One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! TWENTY-SIX: (STEP) BROTHER.
BRITNEY ASTON Staring at my reflection in the mirror, a contented sigh escaped my lips. I was dressed in a red gown hugging my body, showing off my curves and reminding me why red was my favourite color. I had to admit, it did justice to my skin tone and combined with the light make up I had on, made me look pretty okay. With a nod, I hoped I wasn’t over flattering myself, desperately hoping I looked okay in Travis’ eyes too. I had to. I just had to. Shifting my gaze from the mirror, I glanced at the wall clock noticing it was already past 7pm. Travis and I were supposed to leave by 7 and after suggesting I went to the party with him, the last thing i wanted was for him to be late all because of me. Giving my reflection in the mirror a final quick glance, I grabbed my purse and my phone and dashed out of my room. Hitting the stairs immediately, I ran downstairs, spotting him the second I hit the ground floor. “Oh, there you are.” “Travis,” I breathed out as he turned around to
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! TWENTY-SEVEN: TRUTH OR DARE.
BRITNEY ASTON Lucas was Amber’s brother. “Crap,” I cursed under my breath, the realization hitting me like a punch in my guts. I could finally understand why things seemed so complicated. It was slowly making sense. Lucas was Amber’s brother and Amber was Travis’ favorite plaything. It only made sense Travis and Lucas weren’t each other’s favorite. “Britney?” Before I could fully process everything going on, I heard Lucas call out my name. “I didn’t think I’d see you here. I was going to invite you myself but I texted you and um, didn’t get a response.” “What? Oh, I’m sorry,” I hung my head as I replied, noticing how all eyes were suddenly darted in my directions. “I didnt realize you texted me.” “Do you mind right now?” He spoke up again, pushing me to finally raise my head to meet his gaze. His eyes were cold as he spoke and I could tell how uncomfortable he was. “You’re not busy right now, are you? Can we talk for a sec-“ “What do you mean?” Amber suddenly interrupted, movin
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! TWENTY EIGHT: DARE OR TRUTH.
TRAVIS LEWIS “I dare you to kiss Britney.” My jaw clenched in an instant, every single bone in my body stiffening as Amber uttered her dare to Lucas so carelessly. The tension that suddenly filled the air was undeniable to everyone seated, every single person knowing the gravity of what was to come. For Amber, it was probably another of her jokes. One targeted at erupting emotions from every one of us. And if that was her goal, she succeeded at it perfectly. “Now this seems exciting.” “Come on, it’s just a kiss.” I glared at Justin as he made his comment, watching him immediately press his lips against each other. It was just a kiss? Just a kiss with Lucas? “Are you going to do it or-“ I looked at Lucas, watching him shift in his seat. With an arched brow, I watched him turn towards Britney, his palms suddenly fidgety on his thigh. Just what the fuck was he thinking? Britney on the other hand, remained glued in her seat, her eyes on the cups on the table. I could tell how
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! TWENTY-NINE: FEELINGS, EMOTIONS.
BRITNEY ASTON I stormed out of the party, fuming with nowhere in particular to go in mind. All I knew was I had to leave. Leave that place, that surrounding, that atmosphere- fast. I knew Lucas was right behind me but I couldn’t care any less. Reading the room, he knew better than to have his arm around my shoulder remain there for another second the moment Travis was out of sight. It was like he knew I wanted to be alone at that moment but still couldn’t help but follow me like a helpless puppy. “Britney, wait up. Where are you going?” His words were oddly enough to get me to pause my steps for a while, immediately taking in deep breaths. Realizing I was in the process of calming down, he walked towards me, placed a hand on my shoulder and raised my head so I could look at him directly in the eye. “Are you okay? Look I’m sorry about earlier okay?” He said, biting his lip in obvious remorse. “I wasn’t going to kiss you without your permission. I didn’t realize you’d get so uncom
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! THIRTY: PERFECT ESCAPE.
BRITNEY ASTON I woke up with a terrible headache, my memory foggy but at the same time clear enough to remind me of exactly how the previous night went. Shrugging the urge to do nothing but stay in bed away, I got up and dragged myself into the bathroom to take a shower. Stripping off the clothes from the night before, I caught the sight of Travis’ jacket by one corner of my room, begging me to pay attention to it and probably pick it from the ground. Again, ignoring that urge, I took my shower, returned to my room and opened my closet to get dressed. Going with a dark jeans and even darker colored shirt totally mirroring my state of mind, I grabbed my backpack, my almost dead phone and headed out of the room. It was a bit earlier than usual but that was exactly my plan- to leave the house before anyone woke up. Anyone, especially Travis. I didn’t want to see him and definitely didn’t want him offering to drive me to school. I didn’t even want to have to reject his offer, leavin
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! THIRTY-ONE: GOODBYES.
BRITNEY ASTON “Honey, are you sure about this?” I nodded, watching my mum shift gazes between me and the pamphlet in her hand, disbelief written all over her face. She had to believe it whether she wanted to or not though. As I was ready to go on the four day volunteering trip, my already packed bags serving as more than enough proof. “Okay I get it,” she continued, giving the pamphlet another glance. “If you were in high school, I’d understand you doing things like this for extra credit point but college? Honey, you’re new here too. Or oh, are you doing this to explore? Know more about the city.” “Uh, you can say that,” I nodded, knowing very well I didn’t have an explanation for her regarding why I was actually going. “Yeah, something like that. Besides, it’s an NGO. We’ll be um, helping the helpless people who um- need our help.” “Okay, I get that part,” she nodded slowly. “Okay okay fine I’ll allow you go. But do you have to leave immediately? And are you going alone?” “Ye
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! THIRTY-TWO: VOLUNTARY EMOTIONS.
BRITNEY ASTON Elle and I got to the pick up station in less than thirty minutes of driving from my place. We got our registrations confirmed, got our tickets numbers, our name tags and in after a busy shuffle of all the volunteers, we were all ushered into the bus, the ride beginning immediately. The drive to Hampshire took about 2 hours and every minute was spent with Elle and I talking about the most random things. Judging from how I left the house, I expected myself to be in a terrible mood through the ride but it turned out to be the complete opposite, Elle magically having the perfect words everytime she opened her mouth. We didn’t run out of words to say and at the same time, didn’t run out of snacks to munch on. Courtesy of the fridge at home, I had endless junk in my bag- definitely more than enough for a four day trip. By the time we got to the camp site, we got down from the bus, every single person onboard tired. It was in a good way though, the buzzing excitement
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! THIRTY-THREE: TEMPTING DISTRACTIONS.
BRITNEY ASTON Lucas: You up? Britney: Hi Britney: Yes, I am. Lucas: How are you? Lucas: Didn’t see you at school today so i was a bit worried. Lucas: Especially cause I haven’t seen you after the party… Lucas: Are you okay? Britney: Oh, yes I am. Britney: I’m fine. I went on this volunteering camp so you won’t be seeing me at school until next week. Lucas: Volunteering camp? The one at Hampshire? Britney: Yeah… Britney: You know about it? Lucas: Yup. A couple of friends talked about going. I was contemplating on going myself but eventually changed my mind. Lucas: If I knew you were going, I wouldn’t have changed my mind. Lucas: Sorry, did I make things weird? I just meant, i felt it would have been more fun with you around. Britney: Nah, you didn’t make things weird. Britney: I understand you. Me going was pretty much a last minute decision. I only told my mum the morning before I left. Lucas: LOL Lucas: How’s it going then? Fun? Fine? Just alrig

One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! EPILOGUE.
EPILOGUE “Britney, you’re going to be late for school!” Rosaline’s words pierced through the thin walls of the house, accompanied with Jack’s laughter as he scooped his breakfast into his plate, glancing at the empty seats that were supposed to be occupied by Travis and Britney. After a long summer break, it was finally time for Britney and Travis to return to school. The morning was unusually chaotic with Rosaline screaming at Britney over and over, travis parading the house in search of one thing or the other and the he and his wife, seated on the dining, impatiently waiting for their children to grace the table with their presence. A whole lot had changed during the last couple of weeks and jack dared to say, it was the best change that had ever happened in his life. “Hey, Rosaline,” Travis finally arrived, his eyebrows raised as he greeted rosaline in his familiar manner. “Dad. Good morning.” “Morning, sweetie,” Rosaline spoke up before anyone else could. “You’re here a
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN: DAD.
TRAVIS LEWIS I was skeptical, watching Britney leave with her mum. Especially after she announced my father’s wishes to talk to me privately. A part of me wanted to walk out of the living room but I had to quench it, reminding myself I’d promised to talk to him. I needed to have that conversation with him. For myself. For Britney. For all of us. With Brittney and her mum out of the living room, it suddenly felt more quiet than ever, neither my dad nor I making a sound. We simply remained in our position,allowing the silence stretch further between us until it got to a point I just couldn’t take it anymore. “You said you wanted to talk to me?” I had to break the silence. “About?” “A lot?” He looked up at me. “We both know we have a lot to talk about.” I shrugged in response and he took it as a cue to continue. “At least, take a seat would you. Your feet must hurt after sitting in the plane for so long.” “You knew where I was?” I stared at him suspiciously. “Is that a qu
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN: MUM.
BRITNEY ASTON Travis and I woke up the following morning and with a few kisses and more words of reassurances to each other, we checked out and began our ride to the airport. We didn’t say much during the drive to the airport but The silence wasn’t uncomfortable at the same time it- was heavy with the weight of everything unsaid, everything we had been through. I leaned into his shoulder, closing my eyes briefly as I let the hum of the city fade into the background. My thoughts kept circling back to what lay ahead—to the confrontation waiting for us in London, to the parents we had left behind, and to the uncertain future that now stretched before us. At the airport, the check-in process went by in a blur. Travis stayed close, his presence a great help as we navigated through the crowds and security checks. The boarding process was swift, and before I knew it, we were seated on the plane, the engines roaring to life as the city of New Jersey receded beneath us. The flight was l
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND TWELVE: BEFORE THE STORM.
BRITNEY ASTON “Do you really have to return already?” Jane sat cross-legged on the couch, pouting like a child, her lower lip jutting out as she whined dramatically. We had arrived at her place and immediately told her about our plans to leave for London the following day and she clearly wasn’t as thrilled. “I can’t believe you’re leaving me so soon!” she complained, her voice filled with a mix of playful annoyance and genuine sadness. “You just got here, Brit. Are you really going to run back to London already?” I chuckled softly, reaching out to give her hand a comforting squeeze. “I’m not running back,” I laughed, even though I knew it was a little bit of a lie. “Im just going back. You know the way things have been. The reason I came here in the first place. And now, things have changed and Travis and I need to figure out what’s next for us. I can’t keep hiding out here forever.” “I’m not asking you hide here forever!” She huffed. “I’m just saying you should at least s
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND ELEVEN: BEFORE THE SUNSHINE.
BRITNEY ASTON The morning sunlight filtered softly through the sheer curtains, casting a warm, golden hue across the room. I stirred, feeling the weight of Travis’s arm draped protectively over my waist, his steady breath tickling the nape of my neck. For a moment, I just laid there, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his chest against my back, savoring the peace that came with waking up beside him. It had been so long since I’d felt this way—safe, cherished, utterly content. My lips curled into a smile as I nestled deeper into his embrace, every fiber of my being grateful for the chance to feel his warmth again. It felt like a dream, one that I was terrified of waking up from, but the steady beat of his heart against my skin reminded me that this was real. He was real, and he was here with me. Memories of the previous night flooded my mind, and I found myself blushing at the vivid recollections. We had barely made it through the door before our lips had crashed together, mon
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND TEN: MORE THAN A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY STEPBROTHER.
BRITNEY ASTON The door to the hotel room was slammed shut, our fiery passion immediately ignited all over again. Our lips returned to each other’s like it had been more than an hour since they were last in contact. The kiss was deeper than ever, our passion and excitement over the roof. “I’ve missed you.” Our eyes locked, a silent understanding passing between us before we surged forward, lips crashing together again in a desperate, heated kiss. My fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as hie hands roamed my back, gripping the fabric of my shirt like he hadn’t skillfully gotten rid of it just an hour ago. The kiss was frantic, filled with the urgency of all the unsaid words, the unspent passion that had been building between us for far too long. We stumbled backward, our lips never parting, until I felt the edge of the bed pressing against my legs. With a quick motion, he lifted me off my feet and laid me down gently on the bed, his body immediately hovering ove
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND NINE: BACK TO YOU.
BRITNEY ASTON "Travis?" The word barely escaped my lips, a breathless whisper that seemed to echo in the stillness of the room. For a moment, time itself seemed to freeze. I stood there, rooted to the spot, staring at the figure before me as if he were a mirage, something conjured by my desperate, aching heart. My chest tightened, every beat of my heart pounding like a drum against my ribcage, trying to escape. It was him. It was really him. The Travis I had left behind, the Travis I had tried so hard to distance myself from, was now standing right in front of me. His expression mirrored mine, eyes wide with shock, as if he too couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He looked different, a little more worn, like he had been through his own personal storm, and yet, he was still the Travis I knew—the Travis I loved. "Britney," he breathed out, his voice hoarse, as if the very act of saying my name had stolen the breath from his lungs. “Brit.” My mouth opened, but the words refus
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND EIGHT: THE SEARCH II
TRAVIS LEWIS Thomas blinked at me, confusion written all over his face. His expression wavered- from that of hopelessness, confusion, worry and once again, hopelessness. He looked genuinely confused but I had to be even more confused. Why wasn't Britney at his place? She was definitely at new jersey, right? If that was the case then where in the world could she be? "Britney, isn't with you?" he broke into my thoughts to ask. "But Richard said" "I wanted to see you. Alone. Britney wasn't with me." "Oh," | watched his face fall as the realization hit him. "Oh. Oh, that's what happened." "Forgive my manners, do you want to come in?" he quickly added. "I was just really excited to meet you. That's why I um was waiting outside. But um, you can come in if you don't mind. You came from London, right? I could whip you a nice cup of tea real quick." Normally, I would have rejected his offer as the last thing I wanted and needed was a cup of tea. But he was Britney's father and if a cup
One-Night Stand With My Stepbrother! HUNDRED AND SEVEN: THE SEARCH I
TRAVIS LEWIS One minute, I was at Lucas’, trying to figure out where Britney could be and the other, I was hurriedly packing my bags after booking the most impromptu next flight to New Jersey. Lucas was right. All it took was a couple of deep breaths and calm thinking for me to figure out where she was going to be. Considering everything going on, it only made sense that she felt like the problem- she was probably blaming herself for being the reason her mum would be unable to have another normal family, blaming herself for being one of the major reasons I was never going to be on better terms with my dad, blaming her presence for being the reason things got so complicated. And with all of that, it only felt right for her to return to New Jersey, probably convinced things were going to miraculously get better that way. But they weren’t. Not like that. And especially not when I was on my way to New Jersey to find her. To hold her. And to never let her go. I arrived at the airpo
