Chapter eleven

Florian pov;

Throughout the rest of the day, I didn't see Jethson. And the mansion seemed like he was not there.

At dinner we both kept stealing glances at each other, Jethson tapped his foot against the floor as if he was being impatient. Our parents are lost in whatever conversation they are having.

I turned to my right side, unable to sleep. My stomach churned, I am hungry again. I stepped down from my bed, I should go get some snacks.

I walked out of my room and headed to the kitchen, everywhere was in dim light. And I can't see really well in the dark, so I walked into the huge kitchen and found the fridge.

I opened it and started grabbing my favorite snacks and juice as I turned to place the snacks on the island. I bumped into Jethson who was standing behind me without knowing.

I nearly shouted, “what are you doing here?” I asked him, brushed past him and placed my snacks on the island and back to the fridge to take out a bottle of water.

“Why are you awake?” Jethson asked?

“I couldn't sleep so what are you doing here too?”

“I couldn't sleep too, so I went for a run” he replied, “Just came back and I saw you going into the kitchen.”

“Okay, Good night” I said, I need to get out of here. 

“Good night” he answered, I was hoping he would ask me to wait. Maybe sit together and talk without discussing the kiss and act like we tolerate ourselves.

I had almost reached the door to the kitchen when he stopped me.

“Florian” he called, I turned to him.

“Yes?”

“Can we at least tolerate ourselves for this night?” He asked, I couldn't see his face clearly in the dim light but his tone was soft.

“I wasn't the one who couldn't tolerate it,” I replied. He laughed.

“You have a nick for starting an argument” he spoke, “Just for tonight” 

“So what are you saying we should do?” I asked him.

“Watch a movie with me” He said,

“I— okay” I shouldn't agree to this, the way my wolf reacts to him is bad. My wolf is a little strange and off, To be clear, I and my wolf don't really understand some emotions. 

He walked towards me, when he reached me. He stared down at me, our eyes met, I didn't look away.

I almost thought he was going to kiss me but he didn't, he brushed past me and pushed the door open. “This way” he said and stepped out of the kitchen.

I followed him out, I thought we were going to the Living area until he took the steps. I followed him halfway to the stair before stopping, are we going to his room?

He also stop and turned to me when he noticed I wasn't following him anymore, “Why did you stop?” He asked.

“I don't think we should go into your room for the movie, I mean we can stay in the living area” I said to him.

Then I heard the laughter more like wheezing. “We are not going to my room, Florian. We are using the theater that is upstairs” he said, he stepped closer “I am not going to touch you, I should be the one worried. You have an habit of kiss everyone”

I scoffed, I knew what he was implying, the kiss. I was the one who kissed him. “That was a mistake and I was drugged.”

He walked away from me without replying to me, I didn't follow him. “Are you coming?”

I nodded and started walking after him, Jethson pushed the door open. And inside is a theater that I don't know this mansion have.

We walked further into the theater, Jethson moved to the screen and I settled on a cushion.

“What movie do you want to watch?”

“I don't know, I haven't watched one in a while” I answered honestly.

Thankfully he didn't turn to me and look at me weird, “okay…” 

He sat beside me after he picked a movie, I didn't say anything, letting my eyes glued to the screen as I opened a bag of chips and started eating out of it.

We watched the movie in silence, halfway into the movie. Jethson already scouted closer.

I tried to focus on the movie and not to look at Jethson. Trying to force my eyes glued on the TV was hard.

My eyes started to strain, I have to remind myself not look at him but my eyes has a mind of it. I turned to Jethson,he watching the movie, unshaked and calm unlike me.

“What are you staring at?” 

His voice cut me out of my trance, I was shocked. So I quickly looked away. 

“Nothing.”

Jethson didn't say anything at first then he leaned closer which made me shift backwards.

He pushed me down and leaned in completely, our forehead touching. “What—are you doing?” I questioned, my voice was shaking. Not from fear but excitement.

My heart beat increased, my wolf literally jumped against my sickness. his lips brushed against mine, I gasp into his mouth as I opened up for his 

All my senses tell me to push me, we are supposed to be doing this. This is forbidden.

But I didn't. I kissed him back harder, breathing hard.

Not until his hand reached for my pyjamas pants did I snap out of it, I pushed him back. 

I breathed heavily, sitting up. Jethson frowned. “We shouldn't be doing this, we are step brothers.” I stand up, “I am sorry”

I adjusted my clothes and walked towards the door, “We can have sex, you know get it out of our system. We both want each other” Jethson’s voice stopped me, he said it like it is the most normal thing to say.

“Just once, it is not as if we are real brothers. Just us to get out of our system then we forget that it never happens” he continued, my heart dropped.

“I don't want to sleep with you,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Are you scared, Florian, no one will catch us” Jethson said, trying to convince me. I shook my head vigorously. 

“No” I answered, walking out of the theater.

I can't let my first time be like this no, it is not going to be some random hook up with my step brother.
