Sienna

The house was quiet — too quiet — except for the ticking wall clock and the hum of the air conditioner. My phone screen glowed faintly under my blanket as Jaxon’s message popped up:

Jaxon: Can I come over?

My heart skipped a beat. I stared at the message, reading it over and over. Every part of me screamed yes. I typed fast:

Me: Come quietly. The door’s not locked.

I pressed send, then froze when I heard it — the soft creak of my parents’ bedroom door opening.

My stomach dropped. I quickly texted again, hands shaking.

Me: Abort. Dad’s awake.

I shoved the phone under my pillow, shut my eyes, and turned to my side, pretending to be fast asleep. My heart thudded so loud I was scared it would give me away.

Footsteps echoed faintly down the hallway. My dad’s heavy but steady pace. He always had this habit — checking the house before sleeping. Every window, every door.

He walked downstairs, the faint sound of the locks clicking as he checked them one by one. I could hear him mutterin

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 193: Morning Smiles and Quiet Calls

    SiennaMy phone buzzed almost instantly after I sent the ridiculous “babies” message.I covered my face with my pillow, already cringing-laughing at myself.Then his reply came through:Jaxon: Babies?? 😂😂 Wow. Straight to the final boss level, huh?I giggled, biting my lip.Jaxon: You sure you can handle mini versions of me running around? They’ll break your house.I replied fast:Sienna: I’ll return them to sender.He sent a row of laughing emojis.Jaxon: Too late. I already like the idea.My stomach flipped. I kicked my feet under my blanket.Sienna: Goodnight, crazy person.Jaxon: Goodnight, future baby mama.I screamed into my pillow — quietly — then tossed my phone aside and buried myself under my sheets, smiling like someone who had inhaled too much happiness.Eventually, I drifted off.Warm. Full. Safe.Sunlight slipped through my curtains, soft and warm on my face when I woke up the next morning. I stretched, still smiling from the night before.For the first time in weeks,

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 192: Blushing in the Rain

    SiennaAfter we cleaned up and dressed up, Jaxon drove me home slowly, the rain still tapping gently on the windshield. The car smelled faintly of his cologne and the wet leather seats, and I could feel my cheeks heating every time he glanced at me, the corner of his lips twitching into that soft, knowing smile.When we pulled up in front of my house, I fumbled with my seatbelt, blushing from how hot the two rounds of sex we just had was, I could still feel how hard his dick was going in and out of my pussy. He looked over at me, eyes dark and teasing. “You okay?”I nodded, trying to play it cool, but my lips betrayed me with a small, nervous smile.“Yeah… I’m fine,” I mumbled.He laughed softly, low and warm, and reached over to squeeze my hand before I opened the door. “Text me when you get inside safely.”I nodded again, heart racing. “I will.”I got out and waved at him. The way he looked at me in the rearview mirror made my stomach flip again. And then, just like that, he drove

    SiennaI swallowed hard, my pulse racing, and nodded slightly.“Yes,” I whispered. “I want you.”The corners of his lips curved into a soft, almost relieved smile. His hand reached gently for mine, intertwining our fingers. The car felt smaller, warmer, the air around us charged with something that made my heart hammer in my chest.For a moment, we just stayed like that — silent, holding onto each other, letting the tension stretch between us.Then, almost suddenly, the sky shifted.The soft golden light of the late afternoon dimmed. Clouds rolled in, thick and low. Within seconds, the first drops of rain tapped against the windshield, then quickly grew heavier, drumming across the roof of the car.Jaxon’s gaze flicked to the windows, then back to me. He smiled, a mix of amusement and awe.“Well,” he murmured, “I guess the universe likes drama as much as we do.”I laughed softly, a breathless, shaky sound, letting him pull me a little closer. The rain painted the field outside in stre

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 190: A Different Monday

    SiennaMonday came too fast.I barely slept the night before. My mind kept replaying everything — my dad’s face, my mum’s gentle voice, Lena being mentioned, the ache in my chest, and Jaxon’s soft words in that voice note.But when I stepped into school, something felt… different.People weren’t staring at me the same way.They weren’t whispering with hostility.They were whispering with pity. Concern. Curiosity.A group of girls from my English class stopped talking the moment they saw me — not to glare, but to soften.“That’s her…” one of them muttered.“Her ex was the one stalking her.”“God, that’s scary.”“She didn’t deserve that.”“She’s been going through so much.”A boy from my chemistry class gave me a small nod, like a quiet “stay strong.”Another girl gently touched my arm in the hallway. “I’m really sorry about everything, Sienna.”It was subtle, but it was real.The story had shifted.The narrative had changed.I wasn’t the villain anymore.I was the girl who had been hur

    SiennaThe moment my mum walked out to call my dad, my stomach dropped.I stayed on my bed for a second, hugging my pillow, breathing in and out like someone preparing for an exam they didn’t study for.Then I grabbed my phone and texted Jaxon.My fingers shook as I typed.Sienna:My dad is coming over. Mum said it’s important. I’m scared.He replied almost immediately.Jaxon:Do you want me to come? I can drive down. I’ll explain to him. I’ll tell him everything.I closed my eyes, imagining him standing beside me—warm, stubborn, protective.But this was something I had to face alone.Sienna:No… not now. I’ll be okay. I’ll text you after.A long pause.Then:Jaxon:I’m right here, okay? Whatever happens.A call away. Don’t let him make you feel small.My throat tightened.Sienna:I won’t. I promise.Few hrs later, my dad arrived. I heard the sound of his car as he drove into the compound.Then I heard his knock on the front door from my room.Then the sound of the door opening.Murmu

    SiennaA soft knock dragged me out of sleep.For a moment I forgot where I was.Forgot what happened.Forgot the chaos that led us here.Then my mum’s voice came through the door.“Sienna. Wake up. We need to leave early.”My eyes shot open.Early?I sat up, pushing my hair back. “Mum? What’s going on?”She opened the door halfway, still in her travel sweater, hair tied up, eyes alert like she’d barely slept.“We’re leaving in twenty minutes,” she said. “Liana needs to get to the airport, and… I want us home before noon.”Right. Liana’s flight.And everything that happened yesterday.“Okay,” I murmured, rubbing my face.My mum softened a little. “Get dressed quickly.”She closed the door gently.I took a breath, grabbed clean clothes, and got ready as fast as my shaking hands allowed.My phone buzzed the moment I picked it up.KENDRA: BABE WAKE UP!!Another buzz.KENDRA: EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT TYLER. I MEAN EVERYONE.Another.KENDRA: Two boys from school saw him at the police stati
