind me.
Jane's POVI can't believe I did that."Oh my God!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide. "Why are you shirtless?"Adrian didn't turn around, but shook his head surprised by my reaction. "Uh, because I was getting dressed? What's the big deal?""I don't know. You tell me."He turned around and looked at me, a smirk on his face. "What's the matter, Jane? Never seen a guy without a shirt before?" he teased.I felt my face flush and I stammered, "I-I just wasn't expecting to see you like that, okay?"Adrian laughed and said, "Relax, it's no big deal. Just a guy in his boxers."I tried to regain my composure. "Fine, whatever. The Gardener wants you downstairs, so can we just get this over with?" I said, trying to sound annoyed. But deep down, I was still feeling a little flustered."Yes ma'am." He said and I couldn't help but smile.Aa I entered the reading space where Ollie was I just heard "Holy shit! Is that Adrian shirtless?" She asked so excitedly that it began to annoy me."Oh my goodness! It
Jane's POV I arrived at school before Adrian which was a wholesome surprise to me. That morning, he and I said nothing to each other. I refused to start a conversation with him, and he in turn rolled his eyes at the sight of me, sneering before getting into his car. I was fully dressed and waiting for him. He honked, and I opened the door to the backseat of his car and got in.The car engine purred softly as it pulled out of the driveway, leaving a trail of silence in its wake, which eluded the car as he drove out of the house, and headed for the school. Adrian kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not caring to glance at me once. I didn't turn in his direction either. Despite how hard it was not to take a second look at the new pair of Gucci pants and the Louis Vuitton polo he had on, I kept my gaze on the road. I was also itching to stare at his beautiful, curled hair, or lock my eyes in his, but I didn't want to be bullied. I held onto the resolve I made last night.Minutes later
Ollie POVI was on my way to the parking lot, where my mom waited for me every day after school. She hadn't arrived yet, so there was no need to hurry. I took the longest route, the path through the basketball court. Pausing to drool at the sight of Adrie and his hot teammates, practicing. I could spend the whole day looking at them, but that would be considered an awkward obsession.They were all gathered in the basketball court, their fancy and designer sneakers squeaking against the polished floor. Sweat dripped down their brows as they ran drills, passing the ball and shooting hoops. The sun was shining and it made the weather hot. The scent of fresh-cut grass filled the air. It was like a scene from a movie, except these boys were hotter than most movie characters.One boy, in particular, stood out from the rest. Maybe he didn't, but in my eyes, he did. He was tall and muscular, and moved with grace and precision. His shots were always on target, and his passes were all perfect.
Chapter NineOllie POVThe air was thick with tension as I approached the door of the classroom, my fist raised to knock. It was a hot afternoon and my heart was racing in my chest. The sweat on my brow was starting to drip down my face, but I ignored it. I needed to know what was behind the door. Or rather, who was behind the door. And why he was crying so profusely. I had told my mom the biggest lie I could think of - that I was studying with Jane in the library, and we would be unable to join her in her car, as Jane had failed the physics test. I told my mom that Jane was too sad to leave the library until she understood the topic. That didn't make any sense, and I didn't even have an explanation for it, but I simply hoped that she'd believe me and have no reason to call Jane for confirmation. I went on to tell my mother to go home without me, that I was going to come home with Jane and her mother, in their car. "Be home before six this evening." She responded. I smiled with rel
Chapter TenOllie POV "I don't hate Jane."As he navigated through the path that led to my house, he spoke to me about so many things. It felt as though I would fly. He and I were in his car, having the most calm and polite conversation ever. Me, Adrian? Definitely a dream come true. That wasn't all, he and I were talking about his feelings. "I don't hate you either." He swerved swiftly to the left, avoiding a careless pedestrian. "Stupid woman!" He cursed, rolling his eyes. My eyes didn't move away from him, so I had barely noticed the woman, nor did I see anyone else on the road."Why are you so mean to her, me, and everyone else?" I was talking about Jane and he knew. He barely bullied me or others. It was just Jane."I just wish I were better at anything. School, sports, music, anything.""You play basketball so well." I complimented."Yeah, right. I am just overhyped because we go in my father's van for games outside the school.""No, for real. you play excellently." I knew noth
Chapter 11Jane's POVOlivia got to the cinema before me, and was seated already, when I strode in casually. My eyes scan for a perfect position."Over here," a female voice called out. I looked in its direction and saw her seated at the far end of the room, clutching firmly to a pack of popcorn and a bottle of drink.I shuttled quickly towards her, a grin plastered on my face. "You seem very pumped about tonight. What's so special about this movie? I know you are not a big fan, anyway."Olivia smiled, but said nothing. "Sit," she finally said. And showed me a spot next to her. "There's so much I need to tell you, but that'll be after the movie."I locked my eyes in hers, and wore a questioning look. "Hm," I blurted. "I guess I can wait till then." As I was about to settle down, my eyes caught a disturbing figure. He had seemed to walk past us quite quickly, I couldn't say for sure if my eyes had seen correctly. Deciding not to burden myself with thoughts of him, I turned to Olivia. "
Chapter 12Jane's POV"You're evil!" Nothing else could come from my lips, other than those words. "You're a hypocrite, in fact. And you love to play the innocent one. Olivia, you cannot deny the fact that I like Adrian. Are you claiming you don't know? He's all over you and you're letting him..." I had more to say, but her calm voice interrupted. And tears had choked me so much, I paused to swallow. Using my face towel to dab on my face."Jane!" She was not upset by any of what I had said, which was proof that she was guilty. And if she was upset, she hid it. She was probably getting ready to tell me lies."What?" I yelled in response, cleaning off the tears that escaped. "Drop me here, Olivia. I'm so done with this conversation. And with you. Please stop this car, I'm alighting here.""Jane, those messages are not from Adrian." She was still calm as she spoke, smiling through the fight. "Check the photo on the profile, that's not Adrian's, or is it?"I checked the guy's display phot
Chapter 13 Adrian's POV I slung my Nike backpack over my shoulder, the familiar swoosh logo glaring back at me. Ready to hit the basketball court, which is also my sanctuary from this chaos, I went towards the dining room, expecting solitude. The door, slightly open, creaked as I pushed it wider, revealing Jane engrossed in her books. My eyes narrowed, irritation bubbling beneath the surface. "Jane, seriously? Why can't you study in your own room?" She looked up, eyes kind of dim, her sweatshirt slightly rumpled. "I need a quiet place, and your room is never quiet." I scoffed, glancing around the room adorned with white furniture. "Whatever. Just don't get in my way." She met my hostility with a smirk, her MacBook open beside her. "Not everyone can afford the luxury of a personal basketball court, Adrian." My fists clenched, suppressing the anger. "Don't act like you know anything about me." She sighed, closing her Classics book. "Adrian, we're…we're family now. Maybe it's t
Jane POV“Come on you lovebirds, you're going to be late for school.” I heard mum yell from the door.After the talk with our parents last night, Adrian asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. It still feels like a dream, Adrian is the hottest bad boy in school and he actually likes me, he's willing to date and be with a nerd like me.He may be my step brother but who doesn't like a little taboo romance.I felt Adrian tickle my sides and I couldn't help but laugh,"That tickled Adrian."A mischievous smirk appeared on his face, "Did it now? How about this?"He flipped us over and began to tickle my stomach. I erupted into a fit of laughter and squirmed underneath him. I'm sure my cheeks were turning red and my eyes were filling with tears. But only this time, they were full of happiness."A-A-Adrian stop. I can't breathe." I was gulping for air and Adrian decided to stop my torture and let me have a rest. He got off from on top of me and sat beside me on the bed.A large smile
Adrian POV.Seeing that my cock was starting move in and out ofher easily, I had to keep my word. I pulled myself upand turned her around roughly. She gasped at the way my demeanor suddenly changed. I made her spread her legs and arch her back for me. Her round ass looked inviting in that position.I took my cock in my hand and guided it toward her wet hole and shoved it all in, in one stroke. She moaned again but quickly put her own hand over her mouth.I grabbed a decent amount of her hair and used it to pull her closer to me as I pounded her perfect pussy. I licked her neck and her ear causing her to moan my name softly, "Adrian please," She pleaded.My mouth was directly over her ear, "Do you like it when I fuck you like my little slut Jane?""Yes""You enjoy taking your step brother's cock in your tight little pussy, don't you?"She bit down her bottom lip before letting the dirty words leave her mouth, "I love it! I love feeling my step brother's big cock deep inside my pussy
Jane POV.He pulled me by my arm and guided me towards the other side of school. He led me to one of the classrooms in what we called the 'dungeon'.I had no idea how he even knew about that place, he had only been at Blue Horizon for a few years and not everyone knows about this.The dungeon was a downstairs part of the school that was once used for art classes but after a new art department was built, they were all kinda abandoned but still well maintained.We went into the first room then he closed the door.I felt nervous because I knew exactly why he tookme there. He pulled me into him by my waist, lifted me up and placed me on top of a desk."Im going to fuck you so hard Jane."He buried his lips on my neck and grabbed my boob over my school shirt. His tongue licked my skin while his fingers rubbed the most sensitive part of my nipple. A moan escaped my mouth as I shamelessly enjoyed my stepbrother's touch.My legs parted for him as I felt myself wanting more, "Touch me," I p
Jane POV His eyes turned darker and he let out a huff of breath. Adrian released my hair a little, "If I ever hurt you, stop or squeeze my thighs." I nodded again and looked down, I was now eye-length with his length. I moved my wet hair back and placed my hands around it. I had no idea what I was supposed to do but I must be doing something right as Adrian's head fell back onto the wall and he moaned. I stuck out my tongue and licked the tip of it. The white liquid was sweet but had a salty tang to it, I really liked the taste. I licked his whole length and then put it further into my mouth and Adrian moaned more. His grip on my hair tightened and I moaned a little while it was still in my mouth. I traveled my tongue on his veins and began to move my head up and down. The bit I couldn't fit in my mouth I used my hands on it. I twisted them fast and squeezed him. It was easy to move them because of the water that was making us wet.I looked up at Adrian and he was already lookin
Adrian POV.When I woke up, I could feel Jane grinding against me softly. Her hips were moving and she had her cheek pressed to my chest. I could feel that I was really hard, damn morning. I had to stop myself from moaning. This girl. She was making my body heat up all over again, she was still naked and so was I.Last night was amazing, the way she begged me to fuck her made me even more turned on. I wanted to go gently because she hadn't had sex in a long time but when she's literally begging me to fuck her harder Icouldn't. That fact that she actually says dirty words it's a turn too. She hardly swears,like she only swears if she's angry or upset, but last night I guess she couldn't stop herself from swearing. I liked that side of her. She looked innocent but in bed she was a little sexy vixen, her pussy felt amazing, the way her walls tightened around me made me fuck herharder. Her moans were like music to my ears, I could hear them for the rest of eternity and intend too a
He smiled down at me lovingly and then began to move slowly. It was a bit uncomfortable at first due to me not having an action for a while, but soon it felt amazing. I gripped his shoulders and squeezed them, he went faster and I leaned my head back a little. I scraped my fingers down his back. Adrian moaned in my ear and leaned down to my boobs, he grabbed one of them in his hands and sucked on the nipple. I arched my back on the bed and shoved my boob further in his face. I moved my hips with his and spread my legs further."Harder daddy. Please fuck me harder daddy." I didn't know where all this cursing came from, I don't usually curse and if I do it's when I'm angry. But I just couldn't stop myself, I have no control over what comes out of my mouth when Adrian is making me feel as good as I am right now.Adrian used his hand to grip my hands and pin them above my head, he used his other hand to grip my neck. I could feel him going harder and I moanedlouder. The bed was hit
Jane POVAdrian held my hand and led me up the stairs."Where are you taking me?" I asked nervously as I studied the tattoos on his back."To my room."I couldn't help but feel anxious, I was about to have sex with my step brother. The guy that was supposed to be my elder brother? I felt like I was in a trance and I had completely lost my mind.I can't believe he really likes me, he likes me. I felt like screaming on the top of my voice in excitement, I wondered why he didn't tell me sooner.Next thing I knew I was laying on my back on Adrian's bed and he was hovering on top of me. "Is it okay if I kiss you again?" he asked.It was. I wanted him to kiss me more than anythingbut instead my mouth said something else, "What if I don't satisfy you or you don't enjoy it?“You're a fish, let me worry about that.” He said before taking my lips in his, he kissed me so sweetly and tenderly, I couldn't help melt against him.Adrian's hand traveled to my panties and he slowly pulled them down a
Adrian POVI could feel myself begin to get hard, my shorts got tighter and by how Janesped up I'm sure she could feel it. I don't think she necessarily realized what it was she was grinding on.She disconnected her lips from mine and threw her head back while softly moaning and whimpering. I wasn't done though, I attacked her neck with kisses and she continued to grind against me.I hooked my fingers in the joggers she was wearing and slowly slid them down her legs. I wanted to make sure she felt the most of it and there are way too many layers between us. So ,if I have to be in my undergarments, so does she. She didn't try to stop meneither. I threw them behind me on the couch."A-Adrian." She moaned and she sped up again,the sound of her moaning my name made me growl. I nipped her ear and then started to kiss around, trying to fìnd her sweet spot. As I hit a certain place just below her jaw and ear, a loud moan filtered from her mouth. She slapped her hand over it and looked at
Adrian POV“What no, eww?” Jane exclaimed, moving away from me.“What? It's not like it's a big deal?Jane looked at me blankly, “you ate a raw fish because you were dared to, how was that not a big deal?”“Well I was young and stupid. You can't really blame me.” I said while turning more alcohol in my glass.Jane and I decided to play twenty questions and so far, she has honestly surprised me. She has such an adventurous spirit and I was shocked with her answers.“What about you? What's your embarrassing moment?” I asked.“Well, that would be when my mum caught touching myself.”I couldn't help but spit out the alcohol from my mouth and burst out laughing. In all my years, I could never have believed that she could do that. She has more balls that let's go.“Stop laughing fool, it was embarrassing, I couldn't look at her for a week.” She looked down shyly, biting her nails.” She was also using it against me and constantly too, she thought it was funny” “Well technically it was actua
