T he door closes behind him and I rush into the bathroom, dousing my face in cold water. His lips against my ear had me in a near panic as my panties grew wet. Having him that close. Breathing him in. My delusional mind hallucinated, imagining he was hard. I felt something against my hip, probably his cell phone, and I almost rubbed up against him, ready to beg for a spanking.
It’s getting out of hand. The separation this summer, the anger, did nothing to erase these feelings, and now it’s an incurable disease.
“Your stepbrother is really nice,” Sophie says as I emerge from the bathroom, only feeling mildly calmer. We need to go shopping. That will be a good distraction.
“Yeah, but he can be a little overbearing at times. I know he means well though.” As much as I’d rather deny it, I know he’s worried about me.
“I wish I had a sibling. It would’ve been nice to have someone looking out for me at school. Someone to protect me from all the assholes.”
She told me how she had to change schools last year because she’d been bullied at her previous school. It sounded like hell from what she described. I can’t even imagine kids being that cruel to anyone. There were definitely some snooty girls at my school, but she’s right; no one ever crossed a line with me because of who my brother is.
“Well, if anyone gives you shit here, you let me know and I’ll sic Lukas on them.”
If there’s one thing Lukas is good at, it’s intimidating people. The looks on the guys’ faces outside were laughable. As soon as Luke walked up, it looked like they wanted to bolt. All I know is they’ll probably never talk to me again. The way he was acting gave the impression that he’s my boyfriend. Which I’m kind of okay with. They had that whole “I’m all that” vibe going and were giving me the ick. I didn’t want them to come knocking on my door, but now, I don’t think they’ll even smile at me if I pass them.
“Are you ready to go to Target?” I ask. It’s time for that much-needed distraction.
“Yep. All set.”
