Sienna

The school was alive that Friday like it had been waiting all year for this single day. Streamers, balloons, and banners were strung up in the halls, some already crooked from students tugging at them on their way to class. The air smelled faintly of markers, tape, and the hairspray girls had sprayed on themselves before first period. Everywhere I looked, it was prom, prom, prom.

Campaign posters for Prom King and Queen littered the walls, taped over lockers and bulletin boards. Some were flashy, with glitter and pictures, others just sharpie-scrawled slogans. Every time a bell rang, someone new shoved flyers into your hands, chanting promises about free candy if you voted for them.

And then, there was the other kind of “advertising.” A few seniors—bold or just stupid—moved through the hallway selling little “prom packs” out of their backpacks: boxes of condoms, mini bottles of baby oil, even perfume samples swiped from their sisters’ dressers. Giggles and whispers followed the

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 58: Interrupted Heat

    SiennaWhen we reached the hotel lobby, the guide herded us into a lounge area and asked everyone to introduce themselves while the staff sorted out keys.The couples went first, warm and chatty, talking about their retirement trips. The solo woman introduced herself as Chloe, a travel blogger. Then it was him—the man with the too-familiar face.“Name’s Aaron,” he said smoothly, flashing a grin that didn’t touch his eyes. “From Chicago.”My heart gave a sharp twist.It wasn’t Tyler. It wasn’t our neighbor back home. Not exactly. But the resemblance was uncanny enough that both Jaxon and I exchanged a quick look.Too close. Too similar. Too risky.Jaxon leaned toward me, his whisper sharp, “Aaron, huh? Doesn’t even sound real.”I forced a smile when Aaron’s eyes flicked to me. “Nice to meet you,” I said, keeping my voice steady even though my palms were sweating.The introductions moved on, and soon the guide was handing out room keys and little folders with our schedules. Everyone see

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 57: Boarding Secrets

    SiennaMorning came too quickly. I barely slept, the mystery text replaying in my head like a bad dream. When my alarm buzzed, I groaned, rolling over to see another message from Jaxon already waiting.Jaxon: Morning, baby. Today’s the day. Dubai.Jaxon: Forget the creep. Just us.I stared at his words, my chest tightening. Easier said than done. But when I got up and started folding clothes into my suitcase, a strange thrill pushed past the fear. Dubai. A whole week together. Alone.Down the hall, I could hear drawers opening and closing—Jaxon was packing too. Mom and Dad had left for work early, telling us last night that a driver would take us to the airport by noon.I stuffed my bikinis at the bottom of the bag, hiding them under sundresses, my cheeks hot even though no one was watching. My mind kept drifting to Jaxon, wondering what he was packing.By the time I zipped my suitcase and dragged it downstairs, he was already in the living room, his duffel bag slung over his shoulder

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 56: Whispers in the Dark

    SiennaI couldn’t breathe. The words on the screen blurred as my hands shook.You’re fucking your step-brother.It repeated in my mind like a scream I couldn’t shut off.Jaxon stood in the doorway, his phone lit with the same message. His jaw was tight, but I could see the fear in his eyes.“Who the hell has our numbers?” I whispered, my throat dry.Before he could answer, my phone buzzed again.Another message. Don’t bother hiding. I saw everything.My chest went cold. I clutched the phone like it might burn me. Jaxon stepped closer, reading over my shoulder, his expression hardening.“Someone’s messing with us,” he muttered, but his voice was low, like he didn’t even believe himself.“Or they’re serious,” I whispered back.We spent the rest of the night pacing, talking in circles, trying to figure out who could’ve sent it. Tyler? Ava? One of Jaxon’s friends? Someone at the party? The shadow leaving the lake house replayed in my head over and over again.Sleep didn’t come.---The n

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 55 :The Shadow at the Door

    SiennaMy heart hammered so loud, I swore Jaxon could hear it. The floor creaked again — slow, steady. Whoever it was, they weren’t just downstairs anymore. They were climbing.The bedroom door was wide open, our clothes still scattered in the half-light. Panic surged through me.“Shit, Jaxon—” I whispered, already fumbling for my bra.“Quick,” he muttered, pulling his shirt over his head and hopping into his jeans.In less than a minute we were both dressed, though messy, our hair wild, skin still flushed from what we had done. We darted out into the hallway, bracing ourselves.But the footsteps… stopped.Instead, silence.We rushed down the stairs, every sound of our movement echoing in the empty house. My stomach twisted, my hands trembling as I clutched the railing.At the bottom, a blur of motion caught my eye. A shadowy figure — tall, fast — slipped through the open front door. By the time we made it outside, all we saw was the flash of taillights.The car peeled away, tires scr

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 54 : The Post-Prom Heat

    SiennaThe house was finally quiet.By noon, the last of the cars had pulled out of the driveway, and silence rushed in like a tide after a storm. Cups and wrappers still cluttered the corners, but the music was gone, the laughter gone, the chaos gone. All that was left was me, Jaxon, and the faint smell of alcohol lingering in the air.I was slumped on the couch, head pounding like drums inside my skull. My throat felt like sandpaper, and my stomach twisted every time I moved. I groaned softly, pressing a hand to my forehead.Jaxon appeared from the kitchen, holding two bottles of water and a small packet. “Here,” he said, tossing one bottle into my lap gently before sitting down beside me. “Electrolytes. Stole it from Caleb’s stash last week. Figured we’d need it after… this.”I managed a small smile and tore the packet open. “You’re a lifesaver.”He smirked, stretching an arm across the back of the couch like he owned the space. “I know.” His tone was teasing, but his eyes softened

  • We shouldn’t be doing this, Step-brother   Chapter 53: Games, Drinks and Dawn

    SiennaThe night air still clung to my skin, sticky with sweat, lake mist, and Jaxon’s touch. My legs were trembling as I tried to fix my dress, my breathing shallow and uneven, like my body hadn’t yet realized the world kept moving. Jaxon was buttoning his shirt with that smug little grin he always wore after ruining me, and it made me bite back a laugh—even though part of me wanted to pounce on him all over again.I froze when I heard footsteps crunching over the gravel path. My heart almost jumped out of my throat.Tyler.He was a few meters away, his voice carrying low as he muttered, “Yeah, Dad… I hear you. I’ll be back before noon tomorrow.”My chest tightened. For a moment, I thought he was coming right toward us, that he’d see me flushed, wrinkled, exposed in ways no one else should. But the call tugged him in the opposite direction, and he turned, his silhouette fading back into the shadows toward the main house.Jaxon let out a low whistle once Tyler was out of earshot. “Dam
