Chapter 4

Mason:

I looked down at Lily. She lay limp in my arms; she reeked of alcohol and was nearly assaulted. Fuck! I should have watched her. It was my idea and I should have kept an eye on her.

My heart raced just thinking about what could have happened to her. Mildred would have killed me.

“Where are we…hic…going? I don’t want to leave the…hic…party.”

I looked at her and shook my head. Her face was flushed and her speech was slurred and peppered with occasional hiccups.

“We are going home. That’s enough partying for one night.”

I tried to put her in the backseat of my car but she struggled with me.

“No…hic…I don’t want to go yet. We just got here. Leave me…hic…alone.”

I rolled my eyes and placed her in the back seat.

“Well too bad. Maybe try not to get so wasted early on.”

I shut the door and ran my hands through my hair. That was a close call. The possibility of her getting raped under my watch sent a fearful shiver down my spine. This was reckless and irresponsible of me.

I got into the car and drove off. I adjusted my driving mirror and stole occasional glances at her. Her shirt was rolled up and her belly was exposed. She had a toned stomach and a trimmed waist that flowed beautifully into her hips. I took a deep breath as I remembered her naked in the kitchen. It was an image I had struggled to get out of my mind since yesterday. Her flawless skin, gentle curves, her pert and firm breasts…

I shook my head as I pulled up in front of my hotel. I wasn’t going to let Maria see her like this. No doubt she would tell Mildred and I didn’t need her breathing down my neck right now.

I took a deep breath and got out of the car. I opened the door and Lily stirred drowsily in the back seat.

“Party… I want to go back.”

I ignored her and picked her up. Her shirt rolled even higher and I could see a bit of her breast peeking out from underneath. Shit! She had no bra on. I pulled her dress down and my fingers grazed her soft skin.

She groaned and pulled herself closer to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and pushing her chest closer to my face. I could feel her nipples grazing my face and hardening the more she pushed her soft breasts against me.

I sighed and carried her inside. I took the elevator up to my room on the top floor and she stirred in my arms, muttering something incomprehensible and brushing her lips against my cheek.

The smell of the martini clung to her breath. I looked down at her and her soft pink lips were parted. I turned my head away. This wasn’t right.

I got to my door and swiped the keycard. The door clicked and I entered my lush room. Lily’s eyes fluttered open and she unclasped her hands from around my neck.

“Where are we?”

Her speech was still slurred and I set her down on her feet.

“Can you stand on your own?”

“I think…hic…so,” she replied, clinging tightly to me.

I watched her dazed eyes look around the room in awe.

“Where are…bleeggghhhh…”

Her stomach bailed on her and she threw up her drinks. It was too late to move her to the bathroom and all I could do was hold her hair back while she doubled over and spilled her guts.

The floor was a mess and I could say the same for her clothes and my jeans. I sighed. I had brought this upon myself. I should have been watching her.

After a few minutes, she stopped. The mess on the floor was starting to slowly spread but I turned my attention to her.

“Are you alright?”

She nodded weakly and I saw her eyes closing as she began to topple over backwards. I grabbed her and pulled her close to me, getting some of her vomit on my shirt. I didn’t care and checked her. She was breathing but was unconscious.

I picked her up and took her to the bathroom. She was a mess and I had to get her cleaned up.

I ran a warm bath in the tub for her and began to take off her clothes. I gulped as my fingers ran across her soft skin. Her legs were straight and beautiful. Her cheerleading made her body look gorgeous. She wasn’t wearing panties under her jeans and I was greeted by a well-shaved…

“Think straight, Mace. She is your sister. Well…step-sister. But still…”

I took off her top and lowered her into the warm tub. I cleaned her up. The warm water against her skin was inviting. The soap gave her skin the smoothest feel. Her nipples hardened and lengthened as I ran the sponge across them to get her clean. I gulped. This wasn’t right but I couldn’t deny how beautiful she looked.

She murmured something and fell right back to sleep. I got her all clean and took her out of the tub. I dried her up and left her in bed with a towel draped around her. I left my bags at my dad’s place. I would get some new clothes in the morning.

I hopped into the shower and got clean, tossing my clothes and hers into the laundry basket for the room service to take care of later. As the warm water sprayed over me, thoughts of Lily crossed my mind. Her beauty was undeniable. Her body was perfect. Feminine and athletic. Her hair hung beautifully down her shoulders and teased her nipples, seductively hiding them from sight.

I shook my head vigorously. I had to stop thinking about her like that. It wasn’t right.

I got out of the shower and pulled on the only clothes I had in the hotel room: a pair of grey sweats. I leaned over to check on Lily and brushed her hair out of her face.

“Mason,” she mumbled and groaned sleepily.

I pulled the duvet over her and I felt a hand grab me. Lily pulled me into bed with her and I felt her bare breasts pressed against my chest. Her nipples were hard, her skin was soft and pleasantly warm.

My skin felt hot but she pulled me in closer as I tried to get away.

“Please…stay.”

She pulled me in tighter. I could smell the lavender on her skin. I ran my hands through her hair. I would wait for her to fall asleep and then I would get away. My eyes wandered across her face and body. I couldn’t deny how beautiful she looked.

Her breasts caught the corner of my eye.
