OCTAVIA’S POV
“I'm sorry, Octavia. I also wasn't expecting him to be back to New Zealand.” Bernie said, shoving his fingers deep into his scalp, his frustration evident.
I sat on the sofa in our room, hands under my breasts and my legs crossed on each other.
My face features were hardened and I was glaring at Bernie like it was his fault.
I knew that I have no right to complain, after all, the house belongs to Bernie and his older brother, whose name I haven't heard or probably couldn't recollect.
“He never said he would be home soon. I swear I didn't tell you because I knew about it. I also have no idea.” Bernie tried to explain to me, his voice straining as he tried to make me understand.
I have no idea why I was flustered and angry at Bernie when he was clearly not at fault.
I just wished the ground could open and swallow me whole.
I never want to come face to face with Bernie’s older brother, knowing that I was watching his sex escapades with a blondie just few hours ago.
Leaving the room was an hassle. I didn't step out of our room until Bernie returned from work and I have no plans on facing his older brother. At least, not for now.
“I know. I'm sorry for getting mad at you.” I heaved a sigh and stood up from the sofa. “I was just flustered and taken aback.”
“What was he doing when you found out that he returned?” Bernie's sudden question made me flinch a little.
“I have no idea. I just came home and saw a blue Bugatti in the compound.” I lied.
At least it wasn't a lie and neither was it the full truth.
I couldn't bring myself to tell Bernie that I was peeking at his older brother fucking a certain blondie.
“I will talk to him and make sure he doesn't interfere in your business.” Bernie said and walked out of our room.
Once he was gone, I fell back on the sofa with a soft sigh.
The best way to avoid him was to pretend like I never saw anything.
I can't hide from him forever……
I was still dwelling in my thoughts when Bernie called me from downstairs, causing me to flinch in fear.
“Babe! Come downstairs!” Bernie's voice resonated in every nook and cranny of the mansion.
“Coming!” I replied and put on a more decent clothes before heading downstairs.
I stopped on my track once I sighted Bernie seated on a sofa and in front of him was his older brother, whose back was turned against me.
I swallowed and continued walking.
Once I was close, I announced my presence. “Babe, I'm here.”
Both Bernie and his older brother turned at once to face me and when my eyes met with that of his brother's, my breath hitched.
He was nothing short of perfection.
He has a strong, chiseled face with piercing blue eyes. His skin is tanned and smooth, and his hair is dark brown and messy.
His presence is powerful and domineering and his facial features are perfectly balanced.
“Babe, here is my older brother, Romania. I prefer calling him Roman.” The voice of Bernie snapped me from my continuous ogling at my boyfriend's brother. “Roman, here is my girl, Octavia.”
“It's nice to meet you.” Romania smiled at me and I felt my stomach flipped but I was able to save myself from another embarrassment.
“Same here.” I replied nonchalantly and took a seat beside Bernie.
“I'm not sorry for coming home without telling anyone. It's not my fault your girl saw me—-”
My eyes widened as he spoke. I cut him a glare and he immediately stopped talking at once.
A sigh escaped my lips immediately he stopped talking. If he had spoken any further, Bernie would question me for peeping at his brother's live sex session, and I swear, I have no reply to why I did that.
“What? What did my girl do?” Bernie asked, his brows furrowed as he glanced at me then returned his gaze back to his brother, seeking for an answer.
“It's nothing.” Romania waved him off and leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed against each other.
“Babe, what is it?” Bernie turned to me and I forced a smile.
“I caught him taking my favourite fruit so I called him a thief.”
Great! I have successfully become a professional liar.
A chuckle escaped Romania’s lips but he didn't utter anymore words.
“So Roman, for how long would you be staying here?” Bernie asked after a few seconds of silence.
“I have no idea. I might stay longer than I intended to.” Romania took his leg off the other and placed his elbows on his lap, staring deep into my eyes. “Because I found something interesting.”
I don't know why, but for some reason, he was referring to me.
I don't know if I was being paranoid or not, but something was wrong.
“And what do you find interesting that made you want to stay?” Bernie went further to ask but Romania rose to his feet and swept his messy hair backward.
“It's a secret, and secrets are meant to be kept and not told.” He smirked and walked out, leaving me staring at his broad shoulders from behind.
“Babe, don't mind him. He is really creepy and dangerous.” Bernie turned to me and I smiled. “Stay away from him. He is danger.”
“Okay, I will.” I replied and also stood up. “I’ll go prepare dinner now.”
“Okay, I’ll head out to get some groceries too. Seems we've run out of them.”
In no time, Bernie was gone to get the groceries and I was home alone with Romania.
While I prepared dinner, I was praying desperately not to come across him until Bernie's return but it seems God wasn't on my side today.
“I guess you've never seen a live p**n before, have you?” His deep baritone voice spoke from behind, causing me to flinch but still didn't turn around.
“I have no idea what you're talking about.” I replied, giving the veggies I was chopping my full attention.
“You were peeping like a sneaky bitch just few hours ago. Don't Bernie satisfy you?” He asked once more, his voice even more closer.
“Please can you leave? I don't want Bernie to have the wrong idea.”
“What wrong idea? We aren't fucking, are we?” He smirked and grabbed a bottle of water.
“Stay away from my business and I'll do the same.” I said, turning around to look at him. “I'm being respectful because you're Bernie's older brother.”
“And what if I don't? What if I want more?” With each question, he was a
step closer and in no time, he was just an inch away from me.
“What if I want to have a taste of your pussy?”
NICOLE’S POVIt has been hours since Raymond left. I took my bath, wore a bikini, read some books and played with my phone, yet, I couldn't wait for Raymond to return.I was getting way too impatient and it was getting the best part of me.With a sigh, I rose from the bed, threw a hoodie and pants on then left the room with my phone.I might bore myself to death if I didn't leave my room.Upon getting downstairs, it was as silent as a graveyard. I guess Raymond gave the old woman in charge of the house a few days' break because of the forbidden acts we were about to commit.She knew Raymond is my foster brother and to her and everyone else. He was my real brother since we grew up together, but only both of us knew what kind of desires sparkled between us.It wasn't a platonic brother and sister relationship. It was way more than that. The fire in our eyes was threatening to consume us both, so before it does, we should fuck and get it out of our system.It would be a one time sex.Aft
NICOLE’s POVDuring breakfast, I tried as much as I could to avoid his gaze.Because if I looked him directly in the eyes, those forbidden thoughts buried deep within me would arise and in no time, I wouldn't be able to stop it.Raymond is my foster brother –a real brother and as his little sister, those thoughts should never cross my mind. “Are you okay?” Raymond asked, his elbows on the dining table and his brows furrowed in concern.I wasn't eating, just shifting uncomfortably on the chair, biting my lips and sweat clouded my forehead. Of course, he deserved to ask if I was okay, because I sure wasn't.“Yeah, I'm fine.” I nodded, forcing a smile, despite never meeting his eyes.Suddenly, the breakfast in front of me became the most important and precious thing to me at that moment. It saved my ass from looking at Raymond.“Cole, look at me.” He cooled but I pretended like I didn't hear him. “Fucking look at me Cole!” He slammed his fists against the table causing me to flinch as
NICOLE’S POV Waking up the next morning, a pang of headache hit me so hard that I rose from the bed with my head in my hands.I could barely see as the headache turned out to be the aftermath of last night drinking. Hangover.Looking around the room which I slept last night, my brows furrowed and my eyes narrowed.The room was nothing like my room, so whose room or rather, whose house was this?I looked around, trying to find my phone only to find out that I was in a total different clothes from what I wore to the club for my birthday party.Shit!My hands immediately flew to my mouth and my eyes widened like that of the moon.My jaw dropped to the ground that it was impossible to pick it up at that moment.Trying to ravage through my memories to find every pieces of last night sage, put them in order and find out what happened after I passed out.It was taking longer than expected to remember it all, but after what seems like forever, the memories came flooding in like a river.PREV
NICOLE’S POV Today happens to be my 20th birthday. I was now an official adults.“You look so beautiful in that dress, Cole.” My best friend, Lara said and I smiled widely, my cheeks turning crimson red due to her compliment.“Thank you, Lara. You also dress to kill, even more than the celebrant.” I said but she waved her hands at me, telling me I was overreacting.Since I was now a full grown woman, I decided to celebrate my birthday at a club/bar house.My friends from college all came and right now, the club was in all shades of vibes.I slumped to my seat, resting my head on the arm of the chair, looking so drunk.“The birthday isn't over, yet, you're so drunk, Cole. What's wrong with you?” Lara muttered and I gave her a sheepish smile, my eyes drowsy and half open.A sighed escaped my lips as I saw the text message from my mom from the tenth time since my birthday party started.It was a message to inform me that my foster brother was back from Ireland, after spending ten fuckin
I let out a deep breath, as I landed my back on the bed. I gazed up at Davis, who was smiling down at me, looking pleased with himself. "That was massive," he complimented, and I nodded in agreement.I couldn't deny that Davis was good in bed. He had known exactly how to touch me, how to make me feel good. But as I lay there, I couldn't help but compare him to Remington. Remington was on a whole different level when it came to sex. He knew exactly how to turn a lady on, how to make her panties get wet. He was so good, so skilled, that it was almost unfair to compare him to anyone else.But Davis wasn't bad either. At least he was better than Jerome, my ex-boyfriend. Jerome had been a disaster in bed, always fumbling and stumbling around like a clumsy teenager. Davis, on the other hand, had been smooth and confident, knowing exactly what he was doing.As I lay there, I bite my lower lip deductively, gazing at him. Davis leaned his face forward, planting a soft kiss on my lips. I gigg
As I walked out of my room, stretching my arms. Today is a free day, no classes, no test, no assignments. I had the whole day to myself. I grabbed my cellphone and headed downstairs to start my morning with a good meal and maybe another meal after that.As I reached the bottom of the stairs, I caught sight of my mom sitting in the living room, talking away on her phone. She had a big smile plastered on her face, and I wondered who she was conversing with over the phone But I didn't intend to listen to her conversation but as I did unknowningly, the smile plastered on my face turned to disgust. "You're free to come and check up on your wife," she said, her voice dripping with sweetness.My stomach twisted as I realized who she must be talking to. It was him - the guy I had met at the party last night, the one I had somehow gotten betrothed to without even realizing it.My mom had pushed me into this situation, trying to play matchmaker without even considering my feelings. And now,
I rested my right arm on the rail, looking interested. "You're pretty." I forced a smile onto my face, feeling a bit uncomfortable at his presence."I know I'm pretty, thanks for the compliment," I replied, still maintaining the fake smile as I glanced over at my stepfather.He was smiling and laughing with some people, with my mom cozied up in his arms. I felt my tummy tightening and pang of jealousy, wishing I was the one cozied up in his arms receiving all the adoration and attention but instead I'm stuck up with a stranger, forced to converse with him and made it look like I have interesting in his bullshit.My mom had introduced us just a little while ago, bragging about my academic excellence and trying to impress him.I don't know what kind of game my mom is trying to play but could it be she's trying to play the game of a matchmaker with the hope that things might hit off and a relationship will kickstart. If that's her game, I'm not going to participate in it because I'm not
As I walked into the dining room, I carefully placed the cup of milk on the table, trying not to spill a single drop. Then, I made my way over to Remy's side, where I snuggled up close to him, sitting comfortably on his thigh. I leaned in, pressing my lips deeply against his, feeling a rush of satisfaction.As we broke apart for a moment, Remy looked at me cockily like one about to pull up a stunt on me. "Mmm, is it fine if you miss school?" he asked, his voice low and husky. I gazed back at him, feeling a little surprised by his question. "You care about my studies?" I asked, my voice tinged with amusement.Remy's expression turned mischievous, and he uttered, "I want you to ditch school more often to have more sex with me, if it's possible." I couldn't help but burst out laughing at his raw, honest words. "I'll gladly do that," I responded, playfully handing him the glass cup of milk as I sprang up from his thigh.As I walked over to my bag, I couldn't help but feel a little self-
As I sat in front of the dining chair, I lazily held my fork, my eyes drifting towards Remington, who was eating his meal with a look of innocence. My mom was seated beside him, beaming with a bright smile as she gently kissed his lips, cleaning off the stain on his lips.At that moment I felt my throat drying up,my hands holding onto the fork tighter, slumping onto the chair further.Luna control yourself, "Fuck what's wrong with me?" Why is my throat getting dried, having the desires to be banged right now on the table screaming his name just because my mom had touched Remington's lips? I don't want this to make any sense . I quickly dropped my fork and reached for a glass of water, gulping it down in an attempt to shake off the sudden horniness I was feeling.Just then, my mom spoke up, "That reminds me, Luna." I coughed, almost choking on the water, and hastily set the glass down on the table. I turned my attention to my mom, trying to composed myself. "Anything, mom?" I asked,
