All Chapters of On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Raelynn “Pack your bags, we’re moving.” My mother’s words echo in my mind as I shove my clothes angrily into my box. This week has been hell, scratch that, way worse than hell. Yesterday, I walked in on the one person I called my best friend, Chloe, and my boyfriend, Peter, making out. Peter and I were to hang out at his place, but he couldn’t because he suddenly caught the flu. Being the sweet and naive girlfriend I was, I decided to go over and check on him. Bring him some soup and tissues. I did not need to knock because I know his passcode...one two three four five six, yes, he is an idiot. Turns out I should have just minded my business and stayed at home, then maybe I wouldn’t have had to walk on both of them right there on his couch, her black hair tangled in his fingers. The worst thing was that they did not even feel bad about it. Chloe just smirked, and Peter’s excuse? “You’ve been depressed lately, and we needed to rely on each other.” I throw another shirt into my su

Grayson The party is already in full swing when we arrive—loud music, sweaty people, and cheap perfumes. Isa disappears, muttering something about finding her friends. I walk over to the VIP room, wanting some sort of quietness. Once I'm seated on the empty couch, I bring out the vape from my pocket and take a hit. The familiar burn spreads through my chest, sharp and soothing all at once. I hold it in, letting it settle before exhaling slowly through my nose. The tension in my shoulders eases as the smoke curls around me, blending into the dimly lit room. This is what I needed. Vaping always happens to cool me off, no matter what's on my mind, which is why, no matter how much Edward whines about it, I don't give a sh*t. If he hadn't done what he did, then I wouldn't need a vape in the first place. Edward hates this habit, always going on about how I'm "damaging myself" or "setting a bad example." Like he's ever given a damn about my well-being. That's his fucking business. Bu

Raelynn Grayson stares at me from the driver’s seat, his window rolled down just enough for the rain to drip onto his arm. He is completely relaxed, like he did not just scare the life out of me. His gaze drags over my trembling frame, lingering on my soaked clothes, on my white tank top, now practically see-through. Heat rushes to my cheeks, and I cross my arms over my chest instinctively. A lazy smirk tugs at his lips. He looks frustratingly entertained. “You look like sh*t,” he drawls. “Screw you,” I snap, my voice hoarse from the cold and the panic clawing at my throat. He tilts his head, feigning a pout. “You’re the one standing in the middle of a storm, looking like a half-drowned stray kitty.” My fists clench at my sides. I hate him so much that I can strangle him. “But if you want me to leave…” He starts the car, fingers drumming against the wheel. I know he will. He will not hesitate. “Wait,” I blurt before I can stop myself. Grayson pauses but does not turn off t

RaelynnYou have got to me kidding me.It’s ten p.m. on a school night and there’s a damn full-blown part happening right under my nose. The worse part of it all, is that I actually saw Grayson earlier but rather than telling me he’s turning our place into a club he decided I wasn’t worth the trouble.A8shole.I clutch the novel in my hand tighter as the terrible choice of music echoes through the walls.The door snaps open and a drunk girl starts to come in gagging like she’s about to puke.“Not the bathroom!” I practically fly out of my bed and rush her out slamming the door shut, leaning my back against it.Frustration bubbles in my chest, but my mind drifts back to the letter.Grayson had almost read it, and if he did all hell would be loosed by now. Thankfully he didn’t because Briella showed up but the jerk had refused to give it back.I have to get it back.Just then a plan comes to my mind.Grayson’s at the party probably drinking or getting sucked off in some corner by a poor

Raelynn.I don’t bother looking back.I keep my head high, shoulders squared, ignoring how drenched I am and the murmurs that flow in the crowd around me. but most of all, I ignore the way I can still his gaze burning into my back.It’s almost funny how shocked they look, as if they actually expected me to just stand there and take it, like I was supposed to bow my head, smile through the humiliation, maybe even kiss Briella’s feet while I was at it.Idiots.“Pathetic,” I hear a Yara yell behind me. “Even for you three, it’s so embarrassing.”I don’t turn back, but a small smile spread on my lips at her sticking up for me even though we just met few hours ago.The moment I step into my room, I start peeling off my soaked dress, only to jolt when the door slams open again. Yara storms in, snatching my towel with so much force you’d think she was trying to strangle someone.“Thanks,” I smile taking the towel from her. A chuckle escapes my lips as I watch her furrowed brows and the way s
