Prologue, Preview and WARNING!

Piper is in love with Cory. It started as an innocent childhood crush that eventually grew into deep feelings. They have known each other since Piper was 5, and Cory was 9, but Cory doesn’t feel the same way; he’s always treated her more like a little sister, and with good reason. She IS his little sister! Well, step-sister..

When Cory comes home for their father's funeral, emotions are running high, and what starts as a little bit of sibling comfort soon turns into something more…

Something that's so wrong but feels so right…

Prologue 

Walking in through the front door, I slammed it with my foot behind myself while I attempted to juggle all the shopping bags full of gifts I had just spent the day getting….Some somewhat begrudgingly. It was so strange and a little triggering to go Christmas shopping for family and friends and not getting anything for the most important person that WAS in my life. The most constant person that WAS in my life… 

…my father. 

The man who raised me single handedly for years after my mother died. Sure, he met and married my stepmother, Anne, when I was 5, but he never stopped being my number one, and now he is gone. 

How did it feel like so long ago yet like yesterday all at the same time? Thinking of my dad still made my heart hurt like I'd lost him all over again. 

Shaking my head, trying to think of something else, I headed for the stairs and went up to my bedroom to hide the seasonal purchases before Mum could see them. 

I had just finished stuffing the last bag under my bed when there was a knock at the door, and Mum poked her head in before I even had the chance to tell her she could. I hid my announcement well as her big, bright smile appeared wide on her face. 

‘What's with the grin?’ I asked, curiously, my own smile growing automatically to match hers. She took that as an invitation and stepped fully into the room. 

‘So, I just got off the phone to Cory-’ At the mention of his name, my smile fell a little, but I quickly replaced it with a fake one, and luckily, she didn’t notice, ‘-and he’s coming home for Christmas!’. 

‘Oh’. I heard the disappointment in my own voice, ‘Oh!’ I repeated with some more fake enthusiasm, but she noticed. 

‘What's wrong?’ She asked. I just shrugged while shaking my head and averted my gaze away. 

‘Nothing. Just… He hasn’t been home since Dad's funeral. Thought he was too busy for family time these days’. I mumbled. I heard mum sigh, but didn’t turn to look at her. Instead, I made myself busy, tidying up my bed, grabbing the clothes I had left there this morning while I was trying to figure out what to wear. 

‘Piper, you know that’s not true. He’s just busy’. 

‘Too busy for family?’ 

‘Well, at least he’s coming home for the holidays, please, play nice with Sarah, we don’t want a repeat of what happened at the wake, now do we?’ She asked, but it was rhetorical. She didn’t want me to answer. I cringed internally, remembering the screaming match I had with Cory’s girlfriend in the middle of our lounge at my father's wake a few months ago… and then entirely different feelings filled me when I remembered what happened after that. ‘Piper?’ 

‘Huh? What?’ I asked, trying my best to, again, forget. ‘Right, right, Sarah. Fine. I’ll play nice’. I assured my mother, before adding, ‘If she does’. 

After giving me a final stern look but not verbally responding, Mum headed out of my bedroom again and closed the door. Once she was gone, I dumped the clothes that I had in my arms that I had just picked up, down onto the floor and flopped onto my bed. Letting out a groan when I hit it a little too hard and pulled my pillow under my chin. 

I can’t believe he’s bringing her to Christmas! 

Remembering everything that happened last time instantly made anger flare up inside me again. She is just such a mean, spiteful bitch, I don’t know why Cory puts up with her. Why was he even still with her? 

After how she acted? 

After what she did?! 

After… What WE did? 

I bit my lip to stop a small groan escaping, and closed my eyes, remembering his hot hands on my body and soft lips on my skin. Every secret touch. Every forbidden lick. Every taboo kiss. After wanting him for so long.. No, craving him was more accurate; to finally HAVE him was something that I couldn’t believe, even when it was actively happening. 

To have Cory inside me, making love to me, taking my virginity, after having such… confusing feelings for him for so long, just… didn’t seem real. 

…And now he is coming home, with his girlfriend, for the holidays, and I’m going to have to pretend like he didn’t give me everything I wanted but can never have again. 

What we did would NEVER happen again, it will forever be our little, forbidden secret, because let's be honest… I could never tell anyone I spent the best night of my life… in the arms of my brother…

VERY IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE: This story does NOT contain incest in the storyline. This story is about a forbidden, secret relationship between a STEP brother and STEP sister, however going forward I won’t be putting the word ‘’step’’ infront of brother, sister, mother or father as the family has been together for so long, they consider each other ACTUAL family even though there is NO BIOLOGICAL RELATION except for Benjimin and Piper and Cory and Anne. 

This story will also contain extremely detailed and graphic sexual content!!

I want to make this clear to save any negative comments regarding incest relationships, but also, this is a FORBIDDEN story in the FORBIDDEN LOVE COMPETITION. Please bear that in mind. Thank you, and enjoy.
