Autumn

“What kind of music do you like, Autumn?” Eric asked me tenderly.

“I like soft music,” I answered.

He turned on the stereo and a good music began to play. It was calm and relaxing, and not at all loud.

“This is refreshing,” I told Eric.

“I am glad you like it. I like soft music too. It helps me to relax and feel better,” he said.

“Me too,” I said with a smile.

He was driving at average speed, and since I didn’t know exactly where he was taking me, I just decided to relax. Ironically, I felt a little safe in his presence, or maybe it was because I could still recognize the paths he was driving through.

“So, you are not a local here,” Eric started.

“No, I am not,” I answered.

“And you wanted to try something new,” he said, repeating what I had said earlier.

“Yes, I did,” I responded.

“I am just curious,” he said. “Who did you come to visit?” He asked me.

This was an easy question that I could easily answer.

“My mum got married and moved down, and I only came to acquaint myself wi

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   My Turn Now

    DanteThe moment Mabel said that Autumn couldn’t make it to breakfast, I knew that she was avoiding me.It took all the self-control in me not to stand up right there and then and go to her room to ask her why she was avoiding me, but then I knew that I might fall into the temptation of having her in my arms. For the rest of the night after I returned to my bedroom, I had lived in regret.Not exactly for what we had done, but for the fact that after such unexplainable ecstasy, I had wished that I held her all through the night.“But you know that this is wrong, and if it gets out, there will be no going back,” my head had reminded my heart.And then, Autumn had skipped breakfast.I had tried to ignore the fact that she was deliberating staying away, but the thought kept gnawing at me. Every time I heard footsteps or felt like someone was coming, I always turned with speed, thinking and hoping that it would be Autumn, but every time, I had been wrong.And I knew that if I stayed in the

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Something Between Guilt And Pleasure

    AutumnWe had sex!“How could you?” I queried myself.This wasn’t something I should have done. There were so many reasons why this was very wrong!Dante was my freaking stepbrother. A day before, he had shot at a man in my presence and I thought him the worst and most dangerous man to ever exist. More importantly, his fiancée was just a couple of rooms away!Gosh, I felt disgusted.When I caught Abel cheating, it had broken my heart. He was the absolute love of my life and I thought I was going to die. For me, that was the worst kind of betrayal, and yet, I had done the same to another woman. It was even worse because she was under the same roof, and yet, I had the audacity to moan in pleasure.“This is so wrong,” I said to myself as I curled up in bed.I had woken up since morning and freshened up, but I couldn’t even, for the life of me, come out of the room. How could I after the despicable act that I just carried out? I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. I really felt di

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Forbidden Delight

    DanteAfter what Maria told me, I just couldn’t hold it in any longer.“She has no right,” I had fumed.Maria had tried to have a conversation with me, but I wasn’t having it, so much so that I left her and hurried upstairs to Autumn’s room to confront her.How dare she?I couldn’t even contain my rage.She brought her “charming boyfriend” to my house to have dinner while I was out there trying to keep her safe? My anger knew no bound.When I got close to Autumn’s room, a tiny voice in my head tried to tell me that I wasn’t angry that she had brought her boyfriend here…rather, I was stark jealous.It was bad enough to know that Autumn had a boyfriend, but being here in my house just threw me off the roof and I wasn’t having it, and the only thing I wanted to do right now was to confront her about it right away.“Excuse me?” Autumn asked me.“Don’t play dumb with me, Autumn,” I said and entered into the room, brushing past her.“You can’t just come in without being asked to,” Autumn sa

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Opening Up

    AutumnI stayed in the room trying to think of a way to get Abel to leave the city. A part of her knew that Abel would in some way, return, and she didn’t want that.He did not travel all the way here to just walk away like that.I knew Abel well enough, and he also did not stalk me for weeks only to give up this easily, so I would need to find a way to get him to leave. I would also have to leave, but first, Abel needed to. Then when I returned, I could eventually find a way to get a restraining order against him.My phone rang, stalling my thoughts. I picked up the call when I saw that it was Susan.“Autumn, I have been worried sick about you and trying to call you,” Susan said over the phone worriedly.I sighed deeply.“I guess I have just been unreachable,” I stated dully.“You left me worried and with a guilty conscience,” Susan said. “I just didn’t think that you wouldn’t want Abel anywhere near you,” she added.“I broke up with him, remember?” I said.The anger that had been bu

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   My Attention

    DanteI returned home when it was dark, but I didn’t get in immediately, and that was because I needed to make an important call.“I don’t think that is a good idea,” Dominic had tried to dissuade me earlier.We had spent ample time arguing back and forth about it, but I hadn’t budged. No one understood what I was feeling, so I didn’t expect them to go along with my decisions, and I was more than happy to handle it alone.“What then is a good idea?” I had asked, snapping at him. “Sending her back?” I had asked sarcastically.“That is the best option at this point and you know it, Dante,” Dominic had insisted again even though he knew that I was infuriated by it. “She is not a part of us. She doesn’t live here. She doesn’t know how things work around here, and she would definitely get back to her life,” he had continued.That part had dug a well in my heart.Yes, I knew that Autumn would have to return to the life she had always known and was accustomed to. As a matter of fact, she had

    Autumn“Right now?” My mum asked, confused at my abrupt demand. “Can’t this wait until after dinner?” She asked.“No, it can’t,” I said tightly.It was better now than later. I needed this freaking charade to end, and I would be relieved if I could get it to end before Dante arrived.“It can be like that with lovebirds sometimes, amore mio,” Mateo said, much to my exasperation. “Let them go and have their privacy,” he added suggestively and my mum blushed.Gosh, they were so annoying!It was either they couldn’t see how upset I was or they were just being ignorant and insensitive. As for my mum, I could excuse her, because she was never ever sensitive, but how could Mateo and Maria not notice my hostility or stiffness towards Abel?Anyway, that really didn’t matter to me right now. What mattered more was for me to be able to send Abel away from this house and out of my house in general.“Come with me,” I instructed Abel.He followed me, and I took him to Dante’s study which was downst
