All Chapters of Unspoken Pleasures : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Karl and I have been step-siblings for three years, ever since our parents' whirlwind marriage. Growing up under the same roof, we've both developed a love-hate relationship, constantly bickering and competing for attention. But beneath the surface, I never knew I had secretly harboured feelings for Karl, and I was in for a darn surprise. It was the night of our parents' anniversary, while we all ate solemnly admist our parents' persuasions that I discovered his little secret. None of us spoke a word until Karl spoke up after a while. He snorted, insulting the way I ate. "You don't have to be so snarky about the way I eat," I remarked, getting pissed as he mimicked me. "You're not a kid anymore, you're twenty, Jennifer," his tone held so much contempt. I bit down on my lower lip, threw my cutlery at him to which he dodged. "You think I'm pleased to have this dinner with you here?" I stood up, ignoring my stepfather's alarmed look. "Sit down," Donald, my stepdad intoned. Mot

I had committed an unforgivable act, and I felt my heart as heavy as my thoughts were soiled. Yet, I'm stunned to think myself inlove with Alexander. Elizabeth, my identical twin had been chatting with Alexander Cavannagh online for months, and despite never meeting him in person, she felt herself inlove with him. When Alexander had asked her out on a date, she couldn't bear to disappoint him. However, she had reservations about meeting him alone. Then, she turned to me, voicing her worries. I was the reserved, shy yet intelligently smart to detect when something was amiss. For this gift of mine, I found it hard to fall in love. Elizabeth, on the other hand was the complete opposite, she was outspoken, jovial and everyone's friend. What I lacked, she had, and what she lacked, I had. So, I tried to understand why she wanted me to go in her place to see Alexander. It would be just one date and everything would spin back to the way it used to be. I took a drive downtown, hoping to

I must have been crazy turning down such a juicy offer. She was only but a girl who was desperate to have her needs met. And I certainly wouldn't give her what she needed. I wasn't made to believe such weak and easy tales. I knew she had been stalking me, from the park, down to my house, to the office and the grocery store. I was bound to make her hate me, but that did not deter her one bit. She seemed more spirited, skirting away from morals and needing to do the needful. She was someone I knew but didn't know. The thought of her breasts, thoughts that they could fill my hands had me aroused yet again. One good thing was how I had willed myself in not giving in to the temptations of her alluring body but I didn't know how long my self-control would last. So, she had to go. I must snap out of all lucid dreams about her, I was old enough to become her father. Why then was I nestled deep in the thoughts of her? I passed by her house when returning home, hoping to catch a gli

There had been a criminal on the run and the Hayhill community had been warned to steer from dark corners and report any notorious criminal found. Kiara and Mia had joked over it while staring at the supposed television. The two had been childhood friends and they knew how rumours like this had disrupted the activities of the day in the time past. Most of the neighboring communities hadn't taken these tales to mind, so why should Hayhill? "You had better lock ya door behind ya since you live all alone in ya expensive pent-like house," Mia said jokily to Kiara as they both parted away. Kiara laughed at that. "And I'll be glad to help your father shove his rifle to the face of the criminal once he is caught." Kiara waved her off while leaving the shopping mall. Mia's father was a sergeant, so the town was secured, Kiara thought to herself. Kiara was exhausted, down to the bones. She walked into her house and threw her bag to the coach while pulling herself out of her dress.

I've known Jenny since like forever. We shared simply everything about our lives together to the extent that because of our friendship, our parents got acquainted with each other. Jenny got her first heartbreak while at prom, fury ran through my veins and I was forced to confront Terry. Terry blurted out that he'd been forced into a relationship with her which he didn't like. I had no choice but to comfort Jenny. I knew how Jenny could be, haunting, rude, and spoilt to the core. Yeah, you know it. She was stinkingly wealthy with maids perched around her to serve her needs. I wanted to cling to the fact that Jenny and I were great friends, but time and again she had always proved to me that I was merely her tool. We got into college and everything changed. Jenny got a new boyfriend and I knew I was in trouble. His name was Jeff Sanderson, a footballer who was skilled in American football and had great eyes for girls. It was obvious that Jeff was a Cassanova and the two love birds
