Chapter Six: Violet

I couldn’t think with my banging head so I pushed the thoughts to the back of my head as I stripped off my clothes.

I didn't bother to dry my hair and just wrapped it up in a towel, all I need right now is a bowl of egg noodles.

I wrapped a bathrobe around my nude body and made for the kitchen. I love this place because no overwhelming maids were scurrying about like other houses we lived in the past.

Some housemaids come to clean and all that but they don't stay past eight pm. It was past ten by now but I couldn't stop craving noodles.

Once I got to the kitchen, I got everything I needed for the meal and started my preparation. Soon a hot piping bowl of aromatic egg noodles was ready. I slurped the delicious delicacy in ecstasy.

I was cleaning up the used utensils when I felt a presence behind me. I didn't need to turn to know who it was.

"I'm craving late night meal too" His arms snake around my waist as he whispered to my ear, and the hair on my nape rose. His breath tingled the sensitive skin behind my ear just as his nose scraped the area lightly.

"What do you want?" I tried to think of any meal but the lewd thoughts forced themselves into my head.

His hands moved upward causing me to gasp as he grabbed my breasts and gave it a short squeeze.

"You know what" He replied like it was the most obvious thing.

I turned around to see his eyes hooded with lust as he stared down at my smaller frame.

"We are..."

"Step siblings with no blood relation" he cut me off and concluded with a raised eyebrow.

He is so hot!

"I agreed last night because you threatened me"

"I'm going to do that again"

His eyes shone under the light, evidence that he was enjoying whatever reaction he was getting from me.

What are my reactions under his scrutinizing gaze?

Fear? Maybe I was afraid that our parents would come down any moment.

Lust? Yes, I was dripping wet!

Denial? I'm not supposed to feel that way for my brother.

"Stepbrother" He corrected.

My eyes widened in surprise as he said that, did I say all those out loud?

Or did he read my mind?

Lucian's hands were slowly but surely riding up to dangerous places. His right hand had somehow slipped in between the bathrobe and was roaming my bare thigh, teasingly going up.

While his left hand was on my neck, a wild thought of him snapping my neck gave me chills, but the lust of evidence in his eyes assured me.

"What are you trying to do?"

"What does it look like? You sure love to ask obvious questions" His face leaned down, coming a few inches away from mine.

His breath... He drank? I could perceive the rich scent of fruity wine in his breath.

"Y…you are drunk" I tried to push him away, but those hard muscles beat against my skinny arms.

"No, it is a fruity wine. I have some more if you want". He leaned in further, his lips hovering over mine as his eyes bored into mine.

'Kiss me before I think of pushing you away' I wanted to yell, but I could only close my eyes and anticipate his like on mine.

"You were pushing me away just now. Why are you closing your eyes, expecting a kiss?" His voice was filled with obvious mockery.

I wanted to reply with a good comeback, but I couldn't think of any...wait!

"Your breath stinks and I don't want to see your face" I felt stupid as soon as I said that, is this my best? Kill me now!

I was in for a little surprise because Lucian's face twitched. I mean he's not offended, right?

"Really? Why don't you want to see my face?" He wheezed out as if trying to restrain his rage.

"That... That is... Uhm... You are "

Stop stuttering! I want to pull my hair so badly now. Why can't I be outspoken? Why can't I say mean things and not care about how he feels afterward?

"You can't say?"

"I don't want to see you or be around you, whether in school or at home" I blurted out.
