SEDUCING MY STEPBROTHER

Lexi woke up by 5 pm, her head throbbing and aching at the same time. Her throat felt dry and she peeked her eyes open to stare at her surroundings.

‘This isn’t my room!’ Was the first thought that came to her head as her eyes roamed around the room. She tried sitting up, causing a whimper to fall off her lip.

Her body aches so badly like she had been trampled over by a car, she pushed up again and that is when she noticed the figure sleeping soundly beside her.

She study his facial features; he looked so beautiful that it almost felt unreal but she had seen him, had touched him every day to know he is real. Her fingers itch to touch him and moved the hair covering his face away but she shook her head.

‘Remember you want to stay away from him!’ That voice again.

Lexi wanted to dissociate herself from him, she wants to get over him before she falls deeper in love with him and have him break her heart to shards.

‘How did she get here in the first place?’ She looked around again, the event of last night filtering into her hazy brain.

The way she tried to keep the tears from falling as he thrust in and out of her, the way he held her so gently as if she would break if he should go faster. How she restrain herself from calling out his name as she came undone beneath him, and how she crawled out of bed with tears in her eyes when he was fast asleep.

Huddling herself into her abandoned room, she collapsed on the floor before she could get to bed and cried till the early morning, her teeth gritting together as the cold air seep into her weak bones.

She had fallen into the same shit she tried to avoid, the rule was not to fall in love with each other but here she is. Deeply in love with her stepbrother, the one man she cannot have.

Her vision turns glassy, tears pooling and threatening to fall. She promised herself she wouldn’t cry but her weak heart refused to listen to her.

Undoubtedly, she would break, deep down to the depth of her soul if she find out that he really cheated behind her back or that he had only been using her to quench his thirst for sex all this while.

Glancing at him one more time, she crept out of the bed, careful not to wake him up. She walked into her room through the joint door in their room and walked into the bathroom to take her bath.

She cannot stand being in the same room with him, the pains in her heart were enough to tear her apart. It was now or never, she would stay away from him now, get over him so she would not be the one to bear the brute of it if everything the woman said turned out to be true.

“Lexi,” that voice! She closed her eyes at the sensual promise behind it.

That husky voice that always make her wet even before he touched her, the sensual promises behind it that always melt her heart and turn her into a mess for him. She shook her head to rid it of any thoughts that has to do with him.

“Lexi!” It sounded closer this time, and before she could process anything, the door to her bathroom flung open and he walked in.

“What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you acting odd since you can back from the office last night?” He yelled, the veins on his neck throbbed so hard, his jaws clenched as he glared at her.

“Get out of my bathroom!” She yelled at him, her hand shoving at his chest.

His eyes softened and he wrapped his arm around her. “I am so sorry for yelling at you baby, you just got me worried with the weird act.”

Her body relaxed against him, she couldn’t deny that her body and heart wants this man. Staying away from him was going to be impossible, getting over him was just her way of lying to herself that she isn’t deeply in love with him.

Even the breath of her nose knows he owns her body and soul, he had ingrained himself deep into her. Aziz is her addiction, an addiction she knew would be so hard to get over.

With the last thread of restraining left in her, she shoved him away from her and pushed at his chest.

“Get out of my room!” Her face held no smile, no expression at all as she ordered him to leave.

“Baby—”

“I told you to get out!!” She yelled, her voice rising.

He stared at her for so long that she feared he would see through her, but she couldn’t back down now. If she looked away, he would know something is wrong, so she stared back at him until she saw his shoulder slump.

“If that is what you want,” he turned around and walked out of her bathroom, soon the sound of her bedroom door being slammed hard could be heard.

She slid down to the ground and cried anew, the tears refusing to stop falling as much as she tried. This wasn’t what she bargained for, when she abstained from the relationship all this while, it was because she didn’t want to suffer heartbreaks and now this…

This is too much, it wasn’t confirmed yet that he cheated on her and her heart can’t accept the pain. She stayed there on the floor, crying out her heart.

“Aargh!” Aziz screamed, pushing away the table in the centre of the damaged living room, everything was turned upside down.

The TV was the first thing he smashed the moment he walked out of Lexi’s room, his rage knew no bounds. He destroyed everything he could get his hand on.

His heart shredded with the sound of each item as they shatter around him. He wanted to comfort her, to touch her, to have her close to him but without being told, he knew she is trying to distance herself from him.

‘What could have gone wrong?’ The question wouldn’t stop prancing around his head and he wish he could get the answer to it.

Trails of blood followed him as he paced in the room, the pain in his heart numbing the pain in his hands and feet. When he came up with no explanation for her sudden change, he picked up his phone from the mess and dialled his PA number.

“Get me the video footage of Lexi’s company from yesterday afternoon till today, I want to check something!” He ordered, “Tell whosoever stops you from getting access to it, that I requested for the footage.”

“Yes, sir…”

“What is it you want to say?” He begrudges.

“If you don’t mind, can I know why you want to see the footage of Miss Lexi’s—”

“I do mind!” Aziz snapped at him. “Get me the footage and send it here, his voice was deadly.”

“With immediate effect, sir,” the silence that followed after he hung up twisted Aziz’s heart. This wasn’t the way he planned for the day to turn out.

After the dinner he prepared yesternight, he intended to take her out for shopping, get to know the woman beneath the sexy goddess he was addicted to.

He wanted to know who she is. What does she like and dislike? What ticks her off? What makes her happy and sad? He wanted to know Lexi herself, not the woman who dominated his brain, not the woman he couldn’t stay a day without having a taste of her.

The sound of the doorbell pulls his thoughts away from its track. Ignoring the pains shooting through his body from his hands and feet, he rushed to get to the door.

Thinking it was James who had come to deliver the footage to him, he yanked the door open and his eyes dimmed. Anger took over his features at once and he clenched his jaws so hard.

His unwavering eyes pinned hers and the urge to grab her neck and snap it off her shoulder took over him. Instead, he fold his hands into tight fists and glared at her.

“Hello Aziz,” that annoying voice found his ears and he gritted his teeth.

“How did you find this place?”
