momentarily distracted by looking
for Dad. I smiled happily when I saw his truck was gone, and Mom
with him.
Then it hit me.
Oh, no. My brother, my love, just confessed
everything. And now we're going to be together. Alone.
My sex pulsed like someone had taken a
hammer to my flesh from the inside out. Soft, wet, and achingly
ready, I wanted him.
Desire replaced my blood and brain, turning
me to a sticky mess of hot jelly in a girl's shape.
I was still sitting on the bike after the
engine ceased and he climbed off. Jack walked several paces,
realized I wasn't behind him, and then spun around and looked at
me.
“ What's up, Sis? Better
get off and freshen up before they come home.”
“ That's all you have to
say?” I asked, finally swinging one stiff leg over it, onto the
ground. “We might be alone for hours, Jack. Don't you want
to...?”
I couldn't say it. The words stuck in my
throat.
He came close to me, wrapped his hands
around my back, and pulled me into his chest. Whimpering, I laid my
cheek on his breast, relishing the incredible power coiled against
me.
“ Not yet. Anticipation is
part of the game, little Sis. But for you, a small
taste.”
His hand crawled along my face, sweeping a
stray lock of hair behind my ear. I was too shaken, deep in my own
breathing, to notice him leaning in until he was right on top of
me.
We kissed. Fireworks exploded in my belly,
and then dashed much lower.
I moaned into his mouth, wrapping my arms
tighter, hands clawing at his back. But he held steady, kissing me
like a conqueror, an owner.
His strong tongue flicked out, smoothing
itself against my lips, before disappearing just as quickly.
“ Oh. Oh, Jack. I want you
so bad,” I groaned, shifting my hips into him.
His breathing caught – the masculine double
of my feminine moan. But his hands clamped around my shoulders and
nudged me away, like a giant easily toying with a peasant girl.
“ Not now, Sis. Just wait
until dance night. You'll get everything you want, but it may not
be as slow and sweet as you're expecting.” A slow, harsh smile
crept along his face. “Remember, you agreed to anything if I take you to this
thing.”
But that was before you told me how much you
like me...
He turned and walked away, leaving me alone
with my thoughts, my fire. I wondered what he meant as I began the
long trek upstairs to my room.
I had to take care of this brutal throb
between my legs. I'd never pleasured myself so fast and efficiently
before, pinching my clit and nearly taking my virginity with my
fluttering, sticky fingers.
Is this what he's talking about? I can
handle fast and rough. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the
world.
Or is Jack into something much darker?
Afterward, I straightened my clothes and
shuddered. I had about a week to find out, and I had no earthly
idea how I'd resist him until then.
II: Going All In
“ Congratulations, honey!”
Mom slapped her son on his broad shoulders. “You've found a job
faster than anyone I know.”
Jack smiled uneasily as she leaned over and
kissed him on the cheek. I sat across from him, never breaking our
gaze, surprised that he kept his eyes trained on me amid all the
attention.
“ Special days like this
only come every so often,” Dad said. He stood up and walked over to
the cupboard next to the stove, the place where he secured his
liquor.
He poured three shots of whiskey and divided
them between the three adults who could legally drink. Not to leave
me out, he filled a mug of coffee and pushed it into my eager
palms.
Special day? Oh, you have no idea, Dad.
Jack's job offer alone makes it one hell of a day. But tonight,
he's all mine...
“ Congratulations, Jack,” I
whispered. “Any big plans?”
Jack downed his glass and I laughed as his
eyes widened. He let out a loud whoop.
I laughed first, but soon everyone helped
fill the dining room with laughs that bounced off the balls and
echoed from the ceiling.
“ Just a night out on
