ELIZABETH.

James moves away from me so fast and I press my hand to my mouth to push back the sound that threatens to fall.

"James. You’re still here?" It’s Gabriel’s voice and I immediately remove my hand from my mouth when I hear him getting closer, and shut my eyes instead.

"Yeah. Still here, trying to finish the movie." James laughs and Gabriel whispers something I didn’t catch.

"There it is. Oh, I think Elizabeth fell asleep."

God, this is so awkward.

"Yeah. Don’t worry about her. I’ll get her to bed." I hear James say and Gabriel speaks again. "Alright. Have a great night, son."

"You too, Dad." There’s silence and then the sound of receding footsteps. I open one eye first to make sure it’s safe before I open the other and I meet James’ gaze.

Immediately our eyes meet, we both break into a laugh and he presses a finger to his lips for me to keep it down. He grabs the remote and turns the volume a notch up before he falls back on me, and I let out another laugh.

    ELIZABETH. "Mind if I join you?" Louis drops his tray of food on my table with a smile on his face as he takes the seat across from me. A seat that’s meant to be James’s, but he hasn’t shown up for lunch. "Yeah. Sure. Why not? Make yourself comfortable." I tell him as I glance around the cafeteria once again in search of a certain black-haired with a pretty face. I don’t see him. "Are you waiting for someone? James?" Louis asks, retracting my attention back to him and I nod as I shift in my seat. "He should be here by now." "Must be busy." He says as he throws a chip in his mouth and I nod. "Indeed." I stare down at my door, uninterestingly grabbing my nugget to take a bite. "So…" Louis speaks as I wipe the corner of my mouth and I lift a brow. "So?" He smiles. "I’m still waiting for my answer. I was thinking I could take you this weekend." "Oh." I mumble, remembering I still haven’t decided if I want to go on another date with him or not. Especially after things have gotten c

    JAMES.Elizabeth’s body trembles a little as my fingers slide in and out of her wetness, and I let out a groan at the painful strain of my hard-on against my pants; my cock begging to be let out and given attention.Her moans are muffled against the palm I have clasped on her mouth, though I wish I could hear them. She sounds so seductive when she’s being pleasured. So vulnerable and so needy.I know she’s close to climax when she starts to lose control of her hold on the wall, and I chase after that despite the voices coming from outside, warning us that our chances of getting caught are increasing dangerously. And maybe that’s exactly what makes this even hotter.The risk. The Adrenaline rush that pushes through your veins at that slight chance of everything going totally wrong. I’ve always wanted to feel that. I’ve always loved doing things I know I shouldn’t, and maybe that’s why I felt something spark in me the moment Elizabeth’s lips touched mine.The moment she gazed upon me li

    ELIZABETH. "Hi, Elizabeth!" Janet greets me with a small wave and I try my best to appear polite as I wave back. "I’ll be back," James says as he turns to walk out the door with her. Immediately they’re gone. Mom turns to me. "You know her?" "Yeah. She goes to my school." "Do you think—" "I’ll be in my room, Mom." I cut her off, grabbing my bag as I stand from the couch. I walk up the stairs and stride into my room, throwing my bag on the bed. She was at school and now she’s here. She’s definitely up to something. I sigh as I fall back on my bed, sluggishly removing my clothes. I’m on my socks when the door to my room suddenly opens and James walks in. "Hey," He utters as he stops before me and I lift my head. "Hi." His eyes dart to my chest that’s only clad in my black bra and I immediately grab my covers to shield myself from his gaze. James chuckles and I clear my throat. "Janet was here?" "Yeah. For school. She needed some more info." "Since when did you become the sch

    JAMES. "Hey, what are you—" My jaw almost drops as I enter Elizabeth’s room to see her standing in the middle. She turns to me. "James." I don’t respond as my eyes go down her body, almost drooling at the sight. She’s dressed in a bandana crop top with strips and high-waisted blue jeans that highlight her thin waist. Her long black shiny hair is pulled back in a bun and her lashes seem longer than usual. Jesus Christ, she’s looking so damn sexy. Has Elizabeth always been this sexy? Have I been blind all this while? I know my best friend is a pretty girl. An extremely beautiful one who also happens to have an insane body shape that goes well with her height, but I’ve never realized how alluring she truly is. My eyes are just opening to what’s before me and I’m truly shaken. Fuck, all I want to do right now is walk up to her, wrap my hands around that slender waist, and kiss her senses away. "Do you need something?" Elizabeth asks, pulling me out of my immoral thoughts about her a

    LOUIS. I remove my hand from her face and stand before her after spreading her legs over the couch. This is my opportunity to finally get what I want. My brother’s words ring in my ears as I stand before a sleeping Elizabeth. 'You like this girl so much? Then knock her up. She wouldn’t be able to continue resisting after that. Trust me, I know one’s like her.' I lick my lips and wipe my sweaty palms together. This is it, Louis. You shouldn’t mess this up. "I’m so sorry." I mumble as I undo the first two buttons of my pants. When I first saw Elizabeth at that party, I knew I had to have her. I don’t know what it is that drew me to her, but the more I learn about her, the stronger my feelings grow. And ironically, it seems the more she learns about me, the more she pulls away. Perhaps not intentionally, but I’ve tried really hard to chase her. Prove my worth. Show her she’s the only one I want until I’m left with no choice but this; take her myself. I had mixed her drink with some

    ELIZABETH.I lift my head to James, and he smirks at me as he raises his mug."Oh. That’s amazing news." I finally speak as I turn to Mom and she smiles, turning to grin at Gabriel."We’ve thought about it for a while and realized this is the best time for it.""Where are you guys going?" I ask, shifting my attention to James as he strides into the kitchen."Hawaii. Gabriel already has everything ready." Mom tells me, and I drop my gaze back on her."Alright. I’m, um… happy you guys get to do this." I’m not sure what you’re supposed to say when your mother reveals she’s going on a honeymoon with her new husband."Thank you, Elizabeth. Before we leave, though, we need to make sure you guys can take care of yourselves while we’re gone." All eyes turn to James, who walks back into the room."Of course we are. We’re not kids." James laughs as he settles on one of the chairs."No going out late…" Mom narrows her eyes at me as she speaks the words and Gabriel turns to James to say. "And no

    ELIZABETH. My eyes flutter open and I let out a quiet yawn before turning on my side to see James sleeping peacefully with one hand behind his head and the other draped over his stomach. I haven’t been to my room since our parents left yesterday. We joked around in the living room, played in the kitchen before we retired to his, then kissed each other like it’s the last thing we’ll do on this earth on his bed. We kissed till our lips were bruised and we couldn’t feel each other mouth anymore and our bodies tire out. Then I fell asleep in his arms. It’s just a night without our parents, but everything is already amazing. I smile and extend my hand, then press my face against it as I listen to the small, almost silent sounds that leave his mouth. My gaze darts to his lips and I extend my other hand to his mouth; my thumb caressing his lower lip. He must have felt the touch because his body jerks a bit, a grumble leaving his mouth before the rhythm of him sound asleep follows. I let

    ELIZABETH. "I take it as you’re in a good mood if you’re smiling to yourself?" I shut my locker to reveal Louis leaning against the next, and I chuckle. "You can say I am." "Something good happened?" He asks and I shrug. "Not exactly. I just happen to be in a good spirit today." "Hm. If you say so, Elizabeth." He smirks, and I roll my eyes before I part my lips. "What are you doing here?" "Thought we’d walk to the next class together." He smiles as he waves his language notebook in my face and I hum, pushing mine to my chest as I click on the lock to my locker. "There’s a party tonight? Do you want to come with me?" Louis asks as he steps to my side while we stroll down the busy hallway. "No, I’ve got plans." One I’ll enjoy too much. "Oh. I guess it’s just me then." He lets out a short laugh. There’s a second silence before he speaks again. "Also, do you think you can tutor me in chem later? I’m having trouble with some topics." "Ask the teacher. Or just get a private tutor." I

    ELIZABETH.—TWO MONTHS LATER.Miley is saying something about organizing a party for my birthday, but I’m not paying attention as my gaze runs along the words on my screen, my left palm pressed to my cheek. As if she’s right here with me and knows I’m not listening, her voice booms through the speaker, "Elizabeth? You’re not listening to me, are you?"I gaze at the phone on the desk, and the screen reads for fifteen minutes. I think I stopped paying attention around five minutes, but I still lie and say, "Of course I am.""What were my last words?""You were saying…" I trail off and there’s silence on her side. "… something about Darcy and a party.""Elizabeth!" I can imagine the frown on her face as she calls my name and I chuckle, finally grabbing the phone as I lean back in my chair. "Sorry, I’m just busy with work. I really don’t want a party, Mile.""Are you leaving for James?"I purse my lips, a small wave of sadness hitting me and my voice is small when I answer, "No. He’s busy,

    ELIZABETH.—FOUR YEARS LATER.I’m nervous.My harsh breathing fills the tiny space of the car and I rub my palms together before I look out the window with my heart racing in my chest.Everything goes past me in a blur. Houses, shops and restaurants. And the closer the car gets me to him, the faster my heart pounds; so loud that I can no longer hear the words the driver is uttering to me.I don’t know why I’m this nervous.Actually, I do. I haven’t seen him in almost a year. It shouldn’t be any big deal since we speak occasionally over the phone; video calls, voice calls, texts. We tried to remain close in every way possible and although I had tried hard to convince myself those were more than enough; I knew they couldn’t compare to seeing him with my naked eyes. Like I’m about to do very soon.I’ve been counting down the days until I’ll stand before James and now that it’s come, I can’t help the nervousness that spikes through me. Along with a tiny fear. I don’t want it to be there, b

  • My Stepbrother   NOTE!

    Hello loves,First, I’d love to thank you all for being so patient with me on this book. Despite the long gap between the updates and my disappearance, you still waited patiently for James and Elizabeth’s story and no words can describe how thankful I am to have you all. I won’t lie; I wasn’t so sure I’d be able to find the excitement I felt when I first started this book again because I was away from the characters for so long. But I did. I found the spark I had from the beginning and I enjoyed the time I spent writing this book. Thank you all so much for pushing me and forcing me out—though some comments were harsh, I still appreciate them all haha.Now to my updating schedule.It’s been a mess, hasn’t it? I know there’s been too much gap between my updates and you might not believe me when I say this, but I hate missing frequent/daily updates just as much as y’all do. It makes me less disciplined and incompetent when I don’t write as much as I plan to and I especially hate disappoin

    ELIZABETH.~A MONTH LATER.We stayed in San Francisco for a week and only left after Lily’s discharge. When we got back to Los Angeles, I could still tell everything that happened back there took a toll on James. Although he tried to hide it, tried to smile more; it was evident everything he learned from his parents had taken something from him and I was scared for a long time he’d never get that back.But he did… or at least he’s trying.His eyes are no longer as dull as they seemed when we first arrived, and I can see the spark in them. Each of the smiles he throws at me now is genuine and he spends less time trying to hide the pain he feels. He’s being himself again—he’s being my James, and he’s back to me.I haven’t felt as at ease as I did six nights ago when he woke me up in the middle of the night and just laid his head on my chest as he cried in my arms. He poured out his pain to me one last time and since then, he can speak about his mom without looking like it’s the last thin

    ELIZABETH.James' brows crease at Gabriel’s words, and I squeeze my hand in his as my heart pounds in my chest."What? What are you talking about?" James asks and Gabriel shakes his head, a sad look in his eyes. "I’m sorry, son. She left.""What do you mean, she left?" James' voice raises higher and Gabriel swallows, "I was just—she was here when I arrived. She was asleep, and I just went to the reception to settle the bills and make some inquiries, but when I got back; she was gone. And your sister was crying. She said Zara left and said to not look for her."I feel my heart breaks in my chest for both of them and James' grip on my hand gets increasingly tighter till it starts to hurt but I don’t pull away. He remains silent and just stares at the man before us—who looks just as shaken by the revelation."I’m so sorry, I didn’t—""No." James voices out now and his tight grip starts to loosen. I hear him exhale before he says, "It’s good she left, and like you said; she doesn’t want t

    JAMES."I thought you left," Elizabeth sighs in my arms, her grip around me growing tighter and I smile as I finally drop a hand on her back, pressing her closer to me. "And where would I go, love?"She pulls back by a bit so she can look into my eyes and her lips push out as she speaks. "I don’t know. I just thought—""Thought I’d run from you?" I finish for her and when she doesn’t respond, I lean down to take her lips. It’s meant to be just a soft reassuring peck, but Elizabeth moves her hands to my neck, deepening the kiss as her fingers play with the hair at the back of my head and I move a hand to her cheek, tilting her head back so I can plunge my tongue inside her mouth.She cups my neck with a palm, her fingers digging into the skin as she moans into the kiss and I move my free hand to the small of her back; I rest it on her ass as my tongue clashes against hers, heat spreading across my skin at the taste and feel of her.When I feel my pants tightening at the front, I start t

    ELIZABETH.He doesn’t stop sobbing as he clings onto me as though he’s afraid he’d drift away if he doesn’t and with each loud cry that leaves his mouth, a piece of my heart breaks for him.I can feel the anguishing pain with each sound that leaves him, and his body shakes in my embrace. I let out a soft exhale as tears roll down my cheeks while I continue to slide a hand down his back, whispering soft promises I’ll do anything to keep. "You’ll be fine, baby. You’re alright. I’m here. I’m here with you."We stay in the position for what feels like long and after a while, his sobs quiet down, but he doesn’t move away from me, his breath hot on my neck and I swallow through the tightness of my throat. "I’m always here with you."The sound of our breathing echoes through the corners of the room and James starts to pull back. He removes his arms from around me but I keep the one hand on the back of his neck as I lift my gaze to stare at him. His eyes are red as he holds my gaze, and I giv

    ELIZABETH.I run after him with my heart breaking for him, but he’s just too fast. He dashes through corners quickly before I can even catch up to him, but I don’t stop chasing after him, either.I know this must be too much for him, but I just want to be there for him. I want him to know someone hurts for him. But he doesn’t wait for me to do either of those things.When I rush out the entrance door and stop only a few steps away with my heart pounding in my chest and my eyes scanning the corners, I don’t see him.I don’t see James.The car is here, but he isn’t. He left. He ran without me.I push a hand through my hair before taking out my phone from the back pocket of the pants I have on—his pants. My pulse is racing as I press the phone to my ear after dialing his number, and it rings. It rings and my purse vibrates, reminding me that he left his phone with me on our way here.God, James. Please. Please, just be alright. Don’t do anything stupid and be fucking alright.Please.Drea

    JAMES.Everything else shatters around me as I stare at her with disbelief coursing through my veins, wanting more than anything for her to take back those words—to tell me this is some kind of sick joke.She doesn’t.Instead, her tears fall even more as she proceeds to say, "I’m so sorry, Gabriel. I didn’t mean to—" a sob breaks out, and she shuts her eyes tightly. When she opens them again, they’re so red that it’s hard to act like she doesn’t know what she’s speaking about. She does. Oh God, she does."What are you saying, Zara?" Dad’s quiet voice comes, no doubt he’s as frightened as I am. "James is my son. He’s always been. He’s been from his birth, so why are you—""He isn’t." She insists, and I gulp down the bitterness that’s quickly rising in my throat. My hand shakes in hers and I quickly let go, fisting my hands in the fabric of my pants to try to stop the trembling. "I cheated. Years back. I was married to you, but I was in love with someone else.""Zara…""I’m sorry. I kno
