Lavender:

I don't think I’ve ever felt so awkward around someone the way I felt in the water with Nikon. It was also weird, the way he saved me, but then took his time getting me out of the water. The way his eyes lingered on my face, the way he chose his words so teasingly, I felt a strange tingle in my chest.

There was no denying he was a very good-looking man, but he had done messed-up things, so I’m glad nothing else happened.

Still, the possibility of something happening has actually increased in my mind now. He seemed more open to the idea of intimacy, or maybe I was just reading too much into it.

I mean, he had a habit of teasing me, so he was probably just doing it to make me feel lesser about myself later on, when he reminded me I gave in too quickly. So, I didn’t want to ponder too much on it.

I sneezed once again while sitting on the bed, wiping my nose over and over. I had changed into a brown dress, but my hair was still wet.

I think I was just a little too sensitive, bec

  • Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned   238-He Made It Special

    Lavender:“Were you angry back there that she was hitting on me?” Nikon asked, making me shift in my seat on the couch. We had returned home after I lost my appetite, and Nikon had sensed it, so he excused us. I liked how attentive he was to details. If only he were the husband of my choice.Once we got home, he ordered food for me. I ate plenty, and now I was back on the couch, ready to sleep.“I wasn’t. I just don’t like people seducing someone and then acting like they were the victim. And from the looks of it, I could tell you were going to reject her, and she would make up a lie just to frame you,” I said everything I had been rehearsing in my head throughout the car ride. I had a feeling I had acted a bit aggressively back there, so I knew Nikon was definitely going to bring it up.“Hmm, interesting,” Nikon said, taking off his shirt after coming out of the bathroom post-shower to get ready for bed.“But Lavender, what makes you think I would’ve rejected her?” He turned to me, e

  • Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned   237-The Little Seductress

    Lavender:The girl was pretty, but she seemed quite weirdly attracted to Nikon. I have seen her bite her bottom lip when her brother was speaking to Nikon. And then she spilled the drink on Nikon. I had to calm him down because it seemed like he was going to lose his mind."How about I take you to the restroom," she said to Nikon. Her eyes were wide, and she was blinking them quite softly and dramatically. I was not born yesterday. I have seen girls act like this around men that they are attracted to, and like I said, she was. It was pretty obvious."Yeah, sure," Nikon said under his breath.As he walked away, I watched her follow him upstairs. I stood still, watching them disappear, and then something started to itch me. I did not like her going after him. The way she was checking him out had already led me to believe I could not trust her. But then again, why was I so concerned? It is not like we married out of love.After a few minutes of silently looking around and feeling uncomfo

    Nikon:I watched her come out of that room in a red dress, and I must say, I forgot what I was saying or what instructions I was giving to my man on the phone. It was a pretty important call, and I just lost my words. I didn’t want to admit it, but she was the most gorgeous thing I had ever laid eyes on.Before that, I didn’t want to acknowledge that I’d noticed her beauty. I didn’t even want to compliment her. I didn’t want to have those kinds of feelings for her. I had been fighting them for a while, and it was obvious, whenever she was in trouble, I would go to save her myself. Normally, I’d just send my guards to help someone, but this was different.Still, I didn’t want her to get involved in the mafia business. So I stayed away from her. I thought, ‘Hmm, maybe it’s better this way— that she stays just a stepsister.’ Even then, I was slightly confused. Worried. She was too pure and didn’t deserve to be surrounded by such toxic people.But she was stuck with her mother; that evil

    Lavender:I grunted, quickly covering my chest with my hands, even though I was wearing a tiny nightdress with a shiny robe layered over it.“You're so shameless,” I snapped.“What?” He looked genuinely confused.“I looked at your breasts, and I told you! You checked me out, and then you denied it. So who's the manipulator here? Who’s being shameless? You! Just admit what you were doing, damn it. It’s not like I—” he paused, then chuckled to himself.“What? What’s so funny?” I demanded, needing to know what the hell was going through his head.He stopped laughing, tilted his head, and looked at me with half-lidded eyes that somehow made him look even sexier.“It’s not like I tasted your breast,” he said, the tone in his voice making me freeze.I held my breath and looked down. I had no comeback, no excuse, nothing.“You know,” he said as he lay down, resting his hand under his cheek, “one of these days, we should have a competition.”As usual, that came out of nowhere.“What competiti

    Lavender:“Nothing. I was just worried that if anything happened to you, I’d be stuck here without help. So don’t get any ideas,” I hissed, or at least I tried to.He casually shoved his hands into the pockets of his shorts and stood there, eyes narrowed, head tilted.“You know what, wifey!” he said in an overly dramatic, mock-spooky tone, “screw what I said. This place is quite dangerous.”“Ha ha ha. You can’t scare me anymore,” I said, folding my arms confidently over my chest. “I saw there’s nothing out there that could climb.”“Are you sure, Lavender? Nothing can?” he asked, taking one step forward.My posture wavered a little.“I know. Besides, you said your men are all around here, so we’ll be fine, right?” I reminded him.He pouted and nodded slowly, almost like he was saying, Hmm, I hear you.“But Lavender,” he said, “do you remember that man who came into our mansion? The one led in by my own guards?”My cocky smile faded instantly.“How do you know none of my men here is cor

    Lavender:I steadily looked around while my heart pounded in my chest. I was new to this place. I mean, of course, anyone on vacation is in a new place, even if they've been there many times. But this mansion was actually quite scary, also because it was so isolated, surrounded by forest-like terrain, big trees, and water. I was kind of scared.So when the third sound came, I began to tiptoe back to Nikon's room. Now the real problem was, how would I wake him up? What if he was an aggressive waker? You know, the kind of people who suddenly attack when you wake them up? And with someone like Nikon, I could expect that.I tiptoed next to his bed and stood there, rubbing my palms anxiously. But then it hit me, if I didn’t wake him up now, the burglar might cause us harm. And given Nikon's status and rank, he had more enemies than friends, so it could be one of them.I took a deep breath and hunched down to wake him up.“Nikon,” I whispered, my eyes on the ajar door to make sure nobody co
