Emma's POV I didn't expect what Chase pulled After a long and eventful trip, all I wanted was to get back home to rest. Apparently, he had other plans, I still wasn't sure how I felt about him since that night. And the rumors throughout the day too were not helping matters. Chase changed the destination of our ride to an A class hotel I always heard the girls in school talk about. It was where most of them lost their virginity, the other few did in their rooms. It was always the top on every girl's list, and where they expected their boyfriends to take them to. I found it a bit cringe that it was the only place Chase could think of, but the ambience, location and grandeur of it answered all my questions. I decided to live in the moment and not think about how I really felt coming to a hotel with my step brother. Chase took my hand all the way, acting like the gentle man he wasn't. He looked really hot and sexy in a tuxedo. My train of thoughts derailed from safety to sex.
Emma's POV โI'm sorry, I haven't had a shave in a while.โ I apologized to him. I was ashamed of the amount of hair he was going to discover on my vagina. โI eat candy off the rug baby girl.โ He replied smiling. โNow lean back.โ He commanded. Like his obedient little puppy, and like a girl who was ready to have her brains fucked out, Chase locked and sucked on my inner thigh, from my knee to the edge of my pussy. He did it a couple of times, leaving my heart racing and wanting more. I hadn't figured that part of myself yet. โCan your fingers do it this well?โ He asked me, slipping his index finger in and out. โJust do it.โ I replied, shakily. โNo.โ That was his firm answer. โWhy?โ I asked. โShut up.โ I hadn't discovered that part of Chase too. I kept quiet and let him do his thing. He got a phone call at that moment, I was pissed at the universe for always finding new ways to embarrass me. Reluctantly, he went out to receive it, while I waited, horny and wet.
Emma's POV I was sorely mistaken. I understood the power Chase had on the girls in school. If he was that good after a three day trip, when all everyone wanted to do was rest, then he definitely was H I M! I got back home to my mom and Mark getting at it in the living room, shamelessly. Ridden with too much moral guilt to talk, I went up as quietly as I could. I was ready to forget what happened, but with every thing I did, my mind always seemed to wander back there. It was not something I could forget in a jiffy. โHey. How was your trip?โ Mom asked the next morning. My legs felt like spaghetti. โIt was nice.โ I answered curtly. I had only begun to feel guilty. The last night was magic, the next day was hell to pay. She looked quite unsatisfied. โDid anything spectacular happen?โ My mom asked, pressing further. โWhat is supposed to be spectacular about a trip?โ I asked her. โEverything. I mean, it's a new experience.โ She replied. I was used to my mom taking bre
Emma's POV It was the second time I went down on a man, my first being only yesterday. โHow was it? Really?โ He asked. I didn't have much experience in that department,but I heard enough stories about stuff like that to know that guys barely gave a shit whether they performed well or not. All they did was come and go, literally. โI don't have anything to compare it to.โ I replied. Still bent on nit giving him the satisfaction of knowing that he had fucked my brains out. โIt's okay to now be able to think straight. That's what happens when you get piped real good.โ Chase was zipping up his pants. โYou're so fucking full of yourself.โ I said. He slapped my legs closed, went to the door and unlocked it. โThat's how you are when you're just too good.โ He said. The weekend passed in a blur and it was back to school. I tried to avoid Chase, but he didn't seem to be in my way so much. I was beginning to have second thoughts about it. Maybe he finally decided I wasn't worth
Chaseโs POV Mr Rudd and I had a showdown in the class. I could hear the sound of Emma's breath. She was having a hard time keeping up with reality. And I couldn't blame her. Many would call what I was doing โlove bombingโ, and I wished I could make it easier for her, but that was just how it worked for me. โSorry about thatโ I apologized to her as she took her seat again. โIs this really what you want? You're trying so hard to ruin me, can you stop?โ Emma was in tears. It hurt to hear that that was what she really thought of me. โEmma, do you really think I saved you a seat to make fun of you?โ I asked her. She was pained and I understood that, but she was being irrational too. โThat's a bit unfair.โ โUnfair is coming to school half scared I could have a baby in my stomach and having to be the clown in my first class. That's what unfair sounds like.โ She replied. I didn't want to draw Mr Rudd's attention further, else I risked a more serious confrontation with him.
Emma's POV I felt like Kevin made me feel when Chase didn't show up. We were to meet by four pm at the bottom of the stairway. I missed a class and wanted forty five minutes for someone who wasn't in school. Unfortunately, Jessica and her new man, who surprisingly happened to be Mr Rudd already had their minds on the bottom of the stairway too for their make out session. I heard all sorts of obscenities. I wished I could block their sound, but if I made the slightest movement, they'd have heard. I endured the harrowing experience for twenty five of the forty five minutes I was stood up. The last half of the day was a blur. Firstly, Chase got on Mr Rudd's nerve cause of me, then he stood me up. It made no sense, but I couldn't talk to anyone about it, because what we had wasn't ideal in the first case. I went home with hopes of seeing Chase there. I wasn't so keen on it, but it sure would have helped. Chase wasn't home either. The maid he was fucking the first time I saw hi
Lily's POV Grayson and Emma had a small bit of background in common, but I didn't want to let Emma know about it. I've not been fortunate with men, or boys. I really wanted Gray and I to last, till, well, forever. Gray and Emma grew up in the same town. Then his dad remarried when he was about six years old and moved him from Starry town to County City. Emma too grew up in Stary town. Gray went back to see his mom and step siblings a few days after our shopping spree and two days before the Senior Trip. He came back a different person, but not to me, thankfully. He began to withdraw from Chase and Emma which I found weird. He and Chase were like two peas in a pod, I wouldn't have been with him because of how close he was to Chase, but I also knew Chase would never say anything about it, so I took my chances with being with Chase's brother from another mother. Gray didn't seem to want to do stuff with Emma anymore, and I guess since she became Chase's new fancy, it kinda rub
Graysonโs POV Days before the school trip, Mom called to come see her and I thought I could squeeze in a day or two. I took the three hour trip from County to Starry town. It was still just how I remembered it. Everything was the exact same, except my mom. She was with someone else, but she wasn't too happy and didn't look good either. โHey Ma.โ I said, as soon as I got in. โHey baby. How are you?โ She asked, โI'm fine ma.โ I replied to her. โI don't know what to say of you though.โ I said, daring to talk about something I knew could be sensitive to her. โJust say it, Son, say it.โ She said, โMom, you look bad.โ I said. I didn't like seeing her like that. She had two more sons from her other marriage. โIt's not his fault,โShe said. โThat's all the answer I need mom. I didn't even ask if it was him.โ I replied, pissed. โGray, this isn't your battle to fight. I have to stay for Mike and Jerry.โ She said, more to herself than to me. We had the discussion over
Emma's POV โWe are both hurt. I think it's better we realize that and stop shaming the other person. Emma, you're just as damaged as I am.โ Chase said. โThat's not rocket science, Chase. Isn't this how you leave everyone you've been with?โ I asked, โBroken and damaged?โ โThat's unfair, Em. You keep skipping the fact that there are always two sides to anything.โ He replied to me. โYou think I did, Chase?โ I looked at him in his sinfully sexy blue eyes I still hadn't gotten an antidote to, not even the anger I felt, โAll I did was allow you. I made you do all you did to me. In a way, I even enabled you.โ โThat's untrue, and you know it.โ He replied to me. โI've talked about this, over and over. In my head and out of it, and it's still the same conclusion I reach.โ I responded to him. โIf โout of your headโ in any way refers to the bastard up there, I don't think I want to hear it.โ I replied to her. โYou've gotta get over yourself, Chase.โ I said. โThere's life
Chase's POV โYou're still here, Em. It means you're interested.โ I said. โI'm not comfortable here.โ She said in a low voice. โI'd be in the garage, meet me there.โ I said. โMaybe this is your time to show how low you regard me.โ I let go of her hand which I had in mine, doing it both lightly and seductively. I knew I walked with such swagger, such essence that couldn't betray how scared I felt deep inside. Maybe she'd realize that I wasn't worth shit, and just go upstairs to meet her little boyfriend. I sat in my favorite of my dad's lot, the black mustang I saved Emma's ring in. That particular car had so many memories. I wanted to be in. I checked the time on my Patek, it was a few minutes to midnight. The estate gate was gonna be locked by 00:00, and if I couldn't make it out by then, I'd be stuck with Em and that bastard. 23:53, I had begun to get antsy. It'd be really unfortunate if I left, and Em eventually came down. I kept telling myself to calm down and b
Emma's POV โCan I trust you?โ I asked Chase. I was mentally drained. Having played the good daughter throughout the anniversary, I wanted to catch my breath. Little did I know I had just been walking straight into Chaseโs arms. โYou know you can, Em.โ He said, enthusiastically. โI'd hold your secret against me, Em. I wouldn't even tell myself.โ His eyes mirrored mine, tired, hunger of the soul, and exhaustion. I couldn't believe that it was the same person who acted like I didn't exist last night. โI don't know where I stand with Kevin, really.โ I said what I'd forbidden myself to. I made a deal with my mind to never say it. Just so I didn't believe it. The more I said something, the more I was forced to believe. โStart from the point where you left me, Em. I want to know it all.โ He said, looking downI hated when Chase had that pensive look on his face. It felt like he was just a slight provocation away from murder. โAfter us,โ I started, my mind was a bit foggy
Chase's POV โWhat did you do that for?!โ Emma yelled after landing me a slap to the cheek. โI already said I wasn't gonna let you go.โ I replied stubbornly. โChase, my arm is hurting.โ She cried, referring to the arm I'd been holding. I felt like a nasty person. Maybe it was the universe providing answers to the question I'd asked so many times, โAm I not good enough for her?โ Well, I now knew I was too violent, too relentless, too impulsive, I rarely rethought my decisions, I bent everything to my will, things had to suit me, always. And those were all the things Emma stood against. โEmma, I'm a damaged guy, and I know it's really not your job to fix me. I'm a sorry project who should've belonged to my late mom and my dad who's now a happily remarried man. I get it. No one wants a project. But this is me swearing that I'd never hurt you, Em. I've learned. I do better for myself these days.โ I said, frantically. Emma was rubbing her arm where I grabbed her, a sorry rem
Chase's POV. โIt's not good that I'm too close to you, Chase.โ Emma cried. Her eyes were already tearing up, and her face wet. Her rosy cheeks were beginning to peek from beneath the light make-up. โWhy, Emma?โ I asked her, letting my mouth say all the things my heart felt. โAm I so bad?โ I asked. โI never said anything like that.โ She answered. โSo what is it?โ I asked, exhausted. โWhy do you want to be away from me so bad? Why do you treat me with such a long spoon? You can't deny missing me, Em. I see it in your eyes. What is holding you back?โ I dared reach for her trembling hands, and she didn't pull away. It was a good thing. โChase, I just still find it so hard to process. I'd rather think about things that hurt me, than process the whole thing. The past year has been the most tumultuous part of my life yet. I'm so fucking drained, I just need peace.โ She said, โAnd you think that description doesn't fit me.โI asked, against my better reasoning. I then remi
Chaseโs POVโI didn't think you'd be here.โ She said,โI could say the same.โ I replied to her Emma was the last person I thought who'd want to catch a break from the ceremony.She was at the center of it all, and really did well at her job of role playing a perfect daughter.โIt's too much.โ She replied with a low voice.โWhat is?โ I asked, clearing my throat. โThe atmosphere.โ She explained, kicking the grass in her stilettos. Her legs looked like they must've been hurting. โHere.โI gave way for her to sit on her favorite swing. I could never take that away from her. โThank you.โ Emma was being her generic self, the side that she showed everyone else. Shy and contained. But I didn't like that. I liked that Emma I fell for, headlong. โIt's nothing to Chaseโs POV โI didn't think you'd be here.โ She said, โI could say the same.โ I replied to her Emma was the last person I thought who'd want to catch a break from the ceremony. She was at the center of it all, and really
Chase's POV I wished I could remain busy throughout the day. A time to rest meant a time to think. I was under the same roof as Emma, like I'd been wanting, but we were yet so far apart. The flowers were an ill thought decision, but I had to do something. Being in the same house with Emma for over three days was beginning to mess with my mental health. โYou shouldn't have done that.โ I said to myself. If only Emma had kept it a family thing and didn't have that one over, things would have been a lot easier. I intentionally left a note out of the flower delivery, but I knew she recognised the sender, irregardless. Before I knew it,my 5:30 alarm went off, and I had to throw on my tux as fast as I could. It'd be great if my dad and Linda got down to a full audience waiting for them. It was a really big deal for my dad, so big he had made arrangements for his helicopter to pick them both at ten o'clock. Linda was wearing a slick floor length satin dress in emerald green, paired
Emma's POVI decided to see my mom before the dinner. I didn't care if it was right or wrong, but I'd barely seen her all through the day and I was dying to know how she was holding up. Maybe an escape for myself was the other motive, but primarily, I wanted to know how she was doing. โHey mom.โ I said, pushing her door open. It almost felt like it was her wedding all over again. Mark was going all out. And I didn't know why it had to be that big for a guest list of just sixteen people. โThis is a lot.โ I smiled. โIt is.โ I saw the woman beneath all the makeup, hair glam, and accessories. She was still just my mom. โCan I have a moment with my daughter please?โ She referred to everyone else in the room who wasn't me, and they, by my rough headcount, were about eight. โWe can spare only about half an hour.โ A kind lady who looked like she was in her thirties said, She had an outrageous makeup done. While it looked good, edgy, classy on her, I hope that wasn't gonna be my
Emma's POV. โYou were gonna go in.โ He said, looking away. โI was.โ I replied, unshifting. He no longer had the courage to stare me down, and I no longer had the will to leave, โMIT looks good on you.โ He said. โThank you.โ I smiled, โI could say the same for you.โ โI see you've made new friends, well old ones,but you knowโฆโ He said. I chuckled within myself. Who'd have known that I could make the bad boy Chase unsure about me? โYeah, I had no choice.โ I murmured. โUhm, how are you?โ I asked, just out of courtesy, I told myself. I thought being brave and bold was gonna make me indestructible by him, but I was beginning to come off as antagonistic, and I didn't like it. Deep down, in the corners of my heart I hoped Kevin would never see, Chase occupied it. I wanted for him to close the distance between us like he'd once done. To treat me like his own. I was getting a little teary, so I dug my freshly manicured nail into my palm, I wasn't gonna cry, I could not.
