My heart plummeted to the ground, and a wave of nausea literally rushed over me as my stomach roiled. Of course, my subconscious was right because did I really think my stepbrother would be interested in a naïve, eighteen year old girl who goes ga-ga whenever he comes within a ten foot radius? We haven’t even had a real conversation for years, if ever. Plus, would Nick truly make a move on me? In public, with tons of people circulating around us?
I stepped away for a moment, excusing myself, and went into the kitchen to catch my breath. Disappointment crushed my form and all I wanted to do was to go upstairs and crawl under the covers of my bed before bursting into tears. But it was my party, and I had to be present despite the unshed tears making my eyes hot.
Unfortunately, it was crowded in the kitchen too, with little chance of peace and quiet. As a compromise, I let myself into the laundry room off to the side of the kitchen, gently closing the pocket door for added privacy. It was dark and I didn’t bother to turn on the lights because I needed some time alone to calm down. I’d been riding an adrenaline roller coaster after seeing Nick arrive, and the quiet and darkness helped my pulse subside.
Meanwhile, the voice in my head scoffed again.
All that happened is that you shared a look with your stepbrother, it said. He didn’t touch you. He didn’t kiss you. In fact, you haven’t even exchanged any words! Get your head out of the clouds, Kristie. Nick Bradley is out of your league, and he’d never be interested in you.
The words hurt, but I made myself believe them because it’s true. We’re literally family, albeit not related by blood, and Nick had a bright future ahead of him with a career in medicine and beautiful, accomplished women throwing themselves at his feet. He’s not going to get involved with an orphan who stares at him with big blue eyes, worshipping him like a child.
But then, someone pulled open the pocket door and before I realized it, Nick was in the darkened laundry room with me. I could hardly believe it.
“Nick!” I gasped. “What are you doing here?”
That big body loomed over me, crowding me against the washing machine.
“What do you think? Goddamn, you’ve been driving me out of my mind, Kris.”
Then, his mouth swooped down and claimed mine, hard and forceful. I melted against his broad chest immediately. The possession was immediate, and I mewled hungrily against the alpha male as my arms snaked up around his shoulders to lock behind his neck.
“Mmm,” I moaned, parting my lips as his tongue swept along the seam of my mouth. “Oh yes. Oh wait, what are we doing?”
“What I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Nick rasped before delving deep, almost devouring me as I pressed my breasts against his broad form. “You’ve been driving me out of my mind since forever, Kris. I haven’t been able to focus because of you.”
I wanted to say, Me neither. I love you, Nick, and I’ve wanted you for so long. Please, claim me as yours. I belong to you.
But all words whooshed out of my mind because with as fast as lightning, Nick lifted me onto the washing machine so that my bottom was perched on the edge.
“I can’t hold back,” he rasped again. “I’ve been waiting for this day.”
What day? My graduation? My birthday? Suddenly, I realized that at age eighteen, I was finally legal. I could make love to Nick with no restrictions, and there was nothing I wanted more in life. Heck, we’d hardly even talked, and yet I knew this was meant to be.
“Yes,” I murmured sweetly. “I’m yours, Nick. Please.”
The huge alpha male moaned hungrily while pushing the hem of my dress up with trembling fingers to reveal a tiny red g-string.
“Fuuuuck,” he growled before seizing the material in his fist and tearing it away from my cunt. I sat stock still, my heart racing with shock. Did that just happen? Did my stepbrother just rip my panties off, baring my sweet and tender pussy for his eyes only?
But it was true because Nick’s cobalt gaze was fixed to my sweetest spot, unable to look away. With blunt fingers he gently stroked my labia before pulling them apart, revealing the moist pinkness within.
“You’re so beautiful, Kristie,” he moaned again like a man in pain. “Even better than in my imagination.”
Then, before I realized it, the alpha male was on his knees before me, pushing my thighs even wider to bare my innocence to his gaze. I trembled with shock but then a high-pitched squeal came out of my mouth as he leaned forward and licked me there.
“Ohhh!” I half-panted, half-screamed. “Oh my god.”
