“What happened?” Dominic asked as soon as he got to my house.

“Autumn has left,” I responded.

I continued calling her cell phone, but it kept going to voicemail.

“Shit!” I muttered in annoyance and frustration.

Just when I thought that we had gone past the stage of keeping her right here so that she wouldn’t make more mistakes, she went ahead to prove me wrong.

Monaco was on the loose, and he was threatening her, and even though I already asked Sanchez to take care of it, Autumn still needed to be right where she could be protected.

“Why does she enjoy putting herself in harm’s way?” I asked myself in exasperation.

“She left in your very presence?” Dominic asked with concern.

“Of course not,” I responded. “I took a short walk just to clear my head, and then when I got back, I was informed that she left,” I added, deliberately skipping the part where Camille had tried to have a conversation with me.

It wasn’t important, and Dominic never even knew what went on between us, and I i

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Stranded Damsel

    AutumnI dragged my bag along the road, but it was a pretty much lonely one, and so there were only trees around and no cars coming by.“Shit. I should have known better,” I muttered in exasperation.I had been walking for some minutes now, and I was already tired, patched, and my shoes were beginning to hurt badly.“What the heck? How did I get here?” I asked myself.Going back to the motel wasn’t an option for me because I had no money with me, and I couldn’t even pay for a room there no matter how cheap it was. Besides, I had already walked a long distance, and I didn’t think I had the strength to walk back.“I can’t believe Dante would do this to me,” I muttered again.I was so pissed that tears burned the back of my eyes, but I blinked them back inside.“Now isn’t the time to cry. Now is the time to think and act,” I told myself.But how would I do that?I didn’t even know where I was headed or where this road led to. Last night when we had gotten to the motel, I had slept the en

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Not Again

    Dante“Hello,” I said to the cashier I could find.“Hello, sir, good morning,” she responded with a warm smile.At least, there was someone with an atom of professionalism around here.“Is there something I can get for you?” She asked politely.“I would like to get some fuel,” I told her.I put some of the money I had with me on the desk in front of her. She took it and counted it, and when her face fell, I became more worried.“What’s wrong?” I asked her.I knew that the money wasn’t much, and that was because I never imagined that what happened to me would happen. I had spent most of it buying things that could last Autumn and I, thinking that when I got to the nearest terminal, I could withdraw or get some more money before we settled somewhere, but all that had changed now.“This is quite a low cash, sir, and it is only going to get you a small amount of petrol,” she explained calmly and politely.“Damn,” I muttered in frustration.I had already checked the map, and the road away

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Absence

    AutumnI hadn’t even realized that I had dozed off while I was waiting for Dante until I was woken up by the ray of early morning sunlight seeping in through the window.“Dante didn’t return to sleep in the room,” I stated to myself as I looked around.If he had returned, I would have known, but he hadn’t.After he stormed out of the room with his cell phone, I had waited for about three hours before I dozed off, and yet, Dante didn’t show up.“Where did he spend the night?” I asked myself worriedly.I got up and sat on the bed, thinking worriedly. I could bet that whatever he had seen that had made him leave the room in that manner must have been from either Dominic or his dad; those were the two people he had been trying hard to reach earlier.I picked up my phone and called Dante, but it went right to voicemail without even ringing, and that only made me more worried.“What could be wrong?” I asked myself.I wasn’t really pleased to be in such a worrisome state, and this was becaus

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   More Woes

    DanteWhen my phone beeped, I thought that it was from Dominic; maybe he was finally responding to my voicemails, but it wasn’t.The notification had come in from my bank, the one that was being mostly operated by the De Luca family.As soon as I got out of the room, I dialed the cell phone of the accountant, and while I waited for him to pick up, I walked away from the door.There was no way I would be able to speak in whispers with what I just saw, and again, I didn’t want Autumn to overhear any of my conversations, especially when it didn’t involve her. “Pick up!” I urged desperately.I got out of the motel and began to pace about.The night was cold and quiet, and my shirt was unbuttoned, but I wasn’t thinking of that right now. The only thing I wanted was to get through to the accountant. It was important that I did. It was quite late, but I didn’t give a damn.If they could send me a message at this time of the night, they could definitely be awake to pick up my call.“Pick up

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Desire Over Logic

    AutumnDante’s words were arousing, and they made my cheeks heated up immediately, but I turned to the other side so that we wouldn’t have to act on the desire that his singular statement had aroused, and that was because I was thinking of something else.I overheard of all Dante’s conversation with his dad, and his attempts at trying to reach Dominic, and they were quite disturbing.I didn’t like the fact that Dante was hiding almost everything from me, and yet, he kept pulling me towards his direction.I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep, but the thoughts wouldn’t leave me alone.And that was when I felt it; Dante’s hot breath at the back to my neck and his erection poking me from behind.“What is going on?” I asked, but surprisingly, my voice was very low and husky, and I didn’t even realize that I was still feeling the effect of his statement until I spoke.If I had known, I would have kept quiet and pretended that I wasn’t feeling anything, but how could I have achieved that

  • Forbidden Desire: Tempted By My Stepbrother   Silence

    DanteI cleared my throat and said, “I will give you some privacy to do anything you need to do before getting ready for bed,” I said.And then I turned and walked out of the room.Autumn was really a handful, and I always forgot how she could be until she revealed that side of her again. I didn’t want to get frustrated by her actions, so it was best I gave her some space, and also, I didn’t want to think so much about how small and cramped the bed was.However, I stayed close to the door.I brought out my cell phone and checked my phone, and to my surprise, Dominic hadn’t called me, not even once. I didn’t think about it because I had been driving all day and trying to make up my mind on where to go, and now that I was looking at my phone, it felt weird.“Not even a call or a text message,” I muttered to myself.This wasn’t like Dominic.Usually, he would have called several times or even texted, just to check up on me and find out where I was, but he hadn’t, and it made me a little
