LOGIN“You don’t kiss your sister,” I whispered, taking a step closer to him. “You don’t touch your sister the way you touched me.” Another step. “You definitely don’t get down on your sister.” Liam’s jaw tightened, his green eyes darkening with restrained desire. But his voice stayed calm. Controlled. “We’ll pretend it never happened.” The night Vera was supposed to move into her new stepfather’s mansion, she went to a party hoping to forget her painful breakup. Instead, she met Liam. Tall. Gorgeous. Dangerous. What started as a reckless attempt to make her ex jealous turned into a night she couldn’t stop thinking about. A night that left her addicted to the taste of a stranger with sinful green eyes. Then morning came with a cruel surprise. Liam wasn’t a stranger. He was her new stepbrother. Living under the same roof should have ended whatever happened between them. Liam is determined to keep his distance, pretending their chemistry means nothing. But Vera has never been good at walking away from what she wants. And she wants Liam. No matter how forbidden he is. Now every shared glance feels electric, every argument turns heated, and every moment alone threatens to destroy the lines Liam is desperately trying to keep intact. Because resisting Vera might be the one thing Liam can’t do forever.

"I saw him with a new girl, Anita." My eyes would not leave Andrea across the crowded party hall. A blonde girl was sitting on his lap while he whispered something into her ear that made her laugh very loudly. My chest hurt badly. After I lost my dad in a fire accident when I was fourteen. Watching the house burn, fire fighters moving my dad's burnt body, tears in my eyes and a sense of loneliness. I despised anyone leaving me. "Do you think the sex was not good enough? Maybe that is why he left me." "Take your eyes off him, bestie." Anita quickly grabbed my chin and turned my face away from them. The colorful club lights flashed across her face while her eyebrows came together in a worried frown. "We are here to have fun tonight, Vera." Her voice went above the loud music. "Show him what he is missing." I said her words slowly again. "Show him what he is missing." Something dangerous woke up inside me. A small smile slowly moved across my lips. "Bad night... but I will miss you, girl." Anita screamed excitedly before wrapping both arms around my waist. "Me too! But we have to have fun tonight and forget about Andrea." She stepped back with a big smile. "Best friends forever." I laughed softly. "Forever." Tonight was my last night in Cheville. This night, my mum and I would leave to her new husband's house. Another school. Another life. But I was outside trying to have fun without my mum's permission. Everything was changing too quickly. And Andrea breaking up with me without any reason only made everything worse. Anita said we should go out tonight instead of staying home and crying over him. So now we were here at some rich guy's party. Expensive drinks. Loud music. Sweaty bodies. Strangers dancing closely against each other under dim flashing lights. "I will go get more drinks!" Anita shouted over the music. I nodded without really thinking and kept moving slowly with the beat. The air felt very hot. My head was already feeling light from the alcohol. Then suddenly… My body crashed hard into someone. "Oh sorry!" we both said at the same time. We stopped. Then laughed. I looked up… And the air left my lungs completely. Jeez. The man standing in front of me was huge. He was so tall that I had to lift my head all the way back to look at his face properly. Wide shoulders. A sharp jaw. Dark hair that looked a little messy, like he had been pushing his fingers through it all night. But his eyes were the thing that stopped me completely. Green. Soft green eyes that immediately reminded me of my very first crush back in kindergarten. His name was Peter. But this man looked nothing like innocent little Peter. This one looked dangerous. "Hi," he said in a smooth, calm voice, his lips curving into a smile. "What is your name?" My eyes dropped to his lips for just a second before going back to meet his gaze. "Vera." "And yours?" "Liam." He paused before continuing. "Who are you here with?" His deep voice moved through me slowly, like warm water. For a moment, neither of us said anything. Then I felt it. Andrea staring. My eyes moved across the room quickly and found him. His jaw looked tight now. His eyes were fixed directly on Liam standing close to me. Good. Anita's words came back into my head again. ‘Show him what he is missing.’ A slow smile spread across my lips. "Let us leave here," I said suddenly as I grabbed Liam's hand. "I cannot hear you properly." His eyebrows went up a little like he found this funny, but he followed me without any hesitation. The warmth of his hand around mine sent heat spreading through my stomach. We walked upstairs while the loud music slowly became quieter behind us. My heart was beating faster now. Partly because of anger. Partly because of excitement. And partly because it had been three full weeks since I last got laid. Three very frustrating weeks. My body had been craving touch so badly it was making me crazy. One of the reasons why Andrea's break up is getting to me. I pushed open the first door upstairs. I immediately froze. A couple was inside. The girl was sitting on a table while the guy kissed her hungrily, his hand pushed under her thighs. Their clothes were scattered carelessly all over the floor. They did not even notice us. I shut the door quickly. But what I had just seen already stirred something deep and low inside me. When I turned around, Liam was watching me closely. His eyes slowly moved down to my mouth. Without even thinking, I bit my lower lip. The tension between us became very thick immediately. He stepped closer. "What do you want?" he asked quietly. The low, warm tone of his voice sent a shiver all the way down my spine. I stared at him for one long second. Then I made my decision. If this was what showing Andrea what he lost meant… Then I wanted all of it. I moved first. Standing on my toes, I reached for Liam's neck, but he was too tall for me. A small amused smile appeared on his lips before he bent down lower for me. The moment our lips touched, heat exploded through my whole body. He opened his mouth right away, letting me make the kiss deeper. And God… It felt desperate. Hungry. Like both of us had been starving for a very long time. My fingers held tightly onto his neck while his hand grabbed my backside roughly. A gasp escaped me into the kiss. Electricity rushed through my entire body instantly. My skirt was already short, and I wanted his hands underneath it so badly it almost hurt. His palm slid beneath my top. I had no bra on. A low sound escaped him when he realised. His hand wrapped around my breast right away, squeezing gently before his thumb brushed slowly over my nipple. I moaned against his lips. The sound only made him kiss me harder. Suddenly someone shouted from somewhere further down the hallway. "Get a room!" I broke away from the kiss, breathing fast and hard. My lips already felt swollen. My chest was rising quickly. I looked up at Liam. "Let us get a room." His hand settled firmly on my waist as we moved to the next door. I pushed it open carefully. Empty. The room was dimly lit, the bulb flickering slightly like it could go off at any moment. The moment we stepped inside, Liam shut the door behind us. I turned around slowly. "Are you okay with us hooking up?" I asked. "Totally." His answer came immediately. A nervous laugh came out of me. "So..." I started, feeling a little awkward. "Should we get to know each other a little first?" "Hm." That was all he said before he started walking toward me. The look on his face changed completely. Darker now. Very intense. Without thinking, I stepped backward. One step. Two. Until the back of my knees hit the edge of the bed and I fell onto it with a soft gasp. Liam climbed onto the mattress immediately, placing himself above me and caging me underneath him. My breath caught in my throat. God, he was big. He held my face gently but firmly with both hands. I swallowed hard. Then he kissed me. Harder than before. His hand slid into my hair, holding softly before pulling slightly. Pleasure rushed through my body so fast that I moaned into his mouth. His lips slowly left mine, moving downward. My neck. His tongue brushed warm against my skin while his teeth grazed lightly across my throat. I arched my whole body up beneath him immediately. "Liam..." I breathed, my voice shaking. His hand slid slowly down my waist. I quickly reached for his trousers. He had no belt on. Easy. My fingers slipped inside. The second my hand wrapped around him, Liam groaned against my neck. Hot. Hard. I stroked him slowly, enjoying every sound he made. But suddenly he caught my wrist gently and pulled my hand away. "No rush, darling." His voice sounded rougher now. Those words sent heat curling deep through my stomach. He sat back slightly before pulling my top completely over my head. Cool air touched my bare skin. Liam stared openly at my breasts. The raw hunger in his eyes made my thighs press together on their own. He grabbed one breast while lowering his mouth onto the other. My head fell all the way back instantly. "Oh God..." His tongue moved in slow circles around my nipple while his fingers played gently with the other one. Pleasure spread through my body in long, deep waves. My fingers tightened around the bedsheet beneath me. Then he moved lower. Kissing slowly down my stomach. My breathing became very unsteady. Anticipation coiled tightly deep inside me, like a spring being wound up slowly. His hand slid between my thighs. I spread my legs wider immediately. A small smirk appeared briefly on his lips. Then his fingers pushed beneath my underwear. I gasped sharply. "So wet already?" he murmured low against my skin. Heat rushed to my cheeks, but before I could say anything, one finger slid slowly inside me. A loud moan came straight from my lips. ‘Finally.’ My whole body melted into the bed. Then a second finger, deeper this time. I cried out louder, my back arching high as pleasure pulsed powerfully through me. I wanted more. ‘Needed’ more. As if he could feel exactly what I needed, Liam pulled me closer toward him. He slowly lifted my skirt higher before sliding my underwear all the way down my legs. His eyes locked with mine. That one look alone was almost enough to make me fall apart. Then he lowered himself between my thighs. My breath completely stopped. "Liam..." A smirk touched his lips before his mouth finally pressed against me. I nearly jumped off the bed completely. "Oh f**k…" My fingers buried deep into his hair immediately. His tongue moved slowly at first. Then deeper. Harder. Like he had made up his mind to completely ruin me. I could not stop the sounds coming out of my lips. Every single movement of his mouth sent waves of pleasure crashing hard through my body. My thighs trembled around him. My breathing became very messy and uneven. My release was building too fast. Too fast. Then suddenly he pulled away. A small helpless cry left me immediately. "I want more," I said softly, almost begging. Liam's eyes became very dark at the sound of my pleading. Then he went back down on me harder than before. His tongue moved without stopping, pushing me completely out of my mind. My head fell back hard against the bed. One hand gripped the sheets tightly while the other stayed buried in his hair. My whole body shook beneath him. The pressure inside me built tighter and tighter and tighter. Then suddenly… BANG! The door flew open violently. I jerked hard in shock. A red haired girl stood at the entrance, staring at us with wide and furious eyes. "Babe!" she screamed. "You are f**king another girl!”Liam's POV"No one." I replied curtly, not wanting Andrea to ask more questions. I turned and started down the hallway toward the changing room, then glanced back at him. "Now, back to my question. Why'd you come watch practice today?"I asked it again, hoping it would pull his focus away from whatever he was trying to figure out.Andrea let out a long breath. "Okay, I'll tell you since you asked twice." He fell into step beside me. "I've been trying so hard to get someone off my mind, but that person's made it clear, with words and actions, that they need space." His head turned toward me. I turned too, our eyes meeting for a brief second. "A whole lot of space." He emphasized, and we both faced forward again.He kept walking beside me. "Seeing this person more every day just makes me want them even worse. My heart won't isn't helping at all."A dull ache spread through my chest. I already knew exactly who he meant. I swallowed. "Who is this person?""You know who it is." He answered
Vera's POV"It'll sure be funnn." She dragged the last word out, then tilted her head. "But since you've already got somewhere to be tomorrow, I guess it's fine."My eyes drifted toward the field. "The party's tomorrow." I turned back to her. "Let's see if I can make it work.""It'd be so nice to spend tomorrow night with you." She smiled, though the smile looked stiff on her face.I was about to say something when her phone rang loud, cutting our conversation. Queen pulled it out fast and pressed it to her ear."What?" She listened a few seconds, then rolled her eyes. "Eishh, it's fine, I'm coming."She ended the call and dropped her phone, her hand landed on my lap. "I have to go, Vera. Kingsley just called, said he's about to leave.""Ohh." I nodded. "Okay, bye.""Bye." She pushed herself up off the bleacher."Isn't he supposed to be on the field?" I asked, looking up at her."He faked being sick to skip practice."My eyebrows shot up. "He's a smart guy." I gave her a wink.Queen g
Vera's POV The giggle grew louder, and the hands covering my eyes shifted slightly across my face. I turned my head fast, and my eyes landed on Queen. A smile spread across my face. "I knew it was you." She laughed and stepped aside, walking around to stand in front of me. "How'd you know it was me?" She raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. "Do I have any other female friends besides you?" Her lips slid to the side as she wiggled her fingers. "What about Peter? He's your friend too." "Yes, but he isn't a female." I raised an eyebrow right back at her. "And he definitely doesn't smell like one." Queen stared at me for a beat before shaking her head. "Okay, fair point." She dropped down into the seat beside me and rested her head on my shoulder. I shifted slightly to make her comfortable, and neither of us said anything after that. We just watched the boys on the field, the sound of their shoes tearing through grass mixing with shouts from the crowd around us. Then suddenly, "G
Vera's POVI didn't know where to go. All I knew was that I wanted to be as far from that dance studio as possible right then. My feet carried me down the hallway without me paying attention to where they were taking me, my mind still stuck on everything that had just happened. Sarah. The lighter. The pain still throbbing on my wrist. And the way I'd fought back against all of them.After a few minutes, I found myself standing in front of the restroom. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. It was quiet in there. I walked straight to the sink and turned on the faucet, water rushing out fast.My eyes dropped to my hands, then to my right wrist, the spot where Sarah had burned me still stinging. I moved my fingers around it carefully, avoiding the burn itself. A small smile crept onto my face. At least I hadn't let them walk over me like some pushover."I need to wash their stench off my hands." I muttered, sliding my palms under the running water, scrubbing carefully, keeping cle

Vera's POV I stood still, the glass of water frozen in my hand. What the heck? "I should be the one asking you that." He said with his eyes carrying suspicion.
