I’ve been in love with him for as long as I can remember. Stefan,My best friend’s brother. The one I trailed around like a shadow when I was ten, the one I thought would always be just out of reach. I told myself it would go away. That I’d grow up, find someone else, move on. But seeing him now — just across the room, hair falling into his eyes, that half-smile that used to make me melt in seconds — all of that pretending crumbled. My chest tightened. My stomach twisted. My body betrayed me in ways I had no control over. I wanted him. Desperately. Every nerve screamed it. My skin burned, my thighs ached, and I realized, with terrifying clarity, that my body had never stopped craving him. “Daphne?” My best friend’s voice cut through my haze. Her eyes followed mine, sharp and curious. “What are you staring at?” I forced a smile. “Nothing… I wasn’t staring at anything.” “Liar,” she snapped, rolling her eyes. “Anyway, I want to let you know my brother is back. He should be here any moment now.” Before I could respond, she added, “Oh, he’s here,” waving her hand toward him. My hands trembled, my nerves threatening to swallow me whole. I think I forgot how to breathe. “Bianca. Daphne,” he said as he reached us, and I deliberately avoided his gaze. “You both have gotten taller,” he added, happiness lacing his tone. Bianca squealed and threw her arms around him. “You’re finally back!” I froze. Then his arms were around me too — firm, warm, smelling like rain and cedar. My heart thudded so hard I forgot to breathe.When he finally pulled back, our eyes met. My mouth parted, but no words came out. “Daphne,” he said, his voice soft but firm, pulling me out of my daze. “Are you okay?” Concern laced every syllable. “I… I… I’m just shocked to see you here,” I stammer, forcing an awkward smile. His concern melts into a small, easy grin, and I feel my stomach flutter. “It’s been so long since I left home. I’m really happy to be back,” he says, his gaze lingering on me. If he keeps looking at me like that, I honestly don’t know what I’ll do. “Come along with me. Everyone’s excited to see you,” Bianca interrupts, breaking our gaze as she takes him by the arm. I exhale a shaky sigh of relief and follow behind them, watching as he greets everyone in the family. Their smiles are wide, laughter spilling, and I can’t tear my eyes away from him. At the dinner table, my gaze follows him like a magnet. He catches me staring, flashes a smile, and I quickly look away, cheeks burning. His parents pepper him with questions about college, and I secretly rejoice that not a single girl is mentioned. My mind races with delusions, imagining that he might finally see me not just as his sister’s best friend, but as a woman. Dinner ends all too quickly, and it’s time for me to leave. “Do you really have to go?” Bianca whines as soon as I step outside. “I didn’t tell Mom I’d be sleeping over,” I mumble, though the truth is, I can’t imagine sleeping there with him still in the house. “It doesn’t matter—she knows you’re here,” Bianca complains. Before I can answer, Stefan steps out, and my breath catches in my throat. “Are you heading home?” His voice is calm, measured, but my chest tightens at the sound. “Yes,” I murmur, forcing a faint smile. “That’s a shame. We didn’t get to really catch up,” he says, smiling softly. He hands me a bag. “Here—this is for you and your mom,” he says, then offers another. “And this is for your sister.” “Thank you. I’ll give it to them,” I reply, clutching the bags a little too tightly, smiling back at him. “We’ll see each other soon,” he says, and I watch him walk away, heart pounding, every step imprinting itself into my memory. “See you in college, Bianca,” I say, waving goodbye. My ride is already waiting outside. I get home in no time. The house is quiet—Mom and my sister are already asleep—so I head straight to my room. I change into my pajamas and slide under the covers, but my eyes remain fixed on the ceiling. My thoughts are consumed by him. I can’t stop thinking about him. I can’t sleep. My hand drifts to my drawer, and I pull out my vibrator. My body reacts before my mind can protest. I lower my pajama bottoms, turn it on, and press it to my clit. A gasp escapes me. My eyes squeeze shut, and in my mind, there’s only him—every curve, every glance, every stolen smile. My legs tremble. My hips grind against the sheets. I clutch the bed sheets as my body arches, pulsing with need, climbing higher and higher. “Fuck… Stefan,” I moan, my voice trembling as I come undone. The smile on my face is unmistakable—pure satisfaction. “I love you,” I whisper to myself, letting exhaustion wash over me, the room silent except for my ragged breaths. The next morning, I woke up before my alarm. I got ready for college, and the smile on my face didn’t fade once. I dressed a little nicer than usual, added makeup bolder than usual, and tied my hair back in a ponytail. Just as I was about to leave, I remembered the gift Stefan had given me. I grabbed the bag and went downstairs. Mom and Bella were already at the breakfast table. “You’re up early,” Mom said, smiling when she saw me. “I guess I woke up on the right side today,” I replied. “Here, this is for you,” I said, handing the bag to Bella, who barely looked up from her phone. Her eyes widened in confusion. “Where did you get this?” she asked. “Stefan. He’s back,” I said, watching her reaction. Her eyes widened in shock. “You seem surprised. I thought you said you never wanted him to come back,” I added, amusement lacing my tone. “That’s why I’m in shock,” she said. “He came back… and he got me a gift? Eww.” I rolled my eyes; they’d never gotten along. “He got you this, Mom,” I said, handing the gift to her. “That’s so sweet of him,” she said, collecting it. “Here, it has your name on it too,” she added, taking out a box. I remembered the gift was for both of us and gently took it from her, slipping it into my bag. I ate only a little before leaving for college. “Daphne!” Bianca screamed my name as soon as she saw me. I couldn’t help but smile, her excitement contagious. We walked in together, and I was eager for the lectures to end. Bianca had mentioned her entire family was coming to our house tonight—she hadn’t said why—but I knew one thing: Stefan would be there, and that was all that mattered. After college, I went straight home to get ready. I dressed a little more than usual and stayed in my room for a while, trying to calm my nerves. A soft knock at the door made me jump slightly. I opened it to see Bianca. “You’re here already?” I said, smiling. “Technically, it’s 7 p.m.,” she replied. I hadn’t realized how much time had passed. “You look so beautiful tonight. One would think you’re the bride-to-be,” she added, teasing. I frowned, confused, before she grabbed my hand. “We should go before they start without us,” she said, pulling me downstairs. My smile widened at the sight of Stefan. “Oh, good! Daphne is here. Now the whole family is here to witness my daughter’s engagement,” Mom announced. My smile froze. “Engagement? What are you talking about, Mom?” I asked, confusion clawing at me. “Your sister is getting engaged to Stefan,” she said casually. My eyes went wide, my stomach dropping. “What?!”Adrian’s POV“That’s a wrap!” the director’s voice boomed through the studio.I pushed myself up from the sofa. Before I could even take a step, the hair and makeup team swarmed me, dabbling at my face with sponges and brushes. My eyes instinctively sought out Daphne. She stepped forward, offering a chilled bottle of water. I took it, our fingers barely brushing, and forced myself to look away. Every nerve in my body wanted to linger on her, but the sting of her rejection was still too fresh—a dull ache in my chest that wouldn't go away.Once the team finished and filed out, the room went quiet. A soft knock echoed against the door. I stayed silent, watching the handle turn. For a split second, my heart jumped, hoping to see Daphne’s face, but Stella sauntered in instead.“What do you want?” I snapped, the bitterness in my voice hard to hide.“I’m here to invite you to a party tonight,” Stella said, a smirk playing on her lips. “Just a little get-together with the cast. I know how muc
Daphne’s POVThe air finally reached my lungs as Adrian pulled away. The frantic drumming in my chest slowed, the walls of the elevator no longer feeling like they were crushing me.“Do you feel better?” Adrian whispered. He searched my face, his eyebrows pinched with worry. I managed a small, shaky nod.“You can get out now.”The cold voice shattered the moment. I spun around, my heart dropping into my stomach. Stefan stood there, his jaw tight and his eyes darker than I’d ever seen them. My mouth hung open, a plea dying on my tongue as he turned on his heel and walked away.“Stefan!” I called out.I moved to follow him, but Adrian’s fingers clamped around my wrist. “Daphne, don’t. You don’t have to go after him,” he said, his voice cracking slightly.“Let go!” I snapped, wrenching my arm out of his grip. I didn't look back at him. I sprinted down the hallway, my heels clicking loudly against the tile. “Stefan! Wait!”He finally halted, his shoulders stiffening before he slowly turne
Stefan’s POV“Wait—what?” The words tripped over my tongue. My chest tightened, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird, but Bella didn’t even blink.“I know you’re sleeping with Daphne,” she said.My eyes stretched wide. A cold prickle of sweat broke out along my hairline. How? Did Daphne tell her?“Come on, Stefan. She’s my sister.” Bella stepped past me, her silk dress rustling as she claimed a spot on the edge of the bed. “I’ve seen the way she looks at you. She’s been in love with you since we were kids.”I forced my voice to stay level, though my hands were trembling. “How do you know we slept with each other?”She turned to face me, a soft, unsettling smile playing on her lips. “I stopped by that day. I think you were both too... occupied... to notice the door opening. I closed it and gave you your privacy.” She shrugged, her tone as casual as if she were discussing the weather.“And you’re not angry?”Bella let out a dry, half-hearted laugh. “Why should I be? Le
Bella’s POV“Bella.”Daphne’s voice made my stomach drop. I forced my head up, meeting the exact gaze I’d been dreading—eyes like cold glass. “How are you even here?” she added, her arms crossed tight over her chest.“Is that what you say to your sister the moment she gets back?” My mom’s voice rose, her face reddening with a look of pure frustration.“Oh, so this crowd is for her big welcome? Why?” Daphne’s lip curled. “No one asked her to leave.” She stepped closer, her eyes scanning my messy hair and wrinkled clothes. “Why are you back here, Bella? I thought you said in your letter that you were done with this family.”I stared at the floor, my throat feeling like it was full of sand. I didn't know what to say to her.“That’s enough, Daphne! I thought you would be happy. They finally found her,” my mom snapped, her chest heaving.“No, they didn’t find her.” Daphne let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “She probably spent every cent she took and crawled back so she wouldn’t have to sleep o
Daphne’s povI knew I sounded desperate, but I didn't care. I was finally this close to him, and the thought of him stopping was unbearable. His eyes were glued to mine, dark and filled with a hunger that matched my own. He wanted this just as much as I did.“Please,” I begged, my voice cracking. “
Stefan’s POVI scoffed, raking my fingers through my hair. “You want me to call off the wedding? You’re crazy if you think I’d do that.” I tried to sound firm, but my voice had a sharp, jagged edge to it.She didn't look bothered. Instead, a slow smirk pulled at her lips. She stepped toward me, clo
Stefan’s POVIt’s good that Daphne is still here. The timing couldn’t be better to introduce Adrian to her.“I thought you left,” my mom says the moment she sees me. She rises from her chair and walks over, then her gaze shifts to Adrian. Her brows knit together. “Who is he?”“Oh my fucking God!” B
Stefan’s POVWhy the hell is she here? I forced a smile, though the muscles in my face felt stiff and fake.“Daphne will be joining us for lunch today!” Bella’s voice was bright, full of an excitement that made my stomach twist. She stepped closer to me before turning her gaze toward Adrian. “You’r
