Stepbrother: Forbidden Cravings: Stepbrother Romance Boxed Set (10 page)

Chapter 3

That’s how my new life started. Our bachelor, men-only house transformed.
Oh, women
. Olivia got down to decorating, painting, buying cute (
silly!
) vases, changing curtains, carpets, upholstery… It was like a tornado. But I wasn’t the only one who chuckled.

Tyler supported me.

“She’s so fidgety,” she said one night when we met in the hall. “Trust me, I feel for you,” she smiled. “My mom has always been like that. She just loves changes.”

“Do you want to escape?” I smiled too.

“I’d love to!”

She looked as happy as a child.

“I’m so new to this town. Can you show some good places? Or…” she hesitated. “Can you introduce me to your friends? I know nobody here!”

It’s just an excuse, you know? She’s trying to get you.
I shook my head.

“Of course! I was going to Charlie’s party. He’s my friend. Come with me,” I suggested.

“Great!” Tyler nodded and took my hand. “Then let’s go.”

An ironic voice in my head kept on whispering something mean, but I didn’t care. I wanted to get to know my new sister, and she didn’t object.

The party was in full swing. Charlie’s parents left to Bahamas, so he was getting loose. There were all my friends here, but I didn’t feel like hanging with them; at some point I realized I wished I could stay with Tyler alone.

Not today!

Tyler was having fun. She was so outgoing and gorgeous in her tiny black dress that I couldn’t even think of turning away. She laughed and laughed; she drew everybody’s stares.

“Dude, don’t you mind if I hook up with your sister?” my friend Alex asked, when we were drinking beer by the pool.

I gave a start.
Of course, you don’t mind. She doesn’t belong to you.
I did mind though.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” I said.

“Why? She’s such a toots!”

“I said no.”

“Wait. Are you jealous? Dude, she’s your sister. Don’t forget!”

“She is. And I know
you
. That’s why: no.”

I was inexorable. I felt I would punch Alex if he asks me once again.

“Oh, come on. Just a drink! And may be
some more
.”

He gave me a speaking glance. It was too much.

The crowd around us gasped. I punched my old friend in the face, and he fell on the floor.

“What’s wrong with you, pal?” he asked, rubbing his nose. “Are you crazy?”

Yes, you are!

I caught Tyler’s inquiring look.

“He was too pushy,” I explained to her and left.

I hated now everything; the idea to come to the party, to take Tyler with me, to show her to my friends… I hated myself too. For being so silly.

She’s your step-sister!

I didn’t want to think of Tyler as my family. She wasn’t related to me at all; my father was married to her mother, but that was it.

Nothing! There was nothing between us. Apart from this burning feeling I developed lately… How can it be? Did I fall for her? I had always been sure I can’t possibly fall in love with anybody; now it was my step-sister. So lame!

I recalled her slim, curvy body in her tight, black dress, her ebony, glowing skin, her black eyes and her deep, piercing look. Tyler was perfect. She was a goddess; a goddess who is not allowed to be loved by a simple human.

“It was awesome.”

Tyler caught up with me in the dark street. I turned to see a gentle, tender smile.

“Did you do it for me?”

I nodded.

“Alex is such an asshole,” I said.

“I’m glad you’re not. That’s what the real brothers should be like. You know, I was afraid you’ll hate me,” she said. “This marriage of your dad… And my mom… I know, it’s hard. And I’m so happy you are not angry with me.”

I was surprised to hear that. She was
afraid
… How can a goddess like her fear anything?

“Thank you,” Tyler smiled and took my hand.

It was too much for me; I just realized I will do it. I’ll kiss her. Now or never. And I did.

I took her in my arms and pressed my lips against her. She was sweet and as tender as her voice was; she didn’t push me away and gave me a kiss in return.

“What are we doing?” I asked, stepping back.

Tyler smiled cunningly.

“I think my brother just kissed me,” she said.

“Your step-brother.”

Tyler drew closer to me. “I don’t care. Can you do it once again?”

I breathed out. She felt the same. She wanted it.

And I kissed her.

Chapter 4

I drove her home, and we entered the hall together, hand in hand. I couldn’t shift my gaze from Tyler. I still didn’t believe it.

“Well, goodnight, my step-brother,” she said.

“I think I’ll take you to your room. Just want to make sure you get there safely.”

“Are there any dangers on my way?”

Her eyes smiled.

“I’m sure of it. Stairs, thresholds, dark corridors…” I said thoughtfully.

“You’re right.”

At the door of her room, Tyler took my hand. Without a word, she drew me inside and closed the door. I found myself face to face with her.

“I think it’s too late to sleep. Don’t you think?” she asked.

“Same here. I’m wide awake.”

“So what are you up to?”

Tyler was so unbelievably attractive when smiling so cunningly… I leaned over to her and kissed her lips.

She circled her arms round my neck and pressed herself to my chest. She was trembling for she wanted me.

I moved away for a moment.

“Tyler, are you sure? It’s not right…” I didn’t want to say so, but I knew I had to.

“Am I sure?”

She looked at me with her wide, abyss-black eyes.

“I’ve wanted it since the very moment I saw you. I don’t care our parents are married.”

And she pressed herself to me once again.

It was a wild, crazy night. I forgot all my doubts and fears. Did they really matter when I had a goddess in my arms?

Tyler was so different. She kissed me gently and softly, stroking my cheekbones and chest; the next moment she turned into a lissome cat, a greedy lioness, and I felt on fire. I caressed her silky ivory skin, brushed against her curves again and again, looked in her black eyes and couldn’t get enough.

Chapter 5

We settled to meet in the greenhouse at midday. At breakfast, we were silent. My dad talked to Olivia and tried to engage us in their conversation as well, but we were trying too hard to hide there was something between us this night. I left the table first; then it was Tyler’s turn.

There was no one in the greenhouse except for us. I was excited and worried at the same time. What are we going to do next? What if Tyler doesn’t want to go on?

“I felt so good this night,” she whispered, coming closer.

I felt relieved. Tyler hugged me.

“I already missed you at breakfast. It was so weird!”

She drew even closer. I felt a gentle scent of her lavender perfume. It turned my head. I couldn’t think of anything else; I just wanted to have Tyler in my arms forever.

“What are we gonna do?” Now she looked serious.

I wasn’t sure what to say. I realized I’d rather make love to her right here, in the greenhouse; it wasn’t the best place for such activities, and somebody could easily come in, but I didn’t care.

“They shouldn’t find out,” Tyler said. She looked upset, and I feared she’d say we need to stop it. “We need to be more careful.”

“So… Do you want to keep on?” I asked.

“Oh my goodness, Ryan,” she pierced me with her look. “I want it so much!”

She put her hand on my chest.

“It’s so wrong, but I can do nothing!” she said. “When you kissed me last night… I felt so alive… so happy.”

I breathed in her fragrance.

“I have to tell you something, Tyler.”

She gave me a look of inquiry.

“It was a total mess when I found out my dad got married. I was angry, true. But when I saw you… It’s crazy,” I said. “I just couldn’t help. You are so… beautiful, charming, delicious…”

She chuckled. “Delicious?”

“Oh yes,” I smiled. “I just didn’t know what to think.”

“I’m glad you changed your mind and you don’t hate me,” she smiled.

“I don’t. Tyler, I think…” I made a pause. “I think I’m in love.”

She was silent for a moment.

“Oh, Ryan. This is so wrong,” she finally said.

I felt like I was falling down the bottomless pit.

“…but I believe I fell in love with you too,” she finished.

I looked in her eyes. They were sparkling.

“This is so wrong,” I repeated.

“Oh, yes,” Tyler gave me a smile.

“We don’t care though,” I resolved.

Tyler reached out to kiss me.

“Ryan? Tyler? Are you here?”

We startled when the door of the greenhouse slammed. Chuckling, we moved away from each other and tried to look as calm as possible.

“So here is
Azalea
,
Rhododendron
genus,
Ericaceae
family…” I said when my dad appeared in the passageway between the flowerbeds.

Tyler was nodding to my words with the most serious look ever.

Chapter 1

Justin pulled his BMW up to the front door of his father Baxter’s house in Malibu not sure about how his visit was going to go, the last time he had visited from Grad school his mother and father were fighting again screaming how bad they wanted to have a divorce.

From what he was told by his mother, after getting the divorce he had wanted so badly, he eventually ended up marrying a woman named Mandy only a matter of months after moving out of the house.

Justin popped the trunk and grabbed his duffel bag out of the trunk and took off his sunglasses to admire the new house that his father and new mother-in-law lived in, it was right along the beach and even had its own personal access as well.

Justin walked up to the door and rang the doorbell putting his sunglasses back on, hoping to hide the feeling of awkwardness behind them. Suddenly the door swung open to a women he didn’t recognize standing there barefoot with a smile on her face.

She looked a few years younger than his own mother and was wearing a white beach dress that had gold trim and a very steep neckline that showed off a little cleavage, “you must be Justin,” she said as she walked over to him with open arms. “My name is Mandy, your father’s wife,” she said as she took him by the hand and pulled him inside the house closing the door behind them.

Justin was stunned to see that his father had married a woman who looked so young but it wasn’t really any of his business who his father decided to be with anyway.

He watched as his step-mother circled around him looking him over from head to toe, making the awkward feelings that he had changed to just being uncomfortable, “my daughter Ashley would just eat you up if it wasn’t for your father and I being married.

We have the same taste in men; tall, handsome, and strong with an uncanny sense of humor,” she said making Justin lightly blush.

“You have a daughter?” he asked as he picked up his bag and followed Mandy through the house to the living-room, “yeah she’s just entering her second year at grad school…something about counseling,” she said sounding like she was losing interest.

Justin looked out at the beach and saw the ocean reaching out as far as the eye could see.

He took a look down at the beach and saw a young woman lying down on her stomach, reading a book while sun bathing. She had her black hair up in a ponytail and lightly bronzed skin, it was definitely a view that he could enjoy.

“Ashley, come and meet Justin,” Mandy called out making the woman on the beach towel turn around and then stand up gathering her belongings and dusting the sand off of her toned and well-curved body.

Justin raised an eyebrow as he watched her walk up the steps with her book and drink in hand and her aviator sunglasses covering her face.

She walked into the room, leaving her sandals near the door, “He’s cute,” she said giving him a perfect white smile as she walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water to drink. Justin couldn’t help but stare as she placed the bottle of water against her mouth, everything felt like it was playing out in slow motion as he looked her over from head to toe once more and close up.

Ashley looked over at him and smiled as she realized that he was staring at her and gave him a wink breaking his concentration, “Your father should be home any minute now, he ran out for errands earlier and wanted to grab something for you,” Mandy said with a smile. Justin stood with a smirk on his face as he nodded his head, “So where is my room?” he asked wanting to lay back and relax before having to deal with his father and the possible drama coming with him.

“I’ll show you where your room is,” Ashley said with a devious smile as Justin picked up his duffel bag and walked over to the stairs following her, “It’s right across the hall from mine,” she said looking back over her shoulder down at Justin from the first step.

Ashley continued walking up the stairs in front of Justin who watched her hips sway with every step she took, “Here it is,” she said holding a pointed finger out to her right while biting her lip.

Justin gave her a flirty smile and took off his glasses showing her his bright blue eyes, “Thanks,” he said walking through the door watching as Ashley walked into her room and slowly closed the door behind her.

He threw his bag on his bed along with his sunglasses and looked out the floor to ceiling window over the bay and shook his head trying to get Ashley out of his mind, “That girl is going to get me into trouble,” he said to himself.

Justin threw himself down onto the bed and stared at the ceiling eventually falling asleep on his stomach. Suddenly, he was awoken by a hand running through his hair.

After a few minutes of slight moaning, Justin realized that someone was touching him and jumped up and turned himself around onto his back while lying on the bed. Justin rubbed his eyes and realized that it was Ashley standing over him and the sun was beginning to set.

“I tried shaking and poking you, nothing was working until I started running my hand through your hair,” she said with a smile. Justin looked Ashley over head to toe and noticed that she was wearing some jean shorts and a black tank top with black lace for the trim, “Dinner is ready, your dad saw you sleeping and decided to let you rest,” she said before turning around and looking back over her shoulder at Justin as she left the room.

Justin stood up and stretched his arms and legs before looking himself over in the bathroom. He decided he should probably change into something more comfortable.

He rummaged through his duffel bag and found a white shirt and black cargo shorts. He took off his shirt and threw it to the floor when he heard a noise from behind him.

Justin turned around quickly to see Ashley watching from the doorway. He turned around and smiled as he showed off his pecks and six packs for her to see.

He could see the desire burning in her eyes, and wanted nothing more than to take her into his arms and have a night of passion. But, the problem was that they were now related through their parents’ marriage. “Sorry, they sent me to check on you,” she said as Justin turned towards her, displaying his six pack and pectorals before sliding his shirt over his head.

“I'll be down in a minute, I just wanted to change into something more comfortable,” Justin said with a smile on his face as Ashley began to blush, “I'll let them know,” she said as she stumbled back into the hallway and down to the kitchen.
