Rogue: A Stepbrother Forbidden Romance
I have a secret.
I can't tell anyone. Not my mother, not my best friend, and especially not my stepbrother. It eats away at me. Digs in, distracts me, randomly hits me at times when I'm supposed to be focused on something else.
The sun beats down on my already golden skin as I lay beside our pool. A thin sheen of sweat glistens. My secret consumes my thoughts. Quiet surrounds me. My stepbrother and my bio brother have gone off to the store for something and my folks are gone. I'm alone in our giant backyard, soaking up some rays, and wrestling with the one thought that consumes me.
Glancing towards the house to make sure I'm still alone, my hand wanders down to my mound, sliding easily under my string bikini. I rub, finding that perfect spot. Some of this tension has to go before they get back. My secret envelopes me as I give myself over to it. I imagine him climb out of the pool, the water runs down his washboard abs, the muscles of his chest and shoulders flex and roll as he pulls himself out.
My rubbing gets faster. Circular motions. He's running his hands through pushing his wet hair back. I gasp, my hips thrust up against my hand to increase pressure. Slowly he turns towards me, almost there.
"Cindy!"
Shit!
I jerk my hand out of my suit as I jump up from the lounge chair.
"WHAT!" I yell.
My younger brother Danny runs out of the house barreling straight at me. He bowls into me and I take two steps back from the impact.
"Oooph," I exhale.
"We got strawberry soda!" Danny says excitedly.
"Oh yay," I feign enthusiasm.
He's only eight, the product of my mother's second marriage to Josh's dad, my stepdad. Josh comes out of the house carrying a two liter of strawberry soda with a sheepish grin on his face. I feel myself flush at the sight of him, my secret pounding in my mind.
Did he see? Does he know . . .
Josh is beautiful. We've lived together for almost nine years now all of which I've been in love with him. Love like not in the way you should, like brother and sister love, love as in I want him.
Josh is my secret.
A Baby for My Hero Stepbrother by Stephanie Brother
"Samuel," my stepmother calls to my stepbrother.
I roll my eyes. Samuel hates me.
Our parents got married three years ago and since then we've been shoved together in the same house. Apparently he's made it his life's mission to make me miserable. Aside from his constant snide remarks he seems to have a knack for walking in when I'm half dressed. I can't ever prove it but I know he's doing it on purpose, probably just to make me mad.
"What!" he yells across the house.
Samuel's always angry. Even with his mother he's mean. I don't think I've ever heard him say a nice word to anyone.
"Come see your sister's dress!" she yells back ignoring his attitude.
My stepmother is a saint. She has to be to deal with Samuel. Her first husband was killed in a car crash and I wonder if that doesn't have something to do with his attitude.
Samuel walks in and no matter how much I can't stand him my heart skips a beat. He wears his hair too long, just past his collar and over his ears. His bangs hang down into his face but man is that face beautiful. He's like Johnny Depp, all perfectly carved planes and lines that scream unearthly handsome. He moves like a cat ready to pounce with an easy strength. I've seen him lift weights that are twice his size but he tries to never do it when he thinks I'll see him.
I've walked in on his workouts before and seen him covered in sweat, muscles rippling as he lifts. It happened by accident the first time and he screamed at me but since then I've slipped back to watch him work. The sight of it makes me have thoughts that are definitely not stepbrother appropriate.
If I'm a loner at school, Samuel is a total rebel. I think he has one friend who's another complete outcast. At least as a book nerd there are a handful of other academics I can claim as friends. Samuel has pretty much no one.
He's not dressed for prom. He's wearing ripped up jeans, one of which is right below his crotch so that his boxer shorts show. His t-shirt is stretched tight over his chest and his leather biker style jacket is worn down and abused. There's a cigarette dangling out of his mouth.
"Samuel!" his mother cries out.
"What?" he growls.
"You know how I feel about smoking!"
"Yeah, why in the hell do you think I'm doing it?"
He stares at her, his deep blue eyes defiant, his mouth set into a line with that nasty thing sticking straight out. He never even inhales just has it jutting out in defiance of his mother. I shake my head at him and he narrows his eyes but says nothing.
"Well, look at your sister, tell her how beautiful she's," his mother says.
"She's not my fucking sister," he says.
"Samuel, I will not tolerate that language in this house!"
"Whatever," he says turning away to leave. "You look like a hot piece of ass Sis."
