Note from J.L. Ostle

Dear readers,

Thank you so much for reading Tempted. I hope you enjoy the story of Kacey and Aidan, as much as I enjoyed writing it. This is the first book I have written away from The Change series, so a little scary. The story was just based on Kacey’s point of view, but Aidan screamed in my head to let him have his say also.

If you enjoyed this book, I would really appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes and leave a review. Reviews help authors, and I love hearing what you think.

Thank you so much <3

Thank you again for giving this book a chance.

J.L. Ostle xoxo

Chapter 1

Kacey

“Mother, please, I’m begging you. Don’t leave me here, let me come with you, or just let me stay at home. You know you can trust me, I have never done anything for you not to trust me,” I plead with her, looking outside the car window at my new home for the next six months.

“You know I trust you. I will never be home, it’s unsafe for you to be on your own. It’s only for a few months. I would never take you away from your home and friends if this weren't important.” I sigh knowing she’s right. My mom got a big promotion at work, part of that means is for her to travel around, helping out new stores opening up.

I turn away from the window and look at my mom, seeing her eyes plead with mine. I look at her seeing my future self. We look so similar, with the long thick brown hair, the big brown eyes that you see every emotion. People can always tell by looking into our eyes what we are truly feeling. It sucks at times, especially when you’re upset and you don’t want to talk about it. We have a nice curvaceous figure. I am not into calorie counting, I enjoy my fatty foods, and nothing on this earth would change that.

“I know, Mom. I’m sorry, it’s just harder than what I thought it would be.” I look out the window again. I had to leave my life behind, my school, my friends. It was saying goodbye to them all that hurt the most, even though we will see each other again when I return, but we acted like I was never coming back. We promised to text, Facebook and phone each other as much as possible. My best friend Viv promised me she will Facebook me with all the latest gossip at school so I can keep in the loop, on what’s going on.

“I know, sweetie, we knew this would take a while to get used to. He’s your father, he’s been begging to see you for years.” My father, Marc Wright, left after the divorce to move out here to have a fresh start. I was eleven when he moved away, part of me hated him for leaving. Even now part of me still does. I knew my parents were no longer together, I accepted that, but I hated that he just left. I hated when I found out he moved on and bounced into another family. He wrote me letters, sent me birthday and Christmas cards with cheque’s, which I put in a savings account. I never touched a cent. 

“Well he’s finally got his wish, I’m here,” I say sarcastically. I am going to see my father after six years, and his new family. God, I’m not ready for this.

“Kacey, look at me.” I turn and face her again seeing the serious expression on her face. “Your father and I have moved on with our lives, I have accepted it, you need to also. I want you to be polite and be the good girl we raised you to be.”

“I will, Mom. I better get moving so you can travel across America, which I’m jealous about. You sure you can’t take me with?” I say being half serious.

“Go on, get going.” She says before we both walk out of the car and head to the trunk. Mom helps me get my suitcases and bags out. Most of my stuff was sent here already, but this is my main clothes and accessories.

“I’m going to miss you,” I say before I hug my mom in a death grip.

“I will miss you, too. Remember if you need to talk to me, ring me anytime.” Mom says before kissing my forehead and walking to her side of the car and getting in. I watch her wave to me and drive away, leaving me here. I watch till I can no longer see the car and decide I better move before the neighbors start thinking I’m the crazy girl, staring at nothing.

I put my bags over my shoulder and pull the two wheeled suitcases towards the big house that’s going to be my new home. I walk up the clean path until I’m standing in front of the blue door. I freeze, just staring at it. Part of me just wants to run, but I remind myself it’s just my father. I can do this.

Pick up your hand and knock, I tell myself.

I raise my hand and knock three times before taking a step back. I hear movement inside, I take a big breath in before the door opens.

I look up to see the person standing in front of me.

My father.

He looks the same, from what I remembered and the very few photos I still have of him. He has the same light brown hair, but he is starting to get the gray streaks through, giving him that mature older look. He has the same warm blue eyes smiling down at me. I don’t see any resemblance when it comes to looks. I inherited his intellect, but that’s it. He started his own electronics business and it blossomed, making him a very wealthy man. He never let money change him. He enjoyed the simple life, I respect him for it. He could have a mansion if he wanted, but he would rather have the family home. That brings sadness in me. He had a family home, but now he has another with a new family. I knew I could have visited, but I was stubborn. I was hurt finding out he was raising another kid. It just got harder the older I got.

“Kacey, look at you.” My father says before wrapping his arms around me, giving me a tight hug when he pulls back, he is still standing there staring at me, not believing what he’s seeing. I guess six years does change you. “You look so beautiful, so grown up. Can’t believe it’s really you.”

“Thank you.” I don’t know what else to say.

“Come inside, let me get your things.” He grabs my bags and suitcases and guides me inside his house. It looks bigger from the inside. It’s very clean and well kept. Everything in its place. I follow my dad into the living room where he puts my things down in the corner.

“You hungry? Diana is baking some homemade cookies.” That’s what I can smell? They smell amazing, definitely giving off that sweet home vibe. Straight away my stomach decides to grumble answering the question for me.

“Yes please.” I giggle as my dad chuckles and walks towards where I assume the kitchen is. Great, I just giggled like a little girl. When I walk into the kitchen, I notice a woman who I guess is Diana, wearing an apron setting cookies on a plate. Even though she has been baking, she looks perfect, flawless. If I ever bake I have flour all over me. Diana hasn’t got a mark on her.

“Hi, please come and help yourself,” Diana says giving me a warm smile. I politely smile back and walk forward grabbing a cookie off the plate and sitting on the stool near the counter. I take a bite and can’t help but groan with how amazing this tastes, so warm, so gooey.

“This is amazing, thank you.” Diana gives me a huge smile, telling me I’m welcome, then smiles at my dad pleased that she must’ve done something right.

“Your dad has never mentioned how gorgeous you are, bet the boys are all over you?” I know she’s being nice, but he has never mentioned how I look because he hasn’t seen me in years, I thought, but I’m not going to start being petty. I look at my dad from the corner of my eye then look at the ground, uncomfortable knowing he is thinking the same thing. “I didn’t mean anything by it, I was just saying how beautiful you look. I didn’t think. I’m so sorry.” She rambles on.

“No, don’t be, it’s fine. Thank you for the compliment, though. Guys do notice me, but I’m picky,” I say trying to get out of the awkward atmosphere. I know I’m decent looking. I have that innocent, girl next door kind of look.

“So you should. Boys have only one thing on the mind half the time, so it’s good to be wary.” I hear my dad groan, obviously not liking the conversation.

“Can we talk about something else? I’m not ready to know about guys hitting on my daughter. I am not looking forward to the guy part.” My dad says causing me and Diana to giggle at him. I like Diana, she seems really nice. Think my fear of what she would be like put me off on giving her a chance, but I think me living here won’t be as bad as I thought.

“Nice to see I amuse both of you.” My dad says chuckling with us. It’s weird how a few minutes ago I didn’t want to see him, but seeing the playful side of him reminds me of how much I have missed him.

We sit around the breakfast island having milk and cookies, I enjoy each second I take a bite. God I am going to gain so much weight while I’m here. They both start asking me questions about school and my friends but notice neither of them mentions my mother. When the topic about boyfriends came up, it was fun seeing my dad not wanting to know about my love life. I kept it PG-13, just mentioned I dated, but did have a boyfriend of six months, but we were better suited as just friends. There was no spark or lustful chemistry between us, but I don’t mention that part, though.

When we finished off all the cookies, Dad takes me upstairs to show me my room. If I ate any more, I was going to burst. Diana had given me a quick hug before we left, telling me she’s looking forward to spending more time with me. I have to be honest, I am looking forward to hanging out with her, too. She’s not the evil stepmother I imaged in my head.

“Diana, seems nice,” I say as we walk up the stairs, my dad in front with my suitcases, as I hold my bags.

“Yeah she is lovely, I’m glad you two got along.” Dad turns looking at me giving me a smile, which I return.

He walks me down a hallway pointing at his and Diana’s room, next door is a closet with towels and bedding. We walk further down and he points at one door, saying it’s Aidan’s room, my new stepbrother. Funny how they haven’t mentioned him yet. Opposite is my room, but he points at two more doors telling me it’s a spare room/study and the bathroom. When Dad opens my bedroom door, setting my stuff in the middle of the room, I can’t help but gasp at the size of it.

It’s huge, it looks like a suite at a hotel. I have a huge king-size bed with purple bedding, knowing that’s my favorite color, it’s nice knowing he remembered. Opposite the bed is a huge bookshelf with a 40 inch TV in the middle. I walk over to the window that’s opposite the door, it has a sitting nook, with a view of the garden. This is perfect for when I read on my Kindle. I have two bedside cabinets with a lamp on each one. I see a door near the TV/bookshelf. I open it up to see a walk in closet, blimey, even this is massive.

“Is this okay? If you don’t like it, we can change it. I want you to feel like this is your room and you can do whatever you want to it.” My dad says rubbing his neck, obviously a nervous habit.

“You kidding? This is amazing. I love it. I especially love the reading nook,” I point at the window area.

“Yeah, we thought you would, even as a kid you loved your books.” He says looking at the ground looking sad, which makes me feel bad as it wasn’t his fault he missed out on so much of my life. It was my fault for being a stubborn child. I hate that I never gave him a chance. I guess my anger just built and built, I took him for a monster for leaving Mom and me behind.

“Dad, I’m sorry for not visiting you. It was just hard when you left, and I guess I kept hold of the hurt.” I say looking out the window. I hate how I missed out on years being with him, I can’t help the tear that slides down my cheek, then I feel arms wrapping around me, hugging me. I hold him, missing his comfort. Don’t know how long we just stood there, me holding him, but him hugging me is him telling me he understands and that everything will be fine.

Dad left me alone to give me some privacy and space. I sit on the edge of my bed and I look at my surroundings. I still can’t believe I’m here. Part of me feels so stupid and I’m angry at myself that I missed so many years to spend with my dad. I can feel the tears well up behind my eyes, but I take a deep breath in, I don’t want to cry. I’m here now, I will try to get to know him again. When I look at him, he is still a stranger to me, but I need to make an effort to change that. His new wife, Diana, seems really nice, too, I think I am going to be okay here.

Chapter 2

I decide to unpack, I go through my suitcases and bags, hanging up my clothes and putting things away in the drawers. It only took me twenty minutes to do, so I quickly change out of my jeans and tank top and decide to put on a white summer dress for dinner. Spending sixteen hours in the car made me feel a little icky. I am meeting my new stepbrother and want to show them that I am making an effort. I wonder what he is like, I hope we get on, especially if we are stuck living here for the next few months together. I give my hair a quick brush and head downstairs.

“Don’t you look very pretty,” I hear Diana say from the kitchen.

“I just wanted to make an effort for our first dinner, is there anything I can do to help?”   “Aren’t you sweet, you are our guest you don’t need to help.”

“I want to, though, you and Dad are very kind to let me stay here, so the least I could do is help.”

“You have very polite manners, with my boy I have to make him do things for stuff to get done, but maybe that’s just men in general.” I can’t help but laugh at her playful tone.

“What is your son like, if you don’t mind me asking?” I am curious about what he is like, but if he is anything like his mother I’m sure I will get on amazingly with him.

“Well he is very good looking, but don’t tell him that, he is bigheaded already, he loves sports, there’s no sport he can’t do. He is a good boy, but at times I feel like he has lost his way.” I look up into Diana’s eyes and see the sadness there, but she shakes her head and puts on her warm smile again. I wonder what she means he lost his way.

“What do you mean?” I can’t help but speak out my thoughts, It’s made me even more curious to know my new stepbrother more.

“When he was younger he was more easy going, more free spirited. When he got to high school he just started to change, he wanted to fit in. Sometimes I miss the little boy who didn’t give a damn what others thought. Anyway, let’s talk about something a bit less serious. Are you looking forward to your new school?” I can’t help but groan, which, Diana chuckles at. I watch her knead some bread.

“No, I hate the fact I have to be the new girl. I know after a few days it will feel like I have been there for years, but for now I am going to look like a lost lamb.” I put my forehead against the breakfast island counter and let the cold surface cool me down. I feel Diana stroke my hair a few times, when I look up I see her smile at me and I can’t help but smile back.

“Pretty thing like you, you are going to make loads of new friends, and watch out for the boys. Most are friends with my son. I know how they treat women, trust me, some things a mother shouldn’t have to hear about.” She winks at me and I can’t help but laugh just imaging on all the gory stuff she has heard.

“Aidan, you finally decided to grace us with your presence,” I hear Diana say. I never heard anyone walk in. “Come meet our new member of the family.” I quickly take in a deep breath and turn around, when I do I feel like I’m frozen on the spot.

My eyes are drawn to the man in front of me. He has dark brown hair that is long and messy giving off that just out of bed look, I am so tempted to brush my fingers through it, grabbing hold as I pull him towards me.

God, where did that come from?

His dark blue eyes are mesmerizing, I know they will haunt all my future dreams, God, he is so amazingly hot it’s unreal. He must be at least six foot. His plain black T-shirt is tight against him showing off his broad shoulders, big biceps, and toned body. You can tell he plays sports, his body is built to perfection. I wonder what he would look like shirtless?

I shouldn’t be having these thoughts, but I see two other guys with him, maybe one of them is my new stepbrother. When I look back up to his face, his eyes bore into mine.

I can feel my heart racing, I have never felt like this towards anyone, but the man in front of me is making my stomach flutter and I start to feel that ache between my thighs. This is by just a look. I have to bite my lip to stop a low moan from leaving my lips.

I just met him and I want him.

I am not that kind of girl to open her legs to anyone. I have had sex with one person, my ex, we only did it a handful of times, but it was nothing amazing, but this guy, I would make an exception. I can feel my cheeks grow warm.

No you wouldn’t, you’re too much of a good girl to spread your legs open to the first guy you meet, my brain tells me, she is right, even though in my head I would say yes, in reality I wouldn’t. I’m not that kind of girl, unfortunately.

I need to know who this guy is. I walk towards him, my eyes still on his as his eyes roam my body. I feel the heat build all over my body, just him staring at me wants me to throw all cautions to the wind. I get interrupted by my thoughts when one of the other guys comes running in front of me introducing himself as Ryder. I already know that he is a player with the way he is looking at me, smirking as he kisses my hand.

He is attractive in his own way with his spiky blond hair, bright green eyes. His body you can tell is toned but not as impressive as the one I’m interested in. Anyway, I know his game, trying to show that he is a gentleman even though I bet he is anything but. I hate that I need to drag my eyes away from the Greek God.

“Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Kacey,” I say with a smile. I walk away heading towards the guy I want to know the name of. I see the disappointment in Ryder’s eyes, but he will soon find out I’m not interested. I start to feel self-conscious with every step I take, but I hold it together. When I’m in front of him, looking up, he is a few inches taller than me, but I can just imagine wrapping my hand around his neck and pulling him to me as I feel his lips against mine. Wrapping my legs around his waist.

What the hell is happening to me? I never feel like this towards another person, why this guy?

“Hi, I’m Kacey,” I say without sounding like an idiot. I put my hand in front of us, I feel like an idiot now as this is the lamest thing I have ever done.

A handshake, really?

But when he touches his hand with mine, I gasp at the contact. His hands are big and easily cover mine. All too soon he has pulled away.

“I’m Aidan, the guy behind me is, Nick.” I feel my heart sink. This is my stepbrother? The fates hate me, I have never felt this pull towards anyone in my life. When I do, he is bloody family. I have been checking out my stepbrother. The thought then jumps in my head, I am going to be living with him, I am going to see him walk around half naked.

Life is so cruel.

Chapter 3

––––––––

Aidan

“Yo, man, when does your new sister arrive? Shouldn’t you be leaving by now?” I groan into my hands. God, I hate that I am going to have to put up with someone who is going to ruin my perfect life.

“She’s not my sister, and I will leave in a minute,” I say to my best mate Nick who I have known since kindergarten. I have been dreading this day since I found out five weeks ago my stepfather’s daughter is going to be staying with us. I sit near his pool watching everyone having fun but me.

“Bet she is a dog who will follow you like a lost puppy. School will be interesting on Monday,” Ryder chimes in, teasing me. I know he is probably right, bet she is one of those girls you need to put a brown paper bag over her head. I am not cruel, but I have a reputation that I need to maintain, Marc’s daughter is going to wreck it.

“You never know, she could be hot as anything. If that is the case, you are going to get a serious case of blue balls knowing you can’t lay a finger on her.” I look at Nick scowling at him. I would never look at my new stepsister like that, even if she is attractive. I can have any girl I want, I would never look at her like that.

“That’s sick, man, she is my stepsister.”

“Just saying, man, you guys have never met. You won’t see her as family, attractive or not.” God, I don’t need this.

“You know who is attractive and giving you the eye? Summer,” Ryder says, I look where he is staring and see that Summer is staring at me like she could eat me up any second. Summer is the most popular girl at our school, she is hot with her long straight blonde hair, blue eyes that gives her the innocent look, but trust me she is anything but innocent. She would fuck anyone over just to get what she wants. I would never touch her just knowing she would go completely psycho and think she has ownership over me. Her body is tempting, but I would never go there. She hates that I fucked every girl around me but her, but it doesn’t stop her from trying.

“Whatever, I’m leaving.” I stand, heading around the garden to where my car is parked.

“Let us join you, I need to see who is going to disrupt your life,” Ryder laughs catching up with Nick right behind him. I don’t want them coming, but a part of me does in case I need a quick getaway.

“What about everyone that’s still here?” I point at everyone.

“Nah, they will be fine for half an hour, have to admit I’m a little curious about who this girl is.” I shrug and we all pile in my car and drive off towards my house.

I am dreading meeting my new stepsister as I have no idea what to expect. My stepdad Marc has a handful of pictures of his daughter, but they are when she was a kid, I can’t really judge on them. I was a skinny, scrawny kid and now I filled out, wanted by any girl that spots me a mile away. I’m not big-headed, it’s a fact. I pray my new stepsister doesn’t try to get it on with me that will be just awkward and weird. When I park my car in my driveway all I see is images of an unattractive girl following me like my shadow, I shudder at the thought.

We all pile out, Ryder is snickering to Nick, shit I should have just told him to fuck off when he wanted to come along. I open the door and hear my mom laughing in the kitchen, I head towards her. I stop when I get to the doorframe. I see a very curvy girl leaning against the breakfast island, with her ass in the air, a very nice ass. I trail my eyes down to her very long legs, long legs that I can image wrapped around me, over my shoulders. God, I feel myself start to get hard by just looking at her and I haven’t seen her face yet. I hear her laugh with my mother, it has to be the sexiest laugh I have ever heard, it’s so carefree and real. I have completely forgotten my mother and friends are in the room, and I am fucking carrying a hard on.

“Aidan, you finally decided to grace us with your presence.” Mom says looking up at me with a warm smile. I quickly take my eyes off the sex Goddess that is in my kitchen, I don’t need my mom seeing that I am sporting an erection. “Come meet our new member of the family.” The erection quickly dies away when I realize this is my new stepsister I was checking out.

Shit.

I see my new stepsister turn around, fuck me, my erection comes booming back when I see her angelic face. Her skin is so flawless and white, her body is fucking sin on a stick, she has curves in all the right places. The white sundress she is wearing hugs everything showing off her perfect breasts, I can’t help but wonder if she has big, pink nipples. Great, I’m now imaging sucking on them, biting, bringing her to orgasm by just playing with them alone. Hearing her scream my name from her seductive mouth. Shit, I need to stop thinking about her like that. When I look back to her face, her eyes have gone big, I see her checking me out as she bites her lip. I need to stifle a groan, damn I’d love to bite that lip for her.

I can see lust pass through her eyes. When her eyes find mine, I feel like they are drawing me in, making me want to fulfill every dirty fantasy I have imaged in the last five minutes. Her eyes are so expressive. I can see lust and want. I see her cheeks flush, I definitely know then she was having dirty thoughts about me.

This is not good.

“Fuck me.” I hear from behind me. I completely forgot anyone else was in the room. I see Ryder walk around me. “Hi there, beautiful, I’m Ryder, nice to meet you.” He grabs her hand and gives it a kiss. I can’t help but feel angry that his lips have touched her, even if it’s just her hand. He is looking at her like he wants to fuck her right here in front of everyone, all I want to do is rip his head off.

Where has that come from? I am used to Ryder hitting on every girl that he sees, but this is different. I look back at her eyes, she is still staring at me, then looks away while smiling at Ryder.

“Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Kacey.” God her voice is so soft and gentle. Fuck why couldn’t she have been an ugly mess? She walks away from Ryder and walks towards me, I can’t help but watch her body sway with every movement. When she stands in front of me, looking up at me, biting her lip, I just want to push her against the wall and devour her mouth.

“Hi, I’m Kacey.” She stretches out her arm for me to shake her hand when my hand touches hers, I feel such an electric pull I have never experienced before. I quickly pull my hand back, what the fuck was that?

“I’m Aidan, the guy behind me is Nick,” I say casually, trying to make sure I sound unfazed by her. I see her pause for a second, what is she thinking? I watch her as she smiles at Nick shaking his hand, then she looks back at me biting her lip again before she walks back towards my mother. Already I hate not having her near me. I need to sort my head out. Think because I haven’t got laid in a few days has gotten to me. I have a hard appetite when it comes to sex, I think not having any in awhile is making me feel like a horny fourteen-year-old.

“You guys staying for dinner?” Mom asks bringing my thoughts away from my fuck as sin stepsister.

“Yeah we are,” Ryder quickly says before I could respond, he stands at Kacey’s side putting his arm around her shoulders. I hate that I want to rip his arm off and beat him to death with it. I definitely need to get laid soon.

“Guess we are,” I reply back to my mom as she starts taking out ingredients from the fridge. I feel eyes on me when I turn I see Kacey staring at me.

Yes, I need a good fuck ASAP.

––––––––

Chapter 4

Dinner was fucking torture, Ryder was all over Kacey and the worst thing is Marc didn’t stop it. If she were my daughter, I would kick his sorry ass out. She has been giggling at his jokes and I am this close to smashing his face in. He keeps winking at me, and it makes me even more pissed off with him. I can’t fucking say anything or he will think I am into her as well.

You are into her dumbass, my head yells at me.

Even if I am, it’s only because I need a willing person to suck me off then let me fuck her over and over. Kacey enters my head, on her knees unzipping me, as her wide eyes look into mine with so much hunger I could just cum there and then. I shake my head when I hear her laugh at something her dad said.

I think I am going shit crazy.

I am getting another hard on at the dinner table. I need to get out of here. I stand and everyone’s eyes are on me, the first person I look at is Kacey and just by the one look I know I need to keep her at arm’s length.

“Yo, man, where you going?” Nick asks, I look at him and realize I have hardly spoken to him, shit all this is fucking with my head.

“I need some air, you guys coming?” I know they have no choice but to come with me as this is my house if I go they go. I look at Ryder and see some anger in his eyes, but I don’t give a fuck. I’m going to have to tell him not to fuck with her. I don’t give a shit if he thinks that I want her to myself, I am not having his grubby hands on her.

“Yeah, bye, Kacey, was nice meeting you. Hope to see you around.” Ryder says as he stands up, she looks at him with a smile and a nod. I feel myself start to relax knowing I am getting away and getting Ryder away from her, too. I see her eyes land on me and I see a little disappointment there, too. Does she really like Ryder? Is she upset he is going? Just that in itself has pissed me off. I kiss my mom on the cheek and a wave to Marc as I yell over my shoulder I will return later.

Standing outside letting the fresh air hit me is so refreshing. I need space and time to get my thoughts together. I can’t keep having hard on’s in my own house around the parents. I need to start thinking of Kacey as a sister.

Easier said than done, though.

“What the fuck, man? I was totally in there and you decide now that you want to leave,” Ryder complains at the car. I feel anger build up and I grab him by his shirt and pin him against my car looking him straight in the eye.

“Listen you are not going fucking near her, she is my fucking family now, you are not getting your filthy hands on her. Got it?” I seethe at him, Nick has to pull me away telling me to calm down, but the smirk on Ryder’s face makes me want to punch him till I break his fucking nose.

“You like her,” Ryder says, not asking but telling.

“She is a nice person yeah, but the fact is she is my family and I won’t let you fuck her around, she deserves better than that, better than you.”

“What like you? Remember, she is family, you can’t fuck her. Is that what this is? If you can’t fuck her, no one can?” I don’t answer but glare at him.

That is not what I am saying is it? I just want her to do better than fuck face here.

“Come on, bro’s before hoes, let’s get back to my place and see what chaos everyone has left for me,” Nick says climbing in the car. I see Ryder smirk as he gets in the back, I know already this girl is going to fuck everything up. As I can sense her, I look up at the top window and see her there, staring down at me. I have to pull my eyes away, I get in my car and drive away. After the night I had, I need to pray there is a girl I am willing to bang still at the house, I need this frustration out of me.

I am standing there getting sucked off by a pretty redhead who I can’t remember the name of, she has a mouth like a hoover. I need to blow my load so badly I could scream. I pull this girls hair urging her take more of me. Hearing her moan, feeling the vibration along my hard dick makes me growl with such release when I cum inside this girls mouth. She sucks every last drop of me. I still feel like I need to cum again, not because of the girl kneeling in front of me licking her lips as she smiles, happy that I picked her out of her friends. They see me as some sort of prize, but they soon realize I’m not when I walk out of their lives after I hit my release. I hate that I’m still hard over the girl who I can’t get the fuck out of my head.

“Where you going?” The girl asks. I sigh knowing where this is going, she was expecting more. Everyone knows I don’t do relationships, they know I am just after one thing, yet they are surprised when I walk away. No one can tame me. I enjoy life as it is, and that is drama free, easy.

“You knew what this was,” I say as I head towards the door, what else more is there to say. I still feel sexually frustrated, but no one here is going to satisfy it tonight. I better just head back home, have a cold shower and try and sleep, even though I know the room opposite me is where my dick wants to go.

“I get what you’re after, but I was hoping we can have a hard fuck first.” I turn to see her now laid across the bed spreading her legs open, opening her wet folds with her fingers, tempting me. This girl wants a quick fuck, I need another release. I walk towards her, spreading her legs even more, smelling her arousal. My dick was already hard before and maybe giving into this girl will help. I unzip my jeans, kicking them aside along with my boxers.

I use my finger to spread her wetness, I hear her moan, arching into me. I quickly grab a condom from my jeans pocket, slide it on me and press my tip to her entrance. With one fast thrust, I am inside her. I don’t do gentle, never have. I fuck hard, I fuck fast. This is why every woman who meets me wants a turn, I am known by my name. I feel like a God in this town.   Worshipped.

Adored.

“Oh, God, yes, yes. Fuck, yes,” The girl screams, I feel her orgasm around me, tightening her hold on my dick, trying to milk it, with a few more thrusts I feel myself cum. I look at the girl, she looks high. I smirk. I pull out and take the condom off, tying it up and throwing it in the nearest trash.

“See you around,” I don’t get a response, think I fucked her into a coma. I zip up walking down the stairs trying to find where Nick is, hoping Ryder is fucking someone and is away from my face. There is just a handful of people left, guessing everyone must’ve headed back home.

“Hey, man, guess you gave her a good fuck, heard her screaming from here.” I walk towards Nick, who is sitting on the couch with a skinny blonde sat in his lap, she gives me a seductive smile, which I just ignore.

“What can I say?” I shrug. I sit there staring at the ceiling thinking what I am going to do with the stepsister situation. I need to head home and sleep this off. Think my brain needs a rest from all this thinking. “I’m heading off, see you tomorrow.” I give a fist bump and walk away still ignoring the girl on his lap. I would never hit on a girl Nick has claimed, Ryder, on the other hand, I would. He is an ass, it never stops him from trying to get girls I’m after. He sees it as competition, I see him as a jealous child at times.

Ryder and I were never like this. We were once really close playing football when we were kids, playing superheroes, but he started to change towards me when we reached high school, everything changed then. He is still in my life, as I feel obligated or something, it’s hard to describe. I walk towards my car and sigh when I get in. I stare at Nick’s house, I can see an image of us three playing cowboys on the front lawn when things were less complicated. With a final sigh, I drive back home.

Chapter 5

Kacey

Waking up, I stretch and look around my new room. Feels weird not waking up in my own bed. I lay there thinking about Aidan. I’ve been going over and over in my head on how he was looking at me, it was the same look I’m sure I was giving him. We both know we can’t go there, it’s wrong, taboo, forbidden. When I looked out my window last night and watched him argue with Ryder over something when he looked up staring into my eyes, I couldn’t look away, I hated that he did. I need to stop looking at him like that or our parents will start to notice. Will be embarrassing if they have to give a talk about how wrong it would be to start anything with one another.

Hold on, maybe he doesn’t want to start anything but to get in your panties, my head tells me. She is right, Diana, was saying he is popular with the ladies, indicating he is a player, a womanizer. Guys like him don’t do relationships. I may not be a saint, but I respect myself. I am not going to be a notch on his bed post. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to take a nice hot shower. I bring my own toiletries with me as well as a towel. This bathroom is so ridiculously massive. The bath looks like a Jacuzzi, the shower looks like you could fit about five people in.

I turn the shower on and get undressed as I wait for it to heat up. I can’t help but look around before stepping in shaking my head. You can tell this house must’ve cost a fortune. On the outside, it looks like a normal working class family home but on the inside it smells of money. Letting the heat run down my body I try and let go of all negative thoughts. It’s not my father’s fault that his house is better, bigger and more extravagant than mine. He has been kind when paying my mom child maintenance. Mom and I live a comfortable life.

I am happy with comfortable.

My head is running all over the place, one minute I forgive Dad for leaving us, the next I am pissed off at him. I need to get these emotions under control. Wrapping the towel around me, grabbing my things, I open the door to bang into a hard wall. I gasp when I realized I dropped everything by the fright. My towel is just hanging around my waist, still held up but only due to my stepbrother’s body pressed against mine. My breasts are against his naked chest. I can feel the heat from him. We are half naked, pressed against each other, God how embarrassing.

I try and pull back using one hand to grab the towel so I can quickly hide my cleavage, but he holds onto me tighter, pulling me closer to him. I let out a little moan when I feel his erection through his boxers pushed against my stomach. I’m sure I hear him growl. I pull away quickly once again, this time he lets me go. I quickly run back to my room. My breathing is coming so fast. I hear him walk back into his room. I sigh. Holy Jesus and Joseph. I walk to the desk and look into the mirror, I am flushed and I look dazed. In my mist to get back to my room, I forgot about my toiletries and pyjamas.

Dammit.

I walk to my door and hit my head against it a few times before opening it and looking at Aidan’s room, definitely don’t want to run into him anytime soon.

I run back to the bathroom, some of my things are on the floor, so I gather them and open the bathroom door to get the rest. Opening the door, I am shocked at what I am seeing. Aidan is against the sink, his boxers thrown away as he rubs himself.

I can’t move.

I am frozen watching him masturbate. His eyes are closed, I can hear his breathing coming in so fast, I’m sure my breathing is just the same. Watching him touch himself is the hottest thing I have ever seen. I so want to touch him. My eyes are transfixed on his hard erection, I don’t notice till my eyes look up into his that he is looking through the mirror watching me. He doesn’t stop, he just keeps going. He goes faster, yet I can’t look away. His eyes never leave mine. I look at his eyes through the reflection and can tell how hooded they are.

My whole body is shaking with such need. I am aching so badly between my thighs. Aidan closes his eyes when he releases himself. I watch the hot liquid squirt all of his hand and all over the sink. I wonder what it would taste like. I have given blowjobs before, but I haven’t swallowed. With his eyes still closed I make sure I have all my things and run back to my room. How many times today am I going to have these encounters with my stepbrother?

I’m sitting at the dining table with my dad and Diana eating bacon and eggs. Aidan hasn’t showed up yet. God, I feel so embarrassed, bet he feels the same, maybe that’s why he isn’t here yet. We need to talk, get what happened this morning passed us, and move on. Just thinking about talking to him is giving me butterflies. He is my stepbrother, I need to start seeing him as family.

“So what do you want to do today Kace?” Dad interrupts my thoughts. Which I am grateful for.

“Ummm, not sure. I only have today and tomorrow before I have to head to my new school so I might just sit by the pool, maybe read. Just want a relaxing weekend. If that’s okay?” I hope they don’t want me out of the house for a few hours. I have no clue on where anything is.

“That’s fine, sweetie, we just wanted to make sure you don’t feel you have to be cooped up in your room. I was thinking maybe we could go on a shopping spree tomorrow? Get some new things for school, now I have another girl in the house, I can stop dragging your father with me,” Diana says with a laugh. What girl says no to shopping?

“I love shopping, so count me in.” Diana squeals like a teenager happy she has another partner in crime. Dad and I laugh at her.

“Sorry, just excited. I love shopping, too. Your father thinks I go overboard when I hit the malls.”

“You do go overboard. You see a dress which you like, then you are like I need a bag to match, shoes to match, then the accessories. God, it’s never ending.” He throws his hands up in the air.

“I want to make sure I look good, sue me,” Diana says with a wave of her hand.

“If I could sue I would, but seriously you always look good,” Dad says before kissing her on the forehead, then grabbing the plates and taking them to the kitchen.

“I always look good because I have the right accessories,” she yells over, and chuckles. They are good together. I really do like Diana, but why couldn’t he be like that with my mom? “Right, tomorrow you and me, I’m so excited.” I look at Diana and see she really is.

“Yeah me, too.” I give a warm smile back.

“Excited about what?” My whole body tenses up, I completely forgot about Aidan. Please don’t let this be awkward.

“Kacey and I are going shopping tomorrow. You can join us if you want.” I look straight at Diana, I’m sure my eyes are bugging out. She is smirking at Aidan.

“Hell no, rather eat dog shit,” he says with disgust.

“Aid, language,” Dad says coming in with a plate of bacon and eggs for Aidan.

“Sorry, but it will feel like someone will be putting pins in my eyes. Torture.”

“Lovely, so just you and me, Kacey.”

“Great, looking forward to it. Need to look out for some ankle boots that matches this skirt, I want to wear to school on Monday.” I say.

“Please, no clothes talk when I’m eating breakfast. My ears can’t take it.” I look across from me to see Aidan is looking at his plate.

“So tell me, what kind of skirt is it?” Diana asks, ignoring her son's plea.

“Mom,” Aidan grumbles. I look at Diana to see she is raising an eyebrow at me, I can’t help but smile at the game she wants to play.

“Oh, it’s a nice, short black skirt. Very smart but sexy at the same time.”

“Oh God, please stop talking about skirts.”

“What top do you think you will be wearing to go with it?” She ignores her son again, it takes a lot of me not to laugh.

“I was thinking of this white tank, and matching it with my short leather jacket I have.”

“That’s it, I am out of here.” Aidan stands and puts his plate away. Diana and I burst out laughing, she gives me a high five.

“You are so bad,” Dad says with a chuckle.

“What? We were just having girl talk,” Diana says acting all innocent.

“Mom you suck,” Aidan comes in and kisses her on the cheek.

“Don’t I know it?” She winks at my dad, I’m sure his cheeks, as well as mine, blush bright red.

“You’re gross, well I am staying at Nick’s might be back late tomorrow night, so I will just see you Monday morning.” I’m not going to see him for the rest of the weekend? Why do I feel upset by that?

“That’s fine, but remember you are taking, Kacey, to school on Monday so make sure you do come back, or else.” She says the last bit sternly. He looks at me, it’s the first time he has looked at me and I see his eyes heat up, I’m sure my breathing stops. He quickly looks away and shakes his head, trying to clear his thoughts.

“Yeah no problem,” he quickly says. He looks at me one more time and walks away. I watch him walk out the door. Not going to see him till Monday, need this time to get my brain to its senses.

––––––––

Chapter 6

Aidan

I couldn’t get away from the house fast enough. I jump in my car and head straight back to Nick’s. Today has been one fucked up day. I wake up with a huge hard on, to the point it is kind of painful. I need another fucking release. I hate as soon as I open up my bedroom door I could smell her. She has been here a day and the place already smells of her. Her walking out of that bathroom, her body pushed up against mine didn’t help any with the boner that I’m sure she could feel. Feeling her wet skin against me was more than torture. Just knowing she was naked. I could have pinned her against the wall and fucked her. I could feel she wanted it, too, her heart was beating so fast, fuck just thinking of her is making me hard all over again.

After the towel incident I had to have a release, I would have had a case of blue balls for the rest of the day. I could always find a good easy fuck, but after last night I know it would hardly take the edge off. Her watching me jerk off was the hottest thing I could ever witness. Her eyes on me, wanting me. She never left, she waited till I came before leaving. Fuck I need to forget about what happened this morning. Need to forget her soft white skin against mine, her big expressive eyes, and her fucking kissable lips. I hit the steering wheel a few times. God this fucking bitch has fucked up my way of thinking, my once perfect life.

Heading inside of Nick’s, I see a few people outside near the pool. Not surprised, these people like to party early. Grabbing a beer from the fridge in the kitchen I down all the contents before grabbing another. I need to relax. I need a good fuck.

“Slow down there cowboy,” I hear from behind me. I turn to see Summer standing there, seductively smiling at me. Even though I need a fuck, no way in hell would I ever touch her. Her pussy would probably eat my dick off.

“Hey, Summer,” I say before walking towards the pool, but she grabs my arm and pushes me against the wall, catching me off guard.

“Was wondering if you fancied a good... long... fuck...” She says slowly and seductively as she pushes herself against my erection. I need to keep down a groan, or she will know she is breaking down my walls against her. Her tricks don’t normally faze me but with this new girl in my life, I’m constantly hard and wanting. I can feel her rubbing against me, breathing so fast, I’m sure her bikini panties are soaked. For one second, I am fucking tempted, but I know what Summer is like, this will never be a one-time thing, she will want more, and expect more. I push her away. I see the confusion all over her face.

“Summer, I told you before we aren’t going there.”

“You fucked every girl but me, I am the hottest girl in school. Yet you deny yourself from this.” She waves her hand up and down her body. Yes, her body is smoking, but it’s her personality that puts me off.

“I know you, Summer, you would expect more from me, so no. The sex wouldn’t be worth it.” I walk away from her, luckily the whole talk has put a damper on my erection. I hear her yell fuck you behind me, but I ignore it.

Not the first time I heard her say those words to me. I see Nick sitting on a lounge chair with a different girl from last night, she is sitting in between his legs, they are people watching. I walk over and sit on the lounge chair next to him. We fist bump and sit quietly watching everyone either talking or laughing. Nick has a weird sense of able to read people. He is a quiet guy, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t pick up information from what’s going on around him.

“My man, any shit been going on since last night?” I ask, not able to take the silence much longer. I don’t know how someone can just sit there and watch and not do anything, to me it’s just plain boring.

“Well, Summer was telling her girls that she was going to fuck you, but take it you turned her down again.” I sigh, God, how does he hear this shit?

“Yeah she tried her evil tricks in your kitchen, but told her what I always told her. No.” Not going to touch a psycho.

“Don’t blame ya, she’s been trying to get her claws in you for a while. To me, I think she is obsessed. Least you’re not nuts to go there, unlike Ryder.” Yeah, Ryder went there, he hates the fact that she isn’t interested in more. Nick and I know that she went there to try and piss me off, but it didn’t work. Ryder is pissed off that he has to keep watching her try and come on to me. He knows I’m not interested, but to him he feels he has to prove something.

“Well she ain’t touching this dick, Ryder is turning into someone I don’t know anymore. He’s changed man, he is starting to get on my fucking nerves.” I lean my head back and try to relax. “Banged into my new member of the family this morning, trust me both times I saw her it wasn’t PG-13.”

“You fucked her already?” Nick sits up, the girl stands and kisses his cheek before walking away. He watches her till she is with a few of her friends, then looks back at me with shock in his eyes. Why does he looked shocked? I never did, but I could have.

“What? No. She just had a shower and when she opened the door, she banged into me dropping her towel. Didn’t see much, but what I did see left me with a fucking hard on. I had to jerk off to ease the pain, so I was doing what I was doing, when I looked into the mirror, I saw her standing there watching me. It was so fucking hot, I never came so hard in my fucking life. Man, I’m royally screwed.”

“Fuck man, you do know you can’t go there. Even if she is turned on by you, I can tell she is a good girl. She isn’t the type like half the girls here who are happy for a one night fuck. You can’t just fuck her and expect her to be okay with it. Plus she lives there so you will have to see her every day. The main thing, she is your stepsister. I know you just met, but I don’t think Marc and your mother would be thrilled by it, especially Marc. He knows you’re a player, he wouldn’t want his daughter near you romantically.” I know he is right. I know all this, but it still doesn’t help that I want to fuck her every time I see her.

“Man, I know all this, but try telling my dick that.” I sigh pointing at my package.

“You need to think of something that will help with your sexual frustration. Something that will keep your head busy. It’s the only way till she moves back home. It’s a few months, you can do this.” Nick pats my leg and stands up to get some more beers. I need to think of something that will keep my head busy, easier said than done. What can I do? I need to think of something to focus all my energy on. I’m sure it will come to me eventually.

“Thought of anything?” Nick asks plopping back down in his seat, handing me a can. He was only gone five minutes.

“In the whole five minutes I came up with nothing,” I say sarcastically.

“Thought as much. I was thinking why don’t you treat her as a brother would treat his sister? Tease her, pick on her, wind her up. So she looks at you with nothing but annoyance, then lust. You will soon just do it naturally you will no longer see her as a hot thing in your house.” That’s not a bad idea. I can focus all my thoughts on how to wind her up. She will stop looking at me like she wants me, I will stop looking at her like I want to fuck her. This plan is perfect.

“I knew I kept you around for a reason,” I say tapping my can with his. I take a long gulp planning on what my first move should be.

Chapter 7

Kacey

All day Saturday I sat by the pool and read, the only time I came back into the house was to use the bathroom or to eat with Diana and my dad. It was such a relaxing day that my mind started to drift away from Aidan. Sunday morning came and I am sitting in a car with a driver taking us to the shopping mall. Another reason you can tell they have money, a personal driver. Diana insists with all the shopping we are going to be doing she wouldn’t want to drive after. She wasn’t kidding either, she takes me to every shop, insisting I try everything that catches my eye. I have bags and bags of clothes that I can’t wait to wear. Diana has just bought as much clothing. Every time I tried to pay for something, she waved my hand away saying it was dealt with. I felt guilty at first but soon, I was drugged with the clothing bug.

The one thing that I love though are my new boots, I got two pairs of ankle boots, a pair of knee high boots and some fuck me heels. Shoes are my best friends. We are driving back home and I see blame, why Diana didn't want to drive, carrying all those bags, was exhausting. I feel like I have just been at the gym. Today has been such a blast. We are laughing and giggling when we walk through the door. We sit straight on the couch re-showing what we bought. I am holding a tight light blue dress against me, Diana is holding some sexy lingerie, which I try and snatch off her. She is holding it out of my reach, I am climbing on her to get it back. We are both laughing so hard, I think I am going to pee myself, when Dad walks through the door, with the lingerie still in the air. God this is so embarrassing.

“Please don’t tell me that is what I think it is?” He grumbles as he sits on the couch opposite us. Diana laughs and hands me the lingerie, I quickly push it in any bag closest to me.

“Oh, Honey, she is almost eighteen, every girl her age has them,” Diana says as she grabs her bags and starts to walk the stairs to her room. I quickly grab my things and follow. I need to get away. Dad did not need to see that.

I stay in my room for the rest of the day. I can feel my face turn red every time I think of Dad seeing my lacy lingerie. No idea when I will wear it, but Diana insists every girl my age should own a pair. My underwear is modest but not boring. I just always went for more comfortable when choosing.

“Kacey, tea is ready,” Dad yells to me. I sigh and walk downstairs hoping no one will bring it up.

“Hey, Dad, I’m here.” I sit in my seat and watch Diana place the food on the table. It smells so good my stomach starts to rumble. I don’t know how she does it. I help myself piling on reasonable amounts on my plate and dig in. The conversation is light and luckily no one brings up the lingerie.

“Aidan say when he was coming back tonight?” Dad asks Diana. I feel myself straighten up paying attention to the conversation.

“He never said, but he knows he’s driving Kacey to school tomorrow. You looking forward to school tomorrow, Kacey?”

“Yeah, a little nervous, new school and all, but happy I got some kick ass boots to wear.”

“You are a looker, bet you make friends in seconds. Aidan is well looked up to there so you shouldn’t have any problems.” My heart sinks, the girls will probably either hate me for being in some way related to Aidan or try and use me to get close to him. I am going to see him surrounded by girls every day. This should be a good thing, help me see that I can never have him anyway but try telling my head that.

“We will see,” I reply and get back to my food. Soon as I finish, I put my plate away and say I am going to have an early night. I feel so nervous. I hate that I don’t know what to expect. I hate I will have no friends. I put on a pair of short, shorts and a tank, and head to the bathroom to get washed. The whole school thing keeps playing in my head, when I walk into the hallway, I once again bang into a hard wall. I really need to start looking where I am going when leaving the bathroom. I look up and see Aidan smirking at me.

Aidan’s eyes are menacing, I don’t know why he is looking at me like that, but I start to feel uncomfortable. I try to move to the side to walk around him, but he side steps me blocking my path, I try the other side, he blocks me again. What is he playing at?

“Excuse me,” I say looking up, he is still smirking at me. Already I hate that smirk. Is he trying to piss me off on purpose?

“What’s the rush, doll face? Thinking about rubbing one, want to watch?” I gasp by what he has asked me. I feel my face turn bright red.

“I want to get to my room, please.” I try to side-step him again, but he blocks me. He walks me backward till my back hits the wall. He blocks me in by putting his hands against the wall on both sides near my face and leans in. I stop breathing, he is so close. He moves closer and I feel his breath against my lips.

“Want a fuck little, sis? I’m sure I can accommodate you, as you are family and all.” He says and I feel sick. Why did he have to say fuck and family in the same sentence? Doesn’t he realize how wrong that sounded? I put my hands on his chest, ignoring the contact and push him away from me.

“You are sick, go fuck yourself.” I spit out and head to my room.

“I will let you do that, you know where I am, just a knock away.” I slam my door shut. I am standing in the middle of the room, ticked off. He hasn’t really spoken more than a few words to me and he spits out all that shit over me. Is he drunk?

Ugh. What an ass.

I try and read on my kindle, but Aidan’s words stick in my head. I get frustrated and pissed off all over again. This is the type of guy he is. I feel so shallow that I was crazy over how he looked, that I ignored what kind of person he is. How does he get laid if this is how he talks to women? I eventually fall asleep thinking of dark blue eyes.

––––––––

Aidan

Standing so close to her was such fucking torture. I could smell her, it made me so hard, but I knew I had to put my energy into making her life a misery. When the words fuck, sis and family popped out of my mouth I knew I went too far. I made myself sound like a sicko. I never tried to mess with anyone before, so all this is new, but it worked. I saw the anger and disgust in her eyes, on her face. I smile at a good start, but laying on my bed thinking it over, part of me hates that the look she normally gave me was want and now turned to disgust. I need to keep this going, though, I know that. In a few months, she will be gone and I can continue with my life.

I wake up and go through my normal routine of shower, getting dressed, then breakfast. I am disappointed that I didn’t have another run-in with Kacey, but at the same time should be happy I haven’t. All these mixed emotion is giving me a headache. Walking downstairs to my mom and Kacey laughing puts a damper on things. They are getting along and I know I am about to make Kacey’s life hell. I sit down and ignore the conversation going on around me concentrating on the food in front of me.

“You hear me Aid?” Mom asks me. I was so tuned out, I never heard a thing.

“Sorry, Mom, was in my own world. What’s up?”

“I was saying make sure you take Kacey to school safely and take her to the school's office.” I look across and see Kacey is staring intently at her plate. Suppose last night did work, she won’t even look at me.

“Sure thing, Mom.” I stand and start to get my things together. I wait near the door and wait for Kacey to join me.

I am trying to think of a new way to tease her when I see her walk towards me with Mom and Marc, but all my attention is on my stepsister. She is wearing a short black mini skirt, a white top that shows a bit of her flat stomach, covered by an open leather jacket. It’s her knee high black heeled boots that make the look complete. She looks like a bad girl. I can’t help but groan, what is this girl trying to do to me? I am trying to stop seeing her sexually and she wears shit like this.

“Make sure you look after her,” Marc says giving my shoulder a shake. That shake helps me pull my head out the gutter.

“No problem, let’s go.” I walk straight to my car, I can’t look back or my brain will turn to mush. I sit and wait as I hear Mom and Marc yell all sorts to, Kacey. When the door opens, I watch her legs glide in, I feel my dick harden. Her skirt rides up further up her thigh. I hit my head against the steering wheel. Is God punishing me?

“You okay?” I hear the soft voice caress me. Yup God is punishing me.

“I’m fine, baby doll. Let’s get this over with.” I pull out the car and take us both to school.

All the way there we stayed quiet. I glimpsed at her every now and then noticing she is looking out the window. My eyes always hit on her legs. Why did she have to be fucking gorgeous? I would have been happier if she looked like the elephant man. But life is never simple. When I pulled into the school parking lot, I can tell she is nervous. I wish I could comfort her, but I know I can’t. I need her to see me as an asshole. If I have no control to keep us apart, I need to make sure she will. I get out of my car, I know what I have to do, I hate what I’m about to do, but it needs to be done. I walk towards where Nick and our group would be.

I see Nick and stand next to him, giving him a fist bump, he looks behind me, I’m sure where Kacey has followed. I turn and there she is, looking at her surroundings, I see the fear in her eyes. This is where my next act has to start. I walk to the first girl I see and pull her to my side. No clue what she is called, but she is happy with the attention. I look at Summer to see she doesn’t look happy, well tough shit princess. I see her eyes spot Kacey, I know she is sizing her up, wondering who the new girl is. I need Kacey to go before Summer spits out her poison all over her.

“The office is through those doors, down the hall and to the left,” I yell over to Kacey, she looks at me with horror and confusion. I hate that she is looking like a deer caught in headlights, but I need to keep the act up. She looks at me, then the entrance and at me again. I see her lips wobble. I know I’m about to break, hold her and take her like I should, but she nods her head and walks off.

I’m about to walk towards her, but Nick stops me shaking his head. He knows that I decided to make her life shit, but God I feel like the scum of the earth. I watch her enter the front doors and out of sight. Already I feel something in the pit of my stomach. The girl I latched onto is running her finger up and down my chest, giggling to her friends. I don’t need this shit, I walk away from her, seeing her disappointment, but it’s not her I give a shit about.

“It’s alright mate, it’s for the best,” Nick whispers in my ear. I nod, what else can I do?

“Who’s the new girl?” Summer asks, looking where Kacey left. I hate that she is intrigued by her. Like fuck I will let Summer’s evil ways go near Kacey, the only person who will treat her like shit is me. God, that totally sounds fucked up, but I know Summer, she will go to all lengths to make sure Kacey’s life is pure hell to the point she will be a shell of a person. I have seen it happen. Summer hasn’t been like that in a long time, but I know she is a bully. A pure vindictive bully. I don’t even know how she became a part of our group.

“She is staying at Aidan’s for a few months, ain’t that right, Aidan?” Ryder walks towards us, smiling. Yeah, I am going to kick his ass soon, I can feel it coming.

Chapter 8

Kacey

Don’t cry, don’t cry. I tell myself over and over. What did I expect? Aidan to walk me everywhere holding my hand like a baby? I just didn’t think he would just feed me to the wolves. I walk through the entrance and see the other kids check me out, well size me up more like. Some guys wink at me, as some girls look like they want to hit me in the face. I walk quickly following Aidan’s directions, sure enough I find the office. I walk through the doors and see a huge desk that says reception. I walk towards it seeing a nice old lady with curly gray hair, she smiles at me when she sees me.

“Hi young lady, can I help you?” I return her smile.

“Hi, I’m new, I was told to come here, my name is Kacey Vermont.”

“Oh yes, welcome. I have your class schedule and a school map if you get lost. A student will be here any second to take you to your first class. We thought teachers taking new students is a little embarrassing, so we use a buddy system now. Just take a seat, I’m sure she won’t be long.” She hands me over the papers and shakes my hand.

“Thank you.” I sit and look through my schedule. Algebra, yes, love math, English Literature, gym class, which I am not looking forward to. Just hope I make friends quickly.

“Hi, you must be, Kacey.” I look up to see a girl with blonde hair tied up, brown eyes, cute little nose, and a shy smile. She is naturally pretty, but I’m sure she keeps to herself by just looking at her.

“Hi, yes I’m, Kacey, thanks for showing me to my first class.” I shake her hand. I feel stupid, but don’t know what else to do, this is all new to me.

“I’m Rebecca, it’s no problem, glad I can help. I know this can seem very scary. Some students here can be very up themselves, but I knew instantly you weren’t one, as soon as you shook my hand.” She giggles, I chuckle back.

“Yeah, knew it was a stupid move as soon as I had done it. But glad you know I’m not like everyone else.”

“Nah, glad you did, come on we both have Homeroom first period on a Monday then it’s to Algebra. We basically have the same classes, so if you want to hang with me, that’s no problem.” Oh, thank the baby Jesus.

“Thank you, you are a Godsend, was worried I was going to be a little loner if you’re sure you don’t mind?”

“I wouldn’t have offered if I weren't sure. Come on.” She guides me down the hallways, pointing at bathrooms and classrooms, which I’m pretty sure I will forget within an hour. Rebecca tells me I will get assigned a locker but it may take a few days, but I can share with her if I need to. Already I like her, she is so nice.

When we walk into Homeroom everyone looks up and stares at me. Yeah, I don’t feel like an animal at a zoo. Rebecca guides us to two spare seats and we sit down. I look around and everyone is still staring at me. My eyes are caught though on a pair of dark blue eyes. Aidan is staring at me, I can’t tell what he is thinking, but I know he isn’t happy. I look away quickly. I wonder if I have other classes with him.

“I would hate to be you, everyone is staring,” Rebecca leans over and whispers.

“Yeah I never noticed.” We both laugh.

“Hi, you must be the new girl, I’m Ryan.” I look up to see a cute guy with messy brown hair and brown eyes. He is very cute, his smile is infectious, I can’t help but smile back.

“Hi, is it that obvious I’m new?” I ask sweetly.

“Trust me, I would know if you went to this school.” I blush a little. “Hi, Rebecca.”

“Hi Ryan, this is Kacey.”

“Kacey.” He says my name, like he is trying how it sounds. “If you ever need anyone to show you around school or town, let me know.”

“I will.” He smiles and sits on the opposite side of the room with his friends, they look disappointed he got to me first. I am not some piece of meat people, I yell in my head.

“Ryan is a good guy. He is probably one of the only ones who isn’t a man whore.” I look behind me, Aidan is looking at his phone pissed off, I wonder why he looks so pissed. “That’s Aidan, he is definitely not a good guy, he has basically slept with every girl at this school.” I look at her, wondering if she ever slept with him, she looks at me knowing what I’m thinking. “Oh God, hell no. I have some respect.”

“Sorry, was just curious. Plus he is my new stepbrother.” I shrug. She looks at me with her mouth hanging open.

“No way, he is your stepbrother? What’s it like living in the same house as him?”

“I just met him on Friday, never met him before that. I kind of hated my dad, haven’t seen him in six years. Now I’m stuck here. My dad and I are trying to rectify our relationship, his wife, Aidan’s mom is lovely. Aidan on the other hand...” I think of Saturday morning with the bathroom incident to him rudely asking if I needed a fuck. “I don’t get him.” I realize I just spat out my life story. “Sorry, you didn’t need to know all that.”

“Wow, that must be hard, though. Seeing your father after all that time, meeting the new family. Must be weird.” I shrug.

“It is, but we are trying.”

“I’m sorry to pry. You’re just so nice, Aidan isn’t though. He isn’t mean, but he keeps to his popular crowd. Sleeping with anything with a vagina if they are willing.” That’s something I don’t need to keep hearing.

“Well good for him. I’m not like that. I have self respect, too.” Rebecca smiles.

“Away from your new stepbrother, we need to plan something for the weekend so the week flies in. How about a girly sleepover?” I love sleepovers. I am a proper girly girl.

“Sounds good, we can do facials, make popcorn, and watch movies...”

“Do our nails, talk about hot boys who we will never have a shot with, well you will probably have a shot with.” I look at her, is she mad? She is beautiful.

“You are gorgeous. You have the girl next door look, any guy should be biting their arm to get with you.”

“The guys here want drop dead gorgeous, and girls willing to put out.”

“Well, too bad we aren’t sluts then, huh?”

“I like you already.” I beam with a huge smile.

“Ditto.”

Chapter 9

We talk about our weekend, I can’t wait. I made a friend, even if it’s just one, it’s one I know I can trust and get on with. I need to ring Viv when I get home. She is my best friend back home, I told her I needed the weekend to adjust. I know she will be dying to know what my dad’s new family would be like. I know she is going to scream when I tell her about my new stepbrother. Just thinking about home makes me feel a little homesick.

We walk into Algebra, the teacher writing on the board is so bloody hot. He hardly looks old enough to teach. I need to make sure I pay extra attention or I’m going to flunk. Rebecca and I sit side by side again, she is ogling at the teacher as well. I can’t help but look at the teacher’s ass, blimey. He is H.O.T hot.

“You’re drooling.” I hear Rebecca whisper next to me. I look at her playful eyes and hit her arm.

“Not my fault the teacher is some sex God.” I look forward again to see Aidan standing in front of me with a scowl. I feel my cheeks burn right up. Oh, God, he heard me. He walks past me. I hear Rebecca giggle.

“I’m sorry, but the look on your face. The look on his face was priceless. I think you scared him.” I look back and Aidan is looking at me. Why does he keep staring at me angrily? He’s really starting to irritate me.

––––––––

Aidan

Is the world fucking playing with me? What are the chances she ends up in most of my classes? I feel the world is laughing at me, taunting me. Watching every guy eyeing her, looking at her like she is their next fuck is driving me crazy. Her laugh runs right through me, I just want to say ‘fuck it’ and pin her to her table and fuck her till she screams my name over and over. I can just picture her tight pussy, clenching on my hard dick, milking me. How am I meant to act like an ass when all I want to do is fuck her senseless?

I’m sitting here at my usual table watching her eat her lunch with that girl Rebecca. She is cute, but you can tell a mile off she is a virgin. I never touch virgins, I have some morals. I try to distract myself by joining the conversation between Nick and the guys, but my heart just ain’t in it. I need to do something to let go of this pent up frustration. An idea clicks in my head. I tell Nick I will be right back and stand, heading towards Kacey.

I can tell when she feels me come closer, it’s like she can sense me. Rebecca stops talking and stares wide-eyed at me, she really is cute, too bad it’s not her I’m after. I sit in the chair next to Kacey, she doesn’t look at me. She is pretending to ignore me, but I can see from the movements of her chest she is breathing heavily, it takes so much control not to crash my lips against hers.

“Hey, doll face. Miss me?” I say huskily. I can see Rebecca watching from me to Kacey wondering if she should say anything, but I know girls like her, she doesn’t do confrontation. “You’re not speaking to me?” She still ignores me. I need to get a reaction out of her.

“You know you watched me jerk off, maybe it’s my turn to watch you.” There’s the reaction I’m after. Her face burns red, and I can tell she is embarrassed. I can’t stop, I feel such a release that I have to continue. “When you stood there, watching me stroke myself, did it turn you on? Were you wet? Were you imagining my hard dick inside you, thrusting faster and faster?” Fuck, don’t know who is getting more turned on, me, Kacey or Rebecca?

“I think you should go” I look across to Rebecca, her cheeks are flushed, too, I smirk at her.

“You think I should go, Kacey?” I say closer to her ear, smelling her strawberry scent. I feel her shudder against me.

“Why are you doing this?” She whispers to me, I look into her eyes, I see the sadness there. Part of me starts to feel guilty about what I am doing. I am sure a few people around us heard our conversation, it won’t take long for it to get around school Kacey has watched me jerk off.

I stand up looking at her, I need to remember why I am doing this. “I want to see how long it will take till you open your legs for me,” I say making sure I’m heard. I hear her gasp. She stands up and walks close to me, staring up at me, capturing her eyes with mine, next thing I know I feel a sharp pain across my cheek. She just slapped me? I can’t believe she hit me.

“I would never touch you, you prick,” she grabs her things, I watch her silently, still shocked that she hit me. I must’ve really pushed her buttons, I watch Rebecca get her things together, too. “Stay the fuck away from me.” She walks away. I look around the cafeteria noticing everyone is staring with their mouths open. I am king at this school, I need to make sure I stay on top.

“Who bets I can fuck her before she leaves?” All the guys cheer as they start betting if she will indeed open her legs for me. I shouldn’t have said it, but it’s too late now, it’s done.

Chapter 10

Kacey

“I still can’t believe you slapped him, you are officially my hero,” Rebecca says walking us to gym class. I am so hurt and angry I need to punch something. How dare he talk to me like that. Telling basically anyone within hearing distance that I watched him masturbate. People are going to think I’m some pervert or something now. “I bet he is still in shock. He is a God at this school and you just showed everyone he is indeed like the rest of us.”

“He was being an ass, I wasn’t going to let him get away with it. I have feelings and he just shit all over them.” I say, as Rebecca hands me some gym clothes, we get ready together. We stay in the corner so no one can hear our conversation. Some girls are already eyeing me up. The way I feel right now, I would throat punch every single one of them.

“Is it true though? Did you watch Aidan, umm... touch himself?” She asks, I look at her and see her cheeks go red knowing she is embarrassed for asking.

“Yes, I did.” I sigh. “I was going to the bathroom to get my things when I saw him there, I was shocked, frozen on the spot. I wish I left, but I didn’t. Bet you think I’m some sicko now or something.” I didn’t want to tell her that I banged into him with just a towel that fell to my waist. Don’t want to freak the poor girl out.

“I really don’t blame ya. I am a good girl. I was brought up right but if I saw that, I probably wouldn’t have been able to move either. What girl wouldn’t have watched something like that? Tell me one thing, though, was it hot?” I laugh at the question.

“Yes, it was so ridiculously hot. But at the end of the day, he is my stepbrother, and he is acting like a complete asshole, so I can’t think things like that.”

“You’re Aidan’s stepsister right?” I see three girls walk up to me. It’s the one in the middle that asked me the question. She must be their leader. Every school has one.

“Yeah, what’s it to you?” I should have been nicer, but I can see this girls true colors a mile away. She is the queen bitch.

“Is it true you watched your stepbrother rub one off?” The queen bitch asks as the other two giggle. I feel myself getting warm, but I know if they think they can put me down, they will see me as an easy target.

“Yeah I did. I watched him stroke himself, I watched how hard he got, when his eyes met mine, I thought he couldn’t stroke hard enough. He came so fast and so hard it was unreal.” The three girls are staring at me with shock, but the queen bitch looks pissed off. If you don’t like the answer, don’t ask the question.

“You’re sick.” She says with venom in her voice.

“Aidan must be, too, as he keeps trying to get between my legs. Talk to him.” I grab Rebecca’s hand and we walk towards the gym.

“Do you know who you just talked to?” I shrug. I just needed to get out of there. I don’t think Aidan really wants to fuck me, think he is trying to wind me up, and it’s working. “That’s, Summer, she is the most popular girl in school. She has been trying for years to get with Aidan, but he never touches her.” Well, that’s interesting, he must know she is a complete bitch then.

“Well I don’t care if she is the queen of England, she was trying to put me down, I don’t let anyone give me shit. I am a strong person and no two-faced bully is wrecking my life, especially for the few months that I am here.”

“I forgot you are only here for a short while,” Rebecca says quietly, I see she is upset. It then clicks that she hasn’t introduced me to any of her friends. She must not have any. How can a lovely girl like Rebecca not have friends?

“Hey, you are stuck with me for six months, then after that you can visit me back at home for the summer. We will stay in touch. You are stuck with me for life, girl.” I tell her, bumping my shoulder with hers.

“Really, you wouldn’t mind me visiting you after graduation?”

“I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it.” I throw her words back at her. She gives me a huge smile and then she hugs me tightly.

“Stuck with each other for life.”

“For life.”

“Get a room you lesbians.” I look across at a smirking Summer. I met her ten minutes ago and I already despise the cow.

“Why, jealous Malibu Barbie, move along, nothing to see,” I say doing a sweeping movement with my hands. She sneers and walks to the end of the gym.

“I love you already.”

“Didn’t you hear, we are lovers, you’re meant to love me,” we both burst out into laughter.

The last class of the day is Drama, I hate that Rebecca isn’t in this class. In just the one day of knowing her, I feel I’ve known her my whole life. With me, she is an open, beautiful person but to others she is the cute, shy girl. I really need to help build up her confidence. I am sitting in a theater on the front row, waiting for the rest of the class to join. I see a tall woman with long gray hair on stage, watching us all. I feel someone sit behind me, by the hairs standing on my neck I know who it is.

“We need to stop meeting up like this, doll face.” I hear him behind me, but I ignore it, hoping the teacher will start class soon. “If you keep ignoring me, I have more secrets I will have to dish out. Do you want people knowing about the towel incident, your naked breasts against my chest?” I feel the anger build up, how dare he throw what were accidents in my face. Fair enough watching him masturbate wasn’t really an accident, but it was a mistake on my part.

“Leave me the fuck alone.” I turn back around, hoping he gets the hint.

“Or what? You’re going to tell Daddy? Then you will have to explain how his good little girl watched her stepbrother let one go in the bathroom. He won’t be as understanding as me.” I know I can’t tell my dad, but he doesn’t need to rub my face in it.

“I just want you to leave me alone. Can you pester some other poor soul?” I plead.

“Nah, I have too much fun with you. Why would I want to spoil my fun by going to someone else? Anyway, have you had a fun day so far?” I roll my eyes at him. “If you don’t answer, I will make you regret it.”

“Is that a threat?”

“It’s a promise. So how was your first day?” Is he for fucking real?

“Well, I had a good start as I made a new friend. Then my stupid ass stepbrother had to mention me watching him masturbate in a public place and now the most popular girl at school tried to throw that information in my face. Now I’m being threatened to talk or my life will be even worse than what it is, happy?” I say all in one go.

“Is Summer saying shit to you?” Aidan growls, I have to move away a little from the anger I see in his eyes.

“She tried, but I told her that I watched you stroke yourself, getting harder and going faster when you saw me and that you have been trying to get between my legs ever since. So I held my own.” Aidan bursts out laughing.

“You did not say that to her?” I can’t help but smile at him, seeing his carefree face. This is who I fantasized, who I lusted for, too bad he isn’t like this all the time.

“Ask, Rebecca, she was there.”

“Oh my God, I wish I saw her face.”

“It was priceless, the shock was so funny.” We both laugh and smile at each other, Aidan then looks like he realized something.

“I am going to see if I can get a quick fuck after school, later’s.” Aidan stands and walks away, it’s like he couldn’t get away fast enough. Hope he stops messing with me now.

––––––––

Chapter 11

Aidan

Fuck, Summer has approached Kacey. This is not good. I’m glad Kacey can take care of herself, but fuck, Summer will see her as a threat, and now a challenge. I’m not surprised Summer has kicked off, every guy has been talking about the new fresh meat, the new pussy they want to try out. I want to kick every one of their asses. I don’t know why I even give two fucks about one simple girl. Normally I don’t give a shit if a guy wants to bang someone, normally I’ve been there first, but I never cared. These feelings are fucked up. Maybe I’m going insane?

Hearing her stand up to Summer, though, was the hottest thing I ever heard, just hearing her describe how I jerked off, got me hard. My goal was to piss her off, it worked for like two seconds. I had to get away, her smiling at me, looking at me with those big brown eyes, I felt her warming to me, that’s the last thing I want to happen. I had to show her I fuck and that’s it.

I sit with a group of guys, with a few girls giggling in front trying to get our attention, normally I would be all over it, picking which one was worthy to suck my dick. Today I keep glancing over to the girl who has turned my amazing sex life to a downward spiral. I see her engrossed with what Mrs. Peterson is saying. Shit, I feel like some creepy stalker.

“The bet has raised over five hundred bucks,” one of the guys to my right says, Johnny. What bet?

“Huh?” I focus on the conversation.

“The bet you yelled out at lunch if you are able to get into the new girls pants before she heads back home, every guy, even some girls have joined in. I bet you could, what girl has ever said no to you?” He says like it’s a no brainer.

Shit, I completely forgot about the bet, when Kacey hears this, she is going to go ballistic, she’s already slapped me. I can’t even imagine what she will do when she finds out. I know she will, this school is a gossip house. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

“We will see.” What else can I say? These people know she is my stepsister and yet they don’t give a crap. At least if I did fuck her, it would be out of my system, but for some reason I bet I will end up wanting more.

After class, I walk past Kacey, ignoring her completely. I need to head home and get away from the dickheads at this school. I can hear Kacey, calling out to me but I ignore her, I can’t deal with her right now. I hear her shouting my name louder, people are starting to stare, but I don’t care, I continue walking on, till I get to my car. I start up the engine, I see Kacey trying to squeeze through the crowd to get to me, by the time she gets a few feet away I will be gone.

Driving home in the silence is welcoming. I need a fuck, I feel like I’m on crack and I need my next fix. I hate that I have continuous sex or in some cases oral, my dick is used to coming, that I feel withdrawals when it doesn’t. I quickly text the first girl on my phone list and text her to come to mine in two hours. I don’t need to wait for a reply, I know she will be here. I walk through my house and lay myself out on the couch.

“Hi, sweetie, where’s Kacey?” Kacey? Shit, shit, mother of all things holy. That’s why she was screaming my name, I was her fucking ride. I left her behind. She has no clue of how to get back here. I feel like the biggest dick in the world. “Where the hell is she, Aidan?” Mom screams at me, I flinch. Mom has never raised her voice at me like that. I have always done dumb shit but never has she yelled at me.

“Fuck, I forgot, I’m going back.” I stand running to the door.

“If something happens to her, you better not come home,” Mom screams at me before I close the door. Shit, I am in so much shit. How could I forget that I was her ride?

You were thinking about yourself and your dick, my head yells at me.

I drive like a bat out of hell till I reach the school, nearly everyone has gone home. Shit, what if she got a lift from someone? What if she is in trouble? I pull my hair, looking frantically around. I see someone in the distance sitting on the football field. I walk closer, I realize it’s her. She waited, probably knowing I had to come back for her. As I get closer, I see her head bowed, I feel even worse for leaving her here.

“Kacey?” She looks up, I see her eyes red, puffy and swollen. She has been crying.   Fuck.

I feel a deep pain in my chest. I must have scared her, she doesn’t know this town, only has one friend that she just made today from what I could tell. What an ass. She stands up and walks past me, not giving me another look, walking towards my car. I deserve her silent treatment.

When we are both in the car and strapped in, I pull out and head back home. Not looking forward to the lecture I am going to get, but I deserve it. Anything could’ve happened to her. Well, I wanted her to see me as an asshole, guess my wish is granted. I keep telling myself this is for the best, but it shouldn’t have happened.

“Look, Kacey, I am so sorry. I didn’t click that I was meant to drive you home, I completely spaced out.” I had to apologize, I had to say something, this no speaking thing is driving me crazy. She doesn’t say anything, she just keeps looking out the window. “Kacey?” Still nothing. I am getting frustrated here. I’m trying, God dammit. “KACEY!” I see her flinch by my outburst, but I need her to understand I didn’t mean it.

What a great way to apologize, by yelling and scaring her. Good job. My head mocks me. For fuck sake.

“Kacey, sorry for yelling, but please say something,” she turns and stares at me, I wish I kept quiet. The look she is giving me I will never forget. She is looking at me with hatred like I am the scum of the earth, maybe I am. But I know this is it, all the lustful looks I will never see again. She is done with me. No words need to be said.

Pulling up to the house, Mom runs out and hugs Kacey in a death grip, I see her give my mom a warm smile, reassuring her that she is fine. Mom gives me an evil stare before walking back inside with Kacey in front of her. I quickly glance at my phone and see that the girl has replied telling me she will be here. I forgot about my date with a blowjob, maybe a fuck is what I need more than ever.

I am outside, in the shadows letting Sharleen? Or was it Charlotte? Who cares? Giving me a deep throated blowjob. I need to de-stress myself. Mom was screaming at me for half an hour, on all things I already know. Luckily she isn’t going to tell Marc of my stupid mistake. She doesn’t want him to beat me black and blue, for his daughter being left behind on her fourth day here, her first day at school. The girl is sucking me so hard, I can feel myself tightening, waiting for that sweet release.

I hear movement but ignore it. It must be a squirrel or a bird. No one ever comes out here at this time. I need to fucking come like my life is depending on it. My head is rolled back, I let out a moan, I feel the girl smile against my hard dick. I open my eyes, I lock my gaze with Kacey, she looks at me and then at the girl with a look of pure disgust. Nothing like the look she gave me when watching me masturbate. She looks at the girl one more time then walks away. Without me wanting to, I cum inside of the wet mouth of the girl kneeling in front of me. The sweet release I was after never came. Nothing sweet about it.

“Tasty,” Sharleen or Charlotte says. Licking her lips, smiling at me. Proud I came. I hate that Kacey had to take this away from me. The simple pleasures I get in life she has to fucking destroy. No more am I letting her have power over me. I don’t give a shit if she likes me or not, I am going to put her in her place, no one looks at me like that and gets away with it. I am going to make her life a fucking misery, she is going to wish she never came here.

Chapter 12

Kacey

I feel sick to my stomach. This is his bloody home, does he not have any respect for it? Letting a cheap slut suck him off a few feet away from my dad’s house, a few feet away from his mother’s house.

It’s just gross.

She didn’t even notice I was there, she probably did but didn’t give a care in the world. She was too busy enjoying having him inside her dirty, disgusting mouth. Ugh, I wish I could wash my eyes out with soap, or wash my brain out just so I can forget what I saw.

I hate him so much, how dare he leave me at school. I know he did it on purpose, I was yelling out his name over and over, yet he still left me. I had no clue where my dad’s home was, so I just walked to the football field and sat, and waited. I felt so lost. I know only four people, I have none of their phone numbers. I knew then though what kind of guy Aidan is, he is a self-absorbed asshole. Catching him getting sucked off, was the breaking point for me, he has no morals and doesn’t respect any girl, all he cares about is getting off.

I ring Viv so I can offload some of this frustration and after four rings she answers.

“Thought you were never going to answer,” I complain over the phone.

“Chill girl, was on Facebook, had to search where the phone was. Anyway, missing you tons already. Any gossip over there? How’s you and your dad getting on?”

“I miss you so much too, surprisingly Dad and I are getting on fine, and I am getting on really well with, Diana, his new wife. She took me shopping yesterday and I got so much new stuff, I have these fuck me heels you are going to be so jealous of,” I giggle.

“Jealous already that you went shopping without me, I was stuck here doing nothing. It’s not the same with you not being here. This completely sucks.” Yeah, just hearing her voice is making me homesick.

“I know, but the months will fly in, I will be right back home.”

“It better, so tell me about your stepbrother, what is he like?” Already I feel the anger build in me once again, just thinking about him.

“Honestly, he is a complete dickhead. He left me at school today, had to wait for him to come back to pick me up. I also caught him getting a blowjob by some hussy before. He’s just so... gross.” I hear her chuckle down the line. “Why are you chuckling when I am living with the devil himself?”

“He’s hot isn’t he?” Where the hell did that come from?

“What? I am complaining about him and you are asking about his looks?” Yeah, I did notice how hot he was, how my body reacted to him, but all those feelings got squished when he treated me like a fucking nobody. An inconvenience.

“You wouldn’t have called the girl a hussy unless you had some sort of feeling towards him, I’ve known you since we were kids, and I know how your brain works.”

“I hate that you know me so well.”

“I know you do,” Viv laughs down the line, causing me to laugh with her. “But come on spill, is he hot?” I groan.

“Yes, he is gorgeous, he is like a model on a magazine gorgeous, but he is an ass.”

“Bet he has a cute ass.”

“Viv!”

“What? Sorry was just saying. The good looking guys are normally ass wipes. He has probably slept with any girl that crosses his way, so you definitely don’t want to go there. You might catch something.”

“Thanks for that image, but yeah I was told he is a womanizer. Just can’t wait till I’m back home.”

“Me, too.” We talk for another thirty minutes, I filled her in about Rebecca, she is shocked that I have only made one friend. Told her about Summer, which she wasn’t happy that a girl is up in my face on day one. She then fills me in on who is getting with who, who broke up with who, it makes me want to be there with her even more. I can’t wait to get back home, the six months can’t come quick enough.

Waking up the next morning, I feel like I just want to go back home with a passion. I miss my room, I miss my garden. Yes, the garden here is huge, flawless, but mine was small and cozy. I have a chair swing where I use to lay on and read my kindle. There I knew people, I knew if I wanted to go for a walk, I wouldn’t get lost. Here I am stuck in this house. I have no idea where anything is. To top it all off, I hate I am stuck living with a grade A jerk.

I need to shower to wash away some of this negativity. Feeling the water crash on my tense muscles is so relaxing. I feel I can just stay under here all day. I feel like I’m at peace, till the water turns ice cold, causing me to scream bloody murder, almost falling out of the shower. I grab the towel to wrap myself, I hear a chuckle across the bathroom where Aidan is standing near the toilet. He flushed it, causing the water to freeze me to death. How the hell did he get in here? I locked the door. I know I did.

“Rise and shine, Princess.” He smirks at me, I’m sure if looks could kill, my eyes would have killed him on the spot.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing, get out,” I scream. He is still smirking at me. As I stare into his eyes all I see is anger, I’m pretty sure mine are showing the same right back.

“Well, Princess. I need to have a shower, and your time is up, so get out,” he says with a deadpan voice. How dare he talk to me like that. Who the hell does he think he is?

“Go fuck yourself.” I quickly grab my things and head to the door.

“I’m sure I have a long list who are willing.” He says walking towards me and slamming the door in my face. I feel like I just want to scream at the top of my lungs.

I quickly get changed and run down the stairs to the kitchen where I know Diana and my dad are having their breakfast. I am no tattle tale, but like hell I’m letting him get away with this. I am not waking up every day to have him storming in the bathroom when I’m naked, and kicking me out.

“I need to talk to you,” I say to my dad. I am trying to hold in my emotions, but I can’t, I’m too worked up.

“Morning, what’s up? You okay?” Dad looks concerned, I know he will back me, I’m his little girl, well in his eyes I am.

“Your son,” I point to Diana, who is looking at me with concerned eyes, then surprise when I mention Aidan. “Somehow got into the bathroom as I was showering, flushed the toilet, causing the water to go so bloody cold that I scream in shock and almost falling to the floor trying to get out. Then he told me my time was up and to get out of his bathroom. I am not living here for him to kick me out when I’m washing.” I say all in one go, I see Dad’s face going red with anger. Maybe I shouldn’t have told him.

“He did WHAT?” He screams and stands knocking the chair over.

“I will talk to him.” Diana walks over catching his arm. She looks at me quickly, I think I saw annoyance, but I’m not sure. I have done nothing wrong here.

“I am not letting him treat my daughter like that. This is her home, too. He could have seen her naked for God’s sake. He needs to know I am not taking his shit. Kacey is a good girl and I’m not letting him treat her like this in my Goddamn house.” I stand looking from her to him, shocked on how much he is standing up for me. I feel tears run down my cheeks.

“I will talk to him, what he has done is wrong. I will make sure he doesn’t do it again,” she says soothingly, rubbing his arm.

“Kacey, I am so sorry sweetie. You shouldn’t have had to deal with this, especially on your second day of school. Come on, will take you to the nice little diner before school starts.” He walks towards me, wiping the tears from my eyes, thinking I’m crying over what Aidan has done, I’m crying over how protective he is of me.

“I would like that.” I smile at him, he gives me a warm smile back, pulling me in for a hug.

Chapter 13

Aidan

“What the hell do you think you’re playing at?” Mom slams open my door, glaring at me. Hello to you to Mother.

“What are you going on about?” I am not in the mood for this. I need to take that little princess to school, I am tempted to make her walk it, but know that wouldn’t go over to well with Mom and Marc.

“You opening the bathroom door, flushing the toilet as Kacey was showering. She could have hurt herself. You telling her, her time was up. I will not let you treat that poor girl like this. This is her home, too. You will treat her with some respect. Do I make myself clear?” Kacey fucking snitched on me. I will make her pay for getting the parents involved. How dare she bring my mom into this.

“She was taking fucking forever. I needed to use it before school, I am not running late because her ladyship wants to use all the fucking hot water.” I raise my voice back.

“You do not walk in when she is bloody naked. Do you think Marc will have a problem kicking you out if you treat his daughter like this? He worships that young girl, she is a good girl, unlike you. I can’t stop him if he does kick you out if you make that girl's life a misery. I love you, but please for the next few months, be good.”

“I will try.” That’s all I give her. I do not promise anything. I am so pissed off, I’m bloody fuming. Mom telling me that I will be kicked out, Marc had helped raise me, he wouldn’t kick me out surely over some little spat between me and Kacey. I have such a bigger need now to put that little princess where she belongs.

“Marc has taken her out for breakfast. I want you to apologize to him and Kacey tonight at dinner. No, buts.” I grumble in response, Mom walks back out. Thank the Lord that I don’t need to drive her to school, but it’s after school, I don’t want her in my car, I hate I don’t have a fucking choice.

Driving to school, all I kept thinking about is how am I going to get back at Mrs. Pissy Pants. I want her to know I am going to continue to make her life hell. She can keep snitching on me, but I won’t stop. I am going to college after the summer so if I do get kicked out, I will just have to crash at Nick’s till then. I know Mom will plead and beg for me to stay, especially if Kacey has gone back home.

“Hey, man, what’s up?” Nick fist bumps mine.

“I need to think of something to get back at my annoying new stepsister. She snitched on me this morning, had to hear my mom give me a lecture on how important she is, how easily disposed I can be.” I may be over exaggerating, but I don’t care.

“Jeesh, man, sorry to hear that. We will think of something.” I nod in response.

Walking to Algebra, I hate knowing she will be there. I am still pissed she ratted on me. I need to think of something to embarrass her, or knock her down a few pegs. I see her and Rebecca talking quietly, she is probably filling her in on what happened this morning. I see our teacher walk in, I remember her saying he was hot, I still feel angry that she was eyeing up another man, even if he is our teacher. That’s when it clicks. I walk over to Candy, yeah her parents named her that. She has long wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, the long legs, etc. Fucked her a few times. She is the life size Barbie. I sit on her desk, watch her smile seductively at me.

“Hey, Aidan, you look pretty hot today,” she purrs up at me.

“I was thinking the same thing about you.” I am making sure I am talking loud enough so most people can hear our conversation, I need this to spread around the school. “I thought I would fill you in on some gossip.” I know I pulled her in, I am sure people are leaning over to hear what I have to say.

“You know a girl always loves a bit of gossip.” I know.

“You know the new girl?” I look over my shoulder, so she knows who I am talking about.

“Your new stepsister? I heard she has been ogling you at home.” She is talking about Kacey watching me jerk off. I knew people would have heard that by now.

“Yeah, I think she is some sex pest. I heard her talking about getting her claws into, Mr. Davidson. Think she is going to try and seduce him.” Every girl who has ever crossed Mr. Davidson has tried to fuck him in one way or another, but no girl would admit it though.

“She must be some slut. Some nympho. First you, now our teacher. Who will be next?” She gives Kacey the stink eye. I think my job is done, this will spread all over the school by the end of the day, maybe even by lunch time.

“Probably, thought you would like to know.” I shrug acting all indifferent.

“Thanks for sharing with me, will keep it to myself.” I know she won’t, but I nod anyway. “If you need some company later, call me,” she purrs at me again, I know I will probably take up on her offer. I kiss her softly on the lips, but she pulls me closer, deepening the kiss, causing me to groan into her mouth.

“That’s enough of PDA, Aidan sit down.” I step back, smirking at Candy, she smiles up at me proud of herself. She knows this will spread around, too. This school is full of leeches, they enjoy drama going on around them. I sit in my seat, already seeing the others in class whispering or texting on their phones.

“Okay class, here is an equation on the board, what is X?” Mr. Davidson asks, looking around the classroom, I notice Rebecca and Kacey with their hands up, I snicker.

“Ms. Vermont,” he asks her smiling at her. I hate that he is smiling at her like that. I notice people pointing at them, I hope she gets what is coming to her.

“8,” Kacey says confidently.

“That is right, well done.” I see her beam at him.

“Nympho,” Someone fake coughs into their hand. She turns to glare at the person.

So it begins.

––––––––

Kacey

I have noticed people staring and pointing at me throughout the day. Something has happened, I bet I know who the cause of it is. I received a letter from the school office with my assigned locker and combination, I am heading there now before we head to the cafeteria for lunch. Rebecca is by my side, even she has noticed the extra attention I have been receiving.

“Wonder why they are all glaring at you? I would hate to be under such scrutiny,” Rebecca says. I hate that this is day two of school, I am already talk of the place. In my old school, I was neutral. I wasn’t popular nor was I bottom of the food chain. All this is new to me.

“I don’t know the reason, but I bet I can tell you who has caused it.”

“Aidan?”

“Aidan.” Rebecca takes me to my locker and already written across it with what looks to be lipstick is SLUT. What the hell?

“Oh my God, who would have done this?” I know who.

He is going to pay.

Chapter 14

Aidan

I am sitting at my lunch table, and everyone is talking about Kacey. The things they are saying no innocent ears should listen into. I should feel bad, part of me does, but the other part doesn’t give a damn. I need this. I feel in so much control. I feel my life is back to normal. It’s hard to explain, but I am enjoying messing with Kacey. It’s my new sick pleasure. I am addicted.

“Have you heard, man?” I turn to look at Nick. I have heard all sorts today, he needs to be more specific.

“About what?”

“I heard Kacey is sleeping with her Algebra teacher, and she is fucking through the male population.” She has been here for a few days and yet the gossip has turned to her sleeping around. Shocking and no one thinks that she has been here at this school for two days and yet somehow she managed to fuck her way through the guys here.

These people are idiots.

“Really? Wow.” What else do I say to that?

“Yeah, I bet this is your doing?” He smirks at me, I shrug my shoulders.

“I know I said keep her at a distance and make her see you as an ass, but don’t you think you are going a little far? The people here are vultures, and brutal. You sure you want her to go through their wrath?” I know he is making sense, but this was his idea in the first place.

“It started out like that, but her snitching on me to the parents, and her thinking she is better than me. She deserves this.”

“No offense dude, but she is better than you. I love you man as if you were my brother, but you can sense the innocence from her, she is a good girl, she has morals...”

“Whose side are you on? She needs to know I am the top man here, she is not messing that up,” I say in irritation.

“I think this is going to blow up in your face.” I don’t care, I need this. Me screwing with Kacey is a new thrill, it’s only been a couple of days, but I know I am not ever going to get bored of it. “Speaking of, someone looks pissed.” I look at the entrance and see Kacey storm in with Rebecca at her heel. She glares over at me and gets in line at the counter. I sit back and smirk. Yeah, I knew this was going to work.

I am sitting here listening to the conversations going on around me, I don’t pay attention when I feel an iced cold drink spill all over my head, causing me to jump out of my seat. I stand and turn to see who the fuck would dare do this. I see Kacey standing there with a now empty cup. What the fuck? Everyone is snickering and the guys are hollering with laughter.

“Thought you needed to cool down,” she spits at me and starts to walk off but I grab her arm and pin her body against the wall.

My body is rigid with so much anger. I can’t even think straight. She is glaring at me, I want to yell and shout in her face. I move myself closer to get more comfortable, I accidentally rub myself against her, and I hear her moan.

What the hell? Did she just really moan?

I feel my dick get hard by just the sound. I know no one can really see us, they would only be able to see the back of me. I rub myself against her subtle and I look into her eyes and see how hooded they are. I have missed her looking at me like this.

My brain has turned to mush, I can’t think straight. I want to fuck her right here. I think I deserve it. I watch her lick her lips and God knows how much I want to taste her. I see her staring at my mouth, I know she is thinking the same thing. We haven’t moved, it feels like we have been staring at each other for hours, but I’m sure it’s just been a few minutes.

“Baby, are you going to fuck me now, or after your little showdown?” I hear from behind me. Summer is really getting on my fucking nerves. She has done this on purpose. I feel Kacey tense up and shake her head. Again her eyes have gone back to their death glare. I feel like I dreamt the whole thing.

“Don’t you ever touch me, don’t ever fuck with me.” I haven’t really heard her cuss before, but I know she is saying it to make a point. I don’t think so Princess.

“I am going to fuck you eventually, I am going to spread your legs and fuck you so hard you will see stars. That is a fucking promise,” I growl out. I don’t know what possessed me to say it, but I had to. She had to know I will have her. After I finish messing with her.

“I wouldn’t touch you, you disgust me.” I slam my hand hard beside her head, causing her to flinch.

“I am going to make your life hell till you open those pretty legs of yours, you want all this to stop, you just need to let me be inside you.” What the fuck? Why is my mouth spewing these words?

“You’re blackmailing me to sleep with you,” she asks shocked and yet again disgusted.

“Say what you want to call it.” Please stop talking Aidan.

“You’re sick.”

“Baby!” I hear Summer again, I grit my teeth. I look down at Kacey then release her, I watch her storm off. I turn to see Summer glaring at me. I glare right back.

“Summer, get the fucking hint, I am never going to touch you, get over it. You are starting to look pathetic.” I nearly yell, I hear gasps around me. God this place is a zoo. I should have said it more quietly, but she has pissed me off. Hoping now she gets the hint.

“Fuck you,” she screams at me while I sit back down in my seat, Nick passes me a towel to dry my wet hair. Good thing I have a spare T-shirt in my locker.

“In your dreams, Summer,” I yell out to her, watching her storm off, she turns and gives me the finger. The guys and I chuckle. This has been an interesting day.

––––––––

Chapter 15

Kacey

“Hold up.” Rebecca, yells to me, I am so majorly pissed off. I hate myself even more. Him being that close to me, rubbing himself against me, I felt that little ache between my legs by just a little touch. I felt like I was drunk, I wanted him to touch me. Luckily though that bitch Summer, cleared away my foggy brain. The shit he spewed out at me. I am never going to sleep with him, how dare he use blackmail. Doesn’t he realize we are step-siblings now?

“Sorry, I am just so angry at him,” I scream out loud, good thing no one is around or they will probably think I was insane too.

“Don’t blame ya, I heard him saying he will leave you alone if you slept with him, think Summer heard that, too, she didn’t look happy.” Oh great, I’ve got the mega bitch on my case now.

“Didn’t she say that he was going to fuck her?”

“She said it but after you had left, I heard him tell her he is never going to touch her, that she is pathetic.” I stop in my tracks and turn to her.

“He said that?” I get a nod in response. “Least he has some sort of decent taste. Ugh, why does my life have to be a pain in the ass right now?”

“Have to admit your life is interesting.”

“Cheers for that,” I giggle at her. We head to our next class, I just can’t wait to get this day over with.

I am back in drama class, luckily Aidan decided not to sit with me today. Part of me is disappointed that he hasn’t even bothered to say anything. Why do I even want him to talk to me? I deserve an apology for how he is treating me, but fat chance that will happen. I am watching Mrs. Peterson go on about our new assignment. We need to be paired up, I look around seeing who I can be paired up with till I hear her mention she is going to partner us up, great.

I hear all names getting yelled out, I feel my palms sweating with nervousness. God, will not be that cruel surely.

“Kacey’s partner will be...” Please not Aidan, please not Aidan. “Aidan.” Why? Why God, fucking why? You hate my guts God, you punishing me? Did I do something terrible in my past life? I look over to Aidan and he is smirking at me. He is enjoying my discomfort.   The dick.

“Right, now that everyone is paired up, I want you and your partners to choose a romantic, but dramatic scene. It could be from a play, a movie, anything you want. I need to feel emotion, passion. I want you to be your characters. Then I want a short essay on why you chose that scene.” Mrs. Peterson quickly adds in, I hear grumbles from nearly everyone. Aidan is going to stick me with the paperwork, I know it.

I could kill him. How long will I be locked up for killing my stepbrother? Maybe I can say it was due to insanity? My mind is too absorbed with me killing my stepbrother that I didn’t even notice someone sitting down next to me. When I turn my head, I am a few centimeters away from Aidan’s mouth. Why is he so close? Why do I feel a need to lick my lips? Stupid, betraying body hormones.

“So partner, what love scene do you want to pick?” Yeah the project, I move away and look around me to quickly get my head on straight. I notice some guys staring at us when they notice me looking they look away. Odd.

“I think the best chance is if we choose a movie, so we don’t end up copying someone else. Most people would probably go for Romeo and Juliet, so think this is our best shot.”

“I agree, so what movie do you want to choose, you’re the girl so you will have more knowledge on the chick flick side.” What a sexist pig.

“You’re a pig,” I scoff at him.

“Oink, oink baby. Now, what film?”

KILL, KILL, KILL.

Okay, maybe I am going overboard in my head. I take a deep breath and close my eyes, to calm myself and to think of a movie that is romantic but yet dramatic.

“You fell asleep on me,” Aidan chuckles.

“No, I am thinking, so shh, let me concentrate,” I grumble, I get another chuckle.

“Fine, I will just sit here and look pretty.”

“You do that.” I sit there with my eyes closed and think. Then it comes to me, why not I choose a scene from a book. “I got it.” I make Aidan jump, causing me to laugh.

“Jesus, must be good.”

“We will choose a scene from a book, it’s perfect, no one else will think of it.” I feel so proud of myself, I’m sure my smile is gigantic.

“Book scene it is.” I look at him and he is smiling back at me, I have to quickly look away. I haven’t forgiven him yet. “So what book are we going to choose then?”

“I just a read a book from a new Indie author, J.L. Ostle, the scene at the end is heartbreaking. The girl is about to leave the school dance and make love for the first time to her best friend, her boyfriend until she gets stabbed. She makes this speech about loving him, it’s so sad, yet romantic in a dramatic kind of way.

“So she is going to sleep with her best friend and boyfriend? Kinky bitch.”

“What? No. Her boyfriend is her best friend. They have gone through so much together. They both had feelings for one another, yet afraid to tell the other how they feel, it’s a good book, you need to read it sometime.”

“Yeah will get right on that. To me the guy sounds like a pussy, if I liked a girl, I would tell her.” I look at him and see him pause then look away. Wonder what that is about?

“Some people aren’t like you, they didn’t want to ruin what they already had.”

“Right, fine, we will choose this one, so what is the book called?”

“A Simple Change.”

“What kind of name is that? Thank God I don’t read these pansy ass books. So we will write the scene down with the lines, we will go over it. Is there any kissing?”

“No.”

“This book sucks already.” Don’t hit him, don’t hit him.

“You suck.” Okay fine, that was the childish response, but he is just a complete ass.

“I will suck something in a minute,” he says as he looks at my thighs, I have to cross my legs.

“You’re so crude.”

“You’re too uptight.” We glare at each other, I want to slap him again.

“I will write down our lines and we will rehearse them tomorrow, okay?” I grumble out.

“Fine.”

The rest of class we sit in silence as I write some notes down on how I want us to act this out. I hope he can bloody act. I need to learn to cry on command. At least this time Aidan waited at his car for me, but when I got in my seat, I watch that girl from Algebra saunter over to Aidan and kissing him fiercely. After she looks at me with a proud smile.

You can have him, love, I think to myself.

I watch as they interact, I think I am about to puke in the car, she is being over the top, I think it’s more for my benefit than his. Does she feel threatened by me? Don’t know why as he is getting with every other girl.

“Kace, do you mind if you sit in the back so Candy can sit up front with me?” That’s her name Candy? No wonder she is the way she is with a name like that. Who names their child Candy? I want to tell him to fuck off, but I climb in the back.

I feel so awkward sitting back here I want to just say ‘pull over I will find my own way,’ but I know I will most likely get lost. When I think this can’t get any worse, I watch Candy lean over Aidan’s lap, unbutton him, and I see her head bob up and down.

No fucking way this is happening in front of me. They are both just as sick as each other. When we get to a red light, I jump out of the car and run to the sidewalk without getting killed.

I am walking forwards, I hear Aidan scream my name. He can fuck off. He is some sick bastard. How could they do that with me in the car? What sort of place is this? It’s full of sex craved sickos. I hear Aidan scream my name, this time I run down an alley, and don’t stop running. I can’t look at him, if I do, I will most likely throw up.

––––––––

Chapter 16

Aidan

“Fuck,” I shout and hit the steering wheel. Okay, maybe this was a bit too far. I should have stopped Candy from giving me head, but when her lips touched my hard cock, all other thoughts went. I didn’t expect Kacey to run out of the car on the busy road. I am going to get into some shit over this. I slam the steering wheel again.

“Just forget about her, let’s continue where we left off,” she purrs at me, trying to unfree me again, but I grab her hand.

“She doesn’t know her way around, my mom is going to fucking kill me, I am going to park over there.” I point at the parking spaces. “I am going to find her, you can do whatever you want, stay, go, I don’t care.” I park up and start going the direction I saw Kacey run to. I notice Candy doesn’t follow, I don’t really care. Kacey once again is fucking things up. I just want to tie her up, lock her in her room, leave her there till she has to move back home.

I am screaming her name over and over, and nothing. What the fuck am I meant to do? Tell Marc and Mom ‘sorry I lost Kacey, she ran off after she saw me getting sucked off by some girl in my car,’ yeah that won’t go over to well. I keep walking around till the point it starts to get dark, this is where I know I’m defeated. I need to tell Mom what has happened, minus the blowjob part. Hopefully, they can help find her. Walking to my front door, I have never dreaded something so much in my life.

I hear laughing in the kitchen, I hate that I am going to ruin their mood. Walking in the kitchen I feel like I am frozen, Kacey is sitting there with Mom and Marc eating dinner. How the hell did Kacey get here? She is looking at me like she wants to kill me, but I feel pure relief, then pure annoyance. I have spent a couple of hours trying to find her and she was here the whole time. Bitch.

“Hi, Honey, Kacey said you had some date so we started without you, your plate is in the oven,” Mom says smiling at me. She didn’t blab on me? Still fucking ticked off.

“Yeah had a date, but it didn’t end well,” I grumble.

“Looked like you were enjoying yourself last time I saw you,” she says sweetly, but her eyes don’t match her voice.

I am stuck cleaning the dishes, all I want to do is scream at Kacey for putting me through that. I never cleaned so quickly in my life. I tell Mom I am heading upstairs. I don’t even knock on the door, I slam open the door, making Kacey jump. Good. I see her finishing putting on a tank top, which I have noticed she isn’t wearing a bra, it takes a couple of seconds to focus back on her face. She is looking at me with pure annoyance.

“What the fuck do you think you were doing? You could have been killed, ran over.” I quietly scream at her, making sure the parents don’t hear us.

“I am sorry, but I wasn’t going to watch yet another girl suck you off. That is fucking sick. Maybe you guys are into that sort of thing, but I’m not.”

“You are an uptight bitch, I can’t wait till you go back where you came from.” I feel all this bubbling to the surface, I just want a fucking release from it all. I have never been so angry in all of my life like I’ve been the last couple of days.

“You are a sex maniac jerk, I can’t wait to get away from you. The last few days you have made my life a misery, it’s just been a few days, a few days,” she repeats. “You need to get the fuck out of my life.”

“I wish I could Princess, but you are a fucking pain in my ass.”

“You are a fucking bastard.”

“Uptight bitch.”

“Bigheaded asshole.” I stare at her, her face has gone a little red by the confrontation, I see her chest rising with each deep breath she takes. I need to stop this, I need to do something.

I pin her against the wall and trap her with my body. My body has taken over control. I need to taste her, just a little taste. I can see lust and shock in her eyes, but she hasn’t pushed me away. I rub my nose against her jaw line to her neck smelling her, taking her in. She smells amazing. When I lick her neck to her ear, I hear her moan, throwing her head back giving me better access, that’s all I needed. I slam my mouth against hers, it’s not gentle, it’s rough, passionate, and hard. She grabs the hair behind my neck pulling me closer to her, causing me to moan in her mouth.

She tastes better than I could ever imagine. Her tongue touching mine is making my dick grow harder and harder. I grip my hands on her waist, I know it will mark her, but I don’t care, I want to mark her in any way I can. I pin my body closer to hers so there is no space between us, she arches herself into me, and it feels like she can’t get close enough that she needs more. I need more. I glide my hand under her tank when I feel her breast in my hand, I think I almost lose it. It fits perfectly in my palm. I tweak her nipple with my thumb and forefinger.

I have never been so turned on in my life. I think my dick is going to combust soon. I need to be inside her. I want her sweet pussy to pull in my hard cock, I want her to want me inside her. I can feel the wet warmth from the little short shorts she is wearing. I bet she is soaked. I need to feel how wet she is, how much she wants me. When I slide my other hand to her shorts, about to enter, she pulls back. Why is she pulling back? I try and move closer to her again, wanting this to continue more than anything. I am willing to give my last breath to continue, but she holds her hands out, stopping me.

“I need you to get out,” she says huskily, still breathing heavily, but she is looking at the floor. Why won’t she look at me?

“Kace.” What do I say? I want to fuck you, I need to be inside you? Don’t think anything of that is going to fly with her.

“This shouldn’t have happened. I am sorry. I am much to blame. It was the heat of the moment.” I know she wants this, why is she being like this? For fucks sake, she tempts me to the high hills and she bloody pushes me away.

“You know what, you are a teasing prude. I am going to see if someone else is willing,” as soon as the words left my mouth I knew it was a mistake. I just had word vomit. My pride is a little hurt, but she didn’t deserve that. Seeing the hurt in her eyes, but it turns back into anger.

“You go do that, manwhore. Get the fuck out of my room,” she spits at me, I am sure I see tears prickle her eyes, but I do what she says and leave.

I am so fucking hard and so fucking pissed off. I need a good distraction. How can she be hot one minute and cold the next? I phone one of my hook ups and it doesn’t take her long till she comes knocking on the door. I am thankful she is free and willing, but at times I think, don’t these girls have lives? Everyone is asleep so I take her to my room and push her on the bed, she smiles up at me, licking her lips. I need those blowjob lips on me, sucking me.

“Suck me.” That’s all she needs, she stands in front of me, pulling my pyjama pants down releasing my hard erection. She strokes me then goes on her knees, sucking me, licking me. I feel my balls tighten. Yes, I need this. I need to finish what Kacey has started, as soon as Kacey entered my head, I can’t get rid of her. I imagine her kneeling in front of me, sucking the pre cum. I imagine her moaning, letting me feel the vibration in her mouth. I feel my balls being played with, I am so fucking close. The dream fades when the girl stops.

“I want you to fuck me, now.” I want to yell at her for stopping, but I have to please her, too. I need Kacey out of my head, I shouldn’t think of her when I have someone else with me. I let the girl climb on my bed and I watch her pull her dress up and she isn’t wearing any underwear. I wonder what Kacey would look like with no underwear, I groan with the easy access I could have. I need to pay attention to the girl in front of me.

I climb above her, finger her wet folds, she is so ready for me. I grab a condom from my side drawer and roll it on, I press my tip to her entrance, teasing her, stroking her with my cock. She is begging for me to enter her, but I tease her some more, letting her feel my hard dick against her entrance. I rub her clit with my thumb. After a couple of minutes I thrust into her with no warning, making her scream, I have to cover her mouth with my hand. I don’t want the parents hearing us, I definitely don’t want Kacey hearing this.

What would happen if she walks through the door now, seeing me fuck someone else? I know she would be hurt and angry knowing that it was just a couple of hours ago we were making out, me feeling her. In my head, she is watching us with the same look she had when she watched me jerk off. I am fucking so frantic, so hard. I imagine Kacey’s chest rising heavily by how turned on she is. I feel the girl beneath me orgasm as I feel her pelvic muscles grip my dick, after a few more thrusts, I come. The only reason I came tonight was due to my teasing stepsister.

I am fucking screwed.

Chapter 17

Kacey

It’s been a couple of weeks since the kissing incident. We hardly acknowledge each other. The only time he seems to have any contact with me is when he has snidely little comments when he’s around his friends. I know he is trying to act all hardcore in front of people, but to me it’s pathetic. Rebecca and I got closer, we haven’t had our girly weekend yet, but we are planning it for this weekend. I have officially been here for three weeks and my life still isn’t any easier.

I still have only one friend, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. The girls here are stuck up bitches. Aidan still feels he needs to torment me at school, but I ignore him. We don’t even interact in drama class, I go to the library and he is probably off fucking another skank. I don’t know how many girls I have seen him with. Just hope he wears something as he’s probably going to get an STD at some point. I shudder at the thought.

I have only talked to my mom once, she apologized for not talking more, but she has been so busy going from one place to another. I understand, it hurts, but I understand. I know she is doing this to pay towards my college. I’m sure Dad has offered to pay towards it, but Mom is too proud to ask for a handout on something she thinks she could provide for. I talk to Viv every couple of days. She is going to come visit me in a couple of weeks, I cannot wait.

I remember last week when I came out of the shower to my room, someone had been in it. I walked in cautiously and noticed my drawers were open, I looked and found that all my underwear were missing. I am going to kill him, I stomped to Aidan’s room not even bothering to knock, he is laying on his bed, his hands under his head. I know he did it, he looks too proud of himself.

“Where the fuck are they?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Yes you do, now give me my underwear back now,” I yell at him. He looks at me, then looks back at the ceiling.

“You better hurry and get ready for school before we are late,” I scream and walk out, slamming the door behind me. He thinks he has won this, like hell he has. I go through my closet and pick a short tight dress, let’s see if he likes my choice of attire. I quickly blow dry my hair and do my makeup. I hate that my cheeks are all flushed, but Aidan has that effect on me, the dick.

“Ready,” I sing song. I didn’t have time for breakfast, but I don’t think I could have eaten even if I wanted to. I watch Aidan walk out to see his smirk wide of his face when he sees me.

“You are wearing that?” I nod. “Like hell you are, I know you are wearing nothing underneath, go upstairs and change or I will tell your father what you’re doing.” I just want to scream in his face, he is the one who started this, the shithead.

“You do that, you tell him that you stole all my underwear, that’s why I can’t wear any right now.” I raise my eyebrows. I hear him growl, he walks past me out the door to the car, I follow, shouting out my goodbyes to Dad and Diana. I get in the car, and I see Aidan’s eyes look at my thighs. I quickly spread my legs, then cross them over, I swear I see his knuckles go white on the steering wheel. Least I got my own back at him, I got my underwear back the next morning.

Ryder for some reason has been overly nice to me, telling me I don’t deserve to live in the same house with an asshole like Aidan. In my head I’m like, aren’t you two meant to be friends. Suppose some people keep their friends close and their enemies closer. I notice how Ryder is around Aidan, they don’t seem close and yet they are known as best friends, wonder what their story is? If I ever see Aidan, Ryder is talking to me, what do I do? I do the childish girly thing and flirt my ass off, laugh and giggle. I swear when I see Aidan looking like he wants to punch a wall, I smile to myself. Two can play at this game.

“Kids we have something to say, we are trusting you on what’s going to happen,” Dad chimes in at dinner. “I have a work function tomorrow night, so Diana and I are spending the night over, which means you will have the house to yourselves. I am trusting you not to wreck the place, throw any parties or even kill each other.” Oh, what a thought.

“You can trust us,” Aidan says, shrugging. I wouldn’t trust him with my life.

“You can trust me, Dad, I will tell you if anything happens,” I say the last part looking at Aidan. I know he will throw a party. I want him to know I will tell on him if he does. Like fuck I am letting the people who go to our school in this house, I rather chop my leg off.

“I know, sweetie. Anyway, I know you have the guys over on Saturday to watch the football match and you have Rebecca over tomorrow. So just keep out of each others way,” he says looking at Aidan and me, we nod.

Diana and my dad go and start packing and all I’m dreading is being here in this house without our parents being here. If he dares to touch me, I will cut his dick off with a chainsaw, and keep it in a jar as a trophy.

“Your house is huge,” Rebecca says in awe when I walk her to my room.

“Not really my house, more like my dad’s house. But yeah it’s massive, bigger than my home.”

“It’s bloody bigger than my home.” We chuckle.

We watch ‘Pretty Woman,’ ‘Dirty Dancing,’ and ‘She’s all that.’ in the middle of ‘She’s all that’ we put on our face masks and start to take turns doing our nails. We are going properly at it with this girly weekend. I feel so fat with all the pizza I have eaten, but this has been the best weekend since I have been here. When the dance bit near the end of the movie comes on, Rebecca and I try to copy the dance moves. We are terrible, but we are in a fit of laughter, till I hear a guys laugh. I turn to see Aidan with his phone up filming us. I try to grab it off him, but he is too quick.

“Think everyone at school is going to love this, don’t you?” I try to grab it again, but he holds it up high, away from my reach.

“Delete it now, Aidan, I mean it,” I growl at him.

“I don’t think so, you want it deleted, you have to pay a price.” He smirks at me, I want to slap it right off his face.

“What do you want?”

“I want either you or Rebecca to suck me off.” What the hell. I look at Rebecca to see her face burn up. She is wearing a face mask, but you can see it over her neck and chest.

“Leave Rebecca alone you perv,” I scream at him, once again trying to grab the phone, but he is too quick.

“That leaves you then, want to suck me off?”

“I rather let you put that video all over the Internet before my mouth touches that disease infested thing.” I see anger build in his eyes, good.

“Fine, hope you being on your high horse was worth it,” he walks out of my room, slamming the door.

“I am so sorry, Rebecca, you okay?” I ask sitting next to her on my bed.

“Yeah I’m okay. He really is a jerk. It seems he can’t stay away from you, he will do nearly anything to be with you sexually in some way.” Yeah, I have noticed that.

“He likes messing with me.”

“I think it’s more than that. Before you he didn’t give a damn if a girl said no, he would move on to the next, but with you, he won’t let it go.”

“Yeah he may be persistent, but he is still fucking anything with a vagina.”

“True, it was just a theory. I think he really wants you and he hates that he can’t have you. He is messing with you as it’s the only way he can be closer to you, he is probably only sleeping with the others to just let go, if you know what I mean?”

“You really have thought about this huh?” She shrugs.

“Well, he’s an ass, that video has probably gone worldwide now.”

“Who cares, if you haven’t noticed we aren’t exactly popular so who cares what others think, we were having a good time, probably more than what they do.”

“You are really smart Rebecca.”

“I know.” We burst out laughing. “I have an idea on how to get back at Aidan, well two ideas.”

“I'm listening.”

––––––––

Chapter 18

All night we played every cheesy song we could think of loud enough for Aidan to hear. I made sure the door was locked we pushed my desk against it, in case he has some secret way of getting in like the bathroom. We heard him yelling and banging on the door, but we pretended we couldn’t hear him. When ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua came on, we sang along at the top of our lungs, it was hilarious.

We are sitting at the breakfast island having bacon and scrambled eggs, giggling away. We watch Aidan roll in and we see dark circles under his eyes, we give each other a secret smile.

“Where’s my breakfast?” He grumbles.

“In the fridge. I’m not your slave.”

“That will be a fine thing.” he makes a cup of coffee and is about to head to the couch, but stops.

“So,” I talk a little louder. “When I wake up from this dream, I feel this ache between my legs. I feel it pulsing, I need it to go so I can go back to sleep, so I run my fingers down my stomach till I feel myself, I feel how wet I am already...”

“Can we please not talk about your dreams, some people don’t want to hear this,” Aidan growls. Rebecca and I giggle.

“He was so turned on by that, you can hear it in his voice,” she whispers, I nod, giggling still.

“My friends are coming over soon to watch the game, so I want you out of the way, got it?” he doesn’t wait for a response. We giggle some more waiting for part two of the plan.

“You sure you want to do this? It was just an idea, you don’t really have to,” Rebecca mumbles. Aidan’s friends have been here for half an hour, we started to get me ready.

“I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t want to, plus the look on his face is going to be epic.”

“Okay, tell me everything, I will be waiting right here.” She gives me a quick hug, and I walk out of my room. I am wearing one of Aidan’s shirts that hits me mid-thigh, with just a black lacy bra and French knickers. The shirt is wide open. Rebecca planted my kindle on top of the bookshelf in the living room. She is taller than me so she made sure I couldn’t reach it, she did it in record time when Aidan went to use the bathroom before the guys arrived.

I walk down the stairs and walk in the kitchen pretending I am looking for something, talking to myself. This is when I take a deep breath and walk into the living room to see all the guys sitting on the couch and two are sitting on the floor entranced with the game, well not for long. I walk to the bookshelf on one side of the TV and bend over pretending I’m looking, I can feel eyes on me so I know I got their attention. I walk over to the bookshelf, but this time I walk over the guys who are sitting on the floor, so they can fully see me.

“Kacey, what the hell are you doing?” Aidan growls out.

“I can’t find my kindle.” I pout out.

“Can’t you find it another time?”

“No, I need to show Rebecca certain books, oh there it is.” I stand on my tiptoes trying to reach it and I feel the shirt slide up my body, I’m sure I’m showing my ass. When I hear a couple of low groans, I know they can see it, I can’t help but smile to myself. “I can’t reach, can someone help me?” I ask sweetly.

“I will,” Ryder shouts out and speeds to my side.

“My hero.” I kiss his cheek, he smiles down at me. I make sure I am standing in front of him as he leans up to reach my kindle. I feel his body against mine, it takes a lot for me not to move out of the way.

“Here you go.” Ryder passes me the kindle, I smile sweetly at him.

“How can I ever repay you?” I ask stroking his arm with my finger, I know Ryder is enjoying the attention, I know he likes what he sees.

“I’m sure I can think of something.”

“I’m sure you could,” I giggle. I definitely should be an actress.

“Kacey, kitchen now,” Aidan growls out and stomps to the kitchen.

“See you around, Ryder.”

“Definitely.” I hear Ryder say as I make my way to the kitchen, Aidan is leaning against the kitchen counter, I stand in front of him trying to look all innocent.

“I know what you’re playing at, you can drop the bullshit now,” he growls out.

“I don’t know what you mean. I needed my kindle.” I try and look shocked by his accusation.

“So you just so happen to wear hardly anything, when trying to look for your kindle?”

“Just a coincidence.”

“Who the hells shirt are you wearing anyway?” I roll my eyes.

“Yours.” I see shock and something else go across his face but not sure what.

“Mine?”

“Yours,” I say above a whisper. This has been the closest we have been since the kiss. I hate his guts and hate how much I think about the kiss, his lips on mine, but he ruined it with what he said after. “I better go back to my room,” I whisper out.

“Yeah you should.” The next thing his lips are on mine. His tongue touching mine is so sensual. I wrap my hand around his neck pulling him closer like I did last time. He trails his hands down my waist to my ass, he squeezes and picks me up, plopping me down on the counter, him between my legs. I can feel his hard erection pressed into my core, I groan by the sensation. He rocks into me, I meet his thrusts, I want this harder.

“You smell so good,” he says against my neck, biting and licking. I just groan in response. “Wonder if you smell just as good here.” He trails a finger to my soaked underwear, I feel such a deep ache. My head is so filled with lustful thoughts, want and need, nothing else matters at the moment. When I feel his finger go underneath and he touches my wet folds, I groan into his shoulder. “Fuck you are so wet, so tight.” I rock myself against his hand. He keeps touching me, feeling me.

“Aidan, bring in some beers.” I hear one of the guys yell out. It brings me out of the lustful fog that I am currently in. Aidan still has his fingers inside me, he hasn’t stopped, his thumb his rubbing my clit, faster and faster. I want him to stop, but I don’t at the same time.

“Aidan you need to stop,” I whisper. I have to bite out a moan.

“I know you don’t want me to, I know you are so close. Let me give this to you.” He rubs faster, I know I am close. My clit is throbbing, I don’t stop him. “Come for me Kacey, let me feel you,” he says in my ear. I let go, I bite into his neck to stop my screaming. I came so hard, I feel lightheaded. When I open my eyes, Aidan’s eyes are hooded, I see him remove his fingers from me then suck them, tasting me.

“You taste so good, you are so beautiful, so gorgeous after you orgasm.” Where did that come from?

He thinks I’m beautiful?

“I better go,” I whisper, looking at the floor and getting off the counter, I button up the shirt.

“You look good in my clothes.” I don’t answer, I am about to walk out the door till his words stop me. “Don’t get involved with my friends Kace, I mean it.” What the hell? Who the hell does he think he is?

The guy who fingered you in the kitchen with his friends in the next room and your friend waiting upstairs. My head snide’s at me.

I walk out the kitchen and head back where the guys are, Aidan is not my boss, he has pissed me off. I don’t care if he gave me the most intense orgasm ever, doesn’t give him a right to tell me what to do. Yes, I am being stubborn, but I don’t care.

“Ryder?” I sweetly say.

“Yeah?” he asks walking up to me, I hope he doesn’t see right through me on what happened between me and Aidan.

“Wondering if you fancy doing something sometime?” He looks at me in shock, then smiles at me.

“Love to, there’s a party at Nick’s next Saturday if you fancy it?” A house party? I know Aidan will be there so it will give me a chance to rub it in.

“Sounds good.” I feel eyes glaring at the back of my head, so I stand on my tiptoes and kiss Ryder on the corner of his mouth. I shouldn’t have done it, but my head isn’t thinking of the consequences.

“Pick you up at 8.”

“Great.” I smile and head up the stairs, when I get to the top I turn and see Aidan looking pissed off. Good. I quickly head back to my room to fill Rebecca in on what happened, but I’m going to leave out what went down between me and Aidan.

––––––––

Chapter 19

Aidan

What the hell does she think she is playing at? I watch her run up the stairs, if it weren't for others being here, I would have chased after her, yelling at her till my face turned blue. We just had a fucking hot moment and she had to ask Ryder, of all people on a fucking date. I’m sick of her always going to Ryder, this needs to fucking stop. What possessed her to do it? I can’t think why she just turned cold on me. I look over at Ryder and he has a shit-eating grin which I want to smack right off. The guys are high-fiving, praising him on the first guy to get her attention. The only thing is, he isn’t, but I can’t say anything, they will think I was talking crap just to save face.

All the way through the game I had to hear Ryder go on and on about him and Kacey. It’s like he has never gone out with a girl before. I know she is only doing it to rub it in my face, I just don’t get the bloody reason why. Girls are so frustrating. Does she regret what we did? I thought it was the hottest thing ever, I don’t regret one second of it. I need her, I am going to have her.

“What’s got you deep in thought?” Nick asks me.

“Kacey, who else? I hate how most of my thoughts are about her these days, but I can’t fight this attraction I have for her anymore. I want her, I am going to get her.” I state.

“You sure you just don’t want her because Ryder is going out with her?”

“What? No, you know I wanted her from the first moment I saw her. I know I should keep my distance, but that isn’t working anymore. I enjoy teasing her and messing with her only because it rained in on my sexual frustration for her, it still kept me close to her. I just know I need to have her.” Ryder and the other guys are too busy watching the game or deep in conversation to pay attention to me and Nick.

“Man, I get you want her, but I’m thinking maybe you want her only because you know you shouldn’t touch her, it’s the whole forbidden thing that has you enthralled with her. What happens if you do sleep with her and find out that’s all it was, the thrill of the chase? I get it, man, she is one hot piece of ass, but she ain’t like the girls at our school. She will get hurt, your Mom and Marc won’t be happy if they found out you used her.” I let his words sink in. Do I want her only because of the chase? I think of the kisses we shared, me touching her, feeling her. I know I want more again and again, I haven’t even fucked her yet. I know the girl has put a spell on me, all I want is her.

“No, I know I truly want her, it’s more than just a quick fuck, I never thought about a girl as much as Kacey. I want her.”

“Well then you know I will back you up, the only thing though she is going on a date with shithead over there. What you going to do?”

“No idea, I can’t tell her not to go out with him or it will make her even more determined.” Wait, I told her before she left the kitchen to stay away from my friends, shit. “Fuck, I told her to keep away from the guys when we were in the kitchen, she is doing it to get back at me,” I say frustrated.

“I like her already, she does keep you on your toes. You just need to make her want you. Let her keep her date, but at the party show her what she is missing, make her jealous, then use your charm. All that mixed emotion of anger and lust, the make out will be hot as fuck.”

“How the fuck do you know all this?” I stare shockingly at my friend.

“I know shit, so from now till then, just have your odd flirt with the girl, get close to her, without being close.”

“What the hell does that mean?” I chuckle.

“Well you know when she was getting her kindle and Ryder stood against her getting it?” I hate that I had to see his body against hers, I wanted to pull him off her and break his bloody neck. I am not a violent guy, but this girl makes me want to kill anyone that touches her.

“Yeah, don’t remind me.”

“Do that, when you ever get a chance, subtlely press your body to hers, do little things that will make her want you. Make her go shit crazy with lust and want. Tease her body without it looking obvious.”

“Dude, you should write a book, I will do that.”

“Ryder is going to hit the roof when you claim her.”

“I don’t give a shit, he has been too far up his own ass these days, and I don’t think he would spit on me if I were on fire.”

“I don’t get him, but he has changed. Just be ready when the shit hits the fan.”

––––––––

Chapter 20

Kacey

Rebecca and I are sitting in the cafeteria still giggling on what happened on Saturday. I still groan knowing I have a date with Ryder, but I needed to piss Aidan off. He has ignored me since my storming off, but I don’t care. I try not to think what went down in the kitchen, think I had a moment of madness. I look across to Aidan’s table and see a blonde sitting in his lap, playing with his hair. Why do these girls fawn all over him knowing he is going to dump them like yesterday's trash? They are probably hoping they would be the one to tame him I suppose.

“Hi there gorgeous, looking pretty hot today,” Ryder says sitting next to me. Why is he sitting at our table?

“Thanks, why aren’t you sitting over there with your group?”

“You trying to get rid of me already, feel the love.” I laugh at his wounded face.

“Fine, you can sit with us.” The rest of lunch we talked about the party at Nick’s. “You should join us, don’t make me go alone,” I plead to Rebecca, she doesn’t want to be a third wheel, she won’t. I just don’t want to be stuck clinging to Ryder’s side all night.

“What am I? Invisible?”

“Rebecca please...” I beg ignoring Ryder, hearing him huff.

“I am not being a third wheel, plus parties aren’t really my thing, you go have fun and tell me all about it.” I look at her with my best sad puppy eyes, she shakes her head at me. “Not going to work.”

“Right fine, I will go by myself.” I huff, similar to Ryder’s.

“Hello, you are going with me, remember?” Rebecca and I giggle.

“Suppose you will do.”

“Yeah don’t over exert yourself.” I feel eyes on me, I turn to see Aidan glaring at me. I glare back, I even stick my tongue out at him, childish, but I want him to know he is being childish, too. “Who you sticking that pretty little tongue out to?” He turns to see Aidan looking at us. “Ahh, is he giving you a hard time? Want me to have words?” Words? Who says that?

“No more than usual, don’t worry I can handle him.” We talk some more, I say my goodbyes to Ryder, I see Aidan walking towards us, so I kiss Ryder on the cheek, I earn a cheeky smile in return. I hear a growl behind me, but I ignore it.

––––––––

Aidan

I.am.going.to.wipe, that.smile.off.his.face. I breathe through my nose. Watching him cuddling up to her, it’s driving me nuts. Watching her be carefree, laughing, doing little touches. I want to break his nose. I tell him to stay away and yet it makes him want her more. I am on the field, trying to do stretches and all I can hear is him going on and on about his date with Kacey.

“Think I am going to be the first guy to plow into her if you know what I mean.” I hear Ryder gloat. It takes so much not to go over there now.

“I think you are full of shit. She isn’t going to put out after one date. The most you will probably get is a kiss.” Even just knowing it will be a kiss, pisses me off, I don’t want his lips anywhere near hers.

“We will see, but I am going to use all my Ryder charm and have her in my bed, well any bed close by, by the end of the night.” I can’t take no more of this shit.

“Leave her the fuck alone, Ryder.” I seethe in his face.

“Or what? You going to hit me? Go ahead. You’re just jealous that you’re going to lose that bet, hate that I am going to get in there first. Maybe once I’m done with her you can have my sloppy seconds.” He smirks at me.

He fucking smirks at me.

“Like you have for the last few years? Every girl you touch, I have touched first. Does it kill you that you can’t out do me? I am God at this school. You will not touch her, you get me. I am warning you.”

“I am going to touch her, you can count on it, and I am going to feel her, and taste her. I am going to hear her scream out my name. You may be some God here, but in the bedroom I am God.” I laugh at him, he sounds so pathetic.

“That’s why they keep running back to me for more, especially after they have had you, they never want seconds. You are a dick, an even bigger dick than me, every girl knows it.”

“I have the bigger dick.” He did not just say that?

“I am going to pretend I never heard that, leave Kacey alone.”

“Come on guys, let’s hustle,” I hear coach yell out, the guys start to walk away but Ryder and I stay put, eyeing each other down.

“I am keeping my date, I am going to fulfill every promise.”

––––––––

I skipped drama again, not in the mood to deal with my stubborn stepsister. I need a fucking release. I am walking towards the bleachers when I see a girl, I’m sure I fucked a few times when she sees me she gives me a knowing smile, yes I have fucked her before.

“Well, well, what brings Mr. God out on this fine day?” Gossip truly spreads like wildfire around here.

“I need a good fuck, interested?”

“With you, always.” I take her hand and take her under the bleachers away from prying eyes.

I’m not bothered if someone sees but I’m sure she might. I unbuckle her shorts and pull them down with her panties, I can smell her arousal already. I lean down and lick my tongue up her thigh to her wet pussy, I feel her tremble. I grab one leg and put it over my shoulder so I have better access. I lick and suck. When I feel her come in my mouth, I drink every last drop. I stand, quickly pull out a condom, opening it with my teeth and rolling it on my cock then push inside the girl so fast I see stars.

I have to stop for a second before I blow my load. I feel her wrap her legs around my waist, her hand holding onto my neck, I feel like I am balls deep. I start to move, I am not gentle, I never do gentle. I go as hard as I can, I know the bleach girl is in ecstasy by her moans and screams. I feel her feet push against my ass, I know she wants more. I go as fast as I can, I feel my release coming, when I feel her come, her screaming out my name, I keep going. I feel her start to go limp by her orgasm, after a few more thrusts I groan, coming into the condom. I needed this, I needed this calmness that comes after a good fuck.

“That was amazing, always is when it’s with you.” I always hear good praise after sex, it never gets old.

“You are awesome.” I let her legs unwrap around me, I pull out. I quickly discard the condom and throw it in the nearest trash.

“If you ever need a good fuck, you know where to find me.” She kisses my lips, sorts her clothes out and walks away. I stand there leaning against the fence. For a moment I felt relaxed, this high normally lasts for a good while but for some reason today, the high didn’t last, I have no idea why?

––––––––

Chapter 21

Kacey

It’s been a few days since my shameless make out session with Aidan. I was so pissed off with him I regretfully got a date with Ryder this weekend. He has been all over me like a bad rash. Any chance he got he put his arm around my shoulder, showing the school he has claimed me, even though I want to scream that I am not his, and will never be his. Why did I put myself in this predicament? Yeah to piss Aidan off. I thought he would have kicked Ryder’s ass, but he hasn’t. He has stopped being a dick, but he has also stopped talking to me. I hate that a part of me misses having him around me, even when he was making my life hell. In some way, I liked having some sort of his attention. I think I am a glutton for punishment.

“Viv, my head is so messed up. I have been here for a month, I have gotten into so much hassle.” I whine down the phone.

“Why are you just telling me now that you let the fanny flutter stepbrother who you hated feel you up in the kitchen when you had guests in the house? This is such hot shit, I want to hear every dirty detail in the future. I am so mad at you for keeping this in for so long.”

“I am telling you I need help, all you care about is the dirty scenes in my life.”

“My life is boring at the moment, come on if this happened to me, you would want all the details.”

“True, but it only happened a few days ago.”

“Yeah the second kiss with the groping, but you should have filled me in on the first kiss, any other details I should know about?” I tell her all about the towel incident, me catching him masturbating. “Why the hell didn’t you tell me any of this? I am your best friend, it is my right to know all this. I can’t wait till next week when I come to see you, I need to know who has my friend all strung up,” she chuckles.

“Well, glad I can entertain you, but what should I do? We haven’t talked since the last kiss, I have a stupid date with his friend who is worse than him. I know he is after one thing, he is not getting that one thing from me.”

“Right okay, if it were me I would keep the date, make him jealous. Till then I would be teasing him with my body. Let him come to you.”

“Doesn’t that seem childish?” I ask unsure.

“It’s what girls do. You will know if he truly wants you if he ends up kicking this guy Ryder’s ass, if you ever feel his hard erection against you, you will definitely know he wants your body.”

“I don’t just want him to want my body, though.”

“Here is the serious question, if you could have a relationship with him, even though he is your stepbrother would you?” I pause and think, my dad would be so angry. I am sure we would get some shit from people, but if he would treat me with respect and not like one of his whores, I think I would.

“Yes, think I would.”

“Then you know what you have to do. Keep me filled in if anything else happens, I want to know ASAP, I am first priority to know the dirty details. Can’t wait to see you, girl, definitely can’t wait to see this Aidan of yours. Ring me anytime, I do expect a phone call on Sunday, on what went down at the party.”

“I can’t wait to see you, too. I will ring you Sunday if not beforehand.”

“Unless something dirty happens.” I laugh down the line.

“Unless something dirty happens.” We say our goodbyes, next week can’t come quick enough.

I am still fully awake, so I decide to head to the heated pool for a few laps. I haven’t had much time to enjoy it, I know I should enjoy it as much as I can. I get into my bikini, grab a clean towel and head down. Dad and Diana are out for dinner so they won’t be home till late. Aidan is out with his friends. He only comes home to sleep, I only get glimpses of him. Letting the heated water relax my body, I float on my back and relax. I hate how a part of me hates Aidan on what he has done to me at school, how he treats me at times around his friends, but I hate how my body craves him. I see small glimpses of the decent guy underneath, but he hardly shows that side.

I am in such deep thought, I never heard someone walking to the pool, till I feel eyes on me. I open my eyes to stare into such deep blue ones. He is sitting on the edge, his feet dangling in the water, watching me. I stand up, but my eyes never leave his. I feel my body heat up, I see his eyes full of want. I want his lips on me again. It’s like he knows what I am thinking.

“You need to stop looking at me like that, or I will follow on what your eyes are telling me,” he huskily tells me.

“What are my eyes telling you?” I breathe out.

“Your eyes are very expressive Kacey, they are telling me you want my mouth on you, you want a repeat of what happened in the kitchen?” I feel my cheeks heat up by his words. “Do you want me to touch you, Kacey? Kiss you? Taste you?” My head feels lightheaded when he starts to swim closer to me, till he is right in front of me. He leans closer, I can feel his breath on my lips, without thinking I lick my lips. His eyes follow the movement. “I need to taste you Kace, I want to feel you.” I close my eyes thinking he is about to kiss me. I need him to dull this ache, after a few moments when I don’t feel his lips on me, I open my eyes and he is staring at me. I know he wants me, why isn’t he doing anything?

“Night Kacey.” He kisses the corner of my mouth and swims back, climbing out of the pool and heading inside. What the hell? I need him to come back. I have such an ache I need a release. I growl with frustration. He decided now not to touch me.

I swim a few laps to try and ease this sexual frustration but it doesn’t work, my legs feel like lead. I grab my towel, wrap it around myself and head to my room. I lay on my bed and growl. I have never been so worked up before. I feel like a guy right now. I see Aidan’s eyes on me like he did at the pool, I see his muscles tense up when he was climbing out. I let my fingers glide down to my wet bikini bottoms, they were soaked from the water, but now my essence is mixed in as well. I play with my wet folds, fingering my clit, imaging it’s Aidan’s fingers. I imagine him above me, looking down at me with his lustful eyes.

I feel myself getting wetter and wetter. I am sure I am groaning and moaning. The ache is so intense. I finger my clit harder, faster. My legs are shaking, I am so close, I hear his voice telling me to come for him, to let go. I scream out his name when my release finally comes. I am breathing so heavily, when I open my eyes, I see Aidan at my door, watching me. My breathing is still coming fast, I see him taking in my moving chest to my fingers still in my bikini bottoms.

He watched me masturbate, he heard me call out his name. I feel the heat buildup with pure embarrassment. He knows I came because of him. Did I really hear him tell me to come for him? I can see his hard erection against his pyjama pants, he was turned on by what he saw. A part of me wants to ask him to come to me, but no words come out. He looks into my eyes once more, then closes my door, walking away. Oh God, he saw me finger myself, yet I feel even more turned on, knowing that he was watching me.

––––––––

Chapter 22

Aidan

I walk quickly to my room, drop my pyjama pants to my knees, I grab my cock and stroke myself so hard and fast, matching what I saw her fingers do. I heard her moaning so I thought something was wrong. Going to her room I opened her door, seeing her fingers inside her, watching her body arch above the bed with pleasure, was so fucking hot, everything she does is so fucking hot. I still see her moaning, I knew she was close when I saw her legs shaking with such need.

I had to tell her to come, but I’m sure she was so caught up in lustful thoughts she never heard me. Hearing her scream out my name, no words can explain what I felt. I was so shocked she was thinking of me. The thing between us at the pool must have worked her up as much as it did me. I keep stroking till I moan out with my own release with the image of her coming. I know she wants me, I just need to make sure she keeps wanting me, because when I claim her, she will be mine, only mine.

I kept my distance again, Nick assured me if I am hardly around she will want my company more. I told him what happened at the pool, I left out the part of me catching her masturbate over me, that is between us. Nick assured me giving her small sexual teases will make her want me, need me. I doubted the plan, but after seeing Kacey sprawled out on the bed, fingering herself I wouldn’t think the plan would work. At school I have been skipping our drama classes and I know I will need to rehearse the scene by next week or we will fail, I wouldn’t let Kacey fail due to me. I know if I have to do a romantic scene with her I will cave and want her then and there. After the party, I want her to know my intentions. That I want her. I am going to have her, even if we withhold on the sex part.

I want her to know I want her, it’s more than about sex.

I am in the kitchen at Nick’s watching people strolling in, I am waiting for Kacey to make her appearance. I hate that she is going to be alone with Ryder coming over here, but I can’t push her, I definitely can’t push her away. I need to stop telling her what to do as she is a stubborn woman, she will do the complete opposite of what I ask. It is one of the things I like about her, her fierceness. Girls are trying to flirt and seduce me, they want to be the chosen girl for the night, but I show no interest. None of them holds a candle to the one I want.

I am sipping on a beer when Nick bumps my shoulder, pointing at the door. I see Ryder smiling, looking proud of himself, I’m hoping he hasn’t touched her, kissed her. I feel the anger build in me, till I see Kacey walk up, looking around at her surroundings. My breath catches, she looks fucking amazing. She is wearing a floral type dress that clings to her curves like a second skin. She is showing off her long legs, and my eyes are drawn to the beautiful breasts, I remember touching them, I want to taste her pebbled nipples. I want to bite them until it brings her pleasure and pain while I suck on them.

I feel myself harden just thinking about it.

For the last hour I have been watching her stay at Ryder’s side, him introducing her to some people, but he basically ignores her. To him, she is just a trophy on his arm. She looks bored. I want to go over there and take her away, but not yet. I catch her eye, she stares at me, her cheeks blush, I’m sure she remembers what happened the last time we saw each other. Me catching her touching herself. I can’t help but smirk.

She whispers something in his ear, she holds his hand bringing him to the misshapen dance floor Nick has laid out. She is seductively dancing with him. I watch her sway her hips to the beat of the music. I notice most guys watching her, I want to punch each and every single one, even though they are doing what I am. A red haired girl comes over, and brushes her body against mine. If I didn’t notice Kacey watching, I would have pushed the girl away, but I remember Nick telling me to make her jealous.

Let’s see if his advice works.

“Want to dance?” she purrs at me.

“Sure.” I grab her hand and take her to the dance floor, I am a few feet away from Ryder and Kacey. I turn the girl so her back is to my front, and we move. The girl keeps grinding her ass against my dick, trying to work me up.

We dance to a few songs, I am sure the girl I’m dancing with is so turned on. I can hear her breaths coming in fast. If it were any other time I would have taken this girl upstairs to let her suck me off and then I would have fucked her. The only girl who I do want to sleep with is dancing with someone else.

I look over and Kacey is watching me, staring at me. She changes her body movements, grinding herself against him. I splay my hands on the girl’s waist, she pushes herself back into me, so we are closer. Kacey and I never let go of eye contact, we are just watching one another to the point I am pretending the girl in front of me is Kacey. I’m sure she is pretending she is dancing with me, too. Her lips are parted, I know she is turned on. I want to slam my mouth on hers again, taste her, feel her.

I watch her excuse herself and head upstairs probably to the bathroom. I see Ryder adjust himself when she walks away, watching her head upstairs. I feel disgusted by him. I hate he has felt her body against him. He probably thinks he has scored, like fuck he has. I walk away from the girl and start to head upstairs as well.

“Aidan, where are you going?” The redhead asked all huskily.

“I had fun, see you around, thanks for the dance.” I see her get angry, but I walk away before she can say anything else.

I walk down the hallway, I wait patiently against the wall. When Kacey walks out she stops when she notices me. She is about to say something, but I am in front of her pressing my lips to hers. She doesn’t push me away, she grabs the hair behind my neck pulling me closer to her. I feel her pulling my hair it’s almost to the point of pain, I have never been so turned on. I moan into her mouth, I feel her smile against my lips. The sneaky seductress. I pin my body against hers, letting her feel my erection.

“I want you, Kacey,” I say then kiss her jaw, her neck, back to her lips again.

“I’m not easy,” she breaths out. I know she isn’t.

“I want you more than sex, I want you. I want you for you.” She keeps hold of my hair but pulls her face away looking into my eyes.

Looking. Searching.

“I want you, too, but people will talk. I am not going to sleep with you straight away. As I said, I’m not that kind of girl.”

“I know you’re not that kind of girl, I love that you are different than everyone else. Screw anyone who gets in our way. I want you, need you. I wanted you the first time I laid my eyes on you.” She looks at me with shock, yeah my actions the last month don’t show actions that I want her apart from sex.

“But you have been a complete ass to me.”

“Yeah to keep you away from me, I couldn’t keep away from you, so I needed you to be the strong one.”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“Say you will be with me.” I kiss her once again, but this time it’s slow, gentle. I am putting how I feel into that kiss. “Want me,” I breathe. “Have me.”

“God, Aidan, didn’t think you would go this far to win some bet.” I freeze and pull away from Kacey, to see confusion in her eyes.

No, not now.

I turn and glare at Summer, she is standing there with a nasty smile that makes her look like the ugly person she is.

“Fuck off, Summer,” I growl.

“What bet?” Kacey whispers. I forgot about the bet, it’s been weeks since someone brought it up.

“The bet, Aidan made to get between your legs before you leave.” Summer says sweetly.

“Is this true, Aidan?” I see tears falling down her cheeks. I feel such a pain in my chest watching her hurt.

“I made that bet a couple of days after you arrived, I forgot all about it. I was angry when I made the bet. This doesn’t change anything, I still want you. Please. Believe me.” I plead to her, holding her hands, but she pulls her hands free from me.

“All this time you just tried to get between my legs? How much would you have won huh?” She asks angrily. I deserve her anger, her pain.

“The bet has gone up to eight hundred dollars last time I checked.” Summer adds in, I whiten. I watch Kacey shut her emotions off, building a wall up against me.

“Kacey, please.” I plead into her eyes once more, but she looks at me like I am a stranger.

A nobody.

“Goodbye, Aidan.” I watch her walk away, following her till she is out of sight. I turn and stare at Summer, she is smiling at me. I have never once hit a girl, I feel like I want to make an exception.

“You shouldn’t have fucked with me, Aid.” WHO THE FUCK DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?

“YOU, are going to regret this.” I push her body against the wall hard, I’m sure I knocked the wind out of her. I see the fear shine in her eyes, good. I am practically spitting out my words. “You are pathetic, just because I wouldn’t touch you? I would never touch you even if you paid me. I am going to make you fucking pay for what you have just done. I am going to ruin your fucked up life. I promise of all things holy, I’m going to take you down. You are an ugly bitch, I am going to make sure everyone sees it. You picked the wrong person to mess with.” I spit out.

“I’m not scared of you.” I know she is, I can see it in her eyes.

“You better be, I am God at this school. GOD. I am going to put you in the ground where you belong.” I walk downstairs, my blood boiling. I am going to make sure I fill out my promise. She has ruined the one good thing that was going to happen to me. I was going to have my girl. I scream at the top of my lungs. When I look around the music has stopped, everyone is staring. I feel such pain and such hatred.

“You okay, man?” Nick walks up to me.

“I want that bitch out now,” I growl pointing at Summer walking down the stairs, she looks shocked, scared. Did she think I wasn’t going to follow through?

“Guys kick her out,” Nick says. I see some guys on the team grab onto Summer’s arms taking her to the door.

“What the hell? You can’t kick me out.”

“My house, my rules. Aid wants you out, you go out.” Nick shrugs.

“Wait!” They stop near the door, I glare at Summer, then turn around, shouting out my words so I know everyone hears me. “Summer has now been dethroned. She is a nobody, a skank, shit on your shoe, an UGLY bitch. I want you all to do the freeze out.” I hear gasps, but I ignore it. The freeze-out is a high school myth, but I am using it. I know everyone here will do what I have asked, they will ignore her, treat her like the scum that she is.

“You can’t do this.”

“I just have. You...” I point to one of Summer’s followers. I have slept with her a few times, long black hair, hazel eyes, sweet. “Will take over Summer’s spot.” She points to herself then smiles.

“Thanks, Aidan, I will do my best. Girls I don’t want any of you approaching, speaking or even thinking about this trash.” She points at Summer. The girls are her new followers now, they will listen or they know they will be chucked out of the group, away from the parties, away from the popular guys.

“You are meant to be my friends.” Summer screams.

“You never treated us as friends, you are just a bully, a bitch, and it’s about time you were put in your place.” I like this girl, too bad my heart belongs to one that is hurting. I watch the guys take Summer away.

“Okay guys, let’s party,” I shout out, the music comes back on, I head back to the kitchen. People are congratulating me on putting Summer in her place. The anger has now gone, the pain is there full force, though.

“What happened? I know you wouldn’t have done the freeze out if some shit didn’t go down.” Nick asks, handing over a beer. I down half of it.

“I finally told Kacey I wanted her, wanted her more than sex, Summer came and told her about that stupid bet. I forgot all about it or I would have stopped it. She was about to say yes, Nick. I was going to have her.” I finish the rest of my beer, Nick passes me another.

“I am so sorry, man. You just need to fight for her, explain.”

“You should have seen her face, she was so hurt, then she looked at me with vacant eyes. I don’t know if we will come back from this.”

“What? You are just going to give up? Let Ryder swoop on in?”

“What has Ryder got to do with this?”

“He took her home, knowing him, he is going to try it with her. You have to hope she doesn’t do stupid things when she is hurting.”

Fuck.

Chapter 23

Kacey

I am sitting in the car with Ryder going over what Summer has said. Aidan made a bet to sleep with me? Everything he said and did for the last five weeks never hurt as much as this. I thought he did start to care for me. His words that he wants me needs me keep running through my head. I believed every word he said. The kiss was so sensual, so gentle. God, I am such an idiot. I was willing to have a relationship with him even though I knew it was wrong, but I didn’t care. I feel tears prickle behind my eyes, but I take in a few breaths to keep them at bay. I need to talk to my mom. I miss her so much. We had a few phone calls, I always left out what was going on with Aidan, but I need her advice.

“You’re deep in thought,” Ryder says pulling into the driveway to my home, my dad’s home.

“Just thinking. Thanks for taking me home, sorry to ruin the night for you.”

“It’s okay, I know it can be a bit much going to a party and not really knowing anyone. At least we are alone, though.” I need to get out of this car, I am not in the mood for Ryder to try and hit on me.

“Thanks for the lift, see you on Monday.” I am about to get out when Ryder grabs my face and kisses me. I try and pull away, but he has got a strong hold on me, not letting me go. “Ryder please,” I say against his lips, but he tries to ram his tongue in my mouth. I finally push as hard as I could against his chest.

“Come on don’t be a tease.” He tries to kiss me again, but I slap him across his face, I feel the sting in my hand.

“No, I am going.” I seethe. I’m about to turn around, then I feel a sting on my cheek, I see stars. I then feel Ryder’s body on top of mine.

“I know you want me, I am going to give you what you want,” Ryder growls out, unbuckling his belt, I hear him undo his zipper. Oh, God, this can’t be happening, he wouldn’t force himself on me, would he?

“Ryder stop,” I cry and try and push him off. I feel another slap across my face.

“Stop fucking moving. I am going to take you, I am going to give you what you need.” I feel him pulling up my dress. The tears are coming full force. I can’t believe he is going to rape me. I can’t be raped. I try and wiggle, but he is too strong.

“Please stop,” I beg, but he doesn’t listen, he leans up to pull his jeans down, my face is in pain and agony. I scream at the top of my lungs hoping someone hears me. He covers my mouth with his hand. I keep wiggling then I feel space near my leg and I kick as hard as I can. I hear him groan, he leans up so I quickly wiggle out from beneath him and open the door. I fall on the ground, I have so much adrenaline. I pick myself up and run to the door as fast as I can. I quickly grab my keys and luckily with shaky hands I open it.

“Get the fuck back here,” I hear Ryder shout at me, I quickly lock the door, bolting it up. I hear banging on the door, but I know he can’t get in. I am sitting in the dark, leaning against the door, tears falling down my face. “Open the door, Kacey, I am sorry. Please open the door.” Ryder asks sounding sincere, but I know it’s all an act. He bangs for a few minutes but then I hear him get back in his car and drive away.

I am safe, I am safe, I am safe, I say over and over.

I almost got raped, I lay on the floor in a tight ball and cry myself to sleep.

“Kacey, Kacey.” Someone is shaking me, I wake up and scurry to the wall thinking Ryder has somehow got in. I look up in the dark to see Aidan knelt looking at me. I know I hate him, but I know he will keep me safe. I crawl straight to him, sobbing my heart out. I am in his lap, he is stroking my hair. “Kacey, what happened? Did Ryder do something?” I can’t talk, I just keep crying. I feel him wrap his arms around me and carries me to the couch, he switches on the lamp. The light almost blinds me. How long have I been asleep? When I turn I see anger and shock go across Aidan’s face.

“What did that fucker do to you?” He growls, touching my face, I flinch by the pain.

“He... he... tried to come onto me. I told him no, but he wouldn’t listen. He tried to kiss me again and I slapped him, then he slapped me back, the next thing... the next thing he was on top of me, he... he...” I cry, and Aidan pulls me back onto his lap, rocking me. Telling me everything is going to be okay. “He tried to rape me,” I whisper, then continuing crying till no more tears come.

“We need to call the police, Kace. He may do this to someone else, or has already.” Aidan tries to say calmly, but I know he wants to shout and break things, I can see it in his eyes, but he is trying to stay strong for me.

“He’s your friend.”

“I don’t give a shit if he was the fucking, Pope. He tried to rape you, he has changed. He’s a fucking monster, what he tried to do to you. He is no friend of mine. We need to do this, it’s the right thing to do.” I know he is right, if I don’t, what if he tries to do this with another poor girl, what if he has already? The girl too afraid to speak up. I nod and Aidan grabs the phone calling 911, but he never leaves me.

After fifteen minutes, the police show up, a man and a woman. They try and reassure me that I am doing the right thing. I tell them what happened in the car, what Ryder said, what he did. They took pictures of my face. All the time the police was here, Aidan still held me in his lap, he only left me to open the door, but again pulled me into him. After thirty minutes the police got everything they need, they leave and assure us they are going to arrest him. Aidan gave the address of the party, as we think he would have gone back there.

“You did good, baby, I’m so proud of you.” He holds me to him, stroking my head, kissing my forehead. I’ve never felt so safe. Everything that has happened tonight between us can be put on hold, tonight I need him near me, to protect me. “Let’s go clean you up, then take you to bed.” Aidan picks me up and carries me upstairs, I wrap my arms around his neck and lay my head against his chest.

He takes me to the bathroom and sits me on the counter. He pulls out a first aid box, and gets antiseptic wipes and wipes the side of my face gently. He then puts cream on, because he has to rub it in, I have to close my eyes as I feel the sting of the pain. I don’t dare look in the mirror. It’s a good thing Dad and Diana have gone out, I know Dad is going to go ballistic in the morning.

“Sorry, the cream will help with the bruising and swelling.” I open my eyes and see sadness and guilt in his.

“This wasn’t your fault,” I whisper. He bows his head. I stroke his face, and put my finger under his chin wanting him to look back up at me. “This isn’t your fault,” I say once again.

“Tonight was meant to be a new beginning for you and me. I wanted us to be together and Summer ruined it, then Ryder almost...” He stops. I know he doesn’t want to say it. He really meant for us to be together?

“You really wanted to be with me?” I ask. I need to know. I know he wouldn’t lie, not now.

“Yes, I want to be with you, I want to look after you, care for you. I made that bet weeks ago, I did honestly forget about it. I was an ass to you. I am so sorry, I knew I couldn’t have you, yet I still wanted to be part of your life even if it was the dick in your life,” he chuckles. I want to be with him, but after tonight.

“Aidan, I do want to be with you, but after what happened tonight, I need space. I need time.”

“I understand, but remember I will be here waiting.” He picks me back up and takes me to my room. He quickly leaves me and comes back with one of his T-shirts. He grabs my dress and slides it up above my head, he never once lingers over my body, he puts his T-shirt on me, kisses my forehead, as he pulls back my covers. I slide in and look at him. He looks so hot, so gorgeous. “Goodnight, baby.” He stands and is about to leave me, dread fills me.

I don’t want to be alone.

“Aidan,” I yell out.

“Yeah.”

“Um, can you sleep next to me please, don’t want to be alone,” I ask. He looks at me and then the bed.

“Okay,” he whispers. He shuts my door and lays in my bed, he goes on his side and pulls me against him so we are spooning. I feel his hand go around my waist and holds my hand.

“Thank you,” I whisper.

“Anytime, sweet dreams.” He kisses my head, I instantly fall asleep, knowing I am safe.

––––––––

Chapter 24

Aidan

I am laying in Kacey’s bed, listening to her deep breathing. I hate what she has been through tonight. She took the wrath of Summer, then almost got, I can’t even say it. I feel sick to my stomach. Hearing her re-tell what happened made me want to go back to the party and kill Ryder for what he has done. He has scared her. She will always remember this. Tending to her face almost killed me, seeing the pain she was dealing with. Her face is black and blue, luckily her eye is fine, if he hit her a little higher, her eye would have been swollen shut.

I couldn’t sleep, too many thoughts are running through my head. I need to protect her always, she is my girl. I know she isn’t ready, I don’t blame her, but she is mine, she will eventually know she belongs to me, but I will give her time. I will wait until she is ready. When I see the sun start to shine through the window, I slide out from under Kacey. I hate to leave her, but I need to tell our parents what happened. I heard them come home during the night, but I didn’t want to disturb them yet. I wanted Kacey to have her rest.

I stand at the door and watch her turn and hug the pillow I was laying on, I want to crawl back under the covers and hold her, but I need to do this. I walk downstairs and see Marc and Mom talking and laughing at the breakfast island. I hate what I have to tell them, I can’t even imagine what Marc is going to do. He adores Kacey, anyone can see that she can do no wrong in his eyes.

“Sleep in your clothes again? That kind of party, huh?” Mom says jokingly. I sit on the spare stool and look at my hands.

“You okay, son?” Marc asks, I wince at the endearment. I want his daughter to be mine, he sees me as his own.

“Sweetie, what’s wrong?” Mom asks. I look up and see their concerned faces.

“Something happened last night.”

“What happened, are you okay?” Mom asks.

“I’m okay, but it wasn’t me, it’s Kacey.” Marc stands up.

“Kacey, what happened, is she okay? Where is she?”

“She is sleeping, but she got attacked, sexually attacked.”

“WHAT?” Marc shouts, I flinch by the anger all over his face, his face is turning red.

“Ryder was her date, he took her home and tried to get it on with her, she said no, but he didn’t listen and tried to... tried to...”

“Tried to WHAT?”

“Rape her.” I hear a plate smash against the wall, I stand up walking back. Marc sweeps everything off the island. He is yelling and swearing. I see Mom’s tears flowing down her cheeks, she is trying to calm Marc down, but it’s like he can’t hear her, then he falls to the floor in tears. I have never seen a grown man cry before.

“Mom, there’s something else.” They both turn to look at me. “He hit her a couple of times, I dealt with her wounds, but she is going to be sore and look bad for a little while. We called the police and filed a report, but we haven’t heard anything yet.” I hear Marc cry into his hands, then he stands with determination. He grabs his phone and dials a number.

“Steve, I need you to look into a report that was filed last night by my daughter. I need to know what is getting done.” He pauses to hear what this Steve guy is saying. “I want it ASAP, some guy tried to RAPE my daughter.” He hangs up and then dials another number.

“Gary, Marc, here. I need you to come here as soon as you can, I want some legal advice.” Marc hangs up and paces the room. I know Marc has money, I know he has connections, he is going to do whatever it takes to take Ryder down. I hope Ryder gets locked up for life.

We are sitting quietly in the living room all lost in thought, when we hear footsteps come down the stairs, we all turn to watch Kacey walk towards us. Her eyes are puffy and swollen by her tears, I wince when I see the side of her face, it’s fully covered in dark bruises, no makeup will be able to cover that up. I watch Marc stand up and run to his daughter, hugging her for dear life.

“I am going to make sure that piece of trash gets what he deserves,” Marc says, still holding onto his daughter.

“The police will sort it, I don’t want any more fuss, I want to move on from this. I need to move on from this.” She takes in a deep breath and walks into the kitchen. I sit there wondering if I should follow her.

“I will make her something to eat,” Mom says following Kacey. I feel so helpless. I look at Marc and know he feels the same.

“I want to thank you for taking care of Kacey, but you should have called me.” I know I should have, but she needed her rest, but didn’t want to argue with the guy, if it was my daughter I would want to know.

“I know, I’m sorry.”

“This is one big mess, has she phoned her Mom yet?”

“I don’t think so.”

“I will call her now.” I watch him walk away. I sit there alone. I get up and walk to the kitchen. I see Mom and Kacey sitting at the table in silence, I know Mom is being there for her even if they both don’t say anything I know they both need it.

“I am going to head to Nick’s to see if he knows anything, see if he can tell me if the police got hold of Ryder. I need to do something.” Kacey looks up and pierces me with her eyes. She looks broken, I only hope she can come back from this.

“Nick,” I yell as I make my way through his house. I see empty beer cups, rubbish, even panties, everywhere. God I would hate to be his cleaning lady with how many parties he goes through. His parents are hardly here so he indulges in his get together’s. “Nick,” I yell again.

“I’m here, I’m here what’s up.” He yawns.

“Did Ryder come back here after I left last night?”

“No, man, he didn’t. Why, what’s up?” I sit on the closest couch and sink into it, leaning forward putting my face into my hands.

“Ryder tried to rape Kacey last night.”

“He never did? Is she okay?” I look at him, I’m sure he can see the agony in my eyes. He sits next to me, waiting for me to continue.

“He hit her a couple of times when she tried to get away. Her left side of her face is black and blue, luckily it’s just bruising and nothing is broken. I still can’t believe he did it. I grew up with him, we grew up with him. He has turned into some sicko. I just pray he hasn’t tried to do it with another girl. At this point, nothing would surprise me.” I look at Nick and he looks like he wants to say something. “Nick, do you know something?”

“Listen, a year ago remember that girl from England that came to our school for the month?”

“Yeah the quiet one, the one every guy tried to sleep with, but she turned everyone down. Didn’t she have a thing with? Ryder?”

“Ryder played the good guy, the good listener, the usual bullshit. She went out on a couple of dates with him, well apparently rumor was he raped her. She left early because of it. I didn’t know what to believe. His father paid a lot of money to keep it quiet but you know me, I always know this kind of shit. I asked him about it and he said they slept together because he didn’t want anything more to do with her and she went crazy and started accusing him of shit. I left it like that.” I look at him taking in the whole story. Ryder raped that poor girl? He tried to do it again.

With Kacey.

What crazy fucker is he? I stand and start pacing.

“Why didn’t you tell me? We could have stopped him from doing it again, that sick fucker. I want to kill him.” I growl.

“Listen, I thought he was telling the truth so I left it. What else was I meant to believe? He was our friend. I am sorry, man.” I know it’s not his fault. I wouldn’t know what I would have done if I were in his shoes. Would I have believed him? I probably would, as he was my best friend.

“I hate this, I don’t know what to do. I feel like this is out of my hands.”

“It is, all you can do now is be there for that poor girl. Ryder will get what’s coming to him.”

“I hope so, I really hope so.”

If not, I will make him pay.

Chapter 25

Kacey

We got the phone call from the police earlier, Ryder has been taking in for questioning and he is denying the rape charges. He is saying he never once touched me. It’s now his word over mine. Even though my face is black and blue, he denies it all. I hate him so much for what he is putting me through. His dad has called in some fancy lawyer, now he is out on bail. There is no justice in this world. Dad is having his lawyer come to the house to tell us what the best course of action would be. Dad is outraged that Ryder is walking free. I have to keep calming him down or he is going to have a heart attack.

I am sitting on the couch looking at the smartly dressed Lawyer, you can tell that he smells of money by his designer clothing, but Dad assures me he is the best and money is no option. He wants me to have closure, and he wants Ryder punished for what he has done. Aidan still hasn’t returned. I miss him, I need him. Just knowing he is in the same room as me makes me feel safe. Dad and fancy pants are talking, I am just sitting there letting the words wash over me.

“We will take this to court, we have photographic evidence of his physical attack, we have statements from you and Aidan, you did the right thing by calling the police right after. That will also be in your favor. We have witnesses that saw Ryder take you home. Let’s pray that is enough for him to be charged because he is eighteen he will be charged as an adult.

“I may have some proof,” Aidan says walking straight towards us.

“Aidan,” I whisper, he looks at me, I already feel calmer, grounded.

“What are you talking about, Aidan?” Dad asks.

“Just been at Nick’s, he told me Ryder raped a girl from England. She called the police, but his dad made it all go away. Surely we can dig it back out.”

“I will look into it.” The lawyer guy says. I know I was introduced to him, but I wasn’t paying attention.

“Mom, I’m okay, Dad is looking after me. You don’t need to come here.” I say over the phone to my mom. Dad rang her to tell her what has happened, she has been crying down the phone to me, I cried with her. I miss hearing her voice. I just want her to hold me.

“I want to come see you. What you went through. I hate that I am on the opposite side of the state. I will catch the first plane out.”

“Mom, this job is a once in a lifetime opportunity, we are dealing with this. I am safe.”

“I can’t wait for us to be back at home, back in our beds, back to where I can keep an eye on you.”

“Mom, I am going to college after the summer so you can’t keep an eye on me forever.”

“Didn’t you hear, you aren’t going? You will stay in your room till I feel that the world is safe for you to come back out to.” I chuckle down the line. “Nice dream though right?” She says.

“Yes, but you can’t keep me locked up forever.”

“I miss you so much.”

“I miss you, too.”

I stayed off school for the week so the bruising could fade down, I didn’t want people staring at me. I haven’t filled in Viv or Rebecca on what has happened. Viv is meant to be coming here any minute. Dad has gone to the airport to pick her up. I would have gone, but I didn’t want her to cause a scene at the airport. Rebecca is on her way now, too, she thinks I caught the flu. I know if I told either of them, they would go all crazy on me. Aidan has been amazing, we talk and laugh when he comes in from school. We play Black Ops on his Xbox, which I completely suck at. At night, he sneaks into my room and spoons with me. Keeping me safe. He has quickly placed a spot into my heart, I can’t imagine not being around him. He is sitting there trying to distract me as I wait for my best friends to arrive.

“If you bite your nails anymore you are going to have none left,” Aidan says next to me.

“Sorry, just hate that I have to tell them what happened. If I could keep it to myself, I would.” The next thing I know he has picked me up and placed me on his lap.

“You are the strongest person I have ever met, think they will notice that something has happened.” He strokes down the side of my face where the bruises have calmed down to a yellowy color.

I close my eyes and lean into his touch. When I open them, he is staring at my lips. I shouldn’t want to kiss him, especially what that dick did to me, but Aidan has cast a spell over me. It has been a week since he last touched me romantically. He is always careful not pushing me.

I lean my head up and lay my lips on his, he doesn’t move, is he scared to kiss me back? I lick his bottom lip, that’s all it takes, he deepens the kiss, letting his tongue dance with mine. I groan into his mouth. I feel normal, I feel like my old self when he is around me, he doesn’t see me as broken, he sees me for me. Dad and Diana have acted like they are walking on egg shells around me, Aidan treats me how I want to be treated, normal.

The door pushes open and I jump landing on the floor, I quickly get up and sit on the couch. I’m sure my cheeks are all flushed. I look at the door expecting to see my dad, but luckily it’s Viv and she is staring at me and Aidan with a knowing smile, the smile fades when she sees my face.

“What the fuck happened to you?” She runs to my side, holding my chin and turning my face to the side.

“Nice to see you, too.”

“Tell me now who did this?” She glares at Aidan, oh God she thinks Aidan had something to do with this.

“Viv, I know what you are thinking and Aidan had nothing to do with this, so calm down. I will tell you everything, but we have to wait for Rebecca to come. I will tell you both at the same time.” I say all in one go.

“I am your best friend I should know this right now.” She pouts.

“You are my best friend, and she is, too, so put that lip away and wait patiently.” She crosses her arms and huffs at me.

“So this is the infamous, Viv?” Aidan speaks up.

“The one and only. You must be the guy that has my girl’s head all over the place? You are definitely hotter than what she told me.” Aidan raises an eyebrow, I groan into my hands.

“Let’s not talk about this, please.”

“Talk about what?” Dad asks, walking in with two heavy suitcases. Viv always has to over pack, she is only here for the weekend and it looks like she has packed for two weeks. “God, what have you packed? Are you moving in?” Dad complains dropping the suitcases near the stairs.

“If you let me, I will.” Viv flutters her eyelashes at him.

“Hope you’re not flirting with my husband?” Diana asks carrying in some groceries, smirking at Dad, causing him to blush.

“Me? Always.” I chuckle at her bluntness.

“Just checking,” Diana winks at Dad. “Want to help me put these away?” Dad follows her to the kitchen.

“I get what you mean with Diana, I like her already.”

“What did you say about my mom?” Aidan asks.

“Nothing.” Viv and I laugh.

Rebecca shows up ten minutes later, we are all sitting on the couch. Aidan has stayed by my side, I notice he is having trouble not touching me. I see his hands fist up and release when he feels he should be comforting me. I am staring at both my friends, knowing this is going to kill them, but I know this is going to get out, they deserve to hear this from me.

“Right, where do I start? I haven’t been ill for the last week. I have stayed at home to heal the bruises. I know you are wondering how I got them in the first place.” They nod, I take in a deep breath. “I was attacked after the house party last Saturday.” They both gasp. “Ryder took me home, he tried to come onto me. I pushed him away, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. So, I slapped him, but he slapped me back, much harder. He tried to, he tried to...” I feel Aidan hold my hand, giving me the strength to continue, I see both Viv and Rebecca watch the simple gesture. “He tried to rape me, when I tried to get away he hit me again, luckily I was able to escape, but he is denying everything.”

“What the bloody fuck? I am going to kill him, I am going to get a blunt pair of scissors and cut his dick off so he wouldn’t be able to do this to another living soul.” Viv is pacing and swearing all sorts, I look at Rebecca and see she is crying. I let go of Aidan’s hand and join Rebecca holding her.

“I should have gone to the party with you, I just didn’t want to be the third wheel. I should have been there.” She cries into my neck.

“This is not your fault, least now we can fight to put him away so he can’t do this to anyone else.”

“Wait, he has done this to someone else?” Viv asks.

“Yeah we had a foreign exchange student last year from England, we think he raped her, he denied it all, his dad was able to keep it quiet,” Aidan says.

“That limp dick. What happens now?”

“We are going to court in a couple of weeks. Ryder’s dad has got the best lawyer to try and get him off but, Dad has paid for an even better one, well from what he says. We just have to hope we win.”

“And if you don’t?” I don’t even want to think about it.

“He could get off with a warning, community service if he gets done for hitting me, but he will get away from the sexual assault charges.”

“This is shit, where is he now? In jail I hope?” I turn away.

“He is out on bail.” Aidan fills her in.

“That’s why he is still at school?” Rebecca adds in still with tears in her eyes.

“You are telling me you are going back to school on Monday with that Monster a few feet away from you. I want to kill that fucker, bury him alive in my garden so I can hear him scream.”

“What a very lady-like mouth you have.” I turn to see Nick has just walked in, and he is eyeing up Viv with appreciation.

“Well, this fucker has messed with the wrong girl.”

“I can see that.” He eyes her up and down, I see Viv blush. What the hell? Viv never blushes. “I’m Nick, by the way, a friend of Aidan’s.” He walks closer to her, I see she is affected by him, it takes a lot not to chuckle at her.

“Viv, BFF with Kacey.” They shake hands, I notice their touch linger.

Well, well, well.

Chapter 26

Aidan

“That Viv is one piece of work.” We are sitting near my pool, Nick has been talking about Viv for a good ten minutes. I think someone is smitten. I raise my eyebrows at him. “What?”

“You like her,” I state.

“Who wouldn’t like her, she has a body made of sin and a sailor's mouth. The things I could do with that body.”

“Just because she talks the talk, doesn’t mean she walks the walk. I know you like certain tastes in the bedroom, doesn’t mean she does.”

“Too bad, she is one fine ass, though.” I hear giggles behind me and watch the three girls come out in their bikinis. God, why do you have to be so cruel? Kacey walks out with just enough material to cover the essential parts. “Fuck me, I think I may go all vanilla for just one night with her, fuck.”

“Kacey,” I yell at her, she turns. I have to hold back a groan. I see her long legs, tight stomach, her supple breasts, fuck she was made for me.

“Aidan, my eyes are up here,” she giggles. “What’s up?”

“Could you not wear more material, I’m dying over here,” I beg. I watch her saunter over to me, I’m sure she is swaying her hips on purpose to drive me crazy. She kneels on my lounge chair and crawls up towards me, I have to hold my breath.

“Do you not like my bikini?” She whispers. All I can do is nod. “Do you like my body?” Again, I can’t speak, I nod my head. I lick my lips, her breasts are right in front of me, I could just lean down and taste them. “Do you want me all wet?” I nod. “Good.” She stands up walking away, I look confused, what happened? I have such a hard on, I can’t think straight. I can still smell her. “Come on girls, let’s get wet.” I hear the girls giggle as they walk into the pool. The sneaky little seductress.

“Man that was hot. She just teased you, you fell for it,” Nick chuckles at me.

“Yo, Viv,” I shout.

“What the fuck, man?” Nick asks, but I ignore him, I watch Viv turn towards us.

“Nick thinks your body is a sin.” I hear Nick groan, and I chuckle. Payback is a bitch.

“Oh really?” I nod. “Nick, you have no idea how sinful I can be. When I fuck, I fuck hard and fast. I don’t expect anything less than mind blowing. And Nick?”

“Yeah?” He groans out.

“Too bad you will never find out.” She winks at him then starts talking to the girls again. I like the girl. She is the complete opposite of Kacey, but I guess that’s what attracted them as friends.

“I am going to have her, don’t give a shit what it takes, she will be beneath me one of these days.”

“Nick, you sound like me when I first met Kace.” I laugh.

“Oh fuck, what have we turned into?” My thoughts exactly. Kacey turns and gives me a warm smile, I know I wouldn’t change a thing.

Chapter 27

Kacey

Today is my first day back to school. Viv caught her flight back home, I miss her already. I was so happy she and Rebecca got along, they promised to accept each other’s friend requests on Facebook to stay in touch. Nick, on the other hand, was eyeing Viv non-stop. Every time I pointed it out to her, she just shrugged, but I know her, I know she was thrilled she captured his attention. Too bad they live so far apart, yet I realize it won’t be long till I have to live that far apart from Aidan. We can’t do long distance relationships. We aren’t even in a relationship now.

Because you told him you needed space, he is giving that to you, my head tells me.

It’s too soon, what if I go all panicky when we get intimate? What if I’m damaged for life? I can’t expect him to put his life on hold waiting for me to know what I want. I know I want him, but do I only want him for selfish reasons? I feel safe with him, I enjoy his company, him being with any other girl shatters me. We have got so much closer the last week, I am not ready to give him up.

I am now sitting in Aidan’s car in the school parking lot, I feel even more nervous than the first day I came here. I remember how much Aidan was a dick that day. It’s funny how much he has changed over the month and a half. He has been my rock, my strength. I hate how clingy I feel that I need him by me, but I don’t care, he is willing, I am accepting.

“Don’t be nervous, you have done nothing wrong,” Aidan says holding my hand, stroking my knuckles with his thumb.

“I know, I’m just not looking forward to the whispers and stares. You think I would be used to it with all the crap you spread about me.” I chuckle. I look at Aidan looking out the window. I didn’t mean to upset him.

“I was an ass, I told you this. Please, can we forget how I treated you, I’m not proud of myself.” I stroke his cheek and kiss him quickly on the lips.

“I was trying to be funny, obviously I failed. I know you did what you did to stay closer to me, we do strange things when we are attracted to someone. Look at me when I caught you masturbating, I couldn’t move.” I feel my cheeks blush.

“That was the hottest thing, you watching me. I think I knew then, that you were it for me. Your innocence there on the surface, but the dirty girl that lays hidden. Your fierceness is also what made me want you more. You are just the perfect package for me.”

“I can be very, very dirty when I want to be.” I wink then climb out the car, I hear him groan behind me, I can’t stop the huge smile on my face.

“You are going to be punished for that.”

“Oh yeah? How?” I put my hands on my hips waiting. He picks me up over his shoulder walking me towards the school. “Aidan, put me down you, Buffoon.” I giggle and smack his butt. He smacks my ass in return. “You never know Aidan, spanking may turn me on.” I hear him groan again. He is easy to wind up.

“Well isn’t this cozy.” I hear behind me. Aidan drops me down and I am so happy I decided on a pair of black skinny jeans today. “The stepbrother getting all close to his stepsister. How cute.” Summer seethes.

“Get a fucking life,” Aidan growls, he is standing in front of me, a protective gesture.

“You may have frozen me out, kicked me out of the popularity crowd, but I can deal with that. I will be back on top when I get to college, but for now I am going to make it my life mission to torment, punish, and hurt your precious sister.” I flinch by the word.

We aren’t even related.

“You won’t touch her.”

“You won’t be around her 24/7, I already got my first stage in place. Who was with Ryder the night of the party?” What is she talking about? I don’t get it.

“He was with Kacey. Whatever you're up to, stop.”

“Oh no he wasn’t, he was with me, Kacey stormed off after he wouldn’t sleep with her, and he came to me. Well, that’s what I told the police anyway.” I look at her in shock, no, she can’t do this.

“Oh they won’t believe you, it takes you all this time to put in a statement, it won’t stick,” Aidan growls at her, I feel myself getting lightheaded. He is going to get away with it?

“We will see, don’t know why you guys are so enthralled with her, is it because she is a new toy for you guys to play with? Look at her, though, she is just a walking rape target. Too bad he never finished the job, maybe then she wouldn’t be such a cock tease. Maybe she is a whore deep down.” Aidan is about to launch for her, but I step in front of her and punch her in the face, I have tears falling down my face. How dare she talk like that to me. She tried to launch herself at me but I side step her and punch her in her throat, she winces and has difficulty breathing.

“Don’t you ever talk to me like that again, I was almost raped, and you think it’s a joke? You must be one sick bitch to help a rapist. My dad is going to look into where you really were that night when he does you will be charged for perjury. Good luck in court.” I spit out and when I look up everyone is watching me, mouths hanging open. Guess no one knew about Ryder then.

“Do you want to head back home, we can.” I shake my head.

“I need to do this, I am not letting this one person bring me down.” Aidan wraps his arm around my shoulder and guides me to Homeroom, when I get there Rebecca is sitting in her seat, but she gets up when she sees me.

“What happened?” She asks looking concerned, I wipe the tears away.

“Summer basically lied to the police saying she was with Ryder on Saturday night, and she said I basically deserved to get raped.”

“She didn’t, what a monster.”

“Our girl punched her, though, twice,” Aidan adds in.

“You didn’t?” Rebecca laughs. “Wish I saw that.” Aidan kisses my forehead and goes to his seat. “I have changed my mind about him, he is a good guy.” Yeah, I turn and look at him, he turns away from the conversation with one of his friends and winks at me.

Yeah, he is a good guy.

I am sitting in English Literature when a student comes into class and hands a note to Mr. Sterrans. He reads it and looks at me, I feel my heart hammering. What has happened?

“Kacey, you are wanted at the principal’s office.” I nod and gather my things, Rebecca looks at me and whispers what is happening, but I shrug. I head to the door and look back to see Aidan. He looks concerned. I give him a smile and walk out. Walking down these quiet corridors is weird.

Heading to the offices, I see the same old lady from my first day here. It’s weird how so much as happened, in such a short period of time. I straighten my shoulders and take a deep breath.

“Hi, sweetie, what can I do you for?”

“I was told to come to the principal's office, but not sure what about.”

“Take a seat, I will tell Ms. Watkins that you are here.”

“Thanks.” I take the same seat I sat in last time and wait. I watch the old lady use the phone saying I’m here and gives me a smile telling me I will be seen shortly. I feel like I have been waiting for ages but know it’s only been a short few minutes.

“Ms. Watkins is ready to see you now, just walk through the door.” She points at a door, I stand and knock.

“Come in,” I hear a voice yell through the door. I have never been in trouble in my life. I am a good person.

“Miss Vermont, please take a seat.” I sit down in one of the chairs in front of me, I see the Principal in front of her desk, watching me. She looks like she could be in her mid-forties, dark brown hair, and dark framed glasses covering brown eyes. She looks very professional. “Do you know why you are here?” I shake my head.

“A student here was victimized, I don’t tolerate bullying at my school especially physical assaults. I don’t know what they allow in your old school, but this is unacceptable.” What? I know she is talking about Summer, but that’s not what happened, well kinda but I can explain.

“But...”

“No buts, I won’t allow this. You will have to be expelled until further notice, this will go on your permanent record. I looked through your records, you’re a good student, I don’t know what has caused you to be disobedient, but I will not let it continue. Your parents will be informed.” I feel tears sliding down my cheeks. First day back and I have been kicked out of school until further notice. I won’t get into a decent college with this on my record.

“Please, if you just...”

“I made up my mind, please leave. “I stand and walk out the door, tears are sliding down my cheeks, the old lady sees me and comes to me, holding me, I cry into her shoulder.

“It will be okay?” I know it won’t. Summer wanted to punish me, she succeeded.

“What happened?” I turn to see Aidan there, I don’t know how many times I am going to put worry in those dark blue eyes.

“She expelled me, Summer, said I victimized her, bullied her. I don’t know what I am going to do.” Aidan grabs me and holds me, comforting me once again.

“I knew some shit went down, I phoned your dad, and he is on his way.” All I can do is nod.

“That Summer is a piece of work, I know she is a little attention seeker. Ms. Watkins acts like Summer’s poop don’t stink.” The old lady says, and I giggle into Aidan’s chest by hearing the word poop. Aidan keeps holding me, even though I stopped crying.

“Where’s my daughter?” I hear my dad call out. When he sees me, he holds me, he doesn’t think twice when he just saw Aidan holding me before. “What happened?” I filled him in what happened with Summer, what she said, what I did, and then me getting kicked out of school. “I knew you are a little firecracker, I would have smacked her face in as well. My daughter is not getting kicked out.” He straightens up and walks into the office without even knocking.

“Mr. Banks, what a pleasant surprise, how may I help you?” I walk in behind him with Aidan at my heel. Ms. Watkins looks at me with venom.

“I want to know why you suspended my daughter?” I see shock across her face, she didn’t know he was my dad? Isn’t this her job to know?

“I didn’t... I didn’t realize this was your daughter, her last name is Vermont, I didn’t realize.” She stammers over herself, she doesn’t seem the controlled, self-assured person anymore.

“My ex-wife changed her last name back to her maiden name, you should have known we are related as it is in her file. Unless you didn’t pay attention to that?” I feel like yelling go Dad, but I keep myself together.

“I must’ve miss-read that part. The reason for the expulsion is due to the fact that she victimized one of the students here, bullied her to the point she assaulted her,” she says a little smugly.

“Well, if you were doing your job right, you would know it was the other way round. Did you know my daughter was almost raped by one of your students last weekend?” I see horror across her face, she turns to me, but I turn away, I don’t want her pity. “Did you know that this student is the bully. She victimized Kacey at the party my daughter attended which is where the sexual assault nearly occurred. Then this morning, with plenty of witnesses, Summer goaded her by saying she lied to the police to keep the rapist you have in this school free.”

“She told my little girl she deserved to be raped. My daughter defended herself, Summer tried to attack her, all she did was defend herself. You kicked her out of this school with sickos strolling around and did not hear Kacey out? What will the school board think of this? The media? I am happy enough to tell them you are kicking out an almost rape victim from her education as the rapist still walks these halls. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?” My dad shouts and stops to catch his breath. Shit, my dad, is one scary man when he can be. Ms. Watkins looks lost for words.

“I, I, I...I didn’t realize. I am so sorry. I didn’t know any of this. Kacey is happy enough to stay in this school. I do apologize. I am so sorry for what you all are going through.” I almost feel sorry for the woman, but she rather listen to a stuck up bitch than a student who has never done anything wrong in her life.

“My funds have stopped going to this school, both my children are leaving at the end of the year. You will never get any more contributions from me if anyone asks why, I am not going to lie. Kacey, Aidan, go back to class.” I hug my dad and kiss him on the cheek.

“Thank you, Daddy.” I get a warm smile in return. Did I just call him Daddy?

“Again, Mr. Banks, I am so sorry, please let’s talk about this.”

“Like you let my daughter talk? This conversation is over.” I hear them both say as Aidan and I head to the cafeteria. I didn’t want to correct dad that it’s lunch time, I am just happy I am not getting kicked out, this won’t be on my records.

I sigh in relief.

“Your Dad is one scary Mofo.” I giggle, yeah he is. “I know where you get your fierceness from.”

We talk and giggle to the cafeteria, when we arrive people are whispering and looking at something at the end of the room, something in me tells me it’s not good. I push my way through everyone, I see Rebecca pushed against the wall with Ryder pinning her, I see tears coming down her face, Summer is by his side smirking at her. They both must have thought I would’ve been kicked out, but wrong. I quickly grab my phone out and record what is happening as I get closer and then quickly sent it to a few contacts, will explain to them later. You assholes are going to get my wrath. They don’t know I am there when I do I grab the nearest lunch tray and hit it against Ryder’s head, giving Rebecca a chance to run to me and Aidan.

“What the fuck?” Ryder roars and is in shock when he sees me and Aidan. “I thought you told me she would have been kicked out?” He looks at Summer, she is looking at me with surprise as well, I smirk at her.

“It’s nice to have a very rich Daddy huh?” I sneer at Ryder, I hate what he put me through, what he is doing to my best friend. He was punishing her to get to me. “You are one sick son of a bitch. You tried to RAPE me and then torment my friend. Good thing I recorded this little spectacle, going to be in my favor in court. You both teaming up, victimizing another girl.” I made sure I spoke up on the word victimized as that’s the word Summer used to try and kick me out of here. What would have happened to Rebecca if my dad didn’t show up? I hate to think. I see anger build in his eyes, I see the fear in Summer’s, she knows she is in deep shit.

Ryder tries to launch at me, but Aidan blocks him as he shields me. Ryder looks to him and me, then smirks. What the fuck is he smirking for?

“I think you are talking shit, there’s no video. I will walk away out of that courtroom, there’s no proof.” I think of all the books and films I have seen and read and an idea pops in my head. I grab the phone out of my pocket, but I make sure I don’t lose focus on Ryder. I press some buttons and hope I pressed the right one. 

“We are getting that girl from England to come back here, when there is two of us in court accusing you of rape, you will get what you deserve. Two of us can’t be lying, can we?” I see Ryder’s eyes widen with shock, yeah we know what you did, you sick fucker. He walks closer to us. I know I am lying, I don’t even know how to contact the girl even if I wanted to, but he doesn’t know that.

“Even if I did rape her, you wouldn't find her, my dad paid her off. Good luck with her coming to court in time. You know you wanted it, Kacey. The feel of you under me, too bad I didn’t finish where I started.” He quietly says so no one can hear him but us. He admitted raping that poor girl, he shows no remorse, no regret. How he is looking at me like he could fuck me here and now, sends shivers down my spine.

“Get the fuck away from her,” Aidan growls.

“Why, so you can fuck her? I know you only want her for the challenge. Too bad that she won’t touch you, look into her eyes, she is scared. Even if you do get close to her, she will always remember me, I am now stuck in her subconscious, I always will be.” Aidan is about to pounce on him, but I hold on to his arm, I don’t need him getting kicked out of school, I think Ryder is goading him to do something.

“He isn’t worth it, let’s go. We will see him in court.” I pull Aidan to me, I grab Rebecca’s hand, and I start to walk away. I got what I need.

“See you in court, I know I will be walking free,” Ryder shouts out. I don’t know what possessed me, but I quickly walk back, Ryder’s back is to me, laughing, not paying attention.

“Ryder?” He turns, I punch him with all the power I got, I feel the pain in my knuckles, but I don’t care. I see blood trickling down his nose. He deserved it.

“You little bitch.” I try to turn and run away, but he grabs my hair, pulling me to him. I shouldn’t have hit him, but his smug face thinking he will get away with what he did. I felt so angry, I snapped, but now he is going to hurt me, again. I feel the sting by my hair being pulled from the roots. “You didn’t learn the last time I hurt you, maybe you need reminding.” He spits in my ear. We are in a room full of people, but it’s like he doesn’t realize, doesn’t see them.

“Yo, man, get off her,” I hear one guy say. Ryder doesn’t listen but pulls my hair tighter, my head is pulled back and I feel his tongue lick up my neck. “I said get off her.” The guy tries to pull him away, but Ryder doesn’t let go and drags me with him. I scream by the pain.

“Kacey,” Aidan shouts, trying to get to me, but everyone is in his way, trying to tell Ryder to leave me be.

“Ryder, stop.” Summer yells but not once does he let go of my hair. My hair is going to get ripped out. I hear a commotion behind me, guys trying to peel Ryder off me, I feel a pain at the back of my legs, I topple to the floor. Finally, my hair is released, my neck aches from the position it was in. I turn to see some of Aidan’s friends are holding onto Ryder, they are looking at him like he is crazy.

He is crazy.

––––––––

Chapter 28

Aidan

It all happened too quickly, Kacey ran back and punched Ryder in the nose. I felt proud that she wasn’t scared of him, but when I saw his eyes change to pure hatred, I knew she made a mistake. She should have let me hit the fucker. I try to get to her, but people are surrounding them, watching with shock that they can’t pull their eyes away. I hear Rebecca scream when Ryder pulls Kacey’s hair back, hearing her whimper in pain. Not once did he let go, when my friends tried to pull him off, it was like watching a man possessed. His eyes were on me when he licked her neck, smirking at me. I started to push people away, not even apologizing. Why aren’t these fuckers moving?

When I am about to get to her, he kicks the back of her legs knocking her to the ground, finally releasing her hair. I walk up to Ryder and punch him, I am pretty sure I heard his nose crack. I punch him one more time in the stomach. The guys keep holding him, they know he went too far. You never harm a woman. I go to Kacey and see Rebecca holding her, I bend down hoping she is okay.

“You okay, baby?”

“Yeah, the punch was worth it.” I chuckle at her, she does get herself into bad situations but love how strong of a person she is. I help her stand, I see her flinch and touch her hair, I take a closer look but no real damage, think she should take some painkillers to ease it. I tell her so, which she nods at.

“How’s your legs?”

“They are a little sore, but thankfully he didn’t use all his strength.”

“I can’t believe you hit him. You amaze me, Kace.” Rebecca says using my nickname for her. We all walk out of the cafeteria. People are staring as we walk, but I don’t care. I hate that they just watched the chaos go on around them without bothering to do anything.

“Did you really record what happened?” I had to ask. I saw her with her phone out when running to Rebecca, but I thought she was getting help.

“Yeah I did and even better than that.” She pulls her phone out and presses a button. Even if I did rape her, you wouldn't find her, my dad paid her off. Good luck with her coming to court in time. We hear Ryder’s voice playing. She recorded him talking? My girl is a fucking genius. I spin her around, when I see her flinch, I put her down, apologizing.

Ryder was suspended for attacking Rebecca and Kacey, he explained that Kacey hit him first, but he couldn’t defend the reason why he went after Rebecca. Ms. Watkins hated the fact she didn’t know about the near-rape after she witnessed the commotion last year of Ryder being accused of rape, she knows it’s no coincidence. She rang his father saying he can’t return till after the court case. At least that’s a couple of weeks not having to see his smug little face. I know Kacey has a peace of mind that he won’t be walking the halls, being close to her.

That day we left school straight after the chaos, Rebecca joined us. She was excited knowing she was playing hooky, think we are a bad influence on her, I chuckle to myself. We watched movies and hung out, not long after Nick joined us, saying we aren’t doing hooky without him. It’s weird how my life has changed since I saw Kacey bent over the breakfast island. I was once a womanizer, a man whore, but it doesn’t do anything for me anymore. Guess I’m growing up. Well at this time I thought I was.

Explaining to Marc and Diana what happened at school didn’t go well. Think Marc is going to have a heart attack if he keeps going the way he is. He was horrified that Ryder once again assaulted Kacey, even though she threw the first punch and then hit him over the head with a lunch tray. In his eyes, he was proud that she stuck up for herself. You see she does nothing wrong in his eyes.

The next two weeks have flown by, Mrs. Peterson gave us some extra time to do our drama assignment due to the circumstances. Kacey already did the essay, I felt guilty knowing she did it when I didn’t show up for any of the classes. I know I was fucking girls when she was working hard on our project. But she doesn’t know that.

I put my all in the acting piece. Reading the scene Kacey has picked for us was emotional, I saw tears in Kacey’s eyes when she was reading her lines. This girl could act, but one line stood out to me that played over and over in my head.

“I... I love you. I think I’ve always loved you.” When I had to say my line that I loved her, I think I meant it. In just two months, Kacey bewitched me, breaking down my walls. We got an A on our project. Mrs. Peterson loved that we went down a unique route and chose a book, as others did scenes from movies or plays.

Kacey and Rebecca aren’t the outsiders anymore, I think because everyone sees me constantly around them both. They just have to see how I look at Kacey to know how special she is to me. They welcomed her with open arms, well something like that. The girl who took over Summer’s spot even tried to persuade her and of course Rebecca as they are a package deal to join their group, but Kacey gently declined. My girl likes to be different, be her own person. I keep calling her my girl, we haven’t talked about where we stand, but she knows she is mine, nothing will change that.

I hope.

It is the day of the court hearing, Kacey is a mess. The girl who is in front of the mirror brushing her hair isn’t the strong person I have seen overcome everything the last few weeks. Her hands are shaking, I know she is nervous that Ryder may walk free. She has pictured every bad scenario on what will happen if he does. I told myself I would never leave her side if he walks. I would never let her get in that situation again.

––––––––

Chapter 29

Kacey

I am a complete mess, I have never had to do anything like this. The only thing I know about courtrooms is what I’ve seen on TV or read in books. All that keeps running through my head is what if he gets away with it? I have another four months living here and having to see his face around school is going to kill me. Dad assures me he is going to get locked up, I hope he is right. I look into the mirror and tell myself I can do this.

I can do this.

“Ready?” I look up in the reflection and see his dark blue eyes full of concern. I have turned his life upside down, too. Until I showed up his life was normal, carefree. I feel guilty that maybe if I didn’t flirt with Ryder to piss of Aidan maybe we wouldn’t be standing here now. 

“Ready as I will ever be,” I say, trying to look more confident than I am.

“Ready kids?” Dad yells from the kitchen. We are all dressed in some kind of suit, Diana is looking at me with such sympathy, I need to look away. I hear my phone vibrate, I glance down to see my mom is calling.

“Hi, Mom.” I breathe down the line.

“Aw, sweetie, I hate that you have to go through this today, I’m not there to comfort you, hold your hand.” I hear her weep. I feel even guilty that I am putting her through this, I hate I am putting everyone through this.

“I know, Mom, but Dad has been strong for me, I have Aidan and Diana here, too. I know if you could be here you would.”

“I can’t believe work wouldn’t let me have time off for this, you need me. Please just phone me after, tell me that monster has been locked away for life.”

“I will, I love you.”

“I love you, too, sweetie.” I hang up looking at the phone in my hand. I know I’m seventeen, but right now I really do want my mom.

“Come on, let’s get this over with, so you can move on from this.” Aidan holds me in his arms, I nod into his chest.

Driving there went so quickly I don’t even remember most of the journey. I am looking up at the tall building, I feel my legs wobble. Why do I feel like I am here to be punished? I take a deep breath and walk inside, seeing immaculate white flooring and walls. There are so many doors, I think of all the rooms full of people who have done something wrong, the people who are just like me trying to do the right thing, trying to find closure. Making sure the punishable are punished. Dad’s lawyer is waiting at the end of a hallway, we all follow.

“Kacey, remember what we have talked about, just stay calm and when you are called up just tell your story. Everything will be okay.” He says I feel like screaming it’s not a story, this is my life. But I just nod.

“You are ready to enter.” A lady comes out, guiding us to the room. The room is bigger than what I thought it would be. There I see a jury, I see people waiting sitting down in their seats, I’m wondering who all these people are. I follow my lawyer to a desk and he points at a chair for me to sit, Dad sits next to me. Aidan and Diana are sitting behind me, I would do anything for Aidan to be sitting at my side. When I turn I see that he is thinking the same thing.

“You will be okay,” he mouths to me, I just nod and look up front. I hear doors opening behind me, I turn to see Ryder and a guy who must be his lawyer. I then see a much older version of Ryder, he looks at me with such disgust. I flinch by his angry eyes piercing me. They sit at the desk on the other side.

I can do this, I can do this. I tell myself over and over.

“All rise,” A man in a security outfit yells, we all stand, I see a man walk out who must be our judge. When we are told we can be seated, I am so relieved. My legs have gone limp.

The judge repeats on what the charges are, both Lawyers stand up saying who we are and why we are here. When I hear the word rape, it takes a lot for me not to pass out. I feel so light headed. Is it possible to have an out of body experience? I am called up to the stand after I repeat the Gods rights, I wait. My lawyer goes through the questions we have practiced.   Please don’t pass out.

I answer truthfully. The final question, I break down.

“Miss Vermont, after you tried to pull away from the kiss, what happened next?” I explain everything, I explain about me hitting him, then him hitting me in return. I explained he hit me again after he unbuttoned his jeans.

“When I was safe in the house, I broke down and laid there, feeling numb, shocked on what happened. I must have fallen asleep the next thing I knew, Aidan, was waking me up, then we called the police.” I cry after telling them when I felt I was finally safe.

“Thank you, Miss Vermont.” I nod. I know Ryder’s lawyer is up next. I know he isn’t going to be easy on me.

“You had flirted with my client for a good while before the date didn’t you?” I look at Aidan and see his anger build up, he knows I did it to piss him off, I just know he hates that I have to admit it.

“Yes, I did but...”

“It was you who asked him out, correct?”

“Yes, but...”

“You asked him to drive you home, yes?” Why doesn’t he let me finish?

“Yes, but...”

“You tried to throw yourself at him, but he turned you down. Your pride was wounded, so you did the only thing you could think of. Accuse my client of rape so you can have loads of attention, sympathy, didn’t you? You wanted to hurt my client for hurting your feelings. Didn’t you?”

“No, that’s not what happened.” I sob.

“No, further questions.” I am told to return to my seat, and I do. Dad holds my hand and passes me a tissue. I can see he is angry, but he knows he has to stay calm. I can’t even turn to see what Aidan is thinking. I am ashamed of myself that I was all over Ryder to hurt him, maybe I did deserve this.

Ryder is called up to the stand, his lawyer asks him questions about how we know each other, who asked who on the date, and what happened that night. Asking the same questions, he asked me. Like Summer said, they agreed to the story he went to see her. I hate how they are making me look like an easy, childish slut. When my lawyer goes up, he looks determined.

“Mr. Brynheart, you are saying that you didn’t drive, Miss Vermont, all the way home? That she made her own way back?”

“She must have. She stormed off after I told her I wasn’t interested, I went to see Summer, for obvious reasons.”

“What if I tell you I have five neighbors that claim they saw your car parked in Miss Vermonts driveway that night?”

“They must have been mistaken. I was with, Summer.” He doesn’t even flinch or stutter.

“What if I tell you that I have proof that you raped a girl last year and tried to do the same to my client...?”

“Objection,” Ryder’s lawyer yells out. “How is this relevant to this case?” The judge speaks to my lawyer asking where this is going.

“I have proof that Ryder raped a girl last year. The proof that he admitted it admitted his father has paid off the girl to keep things quiet, I have proof that he admitted he was going to rape my client also. I also have proof that he is an unstable young man that he victimized my client’s friend.”

“Please proceed,” the judge says.

“How come we are only hearing about this proof now? I want a recess to look further into this.” Ryder’s lawyer asks angrily.

“I will allow it due to the seriousness of this case, no recess will allow you to know such evidence anyway, please continue.”

“I have here a video of Mr. Bryheart and Miss Wright, victimizing the poor girl I mentioned. I have a recording of Mr. Bryheart, admitting to the rape last year and the almost rape with my client.” He presses play to the recording, you hear Ryder’s words come out.

Even if I did rape her, you wouldn't find her, my dad paid her off. Good luck with her coming to court in time. You know you wanted it, Kacey. The feel of you under me, too bad I didn’t finish where I started.

“As you see your honor, my client was telling the truth, I adjure full punishment to Mr. Bryheart.

“I can explain all that,” Ryder yells looking panicked.

“He made me lie to the police, he told me he never touched her,” Summer yells from her seat. I didn’t even see her. Well, I wasn’t really looking out for her.

“Order, order. I want silence in my courtroom. Due to the evidence, Mr. Bryheart you should be ashamed of what you put these poor girls through. Then after your bail you victimize yet another girl. As you are classified an adult now, I am sentencing you to three years, on just the charges of Miss Vermont. We will look further into the charges from the girl last year. Case dismissed.” I can’t believe it, he is getting punished, he is getting sent away.

“Dad, do something.” Ryder pleads as two security people walk him away.

“You did it. He is going away.” Dad hugs me, I feel tears slide down his cheek. I nod crying myself.   “Let’s get out of here.” I walk up the aisle, I feel Aidan quickly hold my hand and giving it a quick squeeze before letting go.

“Mom, he got three years, but could be more when they find the girl he assaulted last year,” I say over the phone, as soon as I got home I rang her.

“He deserves life, but least he has been put away. So proud of you, sweetie, for being so strong. I hate you have to go through all this, maybe I shouldn’t have accepted this offer.” She sighs down the phone.

“Mom, you accepted an amazing opportunity, none of us were expecting any of this.” I think about what my life would be like if Mom didn’t accept the offer. I would still dislike my father, him still being a stranger to me. I wouldn’t have met Aidan. I can’t imagine not knowing him now.

“I know, you’re my baby, I should’ve protected you.”

“Mom I will always be your baby, but none of us knew this would happen. Don’t punish yourself. I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

Chapter 30

Kacey

It’s been four weeks since the hearing, everything has gone back to normal. No one talks about Ryder, well around me anyway. I like to forget about that chapter in my life. I feel like I am a different person but yet still me. Viv has visited a couple of times, I think she comes to see Nick as well. They look at each other like they want to rip each other’s clothes off, but yet don’t do anything about it. When I tell Aidan my thoughts he told me about the long distance thing and that Nick has certain tastes when sleeping with women. I didn’t know what he meant by tastes, but I just nodded.

I have missed Aidan’s dirty mouth. He has been treating me like I am a fragile possession. He always keeps me close, but he never touches me, well intimately anyway, I am going stir crazy over it. I want the old Aidan back, well only the part he couldn’t keep his eyes and his hands off me.

I need his touch.

Every time I attempt to seduce him, he backs off. Has he moved on from me? Maybe he doesn’t see me like that anymore. Maybe I’m not desirable now. I don’t blame him, he has been my rock for the last couple of months or so. His feelings may be gone to that family zone.

I am sitting in English Literature talking to Rebecca when a new teacher comes in, she is small and plump, but her smile is warm. Rebecca and I look at each other wondering what is going on.

“Hello class, I am Ms. Melody. For the next couple of weeks, English Literature will now be a Health class. The school feels we need to prepare you for the outside world. I will be partnering you up, you will be a married couple. You will each have an envelope with your careers and details on living arrangements, children, etcetera.” Please let me have Aidan.

Ms. Melody starts partnering us off, I hear Rebecca is having a same sex partnership with a girl in class. I groan. Why couldn’t we be partners? The kick in the teeth is when Aidan is partnered up with Candy. The look on her face says she is thrilled about it. I am partnered up with Ryan, the guy I met on my first day here, he gives me a warm smile, and I give him a little wave. I think I heard a growl in the back of the room.

I am sitting next to Ryan as Ms. Melody hands out envelopes with our pretend future in it. When we are handed ours, I pray for a decent future. Ryan asks if I want to open it, I nod. I rip it open, reading over the information.

“Don’t keep me in suspense, what does our future hold?” Ryan asks.

“Well, you are a doctor who works sixty hours a week, I am a part-time kindergarten teacher. We have a little boy who is three. We own our own house, it’s a three bedroom home with a huge garden.” It sounds like a really good life.

“That’s great, we have a good life, thank God, was worried we’d have four kids. I only work part time trying to make ends meet as you are at home looking after the little ones,” Ryan says in a rush.

“Remember this is pretend,” I chuckle. “Look we have a good life even though you over work, which means you are hardly home. So I must be a full-time mother, too, looking after the home as well as our child.”

“Sorry about that, why don’t I buy you a pretty necklace to say thank you for all your hard work?” I laugh.

“Yeah make sure it’s from Tiffany’s.”

“Deal.” We laugh. I feel something hit my head, I turn and look at the floor to see a paper ball, I look up to see Aidan glaring at Ryan.

“Stop it.” I mouth to him. I see Candy start to run her breasts against his arm. I raise my eyebrows at him. Least mine was innocent. He turns and realizes what I am meaning, it’s like he didn’t know she was doing it. He pulls himself away from her. I shake my head at him before turning back around again.

“Okay, so we can work on how we met, how we got where we are in class. We better meet up after school a couple of days a week to write about our bills, our routine, etcetera.” Ryan says writing notes down.

“Sounds good.” The bell rings telling us to head to our next class, Ryan and I promise to make more decisions tomorrow.

“You two looked all cozy,” Aidan says whispering in my ear.

“You looked all cozy yourself, letting, Ms. Boobs, rub herself all over you.”

“At least you're not in a lesbian relationship, we have to write about how we cope with society et cetera, we are trying to adopt a child. Talk about pressure,” Rebecca groans.

“I wish I was your lesbian.”

“Me too, if you ever bat for the other team, I would leave my partner for you.”

“Awww, I feel so much love, let me think about it.” We burst out in laughter.

“Hello, we were discussing, Mr. Goody Goody, here all up in your face.” Aidan butts in.

“No, you were talking about something innocent as, Miss Spread her Legs, was all over you like she couldn’t wait for you to fuck her on the table.” I hear Rebecca gasp. “What?” I ask her.

“I hardly hear you cuss, think he is rubbing off on you,” she glares at Aidan, who smirks.

“I would like to rub something on her,” Aidan says, I poke him in the chest.

“You perv.”

“You make me that way.” I shake my head as Aidan parts ways.

Now he flirts with me.

––––––––

Aidan

I walk backward so I can watch Kacey’s ass sway as she walks to her next class. God, she is hot, I have a really bad case of blue balls. I haven’t touched a girl since the party at Nick’s. I have been waiting patiently for Kacey to feel like her old self, each day I see more of her sassy self. I don’t want to push her, but I am ready to touch her, feel her. We don’t have to have sex, but I want her lips on mine. I want to feel her wet pussy. I want her to touch my hard dick. Picturing her hand on me, even her mouth is making me fucking hard.

“Yo, man, ready for next weeks match?” I nod as I quickly get into my football uniform. We are playing against Cromwell next week, we have been practicing our butts off. This is the last game of our senior year, we have scouts coming out to watch. This game means a lot to all of us.

“Ready as ever, I think we are good as we will ever be, as long as everyone stays focused, we are going to kick ass.”

“Yeah, we are.” Our practice went smoothly and there were no mess ups. I don’t really need a scholarship as I have the money that’s needed to pay for my tuition, but being offered is a big deal. It shows that they think you are good enough to join their football team. It’s an honor. I have been playing football for years, it is in my blood. I have earned this.

I walk into the cafeteria and I see Ryan sitting closely to Kacey, already I am seeing red. Why does he have to sit that close? I walk across the cafeteria quickly and sit down opposite her. I see Rebecca to her side, listening to their conversation. Part of me wants to ask her to move so I am sitting next to Kacey. But I know that will look weird and it would be a dick move to ask her to move for no good reason. To me, it’s a good reason, but they won’t see it that way. Kacey gives me a warm smile when she sees me but gets back into the conversation with Ryan.

That’s all I get? Just a smile, not even a hello?

They are talking about their project and planning when to meet up after school. This is just a stupid project, why do they have to even meet up? I want to say something, but what? Don’t talk to her? Leave her alone? Get the fuck off my girl? Yeah, don’t think any of those would fly. I know Ryan would be like why is her stepbrother being so protective? I know Kacey and I haven’t talked where we stand so I know she wouldn’t like it if I blurt out that I want her to be my girl, fuck if it’s wrong or not. I hear her laugh with him, I clench my fists.

“Man, can I have a word?” I hear Nick behind me.

“Can’t it wait?” I growl.

“No, it can’t.”

“Fine.” I see Kacey look up, then back down at the work they are writing and discussing. “What is it?” I ask unimpressed he has taken me away.

“You need to ease up. You are looking at Ryan like you want to beat him to a pulp. You will push Kacey away if you act all domineering. She is doing nothing wrong and you are looking at them like they are fucking on the Goddamn table. You need to chill.”

“I hate how close he is to her. It’s pissing me the fuck off.”

“I get it, but it’s innocent, he isn’t touching her, it doesn’t even look like they are even flirting. They are doing work, Rebecca is sitting there, too, they wouldn’t do that in front of her even if they were doing anything. After the Ryder ordeal, she wouldn’t put herself in that situation again.” He is right. Why is my head jumping to all this negative shit?

“You’re right, man, I need to get a grip.”

“Hey, what are best mates for?”

My jealousy never wavered. He comes to our house twice a week to work on the project, and I want to punch his lights out. He touches her shoulder way too much for my liking. I always sit in the kitchen so I can hear their conversation. Call it creepy, I call it being protective. What if he tries something with her without her consent? I am being a good... a good what? Stepbrother? Hopeful lover? I don’t know what I am, but I am there in case she needs me. With the fact I am craving her body, it is adding to my frustrations.

One day Candy has come over to work on our project and that’s when I start to regret my next moves. We are sitting at the breakfast island, she is yammering on about our pretend bills, I am focusing on what Kacey and Ryan are talking about.

“Are you listening to me?” I snap back to Candy.

“Sorry was thinking of the game on Friday. What were you saying?”

“I get it, this is it for you, I know you are going to go all the way, I am going to be there cheering you on. You are going to be amazing as always.” She gets out of her seat and walks behind me and starts to rub my shoulders. I am about to tell her to do one when Kacey walks in, I see her stare at me and Candy, and a thought comes.

“That feels so good, yeah I am totally stressed, you always know how to relax me,” I purr.

“You know I am always here to service you, in any way you need.” She whispers in my ear, but I know it was loud enough for Kacey to hear. I hear a slam of a cupboard behind me, I grin enjoying knowing she is affected by this. Least she knows how I am feeling.

“Glad to know.” I groan when she massages harder on my shoulders. My muscles have been too tense lately. I hear a fridge slam shut I watch Kacey saunter out.

I smile with victory.

Every time in class we are working on our projects I am Mr. Charming to Candy, making her laugh, I know everyone is talking about us. Yes, I am acting like a seven-year-old, but I don’t care. This is frustrating watching the girl I want be all cozy with another guy.

Chapter 31

Kacey

I don’t know what has happened, but Aidan has gone back to his old ways, he is very distant with me, every time I do see him, he is all over that girl Candy. I thought we were moving forward with our relationship, but obviously not. Ryan has been a good friend, I really get along with him. He makes me laugh. He has gathered that I have feelings for my stepbrother, but he never once judged me. He told me you can’t help who you fall for, it’s not like we knew each other as kids. I have just under three months left till I have to go home, I want to know where Aidan and I stand.

I am sitting in my room with Ryan, he called me to speak to me. He sounded so weird and I was intrigued on what he has to say. I don’t have to worry about him hitting on me as he has never once showed any interest in me, in that way.

“So, what’s the big emergency?” I chuckle. I stop when I see the nervous look on his face. “Oh my God what is it?”

“You have to swear not to tell a soul. I really need someone to talk to, I know because you have shared the whole, Aidan, thing with me, I know I can trust you,” he says without taking a breath.

“Spill, I’m on pins and needles here.”

“I 'm gay.” He mumbles, a word.

“What?”

“I’m gay.” He says a little louder. Wow, I wasn’t expecting that. I look at him with new eyes. He is attractive in that pretty boy way. As he is so nice and never once flirted. Now he tells me, why now? Why me? I look at him with wide eyes. What do I say?

“Oh my God, I would never have guessed.”

“Yeah, no one has. I have known myself for a good while, but I am scared about how others are going to take it, especially my parents. They will freak when they learn I like guys.” He growls with frustration.

“Why tell me? I get why, I mean why say something to me now?”

“Well I have met this guy at this club, I need you to come with, you know keep me company. I don’t want to go on my own and look pathetic. Please, I will owe you.” he gives me the puppy eyes making me laugh.

“Fine, but I want to bring, Rebecca. If you and this guy decide to hook up, no way I want to be on my own.” Especially in a club with loads of strangers.

“Deal, but please swear you won’t tell a soul. I will come out when I’m ready, but I’m not there yet.”

“I swear, I won’t say a peep.” Ryan stays and hangs out for a good hour then decided to head home. It was nice to chill out without talking about school work. I am reading on my Kindle when my phone rings, I glance at the name to see Mom is calling. Wow, I feel popular today.

“Hey, Mom. What’s up? How’s work?”

“Hi, sweetie. I have some news.” I sit up, interested in what she has to say. “I was talking to a manager at the store that is opening up about how my boss wouldn’t let me have time off work to see you after your horrible ordeal. Don’t worry I didn’t get into details but I did say you had to go to court. The guy knew it was bad, when I was explaining I couldn’t go to it, he was furious and made some calls. Anywho, the top dog who owns the franchise was mortified. He is giving me compensation and a permanent job back at home with the same title I have now, but I won’t have to travel anymore. He has paid me for the whole six months, even though they are sending me back in a couple of weeks.” Wait, what?

“Hold on, Mom, so you got money for how they treated you, they are paying you for the job of six months even though you will have done four. You are heading back home in a couple of weeks?” I can’t get my head around this.

“Yes, they are afraid this could go to the media or something and look bad on their behalf, even though I wouldn’t go to the media. I wouldn’t want what happened to you spread all over the place. But yeah I will be heading home. I didn’t want to get your hopes up until I looked into it, but your school back at home will allow you to do your finals there. You can be with your friends for the last couple of months before school ends. How great is that?” I definitely can’t get my head around it. I can go back? I can be in my bed, with my friends?   Away from here?

I think of Dad, Diana, Aidan, Rebecca, even Ryan. Can I leave them? My life here has started to go back to normal. I miss Mom, I miss seeing Viv every day, but can I go back?

“I thought you would be thrilled? You can get away from the place that has brought you nothing but grief.”

“I know, it’s just a lot to take in. Is it ok if I have a think about it? I have made myself comfortable here and to be interrupted again. I made friends, I just need to think about it. That okay?”

“Sure, sweetie. I understand. Let me know by the end of next week. I miss you, I love you always.”

“Love you, too, Mom,” I say my goodbyes and hang up, I look at the phone like it might give me the answers I need.

Can I go back, leave all this behind? Dad and I have gotten close, I will have to say goodbye. I will always visit, though. It’s Aidan though, am I willing to leave him behind, us behind? We wouldn’t work anyway. No matter what I would definitely be leaving in two months. I will be heading to my choice of college and Aidan will go where with ever football team snatches him up. Maybe it’s for the best he has put distance between us. I have just over a week to make my mind up. But I’m not telling a soul unless I decide to go.

Aidan only comes near me when driving to and from school. I don’t get why he has put a wall between us. Did I do something wrong? I hate how the old Aidan has taken up residence in his head. He was my rock, my safety net. Did I just use him to protect myself and he saw right through it? I know I never used him. The reason I know is the way we got closer, how I craved his touch. I have been tempted so many times to throw caution to the wind and slam my mouth on his. Letting my body say what my mouth can’t. But I’m not brave enough. What if he rejects me? I couldn’t take that kind of pain, not from him.

“Everything okay?” I ask on the way to school.

“Uh huh.” That’s all I get? I feel kind of pissed off. I am trying, I am always trying and he gives me nothing.

Well fine screw him.

Rebecca has agreed to come with Ryan and I to the club Ryan wants us to go to. We are getting ready in my room. Rebecca had never been to a club before so I told her I would clubify her. I made her wear a white dress that ties around her neck showing her back. The material hugs her nicely, I paired it off with some white heels. Very virginal I thought.

I decided on a dark blue strappy dress. It clings to my body, hits just mid-thigh. The middle of the dress is like a blue see through material so you can see my midriff. I feel sexy in this dress. I wear my black ankle boots. I put Rebecca’s hair in a high ponytail leaving a few tendrils around her face. I give myself a messy wavy look. I have to admit we look hot. I do our make up giving us both a smoky eye look but with different colors. I look at Rebecca and even though she looks uncomfortable she is stunning. She is definitely going to get noticed tonight.

I hate that Aidan and I aren’t anything anymore. We never were, but we were always something. I am not after another bloke, I just want to go out and dance. I get a text from Ryan saying he is outside. I grab Rebecca’s hand and guide her downstairs. I don’t want her to change her mind on the outfit, she is hot. Aidan is laying on the couch, all sprawled out topless. I almost fall over the last step. His hard muscles are calling out to me, to touch them, to lick them. I want to straddle him and demand him to touch me. I need to shake my head knowing I can’t have these thoughts about him. I need to try and move on. He turns his head when he hears us and when his eyes fall on me I stop in my tracks.

His eyes are roaming my body, I feel my body heat up. It’s been to long since he has looked at me like this. He looks at my legs then at my pushed up cleavage. When his eyes finally meet mine, they are full of want.

Yes, please want me.

Then his eyes turn angry. No, look at me like you just did, I scream in my head.

“Where you guys going?” He clips out.

“We are going to a club with Ryan.” I shrug trying to act indifferent.

“Ryan?” He spits out the name like it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. What is his problem?

“Yes, will see you later.” I am about to reach the door when Aidan runs to me like the speed of light and starts leading me to the kitchen.

“I need a word.” He says I look at Rebecca telling her I will be a minute. “I don’t think you should be wearing that. It hardly covers your ass.”

“Well first it’s not up to you what I wear, you’re not my father. And secondly you are not in charge of me.” Something passes his eyes but not sure what.

“I don’t want YOU going out like that,” he pushes my body against the wall, pinning me against it with both his hands near my head. My breathing is coming in so heavy. He is so worked up over an outfit. He looks back down my body, I watch his eyes hood over. He leans his body closer to mine, I feel his erection pressed against my thigh. God how I have missed this.

“I don’t care what you want,” I breathe out. He releases one hand, touching my neck and slowly slides it down my cleavage. My eyes are closed, I craved his touch for so long. He slides his finger down my stomach and leans down touching my thigh. He guides his fingers over my flesh, he is so close to my soaked thong. He growls when he feels how wet they are. He pushes the material aside and touches my wet folds. I almost topple to the floor, but he keeps me still with his leg. He strokes over my folds, spreading the wetness. When he touches my clit, I whimper.

“You are so wet for me. I can smell how turned on you are. Are you imagining my dick inside you? My mouth sucking on your hard little clit?” I can’t respond, his words are enough to almost bring me over the edge. He adds another finger, entering me when he pulls out, I move my pelvis closer to him, my body demanding more. “If you decide to change, I will let you come,” it feels like a bucket of cold water fell on me. He is using my body to get what he wants? He hasn’t touched me, hardly looks at me, when he does it’s to do what he asks? Well, screw that. I push him with all my might. He looks confused.

“I will wear what I want, you don’t ever touch my body again.” My breathing is still coming in fast, my clit is aching for him to finish what he has started. Part of my body is aching to do what he wants just so I get a release. I haven’t touched myself in weeks, I think I will tonight when I get home just so he doesn’t have such power over me.

“Kacey...”

“I am leaving. Goodbye, Aidan.” I interrupt him. I don’t want to hear what he has to say. I am too pissed off. I am not his submissive. I have read enough to know about that stuff. They only let you have pleasure, only let you come when they say, well I don’t play like that. I walk out of the kitchen, grabbing onto Rebecca and dragging her towards Ryan’s car, without a backward glance.

“Whoa, what’s got your panties in a twist?” I hate that my thong is drenched, but I don’t care. I need to get away.

“Aidan, who else? He tried to get me to change my outfit, well screw him. I think I look amazing.”

“He didn’t say that?” Rebecca looks in shock. I think I was even turned on more knowing she was in the next room, she could easily hear what we were doing, and I feel guilty for it. I am not like that. Aidan surely does bring out the bad side in me.

“He is probably jealous of all the guys that are going to be ogling you,” Ryan says, driving out the driveway to town.

“He has barely acknowledged me when he does he demands something of me, not ask, demands.”

“Hope he isn’t one of those guys, if I don’t want her, no one else can have her.”

“He probably is. I am not interested in any guys. I just want to have fun with my friends and shake my booty.”

“That is what we are going to do.”

––––––––

Aidan

I can still smell her on my fingers, she was so close to coming. I should have realized that me telling her what to do would make her back off. She is so fucking stubborn, I know this, but I hate that she is going to be wearing that, allowing Ryan’s beady little eyes devour her. I am still standing in the kitchen with a raging hard on. I hate that they are probably going to be dancing closely, probably grinding against one another and it pisses me the fuck right off. She looked so fucking hot and I had to touch her. I have been so full of anger on how close Ryan and her are getting lately. She hardly notices me. Has she finally moved on? I know she hasn’t, her body was a dead giveaway on how much she still wanted me.

I need to know what club they are at, it’s most likely to be at Jetts. I need to call Nick and drag his ass with me. He is probably fucking someone right now, but I don’t care. I know he will drop anything especially a good fuck if I need anything. I quickly need to get rid of this erection first. I go to the bathroom and when I put my hands on my hard dick, I shake. I haven’t been inside a girl in so long, I live on my own hand jobs. The only girl I want touching me is Kace. I picture her in her dress, her head thrown back in ecstasy. I remember how wet she was. I rub quickly, I come screaming out her name.

I am waiting in my car, waiting for Nick to show up his slow ass. I was right, he was entertaining some girl, but knew he would come. No pun intended. I don’t want to think of my best friend like that. I shiver at the thought. When I see his car park next to me, I get out and walk around.

“You are starting to get stalker tendencies, just thought you should know.”

“I want to make sure she stays safe, I don’t trust, Ryan.” I grit out.

“You should trust Kacey. Anyway, she isn’t your girlfriend. You have been more over Candy, than anyone else. What did you expect from her? To watch you get more distant with her because you can’t hold onto your jealousy issues? Let her watch you be all over another girl?” I give Nick a look to tell him to shut up.

“I don’t need you to psychoanalyze me. I need you to have my back.”

“Fine, whatever you say.” I feel even more pissed off now, but I don’t know with who, Ryan? Kacey? Nick? Maybe even myself?

I walk in with Nick at my side, we stay in the back of the club, I don’t want Kacey to know I have followed her. I will have no explanation why I am here, but to say I am here to party, it’s just a coincidence we are at the same club? I lean against the wall and look around, I see Kacey dancing with Ryan and Rebecca on the dance floor, at least Ryan isn’t touching her, well yet anyway.

“Damn, Kacey is looking pretty fine, no wonder you got a screw loose. She looks amazing. With her looking so carefree adds to the attractiveness.” Nick says I want to scream at him to keep his eyes off her. But I notice other guys looking at her, eyeing up and down her body. I am going to be thrown in jail tonight. I just know it. 

Chapter 32

Kacey

Ryan introduced us to the guy he is kind of having a thing with, he is cute. He has dirty blond hair, green eyes, and a sweet smile. I can see the attraction. He works behind the bar at the club and he looks smitten with Ryan by how he can’t keep his eyes off him. I hope it works out for them. We have been dancing for most of the night, Rebecca has even loosened up. Some guys try and dance with me, but I decline each one. I even say that Ryan is my boyfriend just to keep them away. I only had two drinks, I don’t want to get intoxicated tonight.

Ryan kept wondering back to the bar any chance he got. Rebecca and I never leave the dance floor, if one of us needs the bathroom we always go together. I may be a bit paranoid but have you ever had that feeling when you think someone is watching you? I keep getting that at times. I am shaking my ‘groove thang’ when Rebecca decides she wants a breather so she sits at the table near the dance floor. I am only a few feet away so that we can both still see each other.

“I have an official date for next week,” Ryan says proudly. I scream, wrapping my arms around his neck jumping up and down screaming. I am so happy for him.

“Yay, you have to make sure you tell us every dirty detail.”

“You know I will tell you the dirty version,” he winks at me. Avril Lavigne ‘Girlfriend’ comes on, I start shaking my booty, and when it comes to the girlfriend bit, I point at Ryan. I am so happy and in such a good place, I dance to every song. Some songs I even pretend to dirty dance with Ryan, I wink at the bartender who Ryan has his eye on. He laughs at us.

“You can really shake that ass.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” I giggle and I do a little thing called the ‘slut drop’ when you move your body lower then bend, sticking your ass in the air. I hear Rebecca laughing, Ryan slaps my ass. I burst out in hysterics.

“Now I’ve seen everything.”

“I can twerk,” Rebecca says jumping up and down dying to show us and she starts twerking to the song, and oh my God the girl can shake that ass.

“I have two gorgeous girls, who are shaking their asses in my face and I’m gay. There is a funny joke there somewhere.” We all burst out laughing.

After midnight, we decide to call it a night. We are pooped and dying for something to eat.

Ryan quickly says goodbye to his soon to be lover. I really need to know what that guy’s name is. I know Ryan told me, but it has slipped my mind. Ryan drives us to a McDonalds drive through. I order a Big Mac meal. I swear it’s gone in seconds. After we have all eaten, Ryan drives us home. We are talking non-stop about tonight, I can’t stop smiling. How can I leave these people yet? I can stay for another couple of months. 

We drop Rebecca off first, and I wish I asked her if she wanted to sleep over at mine tonight. Ryan and I talk about Sam, the bartender guy, and how amazing he is, how cute he is. Ryan is just like one of the girls. Ryan hugs me and thanks me for coming with him tonight, he is thanking me over and over for not telling anyone about his secret. I brush it off telling him that’s what friends are for.

I climb out of the car and see no lights are on in the house. I open the front door, turning on the light seeing no one is here. I wave at Ryan, who waited until I was inside safe. I lock the door. I hate that the house is so quiet. I go to the kitchen and take a bottle of water to bed with me. I am walking up the stairs when I hear a noise, I stop in my tracks. I listen, I hear it again, but can’t hear what the noise is. Should I call the police? Ask who’s there?

Yell tell the killers that you are home, my head yells at me.

I hear the noise again and it seems to be coming from Aidan’s room, I walk as quietly as I can. I am at his door when I hear the sounds that fully break my heart, shattering it into dust. I’m hearing a woman moaning in pleasure. I hear what sounds like the bed squeaking. I feel the tears slide down my face. He is sleeping with someone in there. He has moved on. I can’t breathe, I feel like I am about to pass out. I feel such a deep ache in my chest. I walk away and enter my room. I lock the door and push the desk to it, I still don’t know if Aidan can pick the lock to get in here. I definitely don’t want to see him. I step out of the dress, I rip the underwear off me and chuck it in the trash.

I put on my most comfortable pyjamas and lay in bed. Luckily I can’t hear anything. I lay there staring at the ceiling, then I remember about us in the kitchen, him touching me, I feel like I want to throw up. Then I cry my eyes out, I sob for almost fallen for the womanizer who is my stepbrother. I tried to hold onto some kind of hope, and for what? He hurt me the worst way possible. This is the worst he has ever done towards me. I don’t think I can ever forgive him. He is my ass of a stepbrother, I want to get away from him as soon as possible. That night I fall into a restless sleep.

––––––––

Aidan

Fuck this shit, I am not watching this shit anymore. I was in heaven when I saw her tell every guy to do one when they approached her, but I heard a guy walking past me telling his friend that dickhead was her boyfriend. They are officially together now? Did it happen tonight? I don’t care, she should have told me. She should have given me some sort of indication. She has but I have been that much of a dick I never let her close to me, to talk to me. This is all my fault. I could have had her, yet I pushed her away, pushed her to the arms of another man. I watch her laugh and scream, wrapping her arms around him, I don’t need to see any more.

She was craving me in the kitchen, was it just a mistake?

“Hey, man, you need to let Kacey explain before you do anything rash.” Nick pleads with me.

“Explain what? That she has moved on? I lost the girl that has been fucking with my head for the last four months. I could have handled my jealousy better, talked to her, but no I was a dick and was all over another girl to punish her. It’s like you said, what did I expect her to do? Watch and still be there when I was ready for her? I lost, right now I am getting fucking drunk.” I go to the bar and order four of their strongest shots. The bartender is a nice blonde, she eyes me up and down when she passes my drinks.

What’s with all the staff being blondes? I drink one after another. I see her staring at my lips, I smirk at her. I feel the shots already settling in my system.

“Listen, let’s just go,” Nick tries to pull on my arm, but I shrug him off.

“You can go, I am staying here a little longer.” I wink at the bartender.

“Fine this is your funeral,” I hear Nick say in frustration. I should have gone with him, but I am a glutton for punishment.

“Your friend is a buzz kill,” the blonde bartender passes me four more shots and downs two. “On me.” I nod and down my shots.

“What’s your name beautiful?” I feel my muscles loosen, I feel all warm and tingly. She leans on the bar showing me her perfect breasts. I lick my lips in appreciation.

“Does it matter?” I shake my head. She passes me another two shots as she does two herself, I feel my head start to cloud over. “I finished my shift, fancy showing a girl a good time?” I see her climb over the bar and stand in front of me. I have to blink a couple of times. I know this is a bad idea. My head is screaming at me to walk away, but the voice is so quiet I can hardly hear it.

“Let’s go to mine.” She nods, smiling at me. We walk outside and a cab is at the door. The blonde tells me that work always rings one for the staff. We climb in, as soon as the door is closed she is on me, licking my lips, then I feel her tongue against mine. I groan with the contact.

She straddles my lap, grinding herself against me not caring that the driver can see everything that is happening in his back seat. I feel even more turned on. I quickly pay the driver and he winks at me, but I don’t acknowledge him. I grab her hand and we stumble over each other in the dark trying to get to my room. I slam the front door closed and push the girl against the wall, biting, licking her neck, hearing her moan makes my dick jump. She wraps her legs around my waist and I climb the stairs with such difficulty as she keeps grinding harder and harder, breathing heavily in my ear.

I kick open my door and shut it with my foot. I push her on the bed and I quickly undo my jeans, kicking off my shoes and pulling my jeans down, I pull my T-shirt over my head. I watch her frantically take off her shorts and T-shirt, she lays there in just her red bra and thong. She is stunning. I pull my boxers off releasing my hard dick. I see her eyes go wide with the size, yes I have missed fresh eyes looking at me. I smirk at her. I climb on the bed, I lick her thigh, letting my tongue reach her thong. I lick over the material, I quickly slide it down her legs, her back arching towards my face to take her.

I lick her very slowly, teasing her, tasting her. I suck on her clit, making her moan loudly. I suck harder and harder. I feel her legs tremble. I insert a finger as I keep sucking then adding another. I do a little come here movement reaching her G-spot, then she screams coming on my tongue.

“Fuck, fuck me. That was out of this world,” she breathes out.

“I’m going to fuck you, and you will scream for more.” I am about to enter her when she tells me about protection. Fuck I never forget about protection, I always make sure I use one. I am that drunk I almost entered her without wearing anything. Good thing she is aware. I quickly open my drawer and put one on. I enter her with one quick thrust.

I fuck her like I promised. I go hard and fast. I angle her so her back is off the bed, I am kneeling so I can enter more fully. I feel her tremble again. I hear her scream out her release, but I’m not even close. I keep going, fucking her harder, I hear her telling me she can’t take anymore, but yet she arches herself more into me. After a few more thrusts, I growl out my release.

I am still inside her, I am waiting for my breathing to calm down a little. I pull out and take off the condom, tying it up and throwing it in the trash. I am laying there feeling so content. My head is still buzzing. I hear the girl’s deep breathing, I turn to see she has fallen asleep, not long after, I drift off.

I wake up with the mother of all headaches, my mouth is all dry. I sit up and groan when I feel the room is spinning around me. I have to close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. I need a glass of water and some painkillers, like now. I freeze though when I feel the bed move.

“Some pure orange juice and dry toast will help.” I turn to see a blonde splayed out on my bed, her hair all dishelved, she is naked. What the fuck?

All the memories of last night all come flooding back. Fuck, I had sex in my house, with Kacey down the hall.

Shit.

Why do I feel like I cheated on her? “I had a blast last night, I’m leaving my number on the table, call if you ever want another repeat,” The girl says, standing getting her clothes back on. She doesn’t care that she is standing naked in front of me. She has that confidence about her. Another time I would take her up on her offer, but not now. I feel like I am totally screwed. 

You are screwed, my head yells at me with disgust.

I remember one of the guys at the club saying she has a boyfriend now. Why should I feel guilty, she has moved on so why can’t I? Even though I tell myself that, I still feel guilty. I only want one girl and that’s my stepsister. I could have fought for her, proved to her that I am the one she is meant to be with. I know I have fucked it up.

Maybe I haven’t.

If I can get the girl out quietly before anyone notices I can keep it to myself, no one will have to know. I feel like pure shit for even thinking it, but I can’t lose Kacey for good.

I tell the girl I have to sneak her out without waking my parents and she doesn’t complain. I open my door and poke my head out trying to see if I can hear anyone. I think everyone is still in bed, good. I wave the girl to follow me, we tiptoe across the hall. I freeze when I hear the toilet flush and the bathroom door opens. Please don’t be Kacey, please don’t be Kacey. I see her looking at the floor not noticing we are in front of her, when she lifts her head up, staring into my eyes, I see that she has been crying. Her eyes are all puffy and red. My heart aches seeing her like this. Did Ryan do something? I will kill the fucker if he hurt her in any way.

She looks saddened when she stares at me, then she looks behind me. I realize the girl from last night is standing there. I see a tear roll down Kacey’s eyes.

She knows.

She knows we had sex. I can see it all over her face. How did she know? She looks back at me, I see a wall building up behind those beautiful eyes. Ryan didn’t hurt her, I did.

“This is awkward. I’m Tiffany.” The girl giggles giving Kacey a small wave, not noticing that she is upset.

“Hi, I’m Kacey. Aidan’s stepsister.” She puts more emphasis on stepsister, it hits me like a punch in the stomach.

“Sorry about sneaking out like this, we didn’t want to disturb your parents.” I feel like hitting the girl, please stop talking.

“I get it, but good thing they aren’t home. They aren’t back till later this morning. If they were here, you should remember to keep the noise down.” What does she mean by noise?

“Oh my God, you heard us last night. I am so sorry, that’s so embarrassing, hearing your brother have sex. We just couldn’t keep our hands off each other,” the girl giggles and I see Kacey flinch with the words. “Well I better go, never know, might see you again.” She winks at me then walks downstairs out the door, not caring I didn’t follow. My eyes are still on Kacey.

“Kacey...” I plead. She puts her hands up to stop me.

“None of my business. I’m going to my room.”

“Please, if you let me explain.” I see her eyes turn to anger.

“What? You want to fill me in on how you fucked her last night? I don’t need the details, I heard enough.” She walks past me to her room, locking the door. I stand there, not moving.

I royally fucked up.

Chapter 33

Kacey

“Hi, Mom.” I ring her as soon as I enter back in my room. I gave it a lot of thought, I can’t stay in the same house as him anymore. When I look at him, I remember how he screwed that girl. She was so pretty with her long blonde hair, perfect figure. How can I compete with that? I noticed the signs and yet I ignored them. He grew distant, never speaking. I am such an idiot.

“Hi, sweetie, this is a pleasant surprise. Everything okay?”

“I decided to come back home to do my finals. I want to leave as soon as possible.”

“Everything okay? Has something happened? Did someone hurt you?” Mom asks question after question in anger.

“I am hurt, but it’s more emotionally. I met a guy here I thought he liked me, but it looks like I was wrong. I found him with another girl, I just want to go home. I need my own bed, my friends. I want you to hold me and tell me everything will be okay,” I cry to her.

“Awww, sweetie. The guy is an idiot to not have chosen you. Can you handle five more days there? Have you spoke to your father yet?”

“I can handle five days, as long as I know I am coming back home. I will speak to Dad when he comes back home.”

“Okay, I will talk to your school in the morning. Let your Dad speak to the school there. I missed you so much, I am glad you are coming back, I hate everything you have been through in the last few months.” We talk a little longer then we say our goodbyes. I am not looking forward to telling Dad I am planning to leave two months sooner, but I’m sure he will understand. I need to tell him not to say anything to Aidan. I don’t want him to know.

Aidan isn’t home when I decide to come out of my room to search for something to eat which I am happy for. I walk downstairs and I see Dad sitting at the breakfast island reading some sheets of paper, probably something to do with work.

“Hi, Dad. Where’s Diana?” I sit opposite him.

“She went to the store to get some stuff in for dinner. Everything alright?” He looks up and notices my eyes. Yeah, it’s going to take a few hours before my eyes have calmed down from the all night crying session. “What’s wrong?”

“You know I have loved being here, spending time with you...” I pause and I see him nod, waiting for me to continue, I feel the tears slide down my cheeks on how much I am going to miss him. “Well, Mom is heading back home early, I have decided to head back early, too.”

“What? Why? You still have a couple of months here, you have school to finish.” Dad says frantically.

“Mom has talked to my school back at home they are happy for me to do my finals there. I need to go back, Dad, just please know it has nothing to do with you, but it’s something I need to do.” I beg to him, hoping he will understand I need to do this.

“Is this to do with a boy?” I look at him, not sure what to say. But he deserves the truth, I owe him that much.

“It has. I met a guy, I thought he felt the same way I felt for him, but he doesn’t. I saw him with another girl. I can’t be here to watch him be all over someone else. I need my home, my bed, I need to get away to get my head sorted.” Dad stands and comes around holding me like it could be his last.

“Please know this is also your home, too, anytime you want to come here, you are always welcome. The boy is an idiot not to want to be with you. He will soon realize that.”

“Mom, called him an idiot, too,” I giggle.

“She is right, how long till you go?”

“Five days.”

“Five days?” He says in shock.

“Yeah, Mom is speaking to the school back at home tomorrow morning, can you talk to the school here, please?”

“Yeah, anything to wind up that bitch of a principal.” I gasp in shock.

“Parents can cuss, too, you know.” We laugh together. Yeah, I know Dad will go all guns blazing to make sure everything goes his way.

“One more thing?”

“Anything.”

“Don’t tell Aidan I will tell him when I’m ready. Please tell Diana the same.” I lie.

“Of course. I know you too got close after the Ryder situation. We won’t say a word to him.”

I called Ryan that night to ask if he could give me a ride to school, and if we can pick up Rebecca on the way. I need to tell them together. I just say I have some news we need to discuss, Ryan never questions it saying he will see me in the morning. I phone Rebecca telling her Ryan is picking us both up for school and for her not to go without us.

I talked to Mom telling her Dad is phoning the school in the morning too so it’s an all go. I am heading back home at the end of the week. Before all my energy drains, I ring Viv. I know she will be thrilled when I tell her I am heading back. After a few rings she answers.

“Hey, my sex Goddess, what’s up?” She sings down the line. God, I can’t wait to see her.

“I have some news.”

“Oh my God you’re pregnant? I told you always no glove no love.” She screeches at me.

“Calm down, I am not pregnant. I am coming back home at the end of the week.” I have to pull the phone away from my ear as I hear her scream with joy.

“Please tell me you’re not shitting me. This is fucking fantastic. We get to enjoy the end of senior year together. What has Aidan said about all this?” I flinch hearing his name. What do I say? Should I just tell her? “Spill it, I know when you go quiet you have something important to say.”

“I heard him have sex with another girl last night.” I hear her gasp.

“You got to be fucking kidding me? He couldn’t take his eyes off you when I last saw you. Are you sure?”

“Yeah I heard all the moans. Then this morning I saw her, both of them sneaking out.” I feel the tears prickle my eyes. I will myself not to cry. I cried enough tears over him.

“I warned that fucker if he hurt you I was going to chop off his dick. Is this why you’re coming home early? How are you coming home early if your Mom is working globally?” I explain to her what Mom told me. How they are disgusted they wouldn’t give her time off to see me when I needed her, and that they are afraid she will go to the media or something. “Well that’s good timing then, least you don’t have to see that dick again after this week. I can’t wait to see you. We are going to pig out on ice cream and chocolate and watch movies till we pass out.”

“Sounds good. I can’t wait to be home.”

“Home can’t wait for you to be back.” We talk about the guys she has dated and disappointed her, it helped not thinking about Aidan, even if it was for twenty minutes.

I got ready in my normal routine, I am sitting at the breakfast island, Dad and Diana are talking, while Aidan and I keep silent. I can’t even look at him. I push the food on my plate around, not really feeling hungry. I get a text saying Ryan is five minutes away.

“That’s Ryan he is giving me a ride today, I will see you when I get home,” I say to my dad giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“You’re getting a lift from Ryan?” Aidan says with a hint of anger. He has no right to be pissed off with me the dick.

“Yes,” I clip out and head to the door. I jog to Ryan’s car when I see him pull up.

“The devil after you?” You have no idea.

“Something like that.” I look out the window and watch us drive away.

“So what’s the urgent news I can’t wait to hear?” Ryan says smiling at me, I give him a little smile back. Don’t think he will be smiling after he hears what I am going to say.

“I will tell you when we get Rebecca, I don’t want to repeat it.”

“No probs really intrigued, though, but I can wait.” We pull up to Rebecca’s house and she is standing on the curb waiting. She jumps in the back and we are once again off. “Now spill, girl, I’m dying here.”

“Okay, there is no easy way to say this, I am moving back home,” I say in one go.

“What you are leaving? When?” Rebecca says, already looking upset.

“I go Friday, after school.”

“What? That soon? Why?” I hate that I have to tell them why, I should be stronger than this, but I’m not. My heart needs to heal. I let Aidan in, and he shattered me.

“I caught Aidan sleeping with another girl. After I had gotten home from our night out, I heard them, then in the morning I saw the girl with my own eyes. I know it’s weird because I am leaving because of it, but I have to.”

“You have fallen for him, haven’t you?” Rebecca asks quietly. I nod.

“I know it’s wrong.  I know I shouldn’t have. He is my stepbrother, but he broke through my walls. He was so nice and kind, looking after me, after the Ryder ordeal, but he grew distant, I now know why. He went back to his old ways. He probably wanted to make sure I got my head straight, then decided I was strong enough to move on. I don’t know. All this is screwed up.”

“I hate that you are leaving, but I get it. I wouldn’t want to live in the same house, watching him with girl after girl. I could kill that prick.” Ryan spits out.

“This sucks bottom holes,” Ryan and I burst out laughing.

“Bottom holes?” I repeat trying to get my breathing under control.

“What? I don’t like to cuss,” she giggles with us.

“I’m going to miss you guys.”

“We are going to miss you.”

I ignored Aidan, pretended I never noticed him, but in English Literature, it was hard to. I kept hearing Candy talk all dirty to him, I feel like jamming pens in my ears so I don’t have to listen to it. Ryan kept looking at me with sympathy, he tried everything he could to make me laugh.

“So my beautiful wife, let’s try for another baby. I have loads to give you know if you know what I mean?” He waggles his eyebrows. I burst out laughing. “We probably should try doing it from behind.” That’s it, I am in stitches.

“So you can picture me as a guy?” I whisper.

“Me, the doting doctor and husband, never.” He pretends to look hurt.

“I believe ya.” Ryan and I stay behind after class wanting to talk to Mrs. Melody. I explained about me leaving, and that we are basically ahead with the assignment. If we could hand it in early. She agrees, happy that we are well organized.

“Well I will come to yours after school, I will give you a ride home of course. We can finish it then. During the week in class, we just add little touches.” Ryan says when we are walking out of class.

“Sounds like a plan.”

Ryan took Rebecca home, and we are heading to my house. I got a text from Dad saying everything is sorted with the school. At least I know I won’t have to see that horrible principal again. Ryan and I are talking about him and Rebecca coming to visit for a week once I am back home. I am thrilled of the idea. I would love for them to visit. I definitely don’t want to lose touch with them. Ryan has only been in my life for a short while, but it’s like we have known each other for ages.

I walk in the house, linking my arm with Ryan’s, Dad and Diana are on the couch. Dad looks at our body contact and gives Ryan a dirty look. I know straight away that he thinks, that Ryan is the reason why I am leaving.

“Dad, can I have a quick word,” I say pointing to the kitchen.

“Sure.” He follows me.

“He isn’t the guy, so stop looking at him like you could kill him with your bare hands. He is a really good friend, he has been there for me so please be nice.” Dad relaxes by my words.

“I’m sorry, I just saw him and thought the worst. I am just having trouble getting my head around that you are leaving again.”

“I know, but I will visit loads, I promise. We will Skype, Facebook, phone calls. We will never lose touch.” He comes around and hugs me. He keeps hugging me recently, but I know I will miss them when I’m gone.

“You have grown up into such a strong, beautiful woman. I am so proud of you,” I feel a tear slide down my cheek.

“I love you, Dad.” He looks down at me with shock. This is the first time I have ever said I love you to him. I should have said it sooner.

“I love you, too, always.” 

Chapter 34

Aidan

Today is the final match of my senior year. I should be over the moon. The practices have been going smoothly. We have loads of scouts coming, but my heart isn’t entirely in it. I have pushed Kacey closer to Ryan. He has started giving her rides to and from school. She won’t even look at me. When I do talk to her, I talk to her like I have a right to be angry. I fucked a complete stranger, in the same house as her. If it was the other way round, I don’t know what I would do. I just know that I am feeling an ache in my chest because of the distance that is now there. Before it was all me, now that I am the one to feel the distance she has put between us and it completely sucks.

I don’t know if I am paranoid and over thinking things, but Mom and Marc look sad all the time. They are whispering all the time and when I walk through they stop. They always ask me if Kacey has spoken to me recently, but I always say the same thing. We haven’t talked in a while. What else could I say? That I gave her false hope and then treated her like dogshit?

I am now sitting in the locker room in full uniform listening to our coach go on and on about this is the last game of our high school lives, today is the one that matters. Yeah, no pressure there. I roll my eyes and look at Nick, who is also looking at our coach like he is crazy. Some motivational speech.

I walk to the field and look around me, there are thousands that have come to our game. I should be glowing, but I feel kind of numb. I just know I need to get my head in the game. Not just for me but for my teammates, my friends. They deserve my full attention on the game. It’s my fault I screwed up my life, not theirs.

Candy is cheerleading and she runs to me, wrapping her arms around me, and tells me I will be great. She kisses me quickly on the lips. It was so fast, I didn’t have time to react until she is jogging back to the rest of the cheerleaders. Nick looks at me shaking his head. Why is he shaking his head at me for? He points to the stands I see Mom, Marc and Kacey sitting there. Kacey saw yet another girl on me. Perfect. I need to get my head in the game. Kacey is here, she didn’t have to be, but she is. I have that little hope that she came because she still cares.

We won, we won by five points. I can’t believe it. I am covered in sweat and dirt, but I don’t care. We won. People are running and screaming at us. We kept our undefeated title. I am so full of adrenaline. Marc and Mom rush to me, hugging me telling me how proud they are. They have never missed one of my games. They have watched me from my first game in freshman year. I look around them trying to find Kacey, but I can’t see her. I know she stayed throughout the whole game, but where is she now?

“Where’s, Kacey?” I ask Marc.

“She wasn’t feeling to well, so she went home. We are so proud. We knew you would go all the way,” Marc says clapping my back.

“Thanks, Marc that means a lot.” She left? Part of me hurts that she left. She probably really left to see Ryan. Well screw her, I am going to stop pining over her. What’s done is done. She goes in two months, I couldn’t start up anything even if I wanted to.

I am at the celebratory party at Nick’s. We are so buzzed up for winning the game, most of us got scouted. Nick and I were offered by every scout that came to join their colleges. We can go to anyone we want. Nick has agreed he will go where ever I decide. We will always be tight, that will never change. Even though I have had my bad moments, but he always sticks with me. We are drinking shots and cheering when we go over the game. We keep repeating the stories, but we don’t care.

We fucking won.

I am a little buzzed by the alcohol. Nick has some girl stuck to his side so I know he will be leaving soon to hook up with her. I hate that part of me feels lonely. I know I said I am going to move on from Kacey, but part of me would have liked for her to be at my side. Looking up at me with adoration. Happy that everything that I have worked for has paid off. I have a few more shots with the guys, I should have learned my lesson from last time, but remember I’m an idiot.

“Here is our hero of the hour. Told you, you would win.” Candy comes to my side. I can tell she has been drinking, too. Her eyes are all glassy. I can smell the alcohol all over her. “Think it was my good luck kiss,” she says, smiling up at me.

“That must’ve been it,” I tell her. I take another shot. I feel the warm liquid slide down. I watch her take one as well, I watch her lick her lips.

“Can we take some pictures for the newspaper and Facebook page?” A nerdy looking guy comes up with a camera and asks. I feel a little tingly and agree. Candy pushes herself to my side as we pose, then Candy grabs my face and kisses me. I am sure the guy is taking a few of these shots, but at that moment I don’t care.

Her lips feel nice on mine. I deepen the kiss and she moans in my mouth. I pull away seeing she looks dazed, she looks up at me with pure want and need. Why should I deny her? Deny myself? I’m not with Kacey and she has made it clear she wants nothing to do with me. I need to move on like she has. I take Candy’s hand and guide us upstairs. I open one of the doors to a room and see it’s empty, so I walk us in and lock the door.

Candy saunters to the middle of the room and takes off the material she calls a dress, I see she isn’t wearing a bra or underwear. I feel my dick harden. My dick is always ready. I look at her athletic body, she is toned and smooth. I have fucked her a few times, she never disappoints. I walk closer to her and I unzip my jeans, I grab a condom from the pocket, I then pull my jeans down with my boxers and kick them to the side of the room. I watch her eyes take me in.

“Kneel,” I command her, she listens. I feel like a God today, I want to be treated as one. “Suck me till I come.” She does. Her mouth greedily takes me all in. I groan by the suction. She plays with my balls, as she deep throats me, I can feel that I am deep in her throat. I want to pull her hair and make her take more of me. When I hear her moan, letting the vibration tingle all over my cock, I growl out my release. She sucks it all up, I see my cum dripping down her chin, she sticks her tongue out, licking it up, not wasting a single drop.

“Good girl, now lay on the bed and spread your legs for me.” She does with no shame. I don’t know why I am being like this. I have never really ordered a girl in the bedroom. I hear Nick go on about what he expects in the bedroom, but I never really talk, I just go with the flow. We please each other, as long as we both cum then I’m happy. But now I need this. I need control as I feel like I have none.

I spread her legs even wider, I see her juices dripping down already. She is dying for my touch, I can see her body is covered in goose bumps. Her eyes are closed as she licks her lips, tasting me. I lick up the drip sliding down her pussy and suck on her clit, she fists the sheets. It doesn’t take long till she is coming in my mouth. I quickly roll on the condom and look at her, she is staring at my hard dick. The one thing I love about being me, my dick is ready when it knows he is about to get some pussy.

“Turn around and get on all fours,” I say huskily. As soon as she is turned, I enter her hard, causing her to scream out my name. I lift her ass up higher and push on her back so her head lays on the bed. I ram into her harder and harder. The bed is banging against the wall, but I don’t give a shit. I wouldn’t stop even if this damn bed broke. I know she is about to have another orgasm, I can feel her inner muscles tighten around me. I spread her legs so they kind of wrap around me, I feel deeper. She comes almost instantly by this new position, after a few more thrusts I release my load.

I am covered in sweat, but I needed this. I needed time to get out of my head. I pull out and sit on the edge of the bed. Candy is still face down, trying to catch her breath.

“You are a God,” she says all breathy.

“Don’t you ever forget it.”

I walk to the joint bathroom and turn the shower on. I lock the door, I don’t want her to think she can come join me. I have certain rules, I never cuddle after. The only person I have ever cuddled up to was Kacey. I remember when she first asked me to lay next to her. I slept in the same bed with her for a couple of weeks till we decided it was too risky, in case our parents found out. In reality, I hated being in the same bed as her and not being able to fully touch her. How could I? She was getting over what happened with Ryder, I would never push her to do anything until she was ready.

Is she ready now? Is she sleeping with Ryan? I picture her head thrown back in ecstasy as she comes for him. I punch the tiled wall in the shower. I have no right to be angry, I know that. I literally just fucked yet another girl in a space of four days. I fucked girls nearly every day, but now I always feel a little bit of guilt. Kacey was bad news when I first saw her, she played with my head then, and she is doing it now. She doesn’t even know that she does it. I wash myself and lay my head against the wall, breathing in till the water goes cold. I wrap a towel around my waist and head back into the room. Luckily Candy is gone. She knows the drill.

––––––––

Chapter 35

Kacey

It is the day before I head back home. I have everything packed up and ready to take with me. Dad promises to send back anything I can’t carry with me. I still haven’t told Aidan I am leaving. I was never going to, but after the match seeing him in his element, seeing the pride in his eyes when he won the game, I knew I had to tell him. I had to have that closure I said my goodbyes. I went back home so I could decide on how to tell him. I didn’t want to rain on his parade. I sat at home on my Facebook, messaging Viv. She has told everyone I was coming back, she told me some guys have been mentioning me. I am not ready to date anyone, maybe at some point down the line, but not now.

I am waiting for a reply back from Viv, I get annoyed when I see that little sign that she is typing something, then it disappears and then comes back again. How hard is it to just write back? I chuckle to myself. I see on my news feed some pictures of the game. I see one of Aidan, the concentration on his face. I touch the screen with my fingers. I am going to miss him.

Some more pictures start flowing through from the after game party. Some of them you can tell they are pretty drunk. The girls have no decency when posing with the players, but the players don’t seem to mind. I chuckle when I see a picture of Nick with a redhead. He looks all broody, I think that is the pose he was going for. I download the picture and send it to Viv, think she would like an actual picture of the guy she has been drooling over for last couple of months. Viv replies saying hot, he’s okay too, I laugh at that. It takes a lot for her to get jealous.

I freeze when I see two pictures of Aidan and Candy, one is where they are standing so close, looking into the camera, they make such a gorgeous couple. The next is where his lips are on hers. The kiss looks really passionate. I feel myself hurt all over again. I made the right decision on leaving. I can’t keep watching this stuff thrown in my face. I delete the school Facebook page, I am leaving so don’t need to know what goes on there anymore. I don’t ever want to see future pictures of Aidan. I turn off my laptop and lean back in my chair. Am I so naive? My phone rings and I see it’s Mom.

“Hi, Mom, yes I am all packed, and ready to go tomorrow.”

“When did you become such a smart ass? I was just checking up on you. Can’t wait to see you.”

“I can’t wait to see you, too, just think in twenty-four hours I will be home.”

“I will be counting down every second,” we both chuckle.

“It was just a quick call, make sure you get enough sleep, I will see you when I pick you up at the airport.”

“Love you, Mom.”

“Love you, too.” I hang up and stare at the phone taking in a deep breath, just one more day.

Dad wakes me up in the morning, he holds me, I feel tears slide down his cheeks, I cry for him. With him. Diana walks in and we have a group hug. Diana asks my Dad to start up the coffee machine, he goes, stopping at the door and looking back at me like I was going to disappear any second.

“Have you told Aidan you are leaving?” She asks me, I am shocked by the question. Do I lie?

“No, I haven’t.” I don’t elaborate.

“I know you two got close at one point. I saw how he looked at you, how you looked at him. I was uncertain about what to think, but I never saw him so happy in a very long time. I lost my carefree son years ago, you brought that back out in him. I know something has happened. He is hardly here, I see the dark circles under your eyes that you only get from constant crying. I don’t know what happened but do you think there will be any chance you both can sort it out before you go? Go on good terms kind of thing.” Oh, my God, she knows.

“Does Dad know?” It’s the only words that could come out.

“I don’t think so, I wouldn’t want to mention anything if there were nothing to mention. So are you going to tell Aidan you are leaving today?” I look at her and she doesn’t seem angry with me, just curious. I shake my head.

“I am sorry. I know he is your son, but he hurt me emotionally. I was going to tell him yesterday, but I couldn’t. Please don’t hate me.” I beg her. She gives me a tight hug, before releasing me.

“I don’t hate you, I never could. You are a good girl, you would have been good for my son. I know him, I know that he hurt you in some way. I was young, too. I remember holding onto the hurt. I will respect whatever you decide. My son is an ass just so you know,” she giggles, I chuckle with her.

“Thank you for understanding, and no offense, he is,” we both laugh some more. She is good for my dad, I would always want him to be with my mom, but I am happy he has her. I hug her one last time, we walk downstairs to the kitchen.

Diana made sure she made me a huge breakfast that could feed an army. Dad kept staring at me, giving me warm smiles, but I see the sadness in his eyes. I will make sure I will keep in touch with him, nothing will change that. I kept expecting Aidan to walk through the door, but he never does. He never came back home last night from what Diana told me, guess this is easier. I will just see small glimpses of him at school that will be it. We will walk away from each other, moving on with our lives.

Ryan picks me up like he has all week and we pick up Rebecca. They hardly say a word. I know they are bummed that I am leaving, but I don’t want our final day to be like this. I need to change this depressing atmosphere.

“Right let’s get out of this funk, let’s have a threesome right now in the car so we can cherish the memory.” Okay, I could have said something else, but that was the only thing that fell from my lips.

“You know I would but I don’t bat for your team, or I would be so down for that,” Ryan chuckles at me, I turn to look at Rebecca and she is crying. I wanted to make her laugh. I take off my seat belt and climb in the back of the car. Yes, it’s a dangerous move especially in a moving vehicle but right now my friend needs me.

“Hey, we are going to stay in touch. We are going to visit each other loads, please don’t cry or you will set me off.” I tell her and give her a huge hug, but my tears come, we cry with each other. Ryan pulls the car over to a parking lot and climbs out getting in the back as well, we hold each other.

“I’m sorry, I just hate that you are going. I never really had any friends till you came. I was a loner, I kept to myself. You could have made any friends you wanted, yet you stayed with me. I’m going to miss you so much,” Rebecca pulls back from the group hug, wiping her nose with a tissue from her bag.

“You have Ryan now. I will make sure I talk to you nearly every day. You will be visiting me in the summer. Please don’t cry. You both have been there for me, you guys never judged me, especially about fallen for my dick of a stepbrother. We will stay in touch till we grow old.”

“Rebecca, I know you think I kid about when I’m being gay, but it’s true. I am completely one hundred and ten percent gay.” Whoa, okay this is honesty hour in the car.

“I kind of figured that out when we were at the club and you were being overly friendly with the bartender guy. I would never judge you, either of you. I’m just happy I had a good end of senior year. I made good memories, I will always cherish them.” We stay in the back seat, talking for a little while, Ryan gets out, back in his seat and drives us to school. I hold Rebecca’s hand all the way there.

Seeing the school for the last time is so surreal.

This is it.

––––––––

Aidan

Since the party, I have been spending more time at Nick’s. I can’t go back to the house yet, I feel guilty that once again, my head was too fucked to think straight and that I let my dick do the talking. I only go back to get clean clothes, but luckily I never bang into Kacey. I don’t think my head could take it.

I am sitting in Algebra and I see Rebecca and Kacey, whispering, I see them holding hands constantly. What is that about? An image in my head of them two hooking up doesn’t stop the dirty thoughts forming, causing my dick to harden. I know it’s hardly the case, but still. Kacey is wearing a black mini-skirt with knee high boots, her top hangs off one shoulder, she looks amazing. I could have had her. I fucked it up. I will never be able to feel her body, feel her tremble under my touch.

My mood has taken a depressing turn, I see her all over Ryan in English Literature. She keeps hugging his arm, kissing his cheek, I want to throw the table I am sitting at and stomp over and break his neck. I see me in his seat, having her messing about with me, smiling up at me. They must be serious by now. She looks at him with pure adoration.

I guess he is the better person between us both. He could give her a decent relationship, he doesn’t have skeletons in his closest who he has fucked. I have fucked nearly every girl at this school, she would have had to deal with that, put up with them being all over me. Candy is stroking my arm with her finger. I know she wants another round with me, but I am in no mood to give her what she wants.

Maybe over time we can get past all this ugliness and be friends. I still have two months with her, maybe I can start to make amends, talk to her, and apologize for my behavior. I will always want her, but if I can at least be her friend maybe this ache in my chest when I think about her will go. I assume the ache is guilt. Knowing I hurt her over and over.

I can do this.

After school, I am going to talk to her, plead to her to give me a chance to be in her life, even if it’s just friendship, for now anyway.

Chapter 36

Kacey

Ryan and Rebecca have constantly been at my side throughout school. I can see Rebecca’s hurt in her eyes even though she tries to hide it. Ryan kept talking about me sending pictures of all the guys back at home, I promised any cute guy I see I will get a selfie with them. I hate that I only had a month to spend time with him, he has been an amazing friend. I wish I talked to him more when I first started when he came over to say hi. I thought he was hitting on me, but he told me he saw that I was different, a kindred spirit. Now I know he is gay, I wish I took time out to approach him. I do have regrets on how certain things turned out, but that’s what makes you who you are. The journey, the path you decide to go down on.

I would like to say Aidan was a regret, but the truth is, I got to see the sweet side to him. The caring boy who took care of me at the worst time in my life, being my rock when I needed him. Things could have turned out differently between us, but I suppose some things aren’t meant to be. He was my temptation. My body craved him, still does. I was just never enough. I guess a leopard can never change his spots.

Ryan drove me home, Rebecca insisted on being there until I went. Driving up the driveway I see Dad standing near his car, waiting for me. All my things have been packed, my suitcases will be already in the car. Getting out of Ryan’s car and staring at the house that has been my home for the last four months, I remember how I dreaded being here. Now part of me hates that I am going, that part will always be here.

A part of me that would’ve stayed.

“Ready?” Dad asks walking towards me. I feel the tears already sliding down my cheeks.

“Almost,” I walk to the front door where Diana is standing, watching. I surprise her and throw my arms around her, hugging her. She has been so lovely towards me, I know we have had our moments, but she cared for me. “Thank you for making my dad happy. Thank you for letting me stay here. I know I turned your life upside down but thank you for being there for me.”

“You are always welcome here, we need another girly shopping trip next chance we get.”

“Definitely.” I hug her for a few more seconds then I let go, giving her a warm smile and walking back down towards Ryan and Rebecca. I hug each of them, crying my goodbyes to them. I am so going to miss them. “Thank you for being my friend.”

“Nothing will ever change that,” Ryan says squeezing me.

“I hate that you’re going. I hate how soon this has happened. I’m not ready to let you go,” Rebecca says crying as hard as me, holding me, not wanting to let go.

“I know, I will call you when I get home, I promise.”

“You better.” I walk away, looking at them both. God, why is this so hard?

“Ready,” I say to my dad. I walk to the passenger side and get in. Dad gets in the driver’s seat, waving to Diana and pulls out. I turn my head so I can see them, I don’t turn back around till they are out of view. I can’t believe I am actually going.

“Alright kid, let’s sing some cheesy songs till we get to the airport.” We do, we sing terribly to songs from the Spice Girls to S club 7. I cry and laugh all the way there, but in the back of my mind I am thinking of Aidan, wondering if my main regret was not telling him I was leaving.

Telling him goodbye.

Aidan

“Are you that scared to head home? I feel like you have moved in,” Nick says, as we play on his Xbox. I know he has noticed that I am avoiding Kacey, but I need to settle my nerves before I head back to talk to her. I just need to know what I am going to say.

“I am going back today, I decided I am going to grow a pair and talk to Kacey, I realized that I need her in my life, even as friends. My head is all over the place and this is the only thing that makes sense. I just don’t know how to start the conversation. I don’t want her to walk away. I need her to listen to me, let me explain.” I babble on.

“Just keep trying. You can’t give up if she does walk away, she will be angry, pissed off, so just keep trying until she finally listens to what you have to say. You may not get it sorted tonight, but if you’re serious about this, you won’t give up.”

“Right, I am going to head off now, thanks for putting up with my crap.” I fist bump him.

“It’s about time you are doing something, you been so depressing lately.” Nick chuckles at me.

“Thanks, man, what every guy wants to hear. Well, wish me luck.”

“You won’t need it.”

I drive back home going over and over what I am going to say. Nick is right she’s not just going to listen to me straight away. I need to keep pestering her till she gives me a chance. I may not deserve it, but I need it. I go through every scenario in my head, in everyone she walks away, but I won’t give up.

Walking inside my house, I notice how quiet it is. I walk into the kitchen to see Mom sitting at the breakfast island and it looks like she has been crying. Oh my, God, has something happened? If someone has hurt her, I am going to brutally kill them.

“Mom, what’s happened?” I ask her, checking her over to see if she has been harmed, but she looks fine.

“Oh, Honey, I hate to be the one to tell you this, she said she would say something.” Mom says with tears coming down her cheeks.

“Who will say something?” I feel my stomach tightening with what she is about to say. I feel my heart thumping a million miles a second.

“Kacey has gone back home, she’s gone, sweetie.” WHAT? She has gone? No, she can’t be gone, I just saw her in Drama. I saw her only a couple of hours ago.

“What do you mean gone? She can’t be gone. I need to talk to her. She isn’t gone, tell me she hasn’t gone.” I plead with her.

“I’m so sorry, Marc has taken her to the airport. Her Mom finished work early and she decided she wanted to finish her senior year back home. I’m so sorry.” I can’t take this in, she can’t be gone. I run out the house and get in my car. I hear Mom screaming my name, but it’s like white noise. I need to stop her from going. She can’t leave me.

I need to get to her.

I drive as fast as I can go to the airport. I don’t even care if I get pulled over. My only thoughts are Kacey. I see all images of her running through my head. Why didn’t she tell me?

When could she have? You were never there, my head yells at me.

I’m too late, I was going to make this right. I was going to get her forgiveness. This can’t be happening. The ride took way too long. When I finally get to the airport I run out of my car, it will probably get towed away, but I need to get to her. I run into the airport like a man possessed. I keep running until I see Marc. I’m not too late, Kacey will be here somewhere.

“Where is she?” I ask him, his eyes are full of tears. No, no. She can’t be gone.

“I’m sorry, son. She’s gone.” NO.

“She can’t be, where’s her plane? I will stop it. I need to talk to her.” I sound like a madman. I need to get to her. I say it over and over in my head.

“Her plane just took off.” I feel like I am going to have a breakdown. She’s gone. She left me. I run away from him and get back in my car. I drive. The words are on repeat in my head. She is gone. She left me?

I don’t know how long I have been driving, it could’ve been hours, it could be minutes. I have no sense of time. I am in my own head when I see Ryan taking bins out to the curb. This is his fault, she must have left because of him. I feel my blood boil with anger. I jump out of my car and run to him, I punch him straight in the face, making him tumble to the floor.

“She’s gone, she left because of you.” I spit out at him, I punch him again.

“She left because of you.” He shouts back at me, spitting out some blood. “You made her go when you fucked that girl. This is your fault.” I can’t process his words. She left because of me, I made her go? No, that can’t be right.

“You were her boyfriend, you should have made her stay.” I keep the anger in me, if I don’t hold onto this anger, I will break, I know I will.

“I was never her boyfriend, you dick. She wanted you, and you shit all over her. You fucking broke her.” he yells at me. No, I can’t listen to this.

“You’re lying. You two have been all over each other. I saw you both at the club, she was hanging all over you.”

“No, you saw what you wanted to see. I am fucking GAY you prick. I lost a really good friend, Rebecca lost her best friend, her dad lost his daughter, just because you couldn’t keep it in your fucking pants. Well, I hope it was worth it.” I watch him walk away.

NO, NO, NO. I fall to my knees. I won’t see her beautiful face smile up at me. I won’t hear her laugh. I lost the one girl I ever truly wanted.

I lost a piece of my soul.
