Stephen was charming. More than my heart could take, even with both our parents there with us. It didn’t help that he would keep looking at me. I kept imagining the fire in his eyes, even when I looked away.

He was also a little smug like he knew the effect he had on me, and he played it out well.

Beneath his cool, polite exterior around Mom and Paul, and beneath that designer suit he wore, was a bad boy with tattoos and a love of hard sex.

That last part, I knew because he turned my world on its axis one night when his dad took us out to eat. He’d got me to leave the table with a muttered excuse, nobody was really paying attention anyway, and I’d followed along, too curious to say no. The next thing I knew he had me backed up into a wall in a dark hallway. I had been trying my best not to look at him and failing at it, so when he undid his cuffs and rolled his sleeves back, I could only gape at the ink running down his right arm.

Because I was so preoccupied, I didn’t even realize wh

    What the hell had I been thinking?I hadn't been thinking, though, and wasn’t that the problem here? It was Saturday, the day after the wedding, and I’d already moved back to my apartment from Mom’s home. I didn’t have to be back to work yet, not until Monday. I didn’t have anything else to do, so I could only stay at my apartment and stew.The events from last night wouldn’t stop running through my mind. I hadn't consumed enough alcohol to get drunk, so my thoughts were pretty clear, and it was torture.I shouldn’t have been drinking last night. Not in such proximity to Stephen, knowing how he made me feel. I should have been paying attention, too, and tried better to avoid him the moment I realized I wanted him, from the first time I met him. Right then, I should have kept a polite distance between us. It wasn’t an impossible thing to do, even though we were now related. We were also still strangers. I’d only known him for a few days, and he’d turned my world upside down.It was my

    After that night, I couldn’t stop myself, no matter how wrong it was. I was having an affair with my stepbrother, and I loved it and hated it at the same time. I just loved it more.Stephen moved down to Louisiana to start a new life, but he’d all but wrecked mine in the process, and it worried me how I didn’t totally mind it.I couldn’t deny it, though, the things he made me feel. That he made me feel at all, besides just the pleasure he could bring me in bed. I couldn’t deny my body’s need for him, either, and Stephen didn’t make it any easier for me to resist.On Monday, he showed up at work, and we pretended not to know each other. Work was totally professional. At least, I hoped it would be, but I would find myself distracted, especially when he was in my sight, and people were noticing.On top of that, I was fighting my own morals. When it came to men and how I picked up guys, there were only a few. Since none of the relationships were meant to last, while careful, I was pretty

    A couple of weeks after the wedding, I had some more free time coming up during the weekend. Stephen suggested getting away, just the two of us.I felt like I should refuse, just on principle. It was too much like being a couple, which made it feel like we were actually in a relationship. But, if we weren’t in one already, then I was lying to myself. I couldn’t call the past two weeks a series of one-night stands.The biggest appeal for the trip, though, was that we got to go somewhere far away. Someplace where no one knew who we were. I would still know, but I would feel a little less guilty. So, I agreed to it, and we went to the coast for the weekend. Stephen had a car, so he drove us down. It was a bit of a drive, so we set out early. He booked us into a hotel by the beach, but we barely got to enjoy it. Well, we did enjoy the room at least; we spent almost every moment in bed.Waking up on Sunday in Stephen’s arms was a happy moment, and I sighed as I admitted it to myself. I di

    No matter what I thought, or what I told myself I would do, in the end, I did nothing and time passed.It had been a while since I got to see Mom. She was back in the country, and she’d called plenty, we’d also had video calls, but Mom had moved to New York to live with Paul. She’d left me to do whatever I wanted with the house, but since I wasn’t sure, and it was too far from my workplace anyway, I hadn't done a thing about it.Now, it was the Christmas season, and Mom wanted me to visit.“Do we have to go?” I asked.Stephen was in my apartment to pick me up. Of course, he was going as well. Our parents wanted to spend Christmas with us, but I still felt it would be too awkward with all four of us. From what I knew of Stephen’s house unless his Dad bought a new place, it was big. But no matter the size, we would still be under one roof, and the thought made me slightly uncomfortable.“Of course we have to go,” Stephen said, stopping to look over at me. “Or would you rather give them

    When I woke up later that morning, Stephen wasn’t in my room. I was both disappointed and relieved. The room had its own bathroom, and I got up to get showered and dressed. I would have thought I dreamed last night, but the evidence of us making love was all over my body.Thinking of how I was going to be seeing Mom and Paul again soon, I washed up thoroughly before leaving the bathroom. I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a sweater, then left the bedroom. Downstairs, I could hear the sound of talking, and there was the smell of something cooking. I followed the smell and found the kitchen.I stopped at the doorway and looked inside, hesitating. Mom was at the stove, cooking. Paul was standing behind her, with his arms around her and Mom tucked under his chin. They were talking quietly and laughed. The moment looked so private; it would be a crime to interrupt. I was about to turn around and go to the living room when a voice behind me startled me.“Good morning.”I startled, hearing

    When we arrived back, Stephen’s car was still waiting for us at the airport. I hesitated for a bit, wondering if maybe I should take a taxi instead, but didn’t say anything.Stephen drove us back. He took me to my apartment and helped me carry my luggage up.“You don’t have to do this,” I said, a little desperate.If he would go away, I could put this off. I wasn’t going to change my mind, but I was feeling tired after the flight. I wanted to go to sleep, and on another day, I could tell him that we were over with a clearer mind.Stephen didn’t give any indication that he heard me, just picked up my suitcase and led the way into the building. I watched him go, then took out my other luggage, slammed the trunk closed, and followed him inside. He was waiting for me at the door, and I unlocked it, letting us both inside.“You can just leave it there,” I said.Again, he just walked past me and dragged my suitcase into the bedroom. This time, I didn’t follow. I set my suitcase aside, and l

    It wasn’t too late when I arrived back home. Immediately, I took a shower, then got changed and went out.The last time I went to a bar, was that Sunday after Mom’s wedding. It wasn’t a place Stephen loved to frequent, so I’d never been to a bar with him. Aside from some celebrations with our coworkers, or when we had wine with dinner sometimes. Within that time, other than in those instances, I didn’t even have alcohol.I still had work tomorrow morning, so I didn’t intend to drink much. Not that I ever did. I was going back to my old routine; find a fairly popular bar, find a good seat with a nice view, and look for a man to fill my bed.It used to be something so simple for me, but just like that night, when I really needed it, I couldn’t find anyone to suit my purpose, even when I got myself to lower my standards a little. As long as it was a man that could show me a good time, help me forget for a little bit, I wouldn’t mind even if we ended up fucking in the alley behind the bar

    It was the weekend already, so I didn’t have work. I’d totally forgotten, and with the mess I was in, I wasn’t even surprised. I only realized after a while of crying, and all I could think was how good it was that I wouldn’t be late for work; that I wouldn’t be going to work at all and wouldn’t get to meet Stephen. That last thought, though, could be either good or bad, and my mood couldn’t seem to decide which.Wiping my face, I got out of bed to go to the bathroom and have a shower. I didn’t have my usual video chat with Mom for my birthday. She might have tried, and I was… busy with other things. When I checked my phone, I saw that she had left messages. I sent her one back to call in an hour. I was a total, leaky mess but it would be enough time to clean myself up.In an hour, I was sitting in my kitchen with a quick breakfast, practicing making a normal face for Mom so she wouldn’t think there was anything wrong.Other than that, there wasn’t really anything I had to do over the

    Jade“Hurry up, Jade! We’re going to be late!” Zach’s voice came through the door.“Hold up,” I yelled back. “You took a lot longer in the bathroom and you know it!”He didn’t have a thing to say against that, and I smirked. It was hard for me not to take my time, though. After all, my stomach was a lot bigger now, and while not fully grown yet since I was only in the second half of my third month, the lump was big enough to be visible even under my clothes, no matter how baggy. Still, stepmom somehow managed to get me the right dress to make it a little subtle, and I had to settle it just right on my form so no one could tell, even when I walked around.Today was the open day for our bakery, both mine and Zach’s. Once we both enrolled in culinary school, he’d decided to drop his original plans for university, because of course Zach had plans. We’d graduated from high school, and we had the rest of our lives ahead of us.Finally getting my dress to settle right, I left the bathroom.

    I looked around as the lady going around with the clipboard moved to the next table in line. She was near the end, and I figured the competition would really begin once she reached the end. I hadn’t read anything on how the contestants were judged, but I had already figured they might award points for the cakes appearance, if ‘points’ was how they were adding it all up. So, if she was awarding for presentation, then there would be more judges coming by to start tasting the cakes.“There are a lot of people here,” I murmured to Zach.He hummed. “Honestly, there are a lot less than I thought there would be. At least they’re less than a hundred.”I grumbled, squeezing his hand for comfort. Fifty-something people was still plenty enough, and I was starting to worry again, wondering just how big a chance we had of even winning this thing.I’m just an amateur. Sure, I’ve helped Dad at the bakery plenty, and I’ve been watching him for years, but some of these cakes look professionally done!

    Jade is pregnant.The words hadn’t stopped running through my mind ever since I found out. It was the last thing I expected, but that just made me an idiot. With all the fucking we’d been doing, considering I didn’t remember using condoms or any form of contraception any of those times, this was a logical outcome.It was stupid that I was shocked, but I was.We had to go down and eat breakfast at some point, so after Jade got her composure back, and washed her face, we both headed downstairs. Monty was still in the dining room, as if he’d been waiting with the food for us. Two other places were set on the table with several platters in the middle.“If you’d like something like bacon or eggs or pancakes, just say so and I’ll have them prepare them in the kitchen.”“Nah, it’s fine,” I said quickly, before he could suggest it anyway. “It’s our fault for being late, anyway, we’ll just have what’s available.”There was plenty already, just not anything hot. I could tell the croissants were

    Since it was too early in the morning, there was nothing we could do about our suspicions. When I thought about it, I felt like my period could be late, but it wasn’t like I marked my period days religiously, not anymore, anyway. As long as I made sure to have some painkillers and pads at the ready each month, I just waited, and I would feel the cramps coming just before my period started. Plus, I had been late some months, especially that first year when it happened, so I wouldn’t think too much about it.This was different, though. Not just because I was puking, but when I thought about it, neither of us had ever thought much about contraception as we got so lost in each other, and sometimes, once was all it took. I wanted to hold onto some denial, because I didn’t want it to be true, but I could feel a rising dread in my chest.In any case, since we couldn’t do a thing about it just yet, I got to work. I worked better with the icing than Zach did, so I cautiously walked closer onc

    I waited for Jade to call me. She’d insisted on going home and speaking to her dad right after school, so Monty and I had gone back without her. He was in his room, playing video games with the leftover cake from yesterday’s practice.We were going to bake the final cake today, we had to. Even though the competition was in the afternoon, there might not be enough time to bake the cake and transport it to the venue in time, even if I got up before dawn and Jade arrived early. In the end, I got tired of waiting and gave her a call. If she’d been there, we could have caught some sleep after finishing with the cake, but at this rate, we wouldn’t have enough time for that. I waited until Monty came to call me out for dinner. In his house, they had dinner at seven, and I thought it was late enough.So, I called Jane. The line died before she could pick up, and I just called again. She picked up on the third call.“Hello?”Her voice didn’t sound right, a little thick, and sleepy. I felt my

    The days went by fast, and before I knew it, it was Friday morning. I’d gone to classes after skipping on Monday, but with the competition tomorrow, I was wondering if I could still skip. I woke early because I was a little too excited, and it wasn’t even the day of the competition, yet.I went through my morning routine quickly, and by the time I arrived downstairs, it was to find that stepmom hadn’t even left yet, which meant I was really early.“Good morning,” I called.The nervous excitement in my stomach was almost enough to make me miss the awkward air in the room. Stepmom was standing by the cooker making breakfast with her back to the rest of the room. Dad was seated at the dining table with his paper held up. He didn’t look up at my voice, but Stepmom shot me a look over her shoulder. She smiled, even though it looked a bit strained.“Morning, Jade. Please, sit down. I’ll have breakfast done in a minute.”I was silent as I went to sit at the table, not looking at Dad even tho

    There was a loud beep, and Jade looked up.“The cake is done,” she said excitedly.I grabbed a pair of oven mitts and handed them over to her before she forgot the oven was supposed to be hot and touched it with her bare hands in her eagerness. She opened the oven door, and the smell from the cake wafted into the kitchen.“It smells amazing,” I commented.“More than amazing, it smells delicious.”She pulled the tray out and set it on the counter, then tugged off the mitts. The cake had puffed up nicely.“It needs to cool down. Let’s take care of the icing now.”The cake was chocolate with chocolate icing, slight caramel and mint added in the icing. I watched jade as she perfected it. This was one area where she’d be better off than me, so I just leaned back on the counter and waited until she was done.Jade hummed as she tasted the icing once she was done mixing it. “I think it came out really good. Would you like to try it?”I was lost in thought, watching as jade licked the icing of

    Getting to school, now that I lived at Monty’s, was a bit of an adventure. I usually got up early and left the house early, not because I was a particularly studious student, but it was so I’d have the decision to walk to school or take the bus. Jade usually ended up running late and had to rush all the way to school.Living with Monty, none of this was easy. Well, it was a little easy, because even after staying with him for nearly a whole week, I hadn’t once run into his family. So, I didn’t have to deal with any awkwardness, but Monty’s house was further from school than I was used to. So, I could get up early and go catch the bus, though it would take a bit of a walk, or I could get up a bit later and wake Monty up so he could drive me to school. He usually did it with not much time to spare before school started, but he was relaxed because he had a car, several of them in fact.This particular morning, I was feeling lazy, so he drove me to school. I was usually in class and revie

    My alarm went off, waking me up, but I was too lazy to move. My head felt a little stuffy, like I wasn’t all awake, but the sound got annoying really fast. With a groan, I got up and reached for my nightstand, where I’d taken to keeping my phone instead of under my pillow, because of the radiation, and because this way I wouldn’t just snooze the alarm and go back to sleep.School. I had to go to school, there was never another reason for getting up early.I slipped off the side of my bed and rose up on my toes as I raised my clasped hands, yawning as I stretched my body out. I squinted my eyes, even though it was too early to have much light in my room. I stumbled my way out of my room, and was about to go to the bathroom when I paused, because it should be occupied.Zach was usually up earlier than I was, and he could take a ridiculous amount of time in the shower for a guy. I actually ended up staying in for about ten minutes because he took more than twice that time.Then, I rememb
