"Let's get this over with," I muttered under my breath and followed my girls to a booth, while trying desperately to ignore the turning in my stomach.
If I had a choice, I wouldn't be sitting in the midst of these girls who had dared me to find a stranger and make out with him. But I lived a boring life and my best friend, Ivory, had suggested that this could be the fun I had always been looking for.
As soon as we sat down, I immediately regretted listening to her. We had barely sat down when my girls started looking around the room, trying to pick the best guy for me to make out with.
I stared at them in disgust. How could they be excited by the idea of making out with a stranger? I prayed silently for the alcohol to arrive and as soon as it did, I down every drop of mine and even drank Ivory's own. If I was going to do this, I was not going to do it with sober eyes.
Still, the alcohol did not stop my feelings of anxiety from going on a rampage and at a point I felt like hurling my entire guts out.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom!" I stood up dizzily and announced strongly.
"I'm coming with you," Ivory said and followed me. Probably to make sure that I don't run away. I sighed loudly and walked away with her.
I didn't waste much time in the bathroom and I left silently, without letting Ivory know.
I tiptoed and slowly opened the bathroom door. I had almost escaped the scene when I bumped into something hard. It smelt like oak mixed with vanilla and it had a faint scent of aftershave. I looked up slowly, curious to see the kind of door I had run into when my eyes met with the most captivating blue eyes I have ever seen.
"Damn!" The words left my lips before I could even notice and the man standing before me smiled. As soon as I saw his brazing white teeths, I almost fell to the floor. Fortunately, he was as quick as he was handsome and he held me up.
His arms were strong and I got a strange feeling of satisfaction and security in them.
"Are you okay?" He said and I drooled at how deep and soothing his voice was.
"Yes. I am now." I said, blushing. "You know, you are very handsome." I knew it was definitely the alcohol talking because I would never say such a thing to a stranger.
"Well, you don't look so bad yourself," he said and I blushed even harder.
"Can you please kiss me?" I asked and I did not even get a chance to take my words back because he suddenly covered my lips with his and I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"Ohh!" The sound of my best friend standing behind us made us pull apart and I hid my face in his shirt, not desperate to allow my best friend to see me blushing so hard.
"Do you mind if we go back to my hotel room?" The man I had suddenly found safety in said and I did not say no.
He held my hands and took me outside to where his car was parked. He had a driver and I immediately knew that he was rich but I did not care about that. I wanted to be under this man, screaming in pleasure.
He did not wait for us to even get to his hotel room. He couldn't keep his hands off me and we savored every part of each other from the car to the hotel room. I did not know this man but I gladly gave him my virginity because he sparked a flame in me that no man ever did before.

The sound of my phone ringing woke me up and I sluggishly picked it up to see a call from my mom.
"Where the hell are you?!" She screamed as soon as I answered.
"Mom," my voice was very low but mom must have been too worried that I would miss her party to notice.
"I told you that today is when we are meeting my husband and his son and you are not here by this time. Where the hell are you?"
"I'm on my way," was all I said before I ended the call. I turned to look at the man sleeping next to me. He looked like one of those top paying models I usually see in magazines, but I knew that someone like him would never go for someone like me. He looked like a silver fox and I decided that when I told the story to my friends, that is what I would call him.
To spare myself the humiliation of getting thrown out, I snuck out and went over to my mother's. I arrived just in time to freshen up and set up the table for the breakfast that my mom had prepared to introduce her new husband and his son to her daughter.
We were just adding finishing touches when we heard the doorbell.
"That must be them. Behave yourself!" Mom warn me and walked away to meet her guest.
From the dining table, I could hear their voices but I made no move to go and meet them. I wasn't particularly happy about my mother's new man and I waited patiently till they came to meet us.
As soon as they walked in, my heart stopped beating.
"Silver fox," I muttered to myself as I watched the man that had made me feel like a woman a few hours ago standing in my dining room.
"Olivia, meet my husband Xavier and his son, your step brother, Daniel."
"What?" I said softly, ignoring the grin that was plastered on Daniel's face.
"Yeah and I have more exciting news for you." Mom said, ignorant of my uncomfortable look.
"Since you guys are going to the same college, my husband and I have decided to get the same penthouse for both of you to live-in together!" She announced and my eyes widened with fear as I looked at Daniel, whose smile frightened me the most.
It was going to be a long school year.
"No," I muttered under my breath as I watched the man that had me screaming in pleasure a few hours ago stand in front of me with a smile on his face. "Olivia, don't just stand there, greet them," my mom said violently and I immediately greeted."Good morning sir." "Oh no, call me Xavier and one day, I hope you will be comfortable enough to call me dad." I could see why my mom had agreed to marry a man she had just met five months ago. Just like Daniel, his father was a sight to behold. He had gray hair, a sharp and admirable face and a muscular body. Everything about him looked dream worthy and it all made sense to me. "Olivia, why don't you go bring the food from the kitchen? I am sure our guest must be starving." Mom asked and all I could do was nod. I was still shocked that I had slept with my step brother. This had to be an abomination and I was sure mom would never forgive me if she found out.Rushing to the kitchen, I heaved a sigh of relief and I stood there to decide tha
The next morning, as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Daniel sitting at the counter with a serious look on his face and I immediately felt stupid. "Of course, he is the one who did all this. And I was stupid enough to believe that he was a good person." I said to myself and angrily walked up to him. "Daniel!" I screamed while walking towards him. "Oh Olivia, thank God you are awake." He said before I could even get close to him. "Look at what I found lying on my bed when you left." He said and showed me a note.It was the same as the one I saw last night as well and it had the same picture as well. "Do not think for one second that I believe this act you are trying to put together. You did all these, didn't you?" I accused him. "What?" "I don't want to hear it but if you know what is good for you, then stay far away from me and delete these pictures." I said angrily and walked out of the house. ***We decided to go to school and ignore the eerie events of this morning and w
I was silent throughout our drive back to our penthouse but my heart was beating so fast, I was afraid that he could hear it. So many different thoughts ran through my mind. I remember vividly how I felt being held against his hard body. I could feel my hands trembling as I thought about it.I stole a glance at Daniel and his face was hard, as if he was angry and while he brooded in his anger, I took the time to admire his features. The man was handsome. The kind of beauty that would make any woman wet just at the sight and smell of him and he smelled like oak wood mixed with vanilla. He smelled delicious. My eyes moved to his lips and I yearned to touch it with mine. Unconsciously, I licked my lips as I thought of what it would feel like to kiss his and what it would taste like. 'No Olivia, this is not right,' I whispered under my breathe as he drove to our home and I tried to fight the feelings that were rising in me because just being so close to him was torture. "Someone's foll
DANIEL'S POVI was oozing with so much joy. Finally, Olivia was mine. I could not believe it. She was finally falling for my tricks and soon, when I was done with my plans, she will be at my mercy. My plan was simple.Make her suffer for all the pains her mom had caused mine. I was going to make sure that she did not escape my wrath. Because of her and what her mother did, my father left my mother and made the woman very sad. I could still remember promising my mom that I will do everything in my power to ensure that that woman suffered the same pains as my mother and I was not joking about it.Immediately I saw Olivia being introduced to me at that dinner as my step sister, the perfect idea came to my mind. I would make her fall head over heels in love with me and then when she least expected it, I would leave her just the same way my father left my mom because of her mother. I was so sure that seeing her daughter in so much pain would ruin the woman and may even make her leave
"Olivia, come on open up!" I could hear him banging on my door but my heart was already too broken to care. I squeezed my eyes some more as I thought of how foolish I actually was. Of course he was playing with my emotions. Of course he was not going to love me. Of course I was just a stupid girl who wanted more than she could have."Stupid and weak," I muttered to myself as I buried my face in my pillow and screamed, hoping that my screams will be muffled out.And they were. But Daniel did not stop knocking"Olivia, please let me explain. It's just an expensive joke between me and Stacy. You can't take this personally.""Daniel just fucking leave me alone!" I screamed at him hoping that he would leave and maybe then I would be able to steady my breathing. All I needed was to time to myself, some time to convince myself that I was not losing my mind even though it seemed like I was. The banging on my door stopped but I could still feel him there. Leaning on it. I imagined he had
Daniel's POV"What are you waiting for?" I growled at her but she still did not move. For a moment, I felt she was drowning in fear, maybe I had taken it too far with her.But I was still too mad to allow regrets to fill my eyes. I still could not stomach the fact that everything I was working on was about to be ruined because of her silly mistake. "Stacy!" I said as I shook her, trying to jolt her back to reality but the girl was already too far gone. Or so I thought. Suddenly, I felt her legs inbetween my thighs and she aimed it directly to my balls. "Ah!" I said as I winched in pains and suddenly let go of her. My sight was blurry from the pain I felt down there and she used that opportunity to run away. I could not see how far she had gone because I collapsed on the floor still groaning from pains.The pains shot up to my brain and I immediately felt like I may die. I had heard of how mind numbing this pain is but I never thought I would testify to it. I could not think,
"If I were you, I would stay very still." The low growl of the man who held my hands tightly resonated through my entire body and I froze. Even the scream that was about to come out of my mouth somehow found its way back into my throat. "Very good," he whispered into my ears as he gently stroked my hair and I shivered in fear. "Olivia!" Suddenly Ivy's voice rang out from my laptop and I could sense that she was worried. "Now princess, this is what you are going to do. You will put on a brave face, go to that laptop and you will tell your friend that you thought you saw a mouse and that was why you screamed. You will also tell her that you will get back to her later that you have something very important to do. Is that clear?" His voice was calm and I would have easily concluded that he meant no harm to me but the coldness of the knife tracing the outline of my neck reminded me that he was not my friend. "Okay," I said softly but that was not enough for him because suddenly he pla
I could not help the smile that laced my face as I saw the man who threatened to kill me few seconds ago, running around my room trying to find a way to escape. I know that he must have known Daniel and how ruthless he could be and it was obvious that he was very much afraid of him. Because if he wasn't, why didn't he still stand behind me and try to threaten Daniel using my life as hostage?It was either that or he knew who Daniel was and Daniel knew who he was as well. Using my eyes, I tried to find the key in my room. I would not be able to explain to Daniel who this man was but if Daniel knew who he was already, it would be easier for us to capture him and ensure that he did not come anywhere close to me again. All that would only be possible if I was able to find the key and open the door before he dashed out. Fortunately for me, Daniel opened the door just in time."Oh Daniel, thank God you are here." I sighed in relief as I ran to hug him His chest offered the comfort and
