Sienna

I waited, staring up at him, heart pounding as though my life depended on his answer. Jaxon finally exhaled, his hand slipping from my hair.

“I… I don’t know, Sienna,” he said. His voice was low, careful, but the words cut through me like glass.

“You don’t know?” I whispered, forcing a weak laugh that didn’t sound like me. “That’s your answer?”

He sat up, rubbing his face with his hands, clearly frustrated. “I’m just saying… it’s complicated. What we’re doing… what this is… I don’t know how it ends. Or if it even can.”

The lump in my throat burned. My chest felt heavy. I pulled myself away from him, ignoring the way his eyes followed me. “Okay. Got it.”

I stood, gathering my clothes. My legs felt weak as I slipped them on quickly, refusing to look back. He didn’t stop me. Didn’t grab my hand. Didn’t say anything.

In the bathroom, I leaned against the sink, staring at my reflection. My cheeks were still flushed from everything we’d done, my hair a mess. And my stomach… sticky fr

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 42: Midnight Mischief

    SiennaThe front door opened with a burst of voices and bags rustling.“Kids? We’re back!” Dad’s voice carried into the house.I shot Jaxon a look—one of those we-just-almost-got-caught looks—and hurried to the couch. I curled up with a random book in my lap, pretending I’d been reading the whole time. Jaxon moved just as fast, slipping into a chair at the dining table with his notes open, head bent like he was deep in study.A second later, Mom and Dad walked in, arms full of grocery bags and folders. They stopped in the doorway, blinking at the picture we made.“Well, well, well,” Mom said, grinning wide. “Look at these two. Already in exam mode.”Dad chuckled, dropping his briefcase. “On a Friday night too. Should I frame this moment?”I forced a smile, flipping a page I hadn’t even read. “We’re just… getting ready early.”Jaxon hummed, tapping his pen like he was really solving equations. “Yeah, no distractions this weekend.” His eyes flicked up at me for half a second, and I knew

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 41: Keeping It Quiet

    SiennaThe rest of that evening blurred by. Mom and Dad came home, filling the house with their usual chatter about work, while Jaxon and I sat on opposite ends of the couch pretending to watch TV. Only we knew the truth—the heat between us had been cut short by my cramps, leaving something unsaid and unfinished.But if Jaxon was frustrated, he didn’t show it.All week, he became something else entirely. A caretaker.Every morning, he checked in before school. “You good?” he’d ask, his voice softer than usual, his hand brushing my shoulder like he was afraid I might break.At lunch, he’d slide his juice toward me. “You need this more.”After classes, he’d carry my bag, pretending it wasn’t heavy when I knew it was.At home, he’d hover while I studied. Sometimes he’d make me tea, sometimes he’d grab a blanket and toss it over me before settling down with his game. But always—always—his eyes found me.And the strangest part? I let him.Because the truth was, by midweek, the cramps had f

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 40: The Jealous Flame

    SiennaAva barely said two words through the rest of lunch, but her silence was louder than any outburst. Every time Jaxon leaned across the table to push my tray closer or muttered a low “eat something,” I felt her eyes burning holes into me.By the time the bell rang, Ava’s smile had cracked completely. I caught her and her little clique huddled near the lockers, whispers flying fast.“She’s his sister,” one of her friends reminded her, a little too loudly.“Step-sister,” Ava snapped, arms crossed tight. “And you don’t look at your step-sister like that.”I pretended not to hear. My heart was pounding too hard anyway.But Ava’s day only got worse. In the courtyard, Caleb—who had been orbiting her for months—was leaning against the bench, his phone tilted toward Kendra. They were laughing, heads almost touching.“Stop, Caleb,” Kendra giggled, swatting at his arm.Ava froze mid-step, her face twisting like she’d just bitten into something sour. I knew that look. It wasn’t just jealous

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 39: The Overprotective Idiot

    JaxonAs soon as I go to my room, I sat there in the dark, the phone screen the only light in my room. My thumbs kept moving, even when my eyes burned."How to reduce cramps fast.""Does chocolate actually help period pain?""What not to say to a girl on her period."I read everything. Articles, blogs, random forums. Half of it sounded useless, half of it made sense, but all of it—every stupid word—I took in like it was gospel. Because it was her. And I couldn’t stand watching her curl up, biting back those sounds that weren’t pleasure this time but pain.I wanted to fix it.And that scared me more than anything else.Because wanting to fix her pain wasn’t stepbrother instinct. It wasn’t something safe. It was something deeper, heavier. Something I couldn’t name without admitting what we’d already done, what we’d already crossed.I let the phone slide onto the mattress, staring at the ceiling. My body was still restless, still carrying the phantom heat of her skin against mine, but my

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 38: Period Cramps

    SiennaThe glow of my phone lit up the room in soft blue, the thread of our messages still open. My last words to him hung there like a dare:I want you. Will you come over to my room?The three dots appeared. Disappeared. Then came back again. My heart beat so fast it felt like it would tear out of my chest.A few minutes later, the faintest creak of the floorboard by my door made me sit up. My pulse raced as the handle turned slowly. Jaxon slipped inside, closing it behind him with the softest click, his shadow moving across my room like we were both doing something forbidden.He didn’t say a word. He didn’t have to. His eyes locked with mine in the dark, and that was enough.The second he reached my bed, I pulled him down and our lips crashed together, hungry and messy, our hands were everywhere; grabbing and fondling my boobs, grabbing his head as I made tuggled his hair with my fingers…. like we couldn’t get enough. His weight pressed against me, his mouth tasting like mint gum,

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother    Chapter 37: The Almost

    JaxonThe silence between us got louder. My pen slipped from my fingers, rolling off the desk, but neither of us moved to pick it up.Sienna’s eyes stayed on mine, wide and locked in place. Her lips parted like she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.My hand twitched, wanting to reach for hers.She shifted closer. Just a little. Just enough to send a charge crawling up my spine.“Jaxon…” she whispered.That was all it took—one word in that voice. I leaned in, my chest tightening, every nerve screaming at me to close the space between us.Her hand brushed mine. Her knee pressed against my leg. My breath caught.This was it. The barrier was gone.Then—HOOONK!We both jumped. The sound blasted through the open window, sharp and clear: a car horn in the driveway.“Crap,” Sienna gasped, jerking back.I dragged a hand over my face, half groaning, half laughing bitterly. “Of course. Perfect timing.”We scrambled to our feet, shoving books together, acting like nothing had been ha
